Thereafter, 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 Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section.  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 holding the Loans constituting such Borrowing, 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 telephone 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 telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or electronic communication to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower. 
(c)Content of Interest Election Requests.  Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
(i)the Borrowing 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 the relevant Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and 


     31 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







(iv)if the resulting Borrowing is 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).  
(d)Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders.  Promptly following 
receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each 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 Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Eurocurrency Borrowing having 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 an Event of Default is continuing no outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing may have an Interest Period of more than one month’s duration. 
SECTION 2.07.     Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. 
(a)Scheduled Termination.  Unless previously terminated, the Commitments 
shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date. 
(b)Voluntary Termination or Reduction.  The Borrower may at any time 
terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is $10,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of the Commitments) or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.09, the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments. 
(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 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 Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state 


     32 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other events, including 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 shall be permanent.  Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 
SECTION 2.08.     Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 
(a)Repayment.  The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Loans 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 2.09(d), prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment; provided that, each repayment of Borrowings shall be applied to repay any outstanding ABR Borrowings before any other Borrowings.  If the Borrower fails to make a timely selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings, and second, to any remaining Borrowings 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 of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing. 
(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 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 of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender of hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
(e)Effect of Entries.  The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to 


     33 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence, absent obvious 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. 
(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 registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower).  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 registered assigns). 
SECTION 2.09.     Prepayment of Loans. 
		
	(a)
	Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower shall have the right at any time and 


from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty except for payments under Section 2.15, subject to the requirements of this Section. 
		
	(b)
	[Reserved]. 


		
	(c)
	Mandatory Prepayments due to Borrowing Base Deficiency.  In the event 


that at any time any Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in such amounts as shall be necessary so that such Borrowing Base Deficiency is immediately cured, provided that if, within five Business Days after delivery of a Borrowing Base Certificate demonstrating such Borrowing Base Deficiency (and/or at such other times as the Borrower has knowledge of such Borrowing Base Deficiency), the Borrower shall present the Administrative Agent with a reasonably feasible plan that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to enable such Borrowing Base Deficiency to be cured within 30 Business Days (which 30Business Day period shall include the five Business Days permitted for delivery of such plan), then such prepayment or reduction shall not be required to be effected immediately but may be effected in accordance with such plan (with such modifications as the Borrower may reasonably determine), so long as such Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured within such 30-Business Day period. 
		
	(d)
	Mandatory Prepayments due to Certain Events. 


(i)Asset Sales.  In the event that any Obligor shall receive any Net Asset Sale Proceeds at any time after the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower shall, no later than the third Business Day following the receipt of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to (A) if the Obligors have in aggregate less than 12 


     34 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







Portfolio Investments, one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds, (B) if the Obligors have in aggregate 12 or more but less than 15 Portfolio Investments, fifty percent (50%) of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds, and (C) if the Obligors have in aggregate 15 or more Portfolio Investments, zero percent (0%) of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Net Asset Sale Proceeds from the sale of the Obligors’ 
15th Portfolio Investment shall be subject to a prepayment rate of 50% of such Net Asset 
Sale Proceeds and the Net Asset Sale Proceeds from the sale of the Obligors’ 12th Portfolio Investment shall be subject to a prepayment rate of 100% of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds. 
(ii)Extraordinary Receipts.  In the event that any Obligor shall receive any Extraordinary Receipts at any time after the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower shall, no later than the third Business Day following the receipt of such Extraordinary Receipts, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to (A) if the Obligors have in aggregate less than 12 Portfolio Investments, one hundred percent (100%) of such Extraordinary Receipts, (B) if the Obligors have in aggregate 12 or more but less than 15 Portfolio Investments, fifty percent (50%) of such Extraordinary Receipts, and (C) if the Obligors have in aggregate 15 or more Portfolio Investments, zero percent (0%) of such Extraordinary Receipts. 
(iii)Returns of Capital.  In the event that any Obligor shall receive any Return of Capital at any time after the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower shall, no later than the third Business Day following the receipt of such Return of Capital, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to (A) if the Obligors have in aggregate less than 12 Portfolio Investments, one hundred percent (100%) of such Return of Capital, (B) if the Obligors have in aggregate 12 or more but less than 15 Portfolio Investments, fifty percent (50%) of such Return of Capital, and (C) if the Obligors have in aggregate 15 or more Portfolio Investments, zero percent (0%) of such Return of Capital. 
(iv)Equity Issuances.  In the event that the Borrower shall receive any Cash proceeds from the issuance of Equity Interests of the Borrower at any time after the Restatement Effective Date (excluding Cash proceeds received by the Borrower consisting of capital calls from its partners in respect of their existing partnership interests), the Borrower shall, no later than the third Business Day following the receipt of such Cash proceeds, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Cash proceeds net of underwriting discounts and commissions or similar payments, taxes and other fees, commissions, premiums and other reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses. 
(v)Indebtedness.  In the event that any Obligor shall receive any Cash proceeds from the issuance of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.01(e), (f), (g) and (j)) at any time, such Obligor shall, no later than the third 


