Each obligation hereunder of any party hereto that is denominated in the National Currency of a state that is not a Participating Member State on the Effective Date shall, effective from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State, be redenominated in Euro in accordance with the legislation of the European Union applicable to the European Monetary Union; provided that, if and to the extent that any such legislation provides that any such obligation of any such party payable within such Participating Member State by crediting an account of the creditor can be paid by the debtor either in Euros or such National Currency, such party shall be entitled to pay or repay such amount either in Euros or in such National Currency. If the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in this Agreement with respect to an Agreed Foreign Currency of any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the date on which such currency becomes an Agreed Foreign Currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest or fees in respect of the Euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State; provided that, with respect to any Borrowing denominated in such currency that is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect at the end of the Interest Period therefor.

Without prejudice to the liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrower under or pursuant to this Agreement, each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time, in consultation with the Borrower, reasonably specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction or changeover to the Euro in any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the Effective Date; provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower and the Lenders with prior notice of the proposed change with an explanation of such change in sufficient time to permit the Borrower and the Lenders an opportunity to respond to such proposed change.

Section 1.06. Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified in the Loan Documents, time references are to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

Section 1.07. Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.

Section 1.08. Issuers and Investors. For all purposes of this Agreement, all issuers of Eligible Portfolio Investments that are Affiliates of one another shall be treated as a single issuer (unless (i) such issuers are Affiliates of one another solely because they are under the common Control of the same private equity sponsor or similar sponsor or (ii) otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). For all purposes of this Agreement, all Investors that are Affiliates of one another shall be treated as a single Investor (unless (i) such Investors are Affiliates of one another solely because they are under the common Control of the same private equity sponsor or similar sponsor or (ii) otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders in their sole discretion).

Section 1.09. Rates. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.11(c), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on a Eurocurrency Loan, SOFR Loan or RFR Loan is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate”, “Term SOFR” or “Daily Simple RFR” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.11(c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.11(c), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Benchmark being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did the Benchmark being replaced prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

Section 1.10. Events of Default. Any Event of Default that has occurred shall be deemed to be continuing unless (i) waived in accordance with the terms hereof or (ii) the Required Lenders (or such higher standard as required by Section 9.02) otherwise agree that such Event of Default shall no longer be continuing.

Article II

THE CREDITS

Section 2.01. The Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Dollar Lender severally agrees to make Dollar Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving Dollar Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Dollar Commitment, (ii) the aggregate Revolving Dollar Credit Exposure of all of the Lenders exceeding the aggregate Dollar Commitments, or (iii) the total Covered Debt Amount exceeding the Borrowing Base then in effect; and

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Multicurrency Lender severally agrees to make Multicurrency Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Multicurrency Commitment, (ii) the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure of all of the Lenders exceeding the aggregate Multicurrency Commitments, or (iii) the total Covered Debt Amount exceeding the Borrowing Base then in effect.

Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans.

Section 2.02. Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Obligations of Lenders. Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class, Currency and Type made by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Type of Loans. Subject to Section 2.11, each Borrowing of a Class shall be constituted entirely of ABR Loans, RFR Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or of SOFR Loans of such Class denominated in a single Currency as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each ABR Loan and each SOFR Loan shall be denominated in Dollars. Each Pro-Rata Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be constituted entirely of ABR Loans or of SOFR Loans. Each Borrowing denominated in an Agreed Foreign Currency (other than Pounds Sterling) shall be constituted entirely of Eurocurrency Loans. Each Borrowing denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be constituted entirely of RFR Loans. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Minimum Amounts. Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $500,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, with respect to any Agreed Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent thereof; provided that a Borrowing of a Class may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments of such Class or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.18(f). Borrowings of more than one Class, Currency and Type may be outstanding at the same time.

(d) Limitations on Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request any SOFR Borrowing or Eurocurrency Borrowing (or to elect to convert to or continue as a SOFR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing) if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the Maturity Date.

Section 2.03. Requests for Borrowings.

(a) Notice by the Borrower. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by delivery of a signed Borrowing Request or by telephone or e-mail (in each case, followed promptly by delivery of a signed Borrowing Request) (i) in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m., Local Time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (iii) in the case of an RFR Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m., Local Time, five (5) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing and (iv) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such request for a Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or electronic delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, in the case of any Borrowing denominated in Dollars, the Borrower may request that such Borrowing be, or the Administrative Agent may cause such Borrowing to be, split into a Dollar Loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Pro-Rata Dollar Portion and a Multicurrency Loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Pro-Rata Multicurrency Portion (any such Borrowing, a “Pro-Rata Borrowing”). Except as set forth in this Agreement, a Pro-Rata Borrowing shall be treated as being comprised of two separate Borrowings, a Dollar Borrowing under the Dollar Commitments and a Multicurrency Borrowing under the Multicurrency Commitments. The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may allocate Borrowings hereunder in a manner such that, after giving effect to each extension of credit hereunder, each Lender’s outstanding principal amount of its Loans as a percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans outstanding is in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

(b) Content of Borrowing Requests. Each request for a Borrowing (whether a written Borrowing Request, a telephonic request or e-mail request) shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) whether such Borrowing is to be made under the Dollar Commitments, the Multicurrency Commitments or is a Pro-Rata Borrowing;

(ii) if such Borrowing is a Pro-Rata Borrowing, the Pro-Rata Dollar Portion and the Pro-Rata Multicurrency Portion;

(iii) the aggregate amount and Currency of the requested Borrowing;

(iv) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(v) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing; in the case of a SOFR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d) and provided that there shall be no more than ten (10) separate Borrowings outstanding at any one time; and

(vi) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.

(c) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of the amounts of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

(d) Failure to Elect. If no election as to the Class of a Borrowing is specified in a Borrowing Request, then the requested Borrowing shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be a Pro-Rata Borrowing. If no election as to the Currency of a Borrowing is specified in a Borrowing Request, then the requested Borrowing shall be denominated in Dollars. If no election as to the Type of a Borrowing is specified in a Borrowing Request, then the requested Borrowing shall be a SOFR Borrowing having an Interest Period of one (1) month and, if an Agreed Foreign Currency has been specified, the requested Borrowing shall be a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency and having an Interest Period of one (1) month; provided, however, if the specified Agreed Foreign Currency is Pounds Sterling, the requested Borrowings shall be an RFR Borrowing, as applicable. If a SOFR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing is requested but no Interest Period is specified, (i) if the Currency specified for such Borrowing is Dollars (or if no Currency has been so specified), the requested Borrowing shall be a SOFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars having an Interest Period of one (1) month, and (ii) if the Currency specified for such Borrowing is an Agreed Foreign Currency, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month.

Section 2.04. Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 11:00 a.m., Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.18(f) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

(b) Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and, in reliance upon such assumption, the Administrative Agent may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, (x) with respect to Eurocurrency Borrowings, the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in such Currency having an Interest Period of one month’s duration, (y) with respect to Term SOFR Borrowings, the interest rate applicable to Term SOFR Loans having an Interest Period of one month’s duration and (z) with respect to Borrowings denominated in Pounds Sterling, the interest rate applicable to RFR Loans denominated in such Currency, as applicable. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Nothing in this paragraph shall relieve any Lender of its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder, and shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.05. Interest Elections.

(a) Elections by the Borrower for Borrowings. Subject to Section 2.03(d), the Loans constituting each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a SOFR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, subject to Section 2.05(e), the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a SOFR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section; provided, however, that (i) a Borrowing of a Class may only be continued or converted into a Borrowing of the same Class, (ii) a Borrowing denominated in one Currency may not be continued as, or converted to, a Borrowing in a different Currency, (iii) no Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency may be continued if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposures would exceed the aggregate Multicurrency Commitments, and (iv) a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency may not be converted into a Borrowing of a different Type. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders of the respective Class holding the Loans constituting such Borrowing (except as provided under Section 2.11(b)), and the Loans constituting each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by delivery of a signed Interest Election Request or by telephone (followed promptly, but no later than the close of business on the date of such request, by a signed Interest Election Request) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request and telephonic notice shall be irrevocable.

(c) Content of Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic notice and Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing (including the Class) to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether, in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a SOFR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d); provided that there shall be no more than ten (10) separate Borrowings outstanding at any one time.

(d) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a SOFR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, (i) if such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a SOFR Borrowing of the same Class having an Interest Period of one (1) month and (ii) if such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency (other than Pounds Sterling), the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, (i) any SOFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall, at the end of the applicable Interest Period for such SOFR Borrowing, be automatically converted to an ABR Borrowing, (ii) the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect to convert or continue any Borrowing into or as a SOFR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (iii) any Eurocurrency Borrowing shall, at the end of the applicable Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Borrowing, be automatically converted to Dollars based on the Dollar Equivalent at such time and shall be an ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.06. Termination, Reduction or Increase of the Commitments.

(a) Mandatory Termination. Unless previously terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, on the Revolver Termination Date the Commitments of each Class shall automatically be reduced to an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and LC Exposure of all Lenders of such Class outstanding on the Revolver Termination Date and thereafter to an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and LC Exposure of such Class outstanding after giving effect to each payment of principal and each expiration or termination of a Letter of Credit hereunder; provided that, for clarity, except as expressly provided for herein (including without limitation, Section 2.18(e)) no Lender shall have any obligation to make new Loans or to issue, amend or renew an existing Letter of Credit on or after the Revolver Termination Date, and any outstanding amounts shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.07.

(b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. So long as no Borrowing Request is outstanding, the Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments ratably among each Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be in an amount that is $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or an amount less than $5,000,000 if the Commitments are being reduced to zero) and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans of any Class in accordance with Section 2.08, the total Revolving Credit Exposures of such Class would exceed the total Commitments of such Class.

(c) Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Commitments of a Class delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(d) Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of a Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of a Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders of such Class in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) Increase of the Commitments.

(i) Requests for Increase by Borrower. The Borrower may, at any time prior to the Revolver Termination Date, propose that the Commitments of a Class hereunder be increased (each such proposed increase being a “Commitment Increase”) by notice to the Administrative Agent specifying each existing Lender (each an “Increasing Lender”) and/or each additional lender (each an “Assuming Lender”) that shall have agreed to an additional Commitment and the date on which such increase is to be effective (the “Commitment Increase Date”), which date shall be a Business Day at least three (3) Business Days (or such lesser period as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree) after delivery of such notice and at least thirty (30) days prior to the Revolver Termination Date; provided that each Lender may determine in its sole discretion whether or not it chooses to participate in a Commitment Increase; provided, further that, subject to the foregoing, each Commitment Increase shall become effective only upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

(A) the minimum amount of the Commitment of any Assuming Lender, and the minimum amount of the increase of the Commitment of any Increasing Lender, as part of such Commitment Increase shall be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in each case, in such other amounts as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion),

(B) immediately after giving effect to such Commitment Increase, the total Commitments of all of the Lenders hereunder shall not exceed $500,000,000;

(C) each Assuming Lender and the Commitment Increase shall be consented to by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the Borrower;

(D) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such Commitment Increase Date or shall result from the proposed Commitment Increase;

(E) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than any representation or warranty already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Commitment Increase Date as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date);

(F) the Borrower shall have paid (or shall concurrently pay) in full to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders all fees and invoiced expenses related to this Agreement due and owing on or prior to the Commitment Increase Date, including any up-front fee due to any Lender on or prior to the Commitment Increase Date, which fees may be paid or netted from the proceeds of a Borrowing of the Loans on the Commitment Increase Date; and

(G) if requested by any Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender, the Borrower has executed and delivered: (x) a new promissory note payable to such Assuming Lender (and its registered assigns, as applicable); or (y) a replacement promissory note payable to such Increasing Lender (and its registered assigns, as applicable).

(ii) Effectiveness of Commitment Increase by the Borrower. On the Commitment Increase Date for any Commitment Increase, each Assuming Lender part of such Commitment Increase, if any, shall become a Lender hereunder as of such Commitment Increase Date with a Commitment in the amount set forth in the agreement referred to in Section 2.06(f)(ii)(y) and the Commitment of the respective Class of any Increasing Lender part of such Commitment Increase shall be increased as of such Commitment Increase Date to the amount set forth in the agreement referred to in Section 2.06(f)(ii)(y); provided that:

(x) the Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower stating that each of the applicable conditions to such Commitment Increase set forth in the foregoing paragraph (i) has been satisfied; and

(y) each Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time on such Commitment Increase Date, an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which such Lender shall, effective as of such Commitment Increase Date, undertake a Commitment or an increase of Commitment in each case of the respective Class, as applicable, duly executed by such Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender, as applicable, and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent.

Promptly following satisfaction of such conditions, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of such Class (including any Assuming Lenders) thereof and of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase Date by electronic messaging system.

(iii) Recordation into Register. Upon its receipt of an agreement referred to in clause (ii)(y) above executed by each Assuming Lender and each Increasing Lender part of such Commitment Increase, as applicable, together with the certificate referred to in clause (ii)(x) above, the Administrative Agent shall, if such agreement has been completed, (x) accept such agreement, (y) record the information contained therein in the Register and (z) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

(iv) Adjustments of Borrowings upon Effectiveness of Increase. On each Commitment Increase Date, with respect to the outstanding Loans in the Class subject to such Commitment Increase (or, if instructed by the Administrative Agent, all Classes), the Borrower shall (A) prepay the outstanding Loans of such Class (or, if instructed by the Administrative Agent, all Classes) in full, (B) simultaneously borrow new Loans of such Class hereunder in an amount equal to such prepayment; provided that with respect to subclauses (A) and (B), (x) the prepayment to, and borrowing from, any existing Lender shall be effected by book entry to the extent that any portion of the amount prepaid to such Lender will be subsequently borrowed from such Lender and (y) the existing Lenders, the Increasing Lenders and the Assuming Lenders shall make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans of such Class or all Classes, as applicable, are held ratably by the Lenders of such Class or all Classes, as applicable, in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lenders of such Class or Classes, as applicable (after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) and (C) pay to the Lenders of such Class or Classes, as applicable, the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.13 as a result of any such prepayment. Concurrently therewith, the Lenders with Multicurrency Commitments shall be deemed to have adjusted their participation interests in any outstanding Letters of Credit so that such interests are held ratably in accordance with their Multicurrency Commitments as so increased. The Administrative Agent shall amend Schedule 1.01(b) to reflect the aggregate amount of each Lender’s Commitments (including Increasing Lenders and Assuming Lenders). Each reference to Schedule 1.01(b) in this Agreement shall be to Schedule 1.01(b) as amended pursuant to this Section.