     35 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







Business Day following the receipt of such Cash proceeds, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Cash proceeds net of underwriting discounts and commissions or other similar payments, taxes and other fees, commissions, premiums and reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses. 
(vi)Prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans.  To the extent the Loans to be prepaid from proceeds from any of the events described in subsections (i) through (v) above are Eurocurrency Loans, the Borrower may defer such prepayment until the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loans, so long as the Borrower deposits an amount equal to the amount of such prepayment, no later than the third Business Day following the receipt of such proceeds, into a segregated collateral account in the name and under the dominion and control of the Administrative Agent pending application of such amount to the prepayment of the Loans on the last day of such Interest Period. 
Notwithstanding the above, the Borrower shall only be required to apply Net Asset Sale Proceeds, Extraordinary Receipts and Return of Capital to prepay the Loans as described in subsections (i) through (iii) above if the cumulative aggregate amount of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds, Extraordinary Receipts and Return of Capital, from time to time, net of amounts of Loans theretofore prepaid therefrom exceeds $5,000,000. 
		
	(e)
	[Reserved]. 


		
	(f)
	Notices, Etc.  The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by 


telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic communication) of any prepayment hereunder 
(i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, a notice of optional prepayment may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other events, in which case such notice of prepayment 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.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment or scheduled payment.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.11 and shall be made in the manner specified in Section 2.08(b).  For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the Commitment Termination Date, any amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section may be reborrowed pursuant to this Agreement.

#4841-8625-7971v16 







SECTION 2.10.     Fees 
(a)Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue for the period beginning on the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of the date such Commitment terminates and the Commitment Termination Date, at a rate equal to (x) 1.00% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender if the Revolving Credit Exposure for such Lender for such day is less than or equal to sixty percent (60%) of such Lender’s 
Commitment and (y) 0.375% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender if the Revolving Credit Exposure for such Lender for such day is greater than sixty percent (60%) of such Lender’s Commitment.  Accrued commitment fees shall be payable within one Business Day after each Quarterly Date and on the Commitment Termination Date.  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). 
(b)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. 
(c)Payment of Fees.  All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates 
due, in Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent 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 the requirements of an invoice are not otherwise specified in this Agreement, shall be due (subject to the other terms and conditions contained herein) within ten Business Days of the date that the Borrower receives from the Administrative Agent a reasonably detailed invoice for such reimbursement obligations. 
SECTION 2.11.     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)
	Eurocurrency Loans.  The Loans constituting each Eurocurrency 


Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the related Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. 
		
	(c)
	Default Interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), if any 


principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. 


     37 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







		
	(d)
	Payment of Interest.  Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in 


arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon the Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) 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 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. 
SECTION 2.12.     Market Disruption, Alternate Rate of Interest and Illegality.  
(a)If at the time that the Administrative Agent shall seek to determine the 
Reference Bank Rate less than two Reference Banks shall supply a rate to the Administrative Agent for purposes of determining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurocurrency Borrowing, then such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing at the Alternate Base Rate (such rate, the “COF Rate”).  
(b)If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:  
(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 Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for a Loan for the applicable Interest Period; or 
(ii)the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for a Loan for the applicable Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period, 
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy 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, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Eurocurrency Borrowing to, or continuation of any Eurocurrency Borrowing for the applicable Interest Period, shall be ineffective, and (B) such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided, further that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. 
(c)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it 
becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurocurrency Borrowings hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), such Lender’s obligation to 


     38 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







make, convert or continue Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make or maintain Eurocurrency Borrowings, and if applicable law shall so mandate, such Lender’s Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be prepaid by the Borrower, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement, on or before such date as shall be mandated by such applicable law. 
SECTION 2.13.     Computation of Interest.  All interest hereunder shall be 
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that ABR Borrowings, at times 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, as the case may be, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or Eurocurrency Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
SECTION 2.14.     Increased Costs. 
(a)     If any Change in Law shall: 
(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, compulsory loan, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or 
(ii)impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense, affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender; 
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost (other than costs which are (A) Indemnified Taxes, or (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of 
Excluded Taxes) to such Lenders of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
		
	(b)
	Capital Requirements.  If any Lender 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 holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), by an amount deemed to be material by such Lender, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, in Dollars, such additional amount 


     39 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
		
	(c)
	Certificates from Lenders.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth in 


reasonable detail the basis for and the calculation of the amount or amounts, in Dollars, necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be promptly delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof. 
		