(v) Terms of Loans Issued on the Commitment Increase Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms and provisions of any new Loans issued by any Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender, and the Commitment Increase of any Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender, shall be identical to the terms and provisions of Loans of the applicable Class issued by, and the Commitments of the applicable Class of, the Lenders immediately prior to the applicable Commitment Increase Date.

Section 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Repayment. Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders of each Class the outstanding principal amount of the Loans of such Class and all other amounts due and owing hereunder and under the other Loan Documents on the Maturity Date.

(b) Manner of Payment. Subject to Section 2.08(f), prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Class or Classes and Borrowing or Borrowings to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by e-mail) of such selection not later than the time set forth in Section 2.08(f) prior to the scheduled date of such repayment. Subject to Section 2.08 and to the proviso to Section 2.15(c), if the repayment or prepayment is denominated in Dollars and the Class to be repaid or prepaid is specified (or if no Class is specified and there is only one Class of Loans with Borrowings in Dollars outstanding), such repayment or prepayment shall be applied ratably between or among, as applicable, the Loans of such Class (based on the then outstanding principal amounts of such Loans), in each case first to repay or prepay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of such Loans and second to repay or prepay the remaining Borrowings denominated in Dollars of such Loans in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid or prepaid first). Subject to Section 2.08 and to the proviso to Section 2.15(c), if the repayment or prepayment is denominated in Dollars and the Class to be repaid or prepaid is not specified, such repayment or prepayment shall be applied (i) ratably between or among, as applicable, the Dollar Loans of the Multicurrency Lenders (based on the then outstanding principal amounts of such Dollar Loans), in each case (x) first to repay or prepay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of the Multicurrency Lenders, and (y) then second to repay or prepay the remaining Borrowings denominated in Dollars of the Multicurrency Lenders in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowings with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first), and (ii) once the outstanding principal amount of all Dollar Loans of the Multicurrency Lenders is paid in full, ratably between or among, as applicable, the Loans of the Dollar Lenders (based on the then outstanding principal amounts of such Loans), in each case (x) first to repay or prepay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of the Dollar Lenders, and (y) then second to repay or prepay the remaining Borrowings of the Dollar Lenders in order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowings with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Subject to Section 2.08, and to the proviso to Section 2.15(c), if the repayment or prepayment is denominated in a particular Agreed Foreign Currency, such repayment or prepayment shall be applied ratably between or among, as applicable, any remaining Borrowings denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency (based on the then outstanding principal amounts of such Loans), in each case in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Each payment specified as a payment on account of the Pro-Rata Borrowings shall be applied ratably between the Dollar Loans and the Multicurrency Loans (based on the then outstanding principal amounts of Loans denominated in Dollars), in each case first to repay or prepay the outstanding ABR Borrowings of such Loans and second to repay or prepay the remaining Borrowings of such Loans denominated in Dollars in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid or prepaid first). Each payment of a Borrowing of a Class shall be applied ratably to the Loans of such Class included in such Borrowing (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11(b)).

(c) Maintenance of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts and Currency of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(d) Maintenance of Records by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the amount and Currency of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount and Currency of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender of such Class hereunder and (iii) the amount and Currency of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(e) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(f) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its permitted registered assigns) and substantially in a form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its permitted registered assigns).

Section 2.08. Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time (but subject to Section 2.08(f)) to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or fee (but subject to Section 2.13), subject to the requirements of this Section. Each prepayment in part under this Section 2.08(a) shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, with respect to any Agreed Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent thereof (or such lesser amount as is then outstanding).

(b) Mandatory Prepayments Due to Changes in Exchange Rates.

(i) Determination of Amount Outstanding. On each Quarterly Date and, in addition, promptly upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Currency Valuation Notice (as defined below), the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure. For the purpose of this determination, the outstanding principal amount of any Loan or LC Exposure that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount in the Foreign Currency of such Loan or LC Exposure, determined as of such Quarterly Date or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, on such Business Day or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice otherwise received, on the first Business Day after such Currency Valuation Notice is received. Upon making such determination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Multicurrency Lenders and the Borrower thereof.

(ii) Prepayment. If on the date of such determination the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure minus the Cash Collateralized LC Exposure exceeds 105% of the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Commitments as then in effect, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days of the Administrative Agent’s notice to the Borrower of such excess) prepay the Multicurrency Loans (and/or Cash Collateralize LC Exposure contemplated by Section 2.18(k)) in such amounts as shall be necessary so that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure does not exceed the Multicurrency Commitments. Any prepayment made pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied first to the Multicurrency Loans outstanding and second, as cover for LC Exposure.

For purposes hereof, “Currency Valuation Notice” means a notice given by the Required Multicurrency Lenders to the Administrative Agent stating that such notice is a “Currency Valuation Notice” and requesting that the Administrative Agent determine the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure shall be determined on each Quarterly Date pursuant to this Section 2.08(b) regardless of receipt of any Currency Valuation Notice during such period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Required Multicurrency Lenders shall not deliver to the Administrative Agent a Currency Valuation Notice, and the Administrative Agent shall not make more than one valuation determination pursuant to a Currency Valuation Notices, within any rolling three month period.

(c) Mandatory Prepayments due to Excess Revolving Credit Exposure and Borrowing Base Deficiency. In the event that (i) the amount of total Revolving Dollar Credit Exposure exceeds the total Dollar Commitments and/or (ii) the amount of total Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure exceeds the total Multicurrency Commitments (other than as a result of a change in exchange rates pursuant to Section 2.08(b)), in each case, including (without limitation) as a result of an Exclusion Event that occurs any time on or prior to the Commitment Period Expiration Date, the Borrower shall prepay Loans in such amounts as shall be necessary so that (x) in the case of clause (i), the amount of total Revolving Dollar Credit Exposure does not exceed the total Dollar Commitments and (y) in the case of clause (ii), the amount of total Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure does not exceed the total Multicurrency Commitments. In the event that at any time any Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist, promptly (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans (and/or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit as contemplated by Section 2.18(k)) so that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is promptly cured (such prepayment to be applied ratably between the Dollar Lenders and the Multicurrency Lenders based on the aggregate outstanding Dollar Equivalent principal amounts of such Loans (and Letters of Credit) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in the applicable Currency or Currencies)); provided that if (A) within three (3) Business Days after any such Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent one or more executed Capital Call Notices in an aggregate amount sufficient to remedy such Borrowing Base Deficiency, then such prepayment or reduction shall be effected within ten (10) days of the earliest date of such Capital Call Notices (or such later date permitted by the applicable Subscription Documents, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the earliest date of such Capital Call Notices), or (B) if the remaining Unfunded Capital Commitments are insufficient to remedy such Borrowing Base Deficiency and the Borrower within five (5) Business Days after any such Borrowing Base Deficiency shall present to the Administrative Agent a reasonably feasible plan, which plan is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that will enable any such Borrowing Base Deficiency to be cured within 30 Business Days of the occurrence of such Borrowing Base Deficiency (which 30-Business Day period shall include the five (5) Business Days permitted for delivery of such plan), then such prepayment or reduction shall be effected in accordance with such plan (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such prepayments shall be applied as set forth above in this Section 2.08(c)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay interest in accordance with Section 2.10(e) for so long as the Covered Debt Amount exceeds the Borrowing Base during such applicable period. For clarity, in the event that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is not cured prior to the end of any applicable period, it shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a).

(d) Mandatory Prepayments due to Certain Events. Subject to Section 2.08(f):

(i) Asset Sales. In the event that any Loan Party shall receive any Net Asset Sale Proceeds at any time after the Availability Period, the Borrower shall, no later than the third (3^rd) Business Day following the receipt of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds (and the Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount); provided that, with respect to Asset Sales of assets that are not Eligible Portfolio Investments, the Borrowers shall not be required to prepay the Loans unless and until (and to the extent that) the aggregate Net Asset Sale Proceeds relating to all such Asset Sales are greater than $2,000,000.

(ii) Insurance and Condemnation Awards. In the event (but only to the extent) that the aggregate amount of all Insurance and Condemnation Awards received by the Loan Parties at any time after the Availability Period exceeds $2,000,000, the Borrower shall, no later than the third (3^rd) Business Day following the receipt of such excess Insurance and Condemnation Awards, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such excess Insurance and Condemnation Awards (and the Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount).

(iii) Returns of Capital. In the event that any Loan Party shall receive any Net Return of Capital at any time after the Availability Period, the Borrower shall, no later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the receipt of such Net Return of Capital, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Return of Capital (and the Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount).

(iv) Equity Issuances. In the event that the Borrower shall receive any Cash or Cash Equivalents from the issuance of Equity Interests of the Borrower (other than, assuming no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in connection with (A) completing Portfolio Investments (including satisfying the Borrower’s capital contributions or other obligations with respect to Portfolio Investments) committed to prior to the Revolver Termination Date, (B) funding follow-on or protective investments and (C) paying corporate obligations or expenses), at any time after the Availability Period, the Borrower shall, no later than the third (3^rd) Business Day following the receipt of such cash proceeds, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Cash or Cash Equivalents, net of underwriting discounts and commissions or other similar payments and other costs, fees, commissions, premiums and expenses directly associated therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses (and the Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount).

(e) Mandatory Prepayment of SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans. If the Loans to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.08(d)(ii) or (iii) are SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, the Borrower may defer such prepayment (and permanent Commitment reduction) until the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loans, so long as the Borrower deposits an amount equal to an amount required to be prepaid, no later than the third (3^rd) Business Day following the receipt of such amount, into a segregated collateral account in the name and under the dominion and control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the Uniform Commercial Code) of the Administrative Agent pending application of such amount to the prepayment of the Loans (and permanent reduction of the Commitments) on the last day of such Interest Period.

(f) Notices, Etc. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing or by telephone (followed promptly by written confirmation) of any repayment or prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of a repayment or prepayment of a SOFR Borrowing under Section 2.08(a), not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of repayment or prepayment, as applicable (or, in the case of repayment, such shorter period approved by the Administrative Agent in its discretion), (ii) in the case of a prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing under Section 2.08(a), not later than 3:00 p.m., Local Time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of a prepayment of a RFR Borrowing under Section 2.08(a), not later than 3:00 p.m., Local Time, five (5) Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (iv) in the case of repayment or prepayment of an ABR Borrowing under Section 2.08(a), or any prepayment under Section 2.08(b), (c) or (d), not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of repayment or prepayment, as applicable (or, in the case of repayment, such shorter period approved by the Administrative Agent in its discretion). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the repayment or prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be repaid or prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided, that, (1) if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination or reduction of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.06(c), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination or reduction is revoked in accordance with Section 2.06(c) and (2) any such notices given in connection with any of the events specified in Section 2.08(d) may be conditioned upon (x) the consummation of the Asset Sale or the issuance of Equity Interests, as applicable, or (y) the receipt of net cash proceeds from Insurance and Condemnation Awards or Net Return of Capital. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Subject to clauses (b), (c) and (e) of this Section, Section 2.07(b) and to the proviso to Section 2.15(c), each repayment or prepayment in Dollars shall be applied ratably between the Dollar Lenders and the Multicurrency Lenders based on the then outstanding Loans denominated in Dollars and each repayment or prepayment in an Agreed Foreign Currency (including as a result of a Loan Party’s receipt of proceeds from a repayment or prepayment event in an Agreed Foreign Currency) shall be applied ratably among the Multicurrency Lenders. In the event the Borrower is required to make any concurrent repayments or prepayments under both paragraph (c) and also another paragraph of this Section 2.08, any such repayments or prepayments shall be applied toward a repayment or prepayment pursuant to paragraph (c) before any repayment or prepayment pursuant to any other paragraph of this Section 2.08. Repayments or prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10 and shall be made in the manner specified in Section 2.07(b).

(g) Payments Following Availability Period or During an Event of Default. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Section 2.07 or this Section 2.08 (but subject to the fourth sentence of Section 2.08(f)), following the end of the Availability Period or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) No optional prepayment of the Loans made of any Class shall be permitted unless at such time, the Borrower also prepays its Loans of the other Class or, in the case of a prepayment of Dollar Loans and to the extent no Multicurrency Loans are outstanding, provides Cash Collateral as contemplated by Section 2.18(k) for the outstanding Letters of Credit, which prepayment (and Cash Collateral) shall be made on a pro-rata basis (based on the outstanding principal amounts of such Indebtedness) between each outstanding Class of Credit Exposure; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, during the Availability Period, no partial prepayment of the Loans shall be prohibited pursuant to this Section 2.08(g).

(ii) Any prepayment of Loans in Dollars required to be made in connection with any of the events specified in Section 2.08(d) shall be applied ratably between the Dollar Lenders and the Multicurrency Lenders based on the then outstanding principal amounts of Loans denominated in Dollars; provided that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each prepayment in an Agreed Foreign Currency (including as a result of the Borrower’s receipt of proceeds from a prepayment event in such Agreed Foreign Currency (it being the understanding that any receipt of proceeds in an Agreed Foreign Currency shall first be used to make a payment on account of the Loans denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency)) shall be applied ratably among just the Multicurrency Lenders to prepay the Loans denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency and, if after such payment, if applicable, or otherwise, the balance of the Loans denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency remaining is zero (0), then, if there are any remaining proceeds, the Borrower shall prepay (in Dollars) the remaining Loans on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding Dollar Equivalent principal amount of such Loans) between each outstanding Class of Loans.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then any payment or repayment of the Loans shall be made in Dollars and applied ratably (based on the aggregate outstanding Dollar Equivalent principal amounts of such Loans) between Dollar Loans, Multicurrency Loans and Letters of Credit.

(h) RIC Tax Distributions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Net Asset Sale Proceeds and net Returns of Capital required to be applied to the prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(d) shall exclude the amounts estimated in good faith by the Borrower to be necessary for the Borrower to make distributions on account of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds and net Returns of Capital sufficient in amount to achieve the objectives set forth in (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 6.05(b)(1) hereof solely to the extent that the Tax Amount in or with respect to any taxable year (or any calendar year, as relevant) is increased as a result of the receipt of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds or Net Return of Capital, as the case may be.

Section 2.09. Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue (i) during the first six (6) months following the Effective Date, at a rate equal to 0.375% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender as of the close of business on such day; and (ii) at all other times until the Revolver Termination Date, at a rate equal to (x) 0.75% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender as of the close of business on such day if the daily used amount as of the close of business on such day is less than or equal to 35% of such Lender’s Commitment and (y) 0.50% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender as of the close of business on such day if the daily used amount as of the close of business on such day is greater than 35%. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears (x) within one (1) Business Day after each Quarterly Date and (y) on the earlier of the date the applicable Lender’s Commitments terminate and the Revolver Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that, with respect to any commitment fee due pursuant to clause (x), the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to provide the Borrower with an invoice setting forth the amount of such commitment fee on or prior to such Quarterly Date (which invoice shall be subject to change or adjustment by the Administrative Agent at any time); provided further that, the Administrative Agent’s failure to provide such invoice shall not in any way affect the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.09(a) to pay such commitment fee when payable and the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the failure to provide such invoice. The amount of commitment fees set forth in any invoice delivered by the Administrative Agent (as such invoice is changed or adjusted by the Administrative Agent) as of any Quarterly Date shall be conclusive absent manifest error. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, the Commitments of any Class of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Loans of such Class and LC Exposure of such Class of all Lenders.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Multicurrency Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin applicable to interest on SOFR Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Multicurrency Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including each Quarterly Date shall be payable on the third Business Day following such Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees with respect to the Letters of Credit shall be payable on the earlier of the Revolver Termination Date and the date on which all Multicurrency Commitments are otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms hereof (such earlier date, the “termination date”) and the Borrower shall pay any such fees that have accrued and that are unpaid on the termination date and, in the event any Letters of Credit shall be outstanding that have expiration dates after the termination date, the Borrower shall prepay on the termination date the full amount of the participation and fronting fees that will accrue on such Letters of Credit subsequent to the termination date through but not including the date such outstanding Letters of Credit are scheduled to expire (and in that connection, the Multicurrency Lenders agree not later than the date two (2) Business Days after the date on which the last such Letter of Credit shall expire or be terminated to rebate the Borrower the excess, if any, of the aggregate participation and fronting fees that ultimately accrue through the date of such expiration or termination). Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days after written demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances absent manifest error. Any fees representing the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations of expenses, to the extent requirements of invoice are not otherwise specified in this Agreement, shall be due (subject to the other terms and conditions contained herein) within ten (10) Business Days of the date that the Borrower receives from the Administrative Agent an invoice for such reimbursement obligations. On the Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses outstanding on such date and required to be paid pursuant to Section 9.03(a)(i).

Section 2.10. Interest.

(a) ABR Loans. The Loans constituting each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) SOFR Loans. The Loans constituting each SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted Term SOFR for the related Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Eurocurrency Loans. The Loans constituting each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for the related Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(d) RFR Loans. The Loans constituting each RFR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted Daily Simple RFR plus the Applicable Margin.

(e) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (w) if any Event of Default described in Section 7.01(a), (b), (d) (only with respect to Section 5.23 and 6.07), (h), (i) or (j) has occurred and is continuing, (x) on demand of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders if any other Event of Default described in any other clause of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing, or (y) if the Covered Debt Amount exceeds the Borrowing Base during any applicable cure period referred to in Section 2.08(c), the interest applicable to the Loans shall accrue, and any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above, or (ii) in the case of any fee or other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(f) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan in the Currency in which such Loan is denominated and upon termination in full of the Commitments; provided that, the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to provide the Borrower, on or prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date, with an invoice setting forth the amount of interest owed on such Interest Payment Date (which invoice shall be subject to change or adjustment by the Administrative Agent at any time); provided further that, the Administrative Agent’s failure to provide such invoice shall not in any way affect the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.10(f) to pay the full amount of such interest payment on the Interest Payment Date and the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the failure to provide such invoice; provided further that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the Maturity Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any SOFR Borrowing or Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. The amount of interest owed as set forth in any invoice delivered by the Administrative Agent (as such invoice is changed or adjusted by the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(g) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that (a) RFR Borrowings shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day), (b) interest on Eurocurrency Borrowings in Canadian Dollars and ABR Borrowings when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and (c) the basis on which interest hereunder shall be computed on Eurocurrency Borrowings in an Agreed Foreign Currency (other than Euros or Canadian Dollars) shall be agreed by each Multicurrency Lender and the Borrower at the time such Agreed Foreign Currency is consented to in accordance with the definition thereof, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The Alternate Base Rate, the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, Adjusted Daily Simple RFR or Adjusted Term SOFR, as applicable, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(h) Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, 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 Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

Section 2.11. Certain Borrowing Provisions; Benchmark Replacement.

(a) Alternate Rate of Interest. If (x) prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing or SOFR Borrowing or (y) at any time for any RFR Borrowing (the Currency of such Borrowing herein, the “Affected Currency”)

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Benchmark for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period (if applicable) (including because the relevant Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis); or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of such Class that the Benchmark for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Loans, SOFR Loans or RFR Loans, as applicable, included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period (if applicable);

and, in each case, the provisions of Section 2.11(c) are not applicable, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or e-mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any obligation of such Lender (x) to make RFR Borrowings, (y) to make or continue Eurocurrency Borrowings or SOFR Borrowings or (z) to convert ABR Borrowings to SOFR Borrowings shall be suspended, (ii) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Eurocurrency Borrowing or SOFR Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Eurocurrency Borrowing or SOFR Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing or SOFR Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective and, in each case, unless prepaid, (x) if the Affected Currency is Dollars, such Borrowing shall be continued as, or converted to, an ABR Borrowing and (y) if the Affected Currency is a Foreign Currency (other than Canadian Dollars), such Borrowing shall be converted to Dollars based on the Dollar Equivalent at such time and shall be an ABR Borrowing and if the Affected Currency is Canadian Dollars, such Borrowing shall be continued as, or converted to, a Borrowing based on the Canadian Prime Rate, (iii) if the Affected Currency is Dollars, any Borrowing Request that requests a SOFR Borrowing shall be deemed to have requested an ABR Borrowing, (iv) if the Affected Currency is a Foreign Currency (other than Canadian Dollars), any Borrowing Request that requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing or RFR Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective and (v) if the Affected Currency is Canadian Dollars, any Borrowing Request that requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be made as a Borrowing at the Canadian Prime Rate.

If any Term SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.12(a), such Term SOFR Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such SOFR Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars on such day.

If any Eurocurrency Loan in any Currency is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.12(a) with respect to the Benchmark applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan, such Eurocurrency Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, at the Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid on such day or (B)(x) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Currencies other than Canadian Dollars, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and (subject to the remainder of this subclause (B)) shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Loan) on such day (it being understood and agreed that if the Borrower does not so prepay such Loan on such day by 12:00 noon, New York City time, the Administrative Agent is authorized to effect such conversion of such Eurocurrency Loan into an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars), and, in the case of this subclause (B), upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to the aforementioned notice no longer exist and with the Borrower’s consent (which may be given in its sole discretion), such ABR Loan denominated in Dollars shall then be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in such original Currency (in an amount equal to the Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Loan) on the day of such notice being given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent and (y) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and (subject to the remainder of this subclause (B)) shall constitute, a Eurocurrency Loan where the Eurocurrency Rate is equal to the Canadian Prime Rate on such day (it being understood and agreed that if the Borrower does not so prepay such Loan on such day by 12:00 noon, New York City time, the Administrative Agent is authorized to effect such conversion of such Eurocurrency Loan into a Eurocurrency Loan for which the Relevant Rate shall be equal to the Canadian Prime Rate), and, in the case of this subclause (B), upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to the aforementioned notice no longer exist and with the Borrower’s consent (which may be given in its sole discretion), such a Eurocurrency Loan for which the Relevant Rate shall be equal to the Canadian Prime Rate shall then be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute a Eurocurrency Loan equal to the CDOR Rate on the day of such notice being given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent.

If any RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.11(a) with respect to the Daily Simple RFR applicable to such RFR Loan, then such Loan shall, at the Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid on such day or (B) be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and (subject to the remainder of this subclause (B)) shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Loan) on such day (it being understood and agreed that if the Borrower does not so prepay such Loan on such day by 12:00 noon, New York City time, the Administrative Agent is authorized to effect such conversion of such RFR Loan into an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars), and, in the case of this subclause (B), upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to the aforementioned notice no longer exist and with the Borrower’s consent (which may be given in its sole discretion), such ABR Loan denominated in Dollars shall then be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an RFR Loan (in an amount equal to the Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Loan) on the day of such notice being given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent.

If the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Adjusted Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the applicable definition thereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, as applicable, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.13.

(b) Illegality. Without duplication of any other rights that any Lender has hereunder, if any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to any Benchmark, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any Benchmark, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, any Currency in the applicable market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to (x) make RFR Loans in the affected currency or currencies, (y) make or continue SOFR Borrowings or Eurocurrency Borrowings in the affected currency or currencies, or (z) in the case of SOFR Borrowings, to convert ABR Borrowings to SOFR Borrowings shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or continuing ABR Borrowings the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Borrowings of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such Lender revokes such notice and advises the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x)(A) all SOFR Borrowings denominated in Dollars of such Lender shall automatically convert to ABR Borrowings and (B) all RFR Borrowings and Eurocurrency Borrowings denominated in the affected Agreed Foreign Currency of such Lender shall automatically convert to Dollars based on the Dollar Equivalent at such time and shall be an ABR Borrowing (the interest rate on which ABR Borrowings of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate), (1) with respect to SOFR Borrowings or Eurocurrency Borrowings, either (I) on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Borrowing or Eurocurrency Borrowings to such day or (2) with respect to RFR Borrowings, on the immediately succeeding Business Day, or (II) immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Borrowings or Eurocurrency Borrowings (it being understood that, in each case, Borrower shall not be required to pay any yield maintenance, breakage or similar fees) and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon Adjusted Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon Adjusted Term SOFR. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted.

(i) Replacing Term SOFR Loans. With respect to SOFR Loans, upon the earlier of (x) the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and (y) the Early Opt-in Effective Date, the Benchmark Replacement described under clause (1) thereof will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

(ii) Replacing Other Loans and Future Benchmarks. For Eurocurrency Loans, RFR Loans or Loans utilizing any future Benchmark (including Daily Simple SOFR), on the earlier of (x) the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and (y) the date written notice of an Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Benchmark Replacement described under clause (2) thereof will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) 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.

(iii) At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, (x) the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a SOFR Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans, (y) any request by the Borrower for a Eurocurrency Borrowing in an Agreed Foreign Currency (other than Canadian Dollars) shall be ineffective or (z) any request by the Borrower for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be converted to a Eurocurrency Borrowing at the Canadian Prime Rate. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, (a) the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate and (b) if any Loan in any Currency is outstanding, (x) if such Loan is a SOFR Loan, then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, at the Borrower’s election prior to such day: (1) be prepaid by the Borrower on such day or (2) be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars on such date, (y) if such Loan is an RFR Loan or a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in any Agreed Foreign Currency (other than Canadian Dollars), then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, at the Borrower’s election prior to such day: (1) be prepaid by the Borrower on such day or (2) be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and (subject to the remainder of this subclause (2)) shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Loan) on such day (it being understood and agreed that if the Borrower does not so prepay such Loan on such day by 12:00 noon, New York City time, the Administrative Agent is authorized to effect such conversion of such Eurocurrency Loan into an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars) and, in the case of this subclause (2), upon any subsequent implementation of a Benchmark Replacement in respect of such Agreed Foreign Currency pursuant to this Section 2.12(d) and with the Borrower’s consent (which may be given in its sole discretion), such ABR Loan denominated in Dollars shall then be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an RFR Loan or a Eurocurrency Loan, as applicable, denominated in such original Currency (in an amount equal to the Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Loan) on the day of such implementation, giving effect to such Benchmark Replacement in respect of such Foreign Currency or (z) if such Loan is a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars, then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, at the Borrower’s election prior to such day: (1) be prepaid by the Borrower on such day or (2) be converted by the Administrative Agent to a Eurocurrency Loan where the Eurocurrency Rate shall be equal to the Canadian Prime Rate.

(iv) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, implementation, adoption or administration of a Benchmark Replacement (or, with respect to Term SOFR or Daily Simple RFR, at any time), 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 Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(v) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (w) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, (x) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (y) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (z) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (vi) below. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.11(d), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.11(d).

(vi) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (x) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (y) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings if such Benchmark (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) settings.

(vii) Tax Matters. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower agree to cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy any applicable requirements under proposed or final United States Treasury Regulations or other IRS guidance such that the use of an alternative rate of interest pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall not result in a deemed exchange of any Loan or Obligation under Section 1001 of the Code.

Section 2.12. Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate);

(ii) subject any Lender or Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than Covered Taxes and Taxes described in clauses (a)(ii), (c), (d) and (e) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or SOFR Loans, RFR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lenders of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any SOFR Loan, RFR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, upon the request of such Lender or Issuing Bank, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that no Lender will claim from the Borrower the payment of any of the amounts referred to in this paragraph (a) if not generally claiming similar compensation from its other similar customers in similar circumstances.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any (or would have the effect of reducing the liquidity of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any), as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity position), by an amount deemed to be material by such Lender or Issuing Bank, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank, setting forth (in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of) the amount or amounts, in Dollars, necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be promptly delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error (it being understood that no Lender shall be required to disclose (i) any confidential or price sensitive information or (ii) any information to the extent prohibited by applicable law). The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Obligor shall be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower in writing of any such Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 2.13. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.08(f) and is revoked in accordance herewith), (d) the assignment as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17(b) of any SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor or (e) the conversion of Loans not denominated in Dollars into, or the redenomination in, Dollars other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including, without limitation, pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.15(a), a CAM Exchange or otherwise), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each affected Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of:

(i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan referred to in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 2.13 denominated in the Currency of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to Adjusted Term SOFR or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Currency for such Interest Period, over

(ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an Affiliate of such Lender) for deposits denominated in such Currency from other banks in the applicable interbank market (or, in the case of any Agreed Foreign Currency, in the relevant market for such Agreed Foreign Currency) at the commencement of such period.