	(d)
	Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand 


compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
SECTION 2.15.     Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment 
of any principal of any 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 Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.09(f) and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19(b) of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each affected Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (excluding loss of anticipated profits).  In the case of a 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 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 the Adjusted LIBO 
Rate for such Interest Period, over 


     40 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







(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 Dollars from other banks in the eurocurrency market at the commencement of such period. 
Payment under this Section shall be made upon request of a Lender delivered not later than ten 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 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 10 Business Days after receipt thereof. 
SECTION 2.16.     Taxes. 
(a)Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any 
obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then (i) the Borrower shall make such deductions or withholding, (ii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. 
(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  In addition, the Borrower shall 
pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
(c)Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for, and within 30 Business Days after written demand therefor, pay the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, except for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, 


     41 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
(d)Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower 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. 
(e)Foreign Lenders.  Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption 
from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. 
In addition, any Foreign 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Foreign Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is resident for tax 
purposes in the United States, any 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) whichever of the following is applicable: 
(i)duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or any successor form claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the 
United States is a party, 
(ii)duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service 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, 
(iii)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate to the effect that such 
Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue

Service Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form) certifying that the Foreign Lender is not a United States Person, or 
(iv)any other form including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY as applicable prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
In addition, upon reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 
each Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender, provided it is legally able to do so at the time.  Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time the chief tax officer of such Foreign Lender becomes aware that it no longer satisfies the legal requirements to provide any previously delivered form or certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. or other taxing authorities for such purpose). 
		
	(f)
	United States Lenders.  Each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall 


deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, upon the expiration or invalidity of any forms previously delivered and at times reasonably requested by the Borrower, duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor form. 
		
	(g)
	FATCA.  If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would 


be subject to United States 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
		
	(h)
	Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender 


determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund or credit (in lieu of such refund) of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-ofpocket 


     43 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







expenses of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, 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 Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, or any Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or any Lender 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 or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent, or such Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender 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)
	Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 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 and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 
SECTION 2.17.     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 or fees, or under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim.  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 payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 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 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 Section 2.14, and payments required under Section 2.15 relating to any Loan) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) are payable in Dollars.

#4841-8625-7971v16 







		
	(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, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 
		
	(c)
	Pro Rata Treatment.  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:  


(i) each Borrowing shall be made from the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments under Section 2.07 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (ii) each Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment of commitment fees under Section 2.10 shall be made for account of the 
Lenders pro rata according to the average daily unused amounts of their respective 
Commitments; (iv) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; and (v) each payment of interest on Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to such Lenders. 
		
	(d)
	Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender 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 resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon then due than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; 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 to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate 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. 


     45 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







		
	(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 account of the Lenders 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 the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender 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 2.05(b) or 2.17(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
SECTION 2.18.     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 2.10(a) shall cease to accrue on the 
unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; and 
(b)the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender, including as set forth in Section 9.02(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the proviso following Section 9.02(b)(v)), shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 
In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a 
Defaulting Lender, then such Lender shall no longer be deemed a Defaulting Lender and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the 
Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

#4841-8625-7971v16 







SECTION 2.19.     Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
		
	(a)
	Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests 


compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any cost or expense not required to be reimbursed by the Borrower 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.  If any Lender requests compensation under 


Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with clause (a) above, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or is a non-consenting Lender (that the Borrower is permitted to replace as provided in Section 9.02(d)), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.14 and Section 2.16) 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) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including, without limitation, any amounts under Section 2.15), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (iv) in the case of any assignment as a result of a non-consenting Lender (that the Borrower is permitted to replace as provided in Section 9.02(d)), the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.  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 Lender.  If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required 




     47 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05 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 for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the 
Administrative Agent 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 (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. 
SECTION 2.20.     Extension of Maturity Date. 
(a)Extension.  The Borrower, upon providing written notice to the Administrative Agent no earlier than 90 days and no later than 30 days prior to July 31, 2020, shall have the right to extend the Maturity Date to July 31, 2021.   
(b)Conditions to Effectiveness of Extension.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
the extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall not be effective unless: 
(i)no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto;  
(ii)each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in each of the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (unless the relevant representation and warranty already contains a materiality qualifier, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such extension after giving effect thereto, as though 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); and  
(iii)the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a non-refundable extension fee equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of the Loans outstanding on such date.