Payments under this Section shall be made upon written request of a Lender to the Borrower delivered not later than five (5) Business Days following the payment, conversion, or failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay that gives rise to a claim under this Section accompanied by a written certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section (provided that such Lender shall not be required to disclose any confidential or pricing information or any other information prohibited to be disclosed by applicable law), which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.14. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, unless otherwise required by applicable law; provided that if an applicable Withholding Agent shall be required to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments (as determined in the good faith discretion of such Withholding Agent), then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deductions or withholdings, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (iii) if such Tax is a Covered Tax, the sum payable by the Loan Parties shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14)��the Administrative Agent, Lender or the Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify, on a joint and several basis, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank for and, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, pay the full amount of any Covered Taxes (including Covered Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Covered Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation and explanation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, by the Issuing Bank or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.14(a) or (c), each Lender shall, and does hereby, agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, (i) against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) (collectively, “Tax Damages”) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective) and (ii) Tax Damages attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation and explanation of 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations.

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.14, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or 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 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 Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.14(f)(ii)(A) or (B) or Section 2.14(g) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if 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 prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of 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) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but, in any event, only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so) whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, duly completed executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or any successor form establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty,

(2)

duly completed executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor form certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States,

(3)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (I) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (II) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (III) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form), certifying that the Foreign Lender is not a U.S. Person, or

(4)

to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, duly completed executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a certificate substantially similar to the certificate described in Section 2.14(f)(ii)(B)(3)(x) above, IRS Form W-9 and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable.

(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 prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), 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.

(g) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement 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 Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties 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 to deduct and withhold from any such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered under this Agreement 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) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank 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 by the Loan Parties or with respect to which the Loan Parties have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay to the applicable Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Parties under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Parties, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the applicable Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the Administrative Agent, any Lender of the Issuing Bank be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank in a less favorable net position after-Taxes than the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank 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 (h) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to make available its Tax returns or its books or records (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.14, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

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

Section 2.15. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment: Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, reimbursement of LC Disbursements or under Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document prior to 3:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off, deduction or counterclaim, except as provided in Section 2.14. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Loan Document and except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

All amounts owing under this Agreement (including commitment fees, payments required under Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 relating to any Loan denominated in Dollars, but not including principal of and interest on any Loan denominated in any Foreign Currency or payments relating to any such Loan required under Section 2.14 or any reimbursement or cash collateralization of any LC Exposure denominated in any Foreign Currency, which are payable and shall be paid in such Foreign Currency) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) are payable and shall be paid in Dollars. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan or LC Disbursements when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), the unpaid portion of such Loan or LC Disbursement shall, if such Loan or LC Disbursement is not denominated in Dollars, automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the due date thereof (or, if such due date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such principal shall be payable on demand and if the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan or LC Disbursement that is not denominated in Dollars when due and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of five (5) or more Business Days, such interest shall automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the due date therefor (or, if such due date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such interest shall be payable on demand.

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees of a Class then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees of such Class then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees of such Class then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements of such Class then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements of such Class then due to such parties.

(c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing of a Class shall be made from the Lenders of such Class, each payment of a commitment fee under Section 2.09 shall be made for the account of the Lenders of the applicable Class, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a Class under Section 2.06, Section 2.08 or otherwise shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders of such Class, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) each Borrowing of a Class shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders of such Class according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.07 and 2.08; and (iv) each payment of interest on Loans by the Borrower shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.07, 2.08 and 2.10; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Borrower wishes to make a Multicurrency Borrowing in an Agreed Foreign Currency and the Multicurrency Commitments are fully utilized, the Borrower may make a Borrowing under the Dollar Commitments (if otherwise permitted hereunder) and may use the proceeds of such Borrowing to prepay the Multicurrency Loans (without making a ratable prepayment to the Dollar Loans) solely to the extent that the Borrower substantially concurrently therewith utilize any Multicurrency Commitments made available as a result of such prepayment to make a Multicurrency Borrowing in an Agreed Foreign Currency.

(d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender of a Class shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements of such Class, resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, and accrued interest thereon of such Class then due than the proportion received by any other Lender of such Class, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders of such Class to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of such Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of such Class (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to Section 2.08(g)(iii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing); provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiaries or Affiliates thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(e) Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.15(e) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.16. Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) commitment fees pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender to the extent, and during the period, such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such commitment fee that otherwise would have accrued and been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender to the extent and during the period in which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender); and

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, two-thirds of the Lenders, two-thirds of the Lenders of a Class, the Required Lenders or the Required Lenders of a Class have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02, except for any amendment or waiver described in Section 9.02(b)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv)); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders, two-thirds of the Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other Lenders or affected Lenders (as applicable) shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(i) all of any part of such LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Multicurrency Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Multicurrency Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Multicurrency Commitments, (y) no non-Defaulting Lender’s Multicurrency Credit Exposure will exceed such Lender’s Multicurrency Commitment and (z) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time (and unless the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time);

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, within three (3) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.18(k) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.09(a) and Section 2.09(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Multicurrency Lenders’ Applicable Multicurrency Percentages in effect after giving effect to such reallocation;

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.16(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.09(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and

(vi) subject to Section 9.16, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(d) So Long as any Multicurrency Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Multicurrency Commitments of the non-Defaulting Multicurrency Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.16(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.16(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender that is a Dollar Lender has adequately remedied all matters that cause such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then, on the date of such agreement, such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans made to the Borrower of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for the Lenders to held Loans in accordance with their applicable Dollar Percentage in effect immediately after giving effect to such agreement; in the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Issuing Bank each agrees in writing that a Defaulting Lender that is a Multicurrency Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then, on the date of such agreement the Lender shall no longer be deemed a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall no longer be required to cash collateralize any portion of such Lender’s LC Exposure cash collateralized pursuant to Section 2.16(c)(ii) above, the LC Exposure of the Multicurrency Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Multicurrency Commitment and, such Lender shall purchase at par the portion of the Loans of the other Multicurrency Lenders and take such other actions as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Multicurrency Percentage in effect immediately after giving effect to such agreement, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7.01 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender, will be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if: (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share; and (y) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment will be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Exposures hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 are hereby deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

Section 2.17. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending or Issuing Office. If any Lender or Issuing Bank exercises its rights under Section 2.11(b), requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Loan Parties are required to pay any Covered Taxes or additional amount to any Lender, any Issuing Bank, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the circumstance giving rise to such Lender or Issuing Bank exercising its rights under Section 2.11(b) and (ii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders or Issuing Banks. If any Lender or Issuing Bank exercises its rights under Section 2.11(b) or requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Loan Parties are required to pay any Covered Taxes or additional amount to any Lender, any Issuing Bank, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.14 and, in each case, such Lender or Issuing Bank has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.17(a), or if any Lender or Issuing Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender or Issuing Bank becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender or Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or Issuing Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.14) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have received, as applicable, payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) including, in the case of any Issuing Bank, that all Letters of Credit shall have (w) expired, (x) terminated, (y) been Cash Collateralized or (z) otherwise been backstopped in a manner acceptable to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent in their sole discretion and, in each case, all LC Disbursements then outstanding have been reimbursed, (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(c) Defaulting Lenders. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.15(e) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.17 to the contrary, (i) any Lender that acts as an Issuing Bank may not be replaced as an Issuing Bank hereunder at any time it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements satisfactory to such Lender (including the furnishing of a back-stop standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit and (ii) the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 8.06.

Section 2.18. Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Loans provided in Section 2.01, the Borrower may request the Issuing Bank to issue, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period and under the Multicurrency Commitments, Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for its own account or for the account of its designee (provided the Obligors shall remain primarily liable to the Lenders hereunder for payment and reimbursement of all amounts payable in respect of such Letter of Credit hereunder) for the purposes set forth in Section 5.09 in such form as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its reasonable determination and for the benefit of such named beneficiary or beneficiaries as are specified by the Borrower. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Multicurrency Commitments up to the aggregate amount then available to be drawn thereunder.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal or Extension. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (d) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, stating that such Letter of Credit is to be issued under the Multicurrency Commitments, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify all Multicurrency Lenders following the issuance of any Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall also submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(c) Limitations on Amounts. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that) after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (for purposes of this clause (c), the aggregate LC Exposure (including as a component of the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure) shall be determined without giving effect to the participations therein of the Lenders pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section), (i) the aggregate LC Exposure of the Issuing Bank shall not exceed $25,000,000, (ii) the total Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate Multicurrency Commitment, (iii) the Issuing Bank’s Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure shall not exceed its Commitment and (iv) the total Covered Debt Amount shall not exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect.

(d) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the date twelve months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, twelve months after the then-current expiration date of such Letter of Credit, so long as such renewal or extension occurs within three months of such then-current expiration date); provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide (pursuant to customary “evergreen” provisions) for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods; provided, further, that (x) in no event shall any Letter of Credit have an expiration date that is later than the Revolver Termination Date unless the Borrower (1) Cash Collateralizes such Letter of Credit on or prior to the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Revolver Termination Date (by reference to the undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit) that will remain outstanding as of the close of business on the Revolver Termination Date and (2) pays in full, on or prior to the Revolver Termination Date, all commissions required to be paid with respect to any such Letter of Credit through the then-current expiration date of such Letter of Credit and (y) no Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date after the Maturity Date.

(e) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by the Issuing Bank, and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Multicurrency Lender, and each Multicurrency Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Multicurrency Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, provided that no Multicurrency Lender shall be required to purchase a participation in a Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.18(e) if (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 would not be satisfied in respect of a Borrowing at the time such Letter of Credit was issued and (y) the Required Multicurrency Lenders shall have so notified the Issuing Bank in writing and shall not have subsequently determined that the circumstances giving rise to such conditions not being satisfied no longer exist.

In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Multicurrency Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Multicurrency Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank in respect of Letters of Credit promptly upon the request of the Issuing Bank at any time from the time of such LC Disbursement until such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by the Borrower or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Multicurrency Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Multicurrency Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to paragraph (f), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Multicurrency Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Multicurrency Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank in respect of such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time, provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with a Term SOFR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing having an Interest Period of one month’s duration of either Class in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Term SOFR Borrowing or Eurocurrency Borrowing having an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Multicurrency Percentage thereof.

(g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, or any of their respective Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the Issuing Bank or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that:

(i) the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(ii) the Issuing Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(iii) this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by the Issuing Bank when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing).

(h) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by email) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(i) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Term SOFR Loans having an Interest Period of one month’s duration (or, if such LC Disbursement is denominated in an Agreed Foreign Currency (other than Pounds Sterling), the rate per annum then applicable to a Eurocurrency Loan having an Interest Period of one month’s duration for the applicable Currency or, if such LC Disbursement is denominated in Pounds Sterling, the rate per annum then applicable to RFR Loans); provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement within two Business Days following the date when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, then the provisions of Section 2.10(e) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(j) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. In addition to the foregoing, if a Lender becomes, and during the period in which it remains, a Defaulting Lender, and any Default has arisen from a failure of the Borrower to comply with Section 2.16(c), then the Issuing Bank may, upon prior written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, resign as Issuing Bank, effective at the close of business New York City time on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice). On or after the effective date of any such resignation, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, by written agreement, appoint a successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement under any of the foregoing circumstances shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.09(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(k) Cash Collateralization. If the Borrower shall be required or shall elect, as the case may be, to provide cover for LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.08(b), Section 2.16(c)(ii), Section 2.18(d) or the last paragraph of Section 7.01, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize such LC Exposure. Such Cash Collateral shall be held by the Administrative Agent in the first instance as collateral for LC Exposure under this Agreement and thereafter for the payment of the “Secured Obligations” as defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement, and for these purposes the Borrower hereby grants a security interest to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and in any financial assets (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) or other property held therein.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and the other Loan Documents to which any Loan Party is a party have been or will be duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party, as applicable. This Agreement constitutes, and each of the other Loan Documents to which any Loan Party is a party when executed and delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (b) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Section 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except for (i) such as have been or will be obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) filings and recordings in respect of the Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents, (b) will not violate (i) any applicable law or regulation in any material respect or (ii) the Constituent Documents, Subscription Documents or any order of any Governmental Authority (including the Investment Company Act and the rules, regulations and orders issued by the SEC thereunder), (c) will not violate or result in a default in any material respect under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any Company or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any such Person, and (d) except for the Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents, will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Company.

Section 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Financial Statements.

(i) On the Effective Date, immediately after giving effect to the Transactions on the Effective Date, no Company has any material contingent liabilities (other than the Redwood Notes), material liabilities for taxes, material unusual forward or material long-term commitments or material unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments.

(ii) The financial statements delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) and 5.01(b) present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position, assets and liabilities, results of operations, changes in net assets, cash flows and investments of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the end of and for the applicable period in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis, subject, in the case of unaudited financial statements, to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes. As of the end of the period covered by the most recent financial statement referred to in this paragraph (ii), no Company has any material contingent liabilities, material liabilities for taxes, material unusual forward or material long-term commitments or material unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments not reflected in the financial statements referred to above.

(b) No Material Adverse Effect. Since the Effective Date or the date of the most recent annual financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a), there has not been any event, development or circumstance that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.05. Litigation. There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority now pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting any Company (a) that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (b) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.

Section 3.06. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each Company is in compliance with all laws, rules, regulations, including the Investment Company Act (if applicable to such Person) and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it (including rules, regulations and orders issued by the SEC) or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Company is subject to any contract or other arrangement, the performance of which by such Company could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Company is in default in any manner under any provision of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is or may be bound, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default, in each case where such default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.07. Taxes. Each Company has timely filed or has caused to be timely filed all U.S. federal, state and local income Tax returns that are required to be filed by it and all other material Tax returns that are required to be filed by it and has paid all material Taxes for which it is directly or indirectly liable and any material assessments made against it or any of its property and all other material Taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority, except such Taxes, fees or other charges the amount or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the applicable Company. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of any Company in respect of Taxes and other governmental charges are adequate in accordance with GAAP. No Company has given or been requested to give a waiver of the statute of limitations relating to the payment of any federal, state, local and foreign Taxes or other impositions, and no Tax lien (other than Liens permitted pursuant to clause (1)(a) or (2)(a) of the definition of Permitted Liens) has been filed with respect to Company. There is no proposed Tax assessment against any Company, and to the knowledge of the Borrower, there is no basis for any such assessment for any material amount of Taxes.