	(a)
	Industry Classification Groups.  For purposes of this Agreement, the 


Borrower, in its reasonable determination, shall assign each Portfolio Investment to an Industry Classification Group.  To the extent that any such Portfolio Investment is not correlated with the risks of other Portfolio Investments in an Industry Classification Group established by Moody’s, such Portfolio Investment may be assigned by the Borrower to an Industry Classification Group that is more closely correlated to such Portfolio Investment.

	(b)
	Portfolio Valuation, Etc. 


(i)Settlement Date Basis.  For purposes of this Agreement, all determinations of whether an investment is to be included as a Portfolio Investment shall be determined on a settlement-date basis (meaning that any investment that has been purchased will not be treated as a Portfolio Investment until such purchase has settled, and any Portfolio Investment which has been sold will not be excluded as a Portfolio Investment until such sale has settled), provided that no such investment shall be included as a Portfolio Investment to the extent it has not been paid for in full. 
(ii)Determination of Values.  The Borrower will conduct reviews of the value to be assigned to each of its Portfolio Investments as follows: 
(A)     Quoted Investments—External Review.  With respect to Portfolio Investments (including Cash Equivalents) 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 Portfolio Investments which shall, in each case, be determined in accordance with one of the following methodologies (as selected by the Borrower): 
(w)in the case of public and 144A securities, the average of the bid prices as determined by two Approved Dealers selected by the 
Borrower, 
(x)in the case of bank loans, the average of the 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, 


     64 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







(y)in the case of any Quoted Investment traded on an exchange, the closing price for such Portfolio 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 
Portfolio Investments for which market quotations are not readily available (“Unquoted Investments”), the Borrower shall value such Unquoted Investments quarterly in a manner consistent with its “Valuation Policy”, as the same may be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time consistent with standard industry practice and in a manner not prohibited by this Agreement (the “Valuation Policy”), including valuation of at least 35% by value of all Unquoted Investments included in the Borrowing Base using the assistance of an Approved Third Party Appraiser; provided that each Unquoted Investment shall be so valued at least once per annum. 
(C)    Internal Review.  The Borrower shall conduct an internal review of the aggregate value of the Portfolio Investments included in the Borrowing Base, and of the Borrowing Base, at least once each calendar week which shall take into account any events of which the Borrower has knowledge that materially adversely affects the aggregate value of the Portfolio Investments included in the Borrowing Base or the Borrowing Base.  If, based upon such weekly internal review, the Borrower determines that a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, then the Borrower shall, within five Business Days as provided in Section 5.01(c), deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting the new amount of the Borrowing Base and shall take the actions, and make the payments and prepayments, all as more specifically set forth in Section 2.09(c). 
(D)    Failure to Determine Values.  If the Borrower shall fail to determine the value of any Portfolio Investment as at any date pursuant to the requirements of the foregoing sub-clauses (A) through (C), the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment as at such date shall be deemed to be zero. 
(iii)Scheduled Testing of Values. 
(A)Each February 28, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each calendar year, commencing on April 30, 2016 (or such other dates as are agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, but in no event less frequently than once per calendar quarter, each a “Valuation Testing Date”), the Administrative Agent through an Independent Valuation Provider will test the values determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) above of those Portfolio 


     65 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







Investments included in the Borrowing Base selected by the Administrative Agent; provided, that the aggregate fair value of such Portfolio Investments tested on any Valuation Testing Date will be equal to the Tested Amount (as defined below) (or as near thereto as reasonably practical).  For the avoidance of doubt, Portfolio Investments that are part of the Collateral but not included in the 
Borrowing Base shall not be subject to testing under this Section 5.12(b)(iii). 
(B)For purposes of this Agreement, the “Tested Amount” shall be equal to approximately 25% of the aggregate value of all Unquoted Investments included in the Borrowing Base (as of the applicable Valuation Testing Date). 
(C)With respect to any Portfolio Investment, if the value of such Portfolio Investment determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) is not more than the lesser of (1) five (5) points more than the midpoint of the valuation range (expressed as a percent of par) provided by the Independent Valuation Provider (provided that the value of such Portfolio Investment is customarily quoted as a percentage of par) and (2) 110% of the midpoint of the valuation range provided by the Independent Valuation Provider, then the value for such Portfolio Investment determined in accordance with Section 5.12(b)(ii) shall be continue to be used as the “Value” for purposes of this Agreement.  If the value of any Portfolio Investment determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) is more than the lesser of the values set forth in clause (C)(1) and (2) (to the extent applicable), then for such Portfolio Investment, the “Value” for purposes of this Agreement shall become the lesser of (x) the highest value of the valuation range provided by the Independent Valuation Provider, (y) five (5) points more than the midpoint of the valuation range (expressed as a percent of par) provided by the Independent Valuation Provider (provided that the value of such Portfolio Investment is customarily quoted as a percentage of par) and (z) 110% of the midpoint of the valuation range provided by the Independent Valuation Provider.  For the avoidance of doubt, any values determined by the Independent Valuation Provider pursuant to this Section 5.12(b)(iii) or Section 5.12(b)(iv) shall be used solely for purposes of determining the “Value” of a Portfolio Investment under this Agreement and shall not be deemed to be the fair value of such asset as required under ASC 820, for purposes of the Borrower’s financial statements and the Investment Company Act. 
(iv)     Supplemental Testing of Values. 
(A)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, individually or at the request of the Required Lenders, shall at any time have the right to request, in its reasonable discretion, any Portfolio Investment included in the Borrowing Base with a value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) to be 