Section 3.08. ERISA.

(a) Each Plan and each Borrower Benefit Plan is in compliance in form and operation with its terms and with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code (including without limitation the Code provisions compliance with which is necessary for any intended favorable tax treatment) and all other applicable laws and regulations, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party or ERISA Affiliate has established, maintains, contributes to, or has any liability (contingent or otherwise) with respect to, any Plan that could reasonably be expected to result in liability of the Loan Party in an aggregate amount exceeding $2,500,000. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, alone or together with any other ERISA Event that has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in liability of the Loan Party in an aggregate amount exceeding $2,500,000.

(b) (x) With respect to Plans maintained by the Companies, there exists no Unfunded Pension Liability in the aggregate (taking into account only such Plans with positive Unfunded Pension Liability) in excess of $2,500,000, and (y) with respect to Plans maintained by the Companies or their ERISA Affiliates, there exists no Unfunded Pension Liability in an aggregate amount (taking into account only such Plans with positive Unfunded Pension Liability) that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (and in no event do the Companies have actual knowledge of such Unfunded Pension Liability in excess of $2,500,000).

(c) Schedule 3.08 discloses all Unfunded Pension Liabilities with respect to Plans maintained by the Companies or any of their ERISA Affiliates as of the Effective Date.

(d) (x) If each Company were to withdraw from all Multiemployer Plans in a complete withdrawal as of the date this assurance is given or deemed given, the aggregate Withdrawal Liability that could be incurred would not be in excess of $2,500,000, and (y) if each Company and each of its ERISA Affiliates were to withdraw from all Multiemployer Plans in a complete withdrawal as of the date this assurance is given or deemed given, the aggregate Withdrawal Liability that would be incurred could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (and in no event do any Companies have actual knowledge of such aggregate potential Withdrawal Liability that, if incurred, could reasonably be expected to result in liability to any Company (including, without limitation, liability imposed thereon by virtue of ERISA or the Code) in excess of $2,500,000).

(e) There are no actions, suits or claims pending against or involving a Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) or, to the knowledge of any Company, threatened, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Each Company and each of its ERISA Affiliates has made all contributions to or under each Plan and Multiemployer Plan required by (i) law within the applicable time period prescribed thereby, (ii) the terms of such Plan or Multiemployer Plan, respectively, or (iii) any contract or agreement requiring contributions to a Plan or Multiemployer Plan, except, in each of Sections 3.08(f)(i) through (f)(iii), where any failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) Each Company and each of its ERISA Affiliates has not ceased operations at a facility so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4068(a) of ERISA, withdrawn as a substantial employer so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4063 of ERISA or ceased making contributions to any Plan subject to Section 4064(a) of ERISA. No Company and none of its ERISA Affiliates has any liability under Section 4069 or Section 4212(c) of ERISA.

(h) Assuming that none of the Lenders are using Plan Assets in connection with the Loans and the Commitments and assuming that Administrative Agent’s actions (if any) with respect to any ERISA Investor are in compliance with Section 7.02 hereby, the Transactions will not give rise to a “non-exempt prohibited transaction” under Section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the Code or Section 406(a) of ERISA that would subject the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any Taxes, penalty, damages or any other claim or relief under the Code or ERISA.

(c) All information of a general economic nature (excluding the specific historical economic performance of any Company or its Affiliates) or relating generally to the industry in which any Company or its Affiliates operate made available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower are believed by the Borrower in good faith to be true and accurate in all material respects, but without independent investigation by the Borrower of the accuracy thereof.

The Borrower will maintain and enforce policies and procedures that are designed in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to promote and achieve compliance, in the reasonable judgment of the Borrower, by each Company and each of its directors, officers, employees and agents with any applicable Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, in each case, giving due regard to the nature of such Person’s business and activities. The Borrower will use the proceeds of any Capital Calls only for such purposes as are permitted by its Constituent Documents and the Subscription Documents.

Section 5.08. Certain Obligations Respecting Subsidiaries; Further Assurances.

(a) Subsidiary Guarantors.

(i) In the event that (1) any Company shall form or acquire any new Subsidiary (other than a Financing Subsidiary, a CFC, a Transparent Subsidiary or an Immaterial Subsidiary), or any other Person shall become a “Subsidiary” within the meaning of the definition thereof (other than a Financing Subsidiary, a CFC, an Immaterial Subsidiary or a Transparent Subsidiary), (2) any Structured Subsidiary shall no longer constitute a “Structured Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof (or the defined terms therein), in which case such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be a “new” Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 5.08, (3) any SBIC Subsidiary shall no longer constitute an “SBIC Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof, in which case such Person shall be deemed to be a “new” Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 5.08, (4) any CFC shall no longer constitute a “CFC” pursuant to the definition thereof, in which case such Person shall be deemed to be a “new” Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 5.08, (5) any Transparent Subsidiary shall no longer constitute a “Transparent Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof, in which case such Person shall be deemed to be a “new” Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 5.08, (6) any Immaterial Subsidiary shall no longer constitute an “Immaterial Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof, in which case such Person shall be deemed to be a “new” Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 5.08, the Borrower will, in each case, on or before thirty (30) days (or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) following such Person becoming a Subsidiary or such Financing Subsidiary, CFC, Transparent Subsidiary or Immaterial Subsidiary, as the case may be, no longer qualifying as such, cause such new Subsidiary or former Structured Subsidiary, former CFC, former Transparent Subsidiary or former Immaterial Subsidiary, as the case may be, to become a “Subsidiary Guarantor” (and, thereby, an “Obligor”) under the Guarantee and Security Agreement pursuant to a Guarantee Assumption Agreement and to deliver such proof of corporate or other action, incumbency of officers, opinions of counsel and other documents as is consistent with those delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.01 (as in effect on the Effective Date) on the Effective Date and as the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may elect to cause any of its Structured Subsidiaries to become an Obligor by causing such Person to become a Subsidiary Guarantor and executing and delivering a Guarantee Assumption Agreement and other deliverables as required for a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 5.08(a) (at which point such Person shall be a Subsidiary Guarantor and shall no longer be a Structured Subsidiary, a CFC, Transparent Subsidiary or an Immaterial Subsidiary, as the case may be). As of the Effective Date, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries.

107

(ii) Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to exclude each Structured Subsidiary, each SBIC Subsidiary, each CFC, each Transparent Subsidiary and each Immaterial Subsidiary as an Obligor only for so long as such Person qualifies as a “Structured Subsidiary,” “SBIC Subsidiary,” “CFC”, “Transparent Subsidiary” or “Immaterial Subsidiary,” respectively, pursuant to the definition thereof, and thereafter such Person shall no longer constitute an “Structured Subsidiary,” “SBIC Subsidiary,” “CFC”, “Transparent Subsidiary” or “Immaterial Subsidiary,” as applicable, for any purpose of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) Ownership of Subsidiaries. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, take such action from time to time as shall be necessary to ensure that each of its Subsidiaries is, directly or indirectly, a wholly owned Subsidiary.

(c) Further Assurances. The Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, take such action from time to time as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent to effectuate the purposes and objectives of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to:

(i) take such action from time to time (including filing appropriate Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and executing and delivering such assignments, security agreements and other instruments) as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to create, in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (and any affiliate thereof that is a party to any Hedging Agreement entered into with the Borrower), perfected first priority security interests and Liens in the Collateral; provided that any such security interest or Lien shall be subject to the relevant requirements of the Security Documents;

108

(ii) with respect to each deposit account or securities account of the Loan Parties (other than (A) any accounts that are maintained by the Borrower as “servicer” for a Financing Subsidiary or Agency Account, (B) withholding tax and fiduciary accounts or any trust account maintained solely on behalf of a Portfolio Investment, (C) any account of any Loan Party in which the aggregate value of deposits therein, together with all other such accounts under this clause (C), does not at any time exceed $75,000 and (D) any accounts which hold solely money or financial assets of a Financing Subsidiary; provided that in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (A) through (D), (x) no such account shall be a Capital Call Account and (y) no other Person (other than the depository institution at which such account is maintained) shall have “control” (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code) over such account), cause each bank or securities intermediary (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code) to enter into such arrangements with the Collateral Agent as shall be appropriate in order that the Collateral Agent has “control” (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code) over each such deposit account or securities account (each, a “Control Account”), and in that connection, the Borrower agrees, subject to Sections 5.08(c)(iv) and (v) below, to cause all cash and other proceeds of Portfolio Investments received by any Obligor to be immediately deposited into a Control Account (or otherwise delivered to, or registered in the name of, the Collateral Agent) or, with respect to any Capital Contributions, to be paid directly into a Capital Call Account (or indirectly through the AML Account) and, both prior to and following such deposit, delivery or registration such cash and other proceeds shall be held in trust by such Loan Party for the benefit and as the property of the Collateral Agent and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of such Loan Party or any other Person (other than another Loan Party) (including with any money or financial assets of the Borrower in its capacity as a “servicer” for a Structured Subsidiary, or any money or financial assets of a Structured Subsidiary, or any money or financial assets of the Borrower in its capacity as an “agent” or “administrative agent” for any other Bank Loans subject to Section 5.08(c)(v) below); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Capital Contributions shall be permitted to be deposited into and transferred from the AML Account pursuant to the terms and provisions (including with respect to timing) of the Administration Agreement Side Letter;

(iii) cause the Financing Subsidiaries to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such certificates and agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as it shall determine are necessary to confirm that such Financing Subsidiary qualifies or continues to qualify as a “Structured Subsidiary” or an “SBIC Subsidiary,” as applicable, pursuant to the definitions thereof (but, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in no event more often than once per quarter);

(iv) in the case of any Portfolio Investment consisting of a Bank Loan (as defined in Section 5.13) that does not constitute all of the credit extended to the underlying borrower under the relevant underlying loan documents, and a Financing Subsidiary holds any interest in such Bank Loan, (x) (1) cause the interest owned by such Financing Subsidiary to be evidenced by separate execution of relevant loan documentation by, or assignment documentation in the name of, such Financing Subsidiary and, if such interest is evidenced by notes, cause such interest to be evidenced by a separate note or notes, which note or notes are either (A) in the name of such Financing Subsidiary or (B) in the name of the Borrower, endorsed in blank and delivered to the applicable Financing Subsidiary and beneficially owned by such Financing Subsidiary and (2) not permit such Financing Subsidiary to have a participation acquired from an Obligor in such underlying loan documents and the extensions of credit thereunder or any other indirect interest therein acquired from an Obligor; and (y) ensure that, subject to Section 5.08(c)(v) below, all amounts owing to any Obligor by the underlying borrower or other obligated party are remitted by such borrower or obligated party (or the applicable administrative agents, collateral agents or equivalent Person) directly to the Custodian Account of an Obligor and no other amounts owing by such underlying borrower or obligated party to a Person that is not an Obligor are remitted to the Custodian Account of an Obligor;

109

(v) in the event that any Loan Party is acting as an agent or administrative agent under any loan documents with respect to any Bank Loan (or is acting in an analogous agency capacity under any agreement related to any Portfolio Investment) and such Loan Party does not hold all of the credit extended to the underlying borrower or issuer under the relevant underlying loan documents or other agreements, ensure that (1) all funds held by such Loan Party in such capacity as agent or administrative agent are segregated from all other funds of such Loan Party and clearly identified as being held in an agency capacity (an “Agency Account”); (2) all amounts owing on account of such Bank Loan or Portfolio Investment by the underlying borrower or other obligated party are remitted by such borrower or obligated party to either (A) such Agency Account or (B) directly to an account in the name of the underlying lender to whom such amounts are owed (for the avoidance of doubt, no funds representing amounts owing to more than one underlying lender may be remitted to any single account other than the Agency Account); and (3) within one (1) Business Day after receipt of such funds, such Loan Party acting in its capacity as agent or administrative agent shall distribute any such funds belonging to any Loan Party to a Custodian Account of a Loan Party (provided that if any distribution referred to in this clause (c) is not permitted by applicable bankruptcy law to be made within such one (1) Business Day period as a result of the bankruptcy of the underlying borrower, such Loan Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain permission to make such distribution and shall make such distribution as soon as legally permitted to do so);

(vi) cause the documentation relating to each Investment in Indebtedness described in paragraph 1 of Schedule 1.01(d) to be delivered to the Custodian as provided therein; and

(vii) in the case of any Portfolio Investment held by any Financing Subsidiary, including any cash collection related thereto, ensure that such Portfolio Investment shall not be held in any Custodian Account of an Obligor, or any other account of any Obligor, and shall be segregated from the accounts holding Collateral.

Section 5.09. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans and the issuances of Letters of Credit only for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than Financing Subsidiaries except as expressly permitted under Section 6.03(e) or Section 6.03(i)) in the ordinary course of business, including making distributions not prohibited by this Agreement, making payments on Indebtedness of the Loan Parties to the extent permitted under this Agreement and the acquisition and funding (either directly or through one or more wholly-owned Subsidiary Guarantors) of leveraged loans, mezzanine loans, high-yield securities, convertible securities and other Portfolio Investments, in each case to the extent otherwise permitted hereunder; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any responsibility as to the use of any of such proceeds. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used in violation of applicable law, rule or regulation (including to buy or carry any Margin Stock in violation of applicable law, rule or regulation). On the first day (if any) a Loan Party acquires any Margin Stock or at any other time requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the applicable Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U. No Loan Party will, to its actual knowledge, directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the Loans or otherwise make available such proceeds (I) to any Person for the purpose of financing the activities or business of any Person, or in any country or territory, that at the time of such funding, is or whose government is (A) subject to, or the subject of, any Sanctions or (B) organized or resident in a Sanctioned Country or (II) for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws. For the avoidance of doubt, Letters of Credit may be issued to support obligations of any Portfolio Company; provided that the underlying obligations of such Portfolio Company to the applicable Obligors in respect of such Letters of Credit shall not be included in the Borrowing Base.

110

Section 5.10. Status of RIC and BDC. The Borrower shall at all times maintain its status as a “business development company” under the Investment Company Act and, on and after the date in which it elects to qualify as a RIC, as a RIC under the Code.

Section 5.11. Investment Policies. The Borrower shall at all times be in compliance in all material respects with its Investment Policies.

Section 5.12. Portfolio Valuation and Diversification Etc.

(a) Industry Classification Groups. For purposes of this Agreement, the Borrower shall assign each Eligible Portfolio Investment to an Industry Classification Group as reasonably determined by the Borrower. To the extent that the Borrower reasonably determines that any Eligible Portfolio Investment is not adequately correlated with the risks of other Eligible Portfolio Investments in an Industry Classification Group, such Eligible Portfolio Investment may be assigned by the Borrower to an Industry Classification Group that is more closely correlated to such Eligible Portfolio Investment. In the absence of adequate correlation, the Borrower shall be permitted to, upon notice to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender, create up to three additional industry classification groups for purposes of this Agreement; provided that no more than three different additional industry classification groups may be created pursuant to this paragraph (a).

(b) Portfolio Valuation Etc.

(i) Settlement Date Basis. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all determinations of whether a Portfolio Investment is an Eligible Portfolio Investment shall be determined on a Settlement-Date Basis, provided that no such investment shall be included as an Eligible Portfolio Investment to the extent it has not been paid for in full.

111

(ii) Determination of Values. On and after the first date in which the Minimum Issuer Concentration Limitation is satisfied, the Borrower will conduct reviews of the value to be assigned to each of its Eligible Portfolio Investments as follows:

(A) Quoted Investments External Review. With respect to Eligible Portfolio Investments (including Cash Equivalents) traded in an active and orderly market for which market quotations are readily available (“Quoted Investments”), the Borrower shall, not less frequently than once each calendar week, determine the market value of such Quoted Investments which shall, in each case, be determined in accordance with one of the following methodologies as selected by the Borrower (each such value, an “External Quoted Value”):

(w) in the case of public and 144A securities, the average of the most recent bid prices as determined by two Approved Dealers selected by the Borrower,

(x) in the case of Bank Loans, the average of the most recent bid prices as determined by two Approved Dealers selected by the Borrower or an Approved Pricing Service which makes reference to at least two Approved Dealers with respect to such Bank Loans,

(y) in the case of any Quoted Investment traded on an exchange, the closing price for such Quoted Investment most recently posted on such exchange, and

(z) in the case of any other Quoted Investment, the fair market value thereof as determined by an Approved Pricing Service.

(B) Unquoted Investments External Review. With respect to Eligible Portfolio Investments for which market quotations are not readily available (“Unquoted Investments”):

(x) Commencing with the first quarter ending after the first quarter in which the Covered Debt Amount exceeds the Subscription Borrowing Base, on each February 28^th or 29^th, as applicable, April 30^th, July 31^st and October 31^st of each calendar year (or such other dates as are reasonably agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (provided that such testing dates shall occur not less than quarterly), each a “Valuation Testing Date”), the Administrative Agent through an Independent Valuation Provider will, solely for the purposes of determining the Portfolio Leverage Borrowing Base, test the values as of such Valuation Testing Date of those Unquoted Investments that are Portfolio Investments included in the Portfolio Leverage Borrowing Base selected by the Administrative Agent (such selected assets, the “IVP Tested Assets” and such value, the “IVP External Unquoted Value”); provided that the fair value of such Portfolio Investments tested by the Independent Valuation Provider as of any Valuation Testing Date shall be approximately equal to the Calculation Amount; provided, however, that in no event shall more than 25% (or if the amount calculated under clause (ii) of the definition of “Calculation Amount” is greater than the amount calculated under clause (i) of such definition, 10%) of the aggregate value of the Unquoted Investments in the Portfolio Leverage Borrowing Base be tested in any quarter; provided, further that the Administrative Agent shall provide written notice to the Borrower, setting forth a description of which Unquoted Investments shall be IVP Tested Assets as of such Valuation Testing Date, not later than 15 days prior to the Valuation Testing Date (or such later date as agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower). Each such valuation report shall also include the information required to comply with clause (ii) of paragraph 6 and paragraph 20 of Schedule 1.01(d) for an IVP Tested Asset (to the extent such provisions are applicable).

112

(y) The Borrower shall value all Eligible Portfolio Investments that are Unquoted Investments that are not IVP Tested Assets as of such Valuation Testing Date (the “Borrower Tested Assets”); provided that the Borrower shall use an Approved Third-Party Appraiser to assist the Board of Directors of the Borrower (or the Investment Advisor so long as it has the necessary delegated authority) in determining the fair market value of at least 25% (or 35% for any quarter in which the Portfolio Leverage Borrowing Base accounts for greater than 67% of the total Borrowing Base) of the aggregate value of the Unquoted Investments in the Borrowing Base (such value, the “Borrower External Unquoted Value”) as of each Valuation Testing Date, and to provide the Board of Directors (or the Investment Advisor so long as it has the necessary delegated authority) with a written independent valuation report as part of that assistance each quarter; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the fair market value of any Portfolio Investment that has not been valued by an Independent Valuation Provider or an Approved Third-Party Appraiser for more than three (3) full fiscal quarters since the later of its acquisition and the date it was last valued by an Independent Valuation Provider or an Approved Third-Party Appraiser shall be zero (0) until such asset is valued by an Independent Valuation Provider or an Approved Third-Party Appraiser (but effective upon the date upon which the Borrowing Base Certificate for such last day is required to be delivered). Each such valuation report shall also include the information required to comply with clause (ii) of paragraph 6 and paragraph 20 of Schedule 1.01(d).

(C) Internal Review. The Borrower shall conduct internal reviews to determine the value of all Eligible Portfolio Investments at least once each calendar week which shall take into account any events of which the Borrower has knowledge that adversely affect the value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment (each such value, an “Internal Value”).

(D) Value of Quoted Investments. Subject to Sections 5.12(b)(ii)(G) and 5.12(b)(iii), the “Value” of each Quoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be the lowest of (1) the Internal Value of such Quoted Investment as most recently determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C), (2) the External Quoted Value of such Quoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(A) and (3) if such Quoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Quoted Investment.

113

(E) Value of Unquoted Investments. Subject to Sections 5.12(b)(ii)(G) and 5.12(b)(iii),

(x) if the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C) falls below the range of the IVP External Unquoted Value or the Borrower External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B), then the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the lower of (i) the Internal Value and (ii) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment;

(y) (i) if the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C) falls above the range of the Borrower External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B), then the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the lower of (i) the midpoint of the range of the Borrower External Unquoted Value and (ii) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment;

(ii) if the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C) falls more than 5% above the midpoint of the range of the IVP External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B), then the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the lower of (i) the midpoint of the range of the IVP External Unquoted Value and (ii) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment; and

(z) if the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C) is within the range of the Borrower External Unquoted Value, or within or not more than 5% above the midpoint of the range of the IVP External Unquoted Value, of such Unquoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B), then the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the lower of (i) the Internal Value and (ii) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment;

except that:

(1) if the difference between the highest and lowest Borrower External Unquoted Value in such range exceeds an amount equal to 6% of the midpoint of such range, the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall instead be deemed to be the lowest of (i) the lowest Borrower External Unquoted Value in such range, (ii) the Internal Value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C), and (iii) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment; and

114

(2) if an Unquoted Investment is acquired during a fiscal quarter, the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be equal to the lowest of (x) the Internal Value of such Unquoted Investment as determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C), (y) the cost of such Unquoted Investment until such time as the External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment is determined in accordance with Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B) as at the Valuation Testing Date, and (z) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment.

(F) Actions Upon a Borrowing Base Deficiency. If, based upon such weekly internal review, the Borrower determines that a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or that the Borrowing Base has declined by more than 15% from the Borrowing Base stated in the Borrowing Base Certificate as of the most recently ended calendar month (other than in connection with the receipt of Net Asset Sale Proceeds or Net Return of Capital which are used to prepay the Loans), then the Borrower shall, promptly and in any event within two Business Days as provided in Section 5.01(d), deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting the new amount of the Borrowing Base and shall take the actions, and make the payments and prepayments (if any) (and to the extent necessary, provide cover for Letters of Credit as contemplated by Section 2.18(k)), all as more specifically set forth in Section 2.08(c).

(G) Failure to Determine Values. If the Borrower shall fail to determine the value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment as at any date pursuant to the requirements (but subject to the exclusions) of the foregoing subclauses (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) (or if the Administrative Agent shall fail to determine the value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment as described in the foregoing subclause (B) as a result of any action, inaction or lack of cooperation of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates), then the “Value” of such Eligible Portfolio Investment for purposes of such Portfolio Leverage Borrowing Base as at such date shall be deemed to be zero. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if the Administrative Agent shall fail to determine the value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment as at any date pursuant to clause (B)(x), then the “Value” of such Eligible Portfolio Investment as at such date (subject to clause (iii) below) shall be the lower of (x) the Internal Value and (y) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment, provided, however, that if a Borrower External Unquoted Value or IVP External Unquoted Value has been obtained with respect to such asset, then the “Value” of such Eligible Portfolio Investment will be determined as provided in clause (E) above.

(H) Initial Value of Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, from the first date that the Minimum Issuer Concentration Limitation is satisfied until the date when valuation reports are required to be delivered under Section 5.01(i) for the first fiscal quarter ending after such date, the Value of any Unquoted Investment included in the Portfolio Leverage Borrowing Base shall be the lower of (i) the Internal Value of such Unquoted Investment determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C) and (ii) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment.

115

(iii) Supplemental Testing of Values; Valuation Dispute Resolutions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, individually or at the request of the Required Lenders, shall at any time have the right to request any Eligible Portfolio Investment (other than IVP Tested Assets as of the most recent Valuation Testing Date) included in the Portfolio Leverage Borrowing Base with a value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) to be independently valued by an Independent Valuation Provider. There shall be no limit on the number of such appraisals requested by the Administrative Agent and the costs of any such valuation shall be at the expense of the Borrower; provided that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall not be responsible for the reimbursement of fees, costs and expenses under this Section 5.12(b)(iii) in excess of an amount (such amount, the “Supplemental IVP Cap”) the equal to the product of (x) the Portfolio Leverage Borrowing Base divided by the total Borrowing Base and (y) 0.05% of the total Commitments, in the aggregate for all such fees, costs and expenses in any 12-month period. If the value of any Borrower Tested Asset determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) differs from the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider and the difference between such values is (1) less than or equal to 5% of the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii), then the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) shall become the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment, (2) greater than 5% and less than or equal to 20% of the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii), then the average of the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) and the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider shall become the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment, and (3) greater than 20% of the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii), then either (i) the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment shall be the lesser of the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) and the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider or (ii) if the Borrower so elects, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall retain (at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense) an additional Third-Party Appraiser and, upon completion of such appraisal, the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment shall be the average of the three valuations (with the average of the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) and the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider to be used until the third value is obtained). For purposes of this Section 5.12(b)(iii), the “Value” of any Portfolio Investment for which the Independent Valuation Provider’s value is used shall be the midpoint of the range (if any) determined by the Independent Valuation Provider.

(iv) Generally Applicable Valuation Provisions.

(A) The Independent Valuation Provider shall apply a recognized valuation methodology that is commonly accepted in the Borrower’s industry for valuing Portfolio Investments of the type being valued and held by the Obligors. Other procedures relating to the valuation will be reasonably agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

(B) All valuations shall be on a Settlement-Date Basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the value of any Portfolio Investments determined in accordance with any provision of this Section 5.12 shall be the Value of such Portfolio Investment for purposes of this Agreement until a new Value for such Portfolio Investment is subsequently determined in good faith in accordance with this Section 5.12.

(C) The Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of the final results of any valuation received by the Administrative Agent and performed by the Independent Valuation Provider or the Approved Third-Party Appraiser to any Lender within ten (10) Business Days after such Lender’s request, except to the extent that such recipient (or proposed recipient) has not executed and delivered a non-reliance letter, confidentiality agreement or similar agreement, in each case, requested or required by such Independent Valuation Provider or Approved Third-Party Appraiser, as applicable.

116

(D) The foregoing valuation procedures shall only be required to be used for purposes of calculating the Portfolio Leverage Borrowing Base and related concepts and shall not be required to be utilized by the Borrower or any other Company for any other purpose, including the delivery of financial statements or valuations required under ASC 820.

(E) The reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs of any valuation reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent under this Section 5.12 shall be at the expense of the Borrower; provided that, the reimbursement of amounts incurred pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(iii) shall, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be subject to the Supplemental IVP Cap.

Section 5.13. Calculation of Portfolio Leverage Borrowing Base. For purposes of this Agreement, (A) in the event that the Minimum Issuer Concentration Limitation is not satisfied on any date of determination, the “Portfolio Leverage Borrowing Base” shall be zero and (B) in the event that the Minimum Issuer Concentration Limitation is satisfied on any date of determination, the Portfolio Leverage Borrowing Base shall be determined, as at such date of determination, as the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (x) the Value of each Eligible Portfolio Investment by (y) the applicable Portfolio Leverage Advance Rate; provided that:

(a) the Portfolio Leverage Advance Rate applicable to the aggregate Value of all Eligible Portfolio Investments in their entirety shall be 0% at any time when the Portfolio Leverage Borrowing Base is composed entirely of Eligible Portfolio Investments issued by fewer than (x) for the first twelve-month period following the Effective Date, 8 different issuers, (y) for the period commencing on the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date and ending on the date that is eighteen months after the Effective Date, 12 different issuers, and (z) thereafter, 15 different issuers (the concentration limitation in this clause (a), the “Minimum Issuer Concentration Limitation”);

(b) the Portfolio Leverage Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate fair value of Eligible Portfolio Investments of all issuers in a consolidated group of corporations exceeding 6% of the greater of (x) aggregate fair value of all Portfolio Investments in the Portfolio Leverage Borrowing Base and (y) (i) prior to the Revolver Termination Date, an amount equal to 2.00 multiplied by the aggregate Capital Commitments of Investors to the Borrower and (ii) on and after the Revolver Termination Date, $0 (such greater amount, the “Specified Amount”), shall be 50% of the Portfolio Leverage Advance Rate that is otherwise applicable; provided that, the Portfolio Leverage Advance Rate applicable to that portion of such Eligible Portfolio Investments that exceeds 12% of the Specified Amount shall be 0%;

The Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts to give the Administrative Agent prior written notice and copies of close to final proposed drafts of any amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification to its Subscription Documents.

(f) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, freely amend, restate, terminate, or otherwise modify any documents, instruments and agreements evidencing, securing or relating to Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 6.01(c) and (f), including increases in the principal amount thereof, modifications to the advance rates and/or modifications to the interest rate, fees or other pricing terms, so long as such Indebtedness continues to be permitted under Section 6.01(c) or (f); provided, that, (i) immediately after giving effect to such amendment, restatement, termination or other modification of such Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.01(c), such Indebtedness shall constitute Other Permitted Indebtedness and (ii) no such amendment, restatement or modification shall, unless the Borrower complies with the terms of Section 5.08(a)(i) hereof, cause a Structured Subsidiary to fail to be a “Structured Subsidiary” in accordance with the definition thereof.

The Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent, on the day of the effectiveness thereof, a copy of any Side Letter or other arrangement, and, if the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that such Side Letter or other arrangement entered into is materially adverse to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, the applicable Investor will be excluded from the Subscription Borrowing Base except with the approval of the Required Lenders (unless the approval of all Lenders is required consistent with the terms of Section 9.02) and the Administrative Agent.

Each Lender, each Person acquiring a participation from any Lender as contemplated by Section 9.04 and the Borrower hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange. It is understood and agreed that the CAM Exchange, in itself, will not affect the aggregate amount of Designated Obligations owing by the Loan Parties. The Borrower and the Lenders agree from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes so executed and delivered; provided that the failure of the Borrower to execute or deliver or of any Lender to accept such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange.

145

As a result of the CAM Exchange, on and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Designated Obligations shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages (to be redetermined as of each such date of payment). Any direct payment received by a Lender on or after the CAM Exchange Date, including by way of set-off, in respect of a Designated Obligation shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders in accordance herewith.

Section 7.02. Certain Actions with Respect to Capital Calls. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, is hereby authorized, during a Capital Call Trigger Period, to (i) initiate one or more Capital Calls in order to pay the Loans then due and owing with respect to any Investor that is not an ERISA Investor (or, with respect to an ERISA Investor, compel the Borrower to initiate one or more Capital Calls to such ERISA Investor), (ii) notify the Investors that are not ERISA Investors (or, with respect to any ERISA Investor, compel the Borrower to notify such ERISA Investors) to make all payments due or to be come due with respect to their Capital Commitments directly to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties or to an account other than a Control Account, (iii) take or bring in the name of the Borrower (and with respect to any ERISA Investor, solely as agent for the Borrower), or that of the Secured Parties, all steps, actions, suits or proceedings deemed by the Administrative Agent necessary or desirable to effect possession or collection of payments of the Capital Commitments, (iv) complete any contract or agreement of the Borrower in any way related to payment of any of the Capital Commitments, (v) make allowances or adjustments related to the Capital Commitments, (vi) compromise any claims related to the Capital Commitments or (vii) exercise any other right, privilege, power or remedy provided to the Borrower under any Constituent Document of the Borrower or the Subscription Agreements with respect to the Capital Commitments. Regardless of any provision hereof, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall be liable for failure to collect or for failure to exercise diligence in the collection, possession, or any transaction concerning, all or part of the Capital Calls or the Capital Commitment or sums due or paid thereon, nor shall they be under any obligation whatsoever to anyone by virtue of the security interests and Liens relating to the Capital Commitment, subject to the Internal Revenue Code. The Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower notice of actions taken pursuant to this Section 7.02 concurrently with, or promptly after, the taking of such action, but its failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action, nor shall such failure give rise to defenses to the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute any documents or take any other actions specified in this Section 7.02 in pursuance of the powers granted to it pursuant to the irrevocable power of attorney granted to it by the Borrower pursuant to Section 7.03. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall, in respect of any ERISA Investor, take no action on its own behalf in directing payments under this Article 10 or otherwise under this Agreement, but rather take such action solely on behalf of the applicable general partner to call capital into the applicable Loan Party.

146

Section 7.03. Additional Actions Relating to Capital Calls. At any time during a Capital Call Trigger Period, issuance by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties of a receipt to any Person obligated to pay any Capital Contribution shall be a full and complete release, discharge and acquittance to such Person to the extent of any amount so paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties so long as such amounts shall not be invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any insolvency law, state or federal law, common law or equitable doctrine. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Borrower, to during a Capital Call Trigger Period endorse the name of the Borrower 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 coming into the Administrative Agent’s possession, and to apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized during a Capital Call Trigger Period to execute any documents or take any actions specified in this Section 7.03 in pursuance of the powers granted to it pursuant to the irrevocable power of attorney granted to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 7.03. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, is hereby granted an irrevocable power of attorney, which is coupled with an interest and given by way of security to secure the performance of the Obligations, to, during a Capital Call Trigger Period, execute all checks, drafts, receipts, instruments, instructions or other documents, agreements, or items on behalf of the Borrower, either before or after demand of payment of the Obligations, as shall be deemed by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, to protect the first priority security interests and Liens in the Collateral or the repayment of the Obligations, and none of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties, in the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct, shall incur any liability in connection with or arising from the exercise of such power of attorney.

Section 7.04. Performance by the Administrative Agent. Should any Loan Party fail to perform any covenant, duty, or agreement contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, and such failure results in an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, but is not obligated to, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty, or agreement on behalf of such Loan Party as long as such Event of Default is continuing. In such event, the Loan Parties will, at the request of the Administrative Agent promptly pay any amount expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.10(e) from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party assumes any liability or responsibility for the performance of any duties of any Loan Party, or any related Person hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or other control over the management and affairs of any Loan Party, or any related Person, nor by any such action will the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party be deemed to create a partnership arrangement with any Loan Party or any related Person.

The Person serving as an Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any other Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their other Affiliates as if it were not an Agent hereunder, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their other Affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders.

Section 8.03. Limitation of Duties; Exculpation. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except, solely in the case of the Administrative Agent, discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise upon receipt of and pursuant to specific instruction in writing to do so delivered by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as is expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent is not required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall any Agent be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it 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 such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, including under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02 or Article VIII of this Agreement) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and no Agent shall 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 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, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Loan Documents or the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be liable or responsible in any way or manner for the failure to obtain or receive an IVP External Unquoted Value for any asset or for the failure to send any notice required under Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B)(x).

148

Section 8.04. Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 8.05. Sub-Agents. Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of any Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent. No Agent is responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

149

Section 8.06. Resignation; Successor Administrative Agent. Any Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and, the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that no such consent shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which is not a Direct Competitor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after any retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then, solely with respect to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders of the Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (2) the Required Lenders shall perform the duties of the Administrative Agent (and all payments and communications provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly) until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such retiring (or retired) Agent and such retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After any Agent’s resignation hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Agent.

Section 8.07. Reliance by Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 8.08. Modifications to Loan Documents. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02(b) or 9.02(c) with respect to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as is expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) (but not otherwise), consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents; provided that, without the prior consent of each Lender, no Agent shall (except as provided herein or in the Security Documents) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the Liens under any Security Document providing for collateral security, agree to additional obligations being secured by all or substantially all of such collateral security, or alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the benefits of the Liens created under the Security Documents with respect to all or substantially all of the Collateral, except that no such consent shall be required, and each Agent is hereby authorized, to release any Lien covering property that is the subject of either a disposition of property permitted hereunder or a disposition to which the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as is expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) have consented.

Section 8.10. Collateral Matters. (a) Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.08 or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement), it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no arrangements in respect of any Hedging Agreement, the obligations under which constitute Hedging Agreement Obligations, will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such arrangement in respect of Hedging Agreements shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent, respectively, under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

(d) Without limiting the provisions of Section 8.12, any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released, and the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to take any action with respect to such release: (a) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations); (b) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document; or (c) subject to Section 9.02, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as is expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents). Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as is expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 8.10.

152

Section 8.12. 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 the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan will then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent has made any demand on the Borrower) will be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties under Section 2.09 and otherwise hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

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

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

Section 8.13. Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which an Obligor is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Collateral Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Secured Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Collateral Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Collateral Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Secured Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Secured Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Secured Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Secured Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Secured Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

153

Section 8.14. Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent; Erroneous Payments.

(a) Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or Borrower (either one as appropriate being the “Payor”) prior to the date on which such Lender is to make payment hereunder to Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan or Borrower is to make payment to Administrative Agent, as the case may be (either such payment being a “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor will not make the Required Payment in full to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made in full to Administrative Agent on such date, and Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date. If and to the extent the Payor shall not have in fact so made the Required Payment in full to Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount made available to it together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was so made available by Administrative Agent until the date Administrative Agent recovers such amount, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, (x) with respect to SOFR Borrowings, the interest rate applicable to SOFR Loans having an Interest Period of one month’s duration, (y) with respect to Eurocurrency Borrowings, the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Loans having an Interest Period of one month’s duration and (z) with respect to Borrowings denominated in Pounds Sterling, the interest rate applicable to RFR Loans.

(b) (i) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, 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 Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 8.14(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment 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 sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(iii) The Borrower hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the 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 the Borrower for the purpose of making such erroneous Payment.

154

(iv) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations of the Obligors under any Loan Document.

Any party hereto may change its address or e-mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt. Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b).

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.03 if such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. Each of the Administrative Agent and the 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 that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the 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, 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.

(iii) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders and each of the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders and each Loan Party hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(iv) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LEAD ARRANGER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, EXCEPT FOR DIRECT DAMAGES THAT A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION DETERMINES IN A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ACTED WITH GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT IN THE SELECTION OF SUCH SUB-AGENTS.

“Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform.

157

(v) Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender and the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

(vi) Each of the Lenders and the Loan Parties agree that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

(vii) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

Section 9.02. Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

(b) Amendments to this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, subject to Section 2.16(b), no such agreement shall

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender,

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,

158

(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees or other amounts payable to a Lender hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (other than any waiver of the default rate of interest),

(iv) change Section 2.15(b), (c) or (d) or Section 2.08(g) (or other sections referred to therein to the extent relating to pro rata payments) in a manner that would alter the pro rata reduction of commitments, sharing of payments, or making of disbursements, required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,

(v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender,

(vi) permit the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender,

(vii) at any time prior to the Commitment Period Expiration Date, amend the definitions of “Eligible Investor”, “Exclusion Event”, or any of the related defined terms with respect to each of the foregoing without the written consent of each Lender; or

(viii) change any of the provisions of the definition of the term “Agreed Foreign Currency” or any other provision hereof specifying the Foreign Currencies in which each Multicurrency Lender must make Multicurrency Loans, or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder with respect to the definition of “Agreed Foreign Currencies” without the written consent of each Multicurrency Lender;

provided further that (x) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent or the Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of such affected Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and (y) the consent of Lenders holding not less than two-thirds of the total Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Commitments will be required for (A) any change adverse to the Lenders affecting the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Borrowing Base, Portfolio Leverage Borrowing Base or the Subscription Borrowing Base (including the definitions used therein), or the valuation procedures set forth in Section 5.12, and (B) any release of any material portion of the Collateral other than for fair value or as otherwise permitted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Lenders of any Class in a manner that does not affect all Classes equally shall be effective against the Lenders of such Class unless the Required Lenders of such Class shall have concurred with such waiver, amendment or modification as provided above; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, in no other circumstances shall the concurrence of the Required Lenders of a particular Class be required for any waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

159

In addition, whenever a waiver, amendment or modification requires the consent of a Lender “affected” thereby, such waiver, amendment or modification shall, upon consent of such Lender, become effective as to such Lender whether or not it becomes effective as to any other Lender, so long as the Required Lenders consent to such waiver, amendment or modification as provided above.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Governmental Authority with authority over the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender asserts (or the Administrative Agent determines that any Governmental Authority may assert) that (a) the Borrower is (or may be deemed) a “covered fund” under the Volcker Rule, and (b) the Transactions or the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents create an ownership interest (as defined in the Volcker Rule) in the Borrower, then the Agents and the Required Lenders shall have the right (without the consent of the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document in a manner that they deem satisfactory to cure the condition or event described above.

(c) Amendments to Security Documents. No Security Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified, except to the extent otherwise expressly contemplated by the Guarantee and Security Agreement or the Control Agreements, as applicable, and the Liens granted under the Guarantee and Security Agreement may not be spread to secure any additional obligations (including any increase in Loans hereunder, but excluding any such increase pursuant to a Commitment Increase under Section 2.06(f)) except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, and by the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, subject to Section 2.16(b), (i) without the written consent of the holders exceeding 67% of the total Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Commitments, no such waiver, amendment or modification to the Guarantee and Security Agreement shall (A) release any Loan Party representing more than 10% of Shareholders’ Equity from its obligations under the Security Documents, (B) release any guarantor representing more than 10% of Shareholders’ Equity under the Guarantee and Security Agreement from its guarantee obligations thereunder, or (C) amend the definition of “Collateral” under the Security Documents (except to add additional collateral) and (ii) without the written consent of each Lender, no such agreement shall (W) release all or substantially all of the Loan Parties from their respective obligations under the Security Documents, (X) release all or substantially all of the collateral security or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the Liens under the Security Documents, (Y) release all or substantially all of the guarantors under the Guarantee and Security Agreement from their guarantee obligations thereunder, or (Z) alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the Liens created under the Security Documents (except in connection with securing additional obligations equally and ratably with the Loans and other obligations hereunder) with respect to the collateral security provided thereby; except that no such consent described in clause (i) or (ii) above shall be required, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized (and so agrees with the Borrower) to direct the Collateral Agent under the Guarantee and Security Agreement to (i) release any Lien covering property (and to release any such guarantor) that is the subject of either a disposition of property permitted hereunder or a disposition to which the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as is expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) have consented, or otherwise in accordance with Section 9.15.

(d) Replacement of Non-Consenting Lender. If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring (i) the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” or (ii) the consent of “two-thirds of the holders of the total Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Commitments”, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to replace each such Non-Consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.17(b) so long as at the time of such replacement, each such replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination.

160

(e) Ambiguity, Omission, Mistake or Typographical Error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting together identify (x) any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (y) any changes to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that are not adverse to any Lender for the purposes of adding an additional Investor, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, or make such other change, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

Section 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses actually incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their Affiliates, limited with respect to legal fees, costs and expenses to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of one outside counsel and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction and one regulatory counsel in each relevant specialty for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent collectively and, in each case, excluding the allocated costs of internal counsel, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration (other than internal overhead charges) of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) including all costs and expenses of the Independent Valuation Provider, (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses actually incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses actually incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender (limited, in the case of legal fees, costs and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of outside legal counsel and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction and one regulatory counsel in each relevant specialty for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders collectively and, in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest with respect to any such Person, another firm of outside legal counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction for all such affected Persons collectively and, in each case, excluding the allocated costs of internal counsel), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof and (iv) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other charges actually incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by any Security Document or any other document referred to therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reimbursement of amounts incurred pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(iii) shall be subject to the Supplemental IVP Cap.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (other than Taxes or Other Taxes which shall only be indemnified by the Borrower to the extent provided in Section 2.14) (limited, in the case of legal fees, costs and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of outside legal counsel and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction and one regulatory counsel in each relevant specialty for the Indemnitees collectively and, in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest with respect to any Indemnified Person, another firm of outside legal counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction for all such affected Indemnified Persons collectively and, in each case, excluding the allocated costs of internal counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby (including any arrangement entered into with an Independent Valuation Provider), (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether brought by any Company, any Indemnitee or a third party and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity shall not as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee, (y) a material breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (z) a claim between any Indemnitee or Indemnitees, on the one hand, and any other Indemnitee or Indemnitees, on the other hand (other than (1) any dispute involving claims against the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, in each case in their respective capacities as such, and (2) claims arising out of any act or omission by the Borrower and/or its Related Parties).

The Borrower shall not be liable to any Indemnitee for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages (other than in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party)) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of the Transactions asserted by an Indemnitee against the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not be deemed to impair or affect the obligations of the and/or Borrower under the preceding provisions of this subsection.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to any Agent or the Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (and without limiting its obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent in its capacity as such or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for any Agent (or any sub-agent) or the Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity.

161

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such liability is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

(f) No Fiduciary Relationship. Each Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lender”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of a Company, its equityholders and/or its affiliates. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries, agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Lender, on the one hand, and any Company, its equityholders or its Affiliates, on the other. Each Company acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender, on the one hand, and any Company, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Company, any of its equityholders or any of its affiliates (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Company, its equityholders or its affiliates on other matters) and (y) each Lender is acting hereunder solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Company, its or their management, its equityholders, its creditors or any other Person. The Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services hereunder of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary duty to any Company, in each case, in connection with such transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto.

Section 9.04. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Assignments Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Lender which is not in accordance with this Section shall be treated as provided in the last sentence of Section 9.04(b)(iii)). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

162

(b) Assignments by Lenders.

(i) Assignments Generally. Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans and LC Exposure at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that, in the case of the Borrower, it shall be deemed reasonable to object to an assignment to any Direct Competitor) of:

(A) the Borrower; provided that (i) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or, if Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received written notice thereof; and

(B) the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an assignment of Multicurrency Loans or Commitments, the Issuing Bank; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank shall be required for an assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender with prior written notice by such assigning Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank.

(ii) Certain Conditions to Assignments. Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans and LC Exposure, the amount of the Commitment or Loans and LC Exposure of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment of Commitments or Loans and LC Exposure shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Commitments and Loans and LC Exposure;

163

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee shall not be payable in connection with an assignment to a Lender or to an Affiliate of a Lender), for which the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not be obligated (except in the case of an assignment pursuant to Section 2.17(b)); and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(iii) Effectiveness of Assignments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section.

(c) Maintenance of Registers by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount and stated interest of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Registers” and each individually, a “Register”). The entries in the Registers shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Registers pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Registers shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Acceptance of Assignments by Administrative Agent. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

164

(e) Special Purposes Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”) owned or administered by such Granting Lender, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Loan by any SPC, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, (iii) the rights of any such SPC shall be derivative of the rights of the Granting Lender, and such SPC shall be subject to all of the restrictions upon the Granting Lender herein contained, and (iv) no SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12 (or any other increased costs protection provision), 2.13 or 2.14. Each SPC shall be conclusively presumed to have made arrangements with its Granting Lender for the exercise of voting and other rights hereunder in a manner which is acceptable to the SPC, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, and each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Parties shall be entitled to rely upon and deal solely with the Granting Lender with respect to Loans made by or through its SPC. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by the Granting Lender.

Each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, in respect of claims arising out of this Agreement; provided that the Granting Lender for each SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage and expense arising out of their inability to institute any such proceeding against its SPC. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, any SPC may (i) without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its Granting Lender or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such SPC to fund the Loans made by such SPC or to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Loans (but nothing contained herein shall be construed in derogation of the obligation of the Granting Lender to make Loans hereunder); provided that neither the consent of the SPC nor of any such assignee shall be required for amendments or waivers hereunder except for those amendments or waivers for which the consent of participants is required under paragraph (f) below, and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis (in the same manner described in Section 9.13(b)) any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(f) Participations. Any Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities other than, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Direct Competitor (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including Sections 2.14(f) and (g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 2.14(f) and (g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.17 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and the Borrower’s expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.17 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(d) as though it were a Lender hereunder. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts and stated interest of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (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. The entries in each 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

165

(g) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 , 2.13 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive. A Participant of a Foreign Lender that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless such Participant agrees to comply with Sections 2.14(f) and (g) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that that the documentation required under Sections 2.14(f) and (g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

(h) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(i) No Assignments or Participations to the Borrower or Affiliates or Certain Other Persons. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may (i) assign or participate any interest in any Commitment, Loan or LC Exposure held by it hereunder to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or the Investment Advisor, or any of its or their respective Affiliates, without the prior consent of each Lender, or (ii) assign any interest in any Commitment, Loan or LC Exposure held by it hereunder to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person) or to any Person known by such Lender at the time of such assignment to be a Defaulting Lender, a Subsidiary of a Defaulting Lender or a Person who, upon consummation of such assignment would be a Defaulting Lender.

(j) Multicurrency Lenders. Any assignment by a Multicurrency Lender, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, must be to a Person that is able to fund and receive payments on account of each Agreed Foreign Currency at such time without the need to obtain any authorization referred to in clause (c) of the definition of “Agreed Foreign Currency”

(k) Certain Matters Relating to Direct Competitors. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Direct Competitors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Direct Competitor or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Direct Competitor. The list of Direct Competitors will be made available by the Administrative Agent to any Lender, Participant or potential Lender or Participant upon request.

Section 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuances of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when provided in Section 4.01, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

166

(b) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Loan Document and any amendment, consent or waiver thereof shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent 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.

Section 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08. Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by each Loan Party (on its own behalf and on behalf of its or their Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the obligations of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document held by such Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured, or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or Issuing Bank different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness; provided that such Lender shall not exercise any right of setoff given in this Section 9.08 without obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The rights of each Lender, Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate may have; provided that in the event any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders and (b) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (unless otherwise set forth therein) shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (unless otherwise set forth therein), or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or any of its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Waiver of Venue. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Service of Process. Each party to this Agreement (i) irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01 and (ii) agrees that service as provided in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01 is sufficient to confer personal jurisdiction over such party in any proceeding in any court and otherwise constitutes effective and binding service in every respect. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

167

Section 9.11. Judgment Currency. This is a loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or any Foreign Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”) and payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency (the “Specified Place”) is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Loans denominated in the Specified Currency. Subject to Section 2.15(a), the payment obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall not be discharged or satisfied by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency in the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in this Section called an “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrower hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Specified Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the Specified Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.

Section 9.12. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 9.13. Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Treatment of Certain Information. The Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to any Company (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Agent or Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Agent or Lender and the Borrower hereby authorizes each Agent and Lender to share any information delivered to such Agent or Lender by any Company pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Agent or Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or affiliate, it being understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section as if it were an Agent or Lender (as applicable) hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lender”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of a Company and/or its Affiliates.

168

(b) Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agree not to disclose any confidential Information consisting of the underwriting memoranda or similar materials delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(i) to a prospective assignee or Participant that is a Direct Competitor, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and any of its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) on a confidential basis to (i) any insurer, (ii) any rating agency in connection with rating any Company or the Loans and (iii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans, (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or (j) in connection with the Lenders’ right to grant a security interest pursuant to Section 9.04(h) to the Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, or subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any other pledgee or assignee pursuant to Section 9.04(h).

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Company relating to any Company or any of its businesses (including any Portfolio Investments), other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Company, provided that, in the case of information received from any Company after the Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with said Act. The Loan Parties shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation (including, without limitation, delivery to such Lender of a Beneficial Ownership Certification).

169

Section 9.15. Termination. Promptly upon the Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall direct the Collateral Agent to, on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, deliver to the Borrower such termination statements and releases and other documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and each of the documents securing the obligations hereunder as the Borrower may reasonably request, all at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.

Section 9.16. Acknowledgment 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 of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the 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 entity, 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 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 of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 9.17. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Secured Obligations hereunder.

Section 9.18. Subordination of Claims.

(a) As used herein, the term “Subordinated Claims” means, with respect to each of the Investment Advisor and each Investor and the Borrower, all debts and liabilities between or among any two or more of such Persons, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of such Person or Persons thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by the Investment Advisor or the Borrower (including, without limitation, by setoff pursuant to the terms of any applicable agreement). Subordinated Claims include, without limitation, all rights and claims of the Investment Advisor and the Borrower against an Investor under the Constituent Documents of such Person or under the Subscription Documents of such Investor. At any time during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default, if there are any Obligations outstanding, neither the Investment Advisor nor the Borrower may receive or collect, directly or indirectly, any amount upon the Subordinated Claims, other than to obtain funds required to pay such Obligations.

170

(b) Any Liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges, or other encumbrances upon any Person’s assets securing payment of Subordinated Claims, including, but not limited to, any Liens or security interests on an Investor’s Subscribed Interest in the Borrower, will be and remain inferior and subordinate in right of payment and of security to any Liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges, or other encumbrances securing all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to any of the Security Documents, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of the Investment Advisor or the Borrower presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither the Investment Advisor nor the Borrower may: (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s or equityholder’s right it may have against an Investor (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, giving notice to an Investor of a failure to fund a Capital Call or declare a default on such Investor in accordance with the applicable Constituent Documents and Subscription Documents); (b) foreclose, repossess, sequester, or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including, without limitation, the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief, or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any Liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interest, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of such Investor held by such Person; or (c) exercise any rights or remedies against an Investor under the Constituent Documents of such Person or the Subscription Documents of such Investor; provided that, any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties in the Borrower’s name (in each case, taken in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents), or any action taken by the Borrower that is required under any Loan Document or to comply with any Loan Document, will not be a violation of this Section 9.18.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.18 shall not restrict or otherwise limit (i) any Company from making any Permitted Tax Distributions or (ii) the right of any Company to pay, and any Investment Advisor (or any Affiliate thereof) to receive, management or other fees (including incentive management fees) or expenses payable to the Investment Advisor (or such Affiliate) under or pursuant to any Affiliate Agreement.

Section 9.19. Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

171

(b) As used in this Section 9.19, the following terms have the following meanings:

(i) “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k)) of such party.

(ii) “Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(A) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R.§ 252.82(b);

(B) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R.§ 47.3(b); or

(iii) “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

(iv) “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 5390(c)(8)(D).

Eligibility Criteria

A Portfolio Investment shall not be an Eligible Portfolio Investment on any date of determination unless it meets all of the following criteria:

(a) If an Investment in Indebtedness other than a High Yield Security that is held through DTC and has been credited to a Custodian Account pursuant to the terms of a Custody Agreement is evidenced by an original promissory note registered in the name of an Obligor, such promissory note is delivered to the Custodian and credited to a Custodian Account pursuant to the terms of a Custody Agreement; provided, however, that solely in the case of Portfolio Investments in which the Collateral Agent has a first priority perfected security interest pursuant to a valid Uniform Commercial Code filing, (x) if such Portfolio Investment is acquired by the Obligor after the Effective Date, the Borrower shall have up to 10 Business Days following the acquisition of such Portfolio Investment to deliver any original promissory note with respect to such Portfolio Investment to the Custodian or the Collateral Agent and (y) as a result of the syndication, sale, transfer, assignment or exchange of a portion of a Portfolio Investment the Borrower shall have up to 20 Business Days to return, transfer, assign or exchange any promissory note with respect to such Portfolio Investment and deliver any new or additional promissory notes to the Custodian or the Collateral Agent (it being understood that during the time periods in clauses (x) and (y) above only the portion of such Portfolio Investment that has not been syndicated, sold, transferred, assigned or exchanged shall satisfy the criteria specified in this paragraph 1(a));

(b) If any Investment in Indebtedness, (x) the Custodian shall have received originals or copies (electronic or otherwise) of each of the following, to the extent applicable, any related loan agreement, credit agreement, note purchase agreement, security agreement (if separate from any mortgage), sale and servicing agreement, acquisition agreement pursuant to which such Investment was acquired, subordination agreement, intercreditor agreement or similar instruments, guarantee, assumption or substitution agreement or similar material operative document, in each case together with any amendment or modification thereto (the “Portfolio Investment Documents”); and (y) all documentation evidencing or otherwise relating to such Portfolio Investment has been duly authorized and executed, is in full force and effect and is the legal, binding and enforceable obligation of the parties thereto and has been delivered to the Custodian;

(c) If the Borrower or any of its Affiliates hold a Portfolio Investment in the same issuer and such investment is evidenced by a promissory note, the Borrower and such applicable Affiliate(s) shall hold separate promissory notes registered in the name of the Borrower and such applicable Affiliate(s), respectively, representing its respective interest in such issuer; and

(d) The Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent copies of each Portfolio Investment Document, which delivery may be accomplished by uploading .pdf copies of such documents to an online data room or other file sharing system to which the Administrative Agent has access. Such Portfolio Investment, whether originated directly or purchased, was underwritten and closed in all material respects in accordance with the Investment Policies.

Such Portfolio Investment, whether originated directly or purchased, was underwritten and closed in all material respects in accordance with the applicable Investment Policies;

If the issuer of such Portfolio Investment is a “Debtor” (as defined in the definition of “DIP Loan”) and such Portfolio Investment is a Bank Loan, such Portfolio Investment meets the other criteria set forth in the definition of “DIP Loan”;

Such Portfolio Investment is Transferable (as defined below);

Such Portfolio Investment is not a Defaulted Obligation or, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which may be withheld in its sole discretion, a Restructured Investment;