     66 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







independently tested by the Independent Valuation Provider.  There shall be no limit on the number of such tests that may be requested by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided that, all such tests shall be conducted in such a manner not disruptive in any material respect to the business of the Borrower.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of its receipt of the final results of any such test promptly upon its receipt thereof and shall provide a copy of such results and the related report to (i) the Borrower promptly upon receipt and (ii) any Lender upon such Lender’s request; provided that such Lender, if required, has entered into an agreement with the Independent Valuation Provider governing the use of the information contained in such report.  If (x) the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) is less than the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider, then the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) shall continue to be used as the “Value” for purposes of this Agreement and (y) if the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) is greater than the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider and the difference between such values is:  (1) less than 5% of the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii), then the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) shall continue to be used as the “Value” for purposes of this Agreement; (2) between 5% and 20% of the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii), then the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment for purposes of this Agreement shall become the average of the value determined pursuant to 
Section 5.12(b)(ii) and the value determined by such Independent Valuation 
Provider; and (3) greater than 20% of the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii), then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall retain an additional third-party appraiser and the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment for purposes of this Agreement shall become the average of the three valuations (with the Independent Valuation Provider’s value to be used as the “Value” until the third value is obtained).  For the avoidance of doubt, Portfolio Investments that are part of the Collateral but which the Borrower has not expressly included in the Borrowing Base shall not be subject to testing under this Section 5.12(b)(iv). 
(B)Except as otherwise provided herein, 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.  The Independent Valuation Provider shall apply a recognized valuation methodology that is commonly accepted by the business development company industry for valuing Portfolio Investments of the type being valued and held by the Obligors. 
(C)All valuations shall be on a settlement date basis.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Value of any Portfolio Investment determined in 


     67 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







accordance with 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 (or required to be determined) in good faith in accordance with this Section 5.12. 
(D)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. 
(E)In addition, the values determined by the Independent Valuation 
Provider shall be deemed to be “Information” hereunder and subject to Section 9.13 hereof. 
SECTION 5.13.     Calculation of Borrowing Base.  For purposes of this 
Agreement, the “Borrowing Base” shall be determined, as at any date of determination, as the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (x) the Value of each Portfolio Investment by (y) the applicable Advance Rate, provided that: 
(a)the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of all Portfolio Investments issued by one or more members of any one consolidated group of corporations or other entities in accordance with GAAP exceeding 7.5% and less than 12.5% of the aggregate Value of all Unadjusted Eligible Portfolio Investments, shall be 
50% of the otherwise applicable Advance Rate; 
(b)the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of all Portfolio Investments issued by one or more members of any one consolidated group of corporations or other entities in accordance with GAAP exceeding 12.5% of the aggregate Value of all Unadjusted Eligible Portfolio Investments shall be 0%; 
(c)the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the aggregate Value of the Portfolio Investments in (i) the largest Industry Classification Group that exceeds 20% of the aggregate Value of all Unadjusted Eligible Portfolio Investments and (ii) any other Industry Classification Group that exceeds 15% of the aggregate Value of all Unadjusted 
Eligible Portfolio Investments shall, in each case be 0%; 
(d)the Advance Rate applicable to CDO Securities (including collateralized loan obligations or other investments that similarly represent an investment in underlying levered portfolios), finance leases, joint ventures, investment funds and any other investment type not listed in the definition of “Advance Rate” below, shall be 0%; 
(e)the aggregate Borrowing Base contribution of the Borrower’s investments in Cash, Cash Equivalents, Short-Term U.S. Government Securities, Performing First Lien Bank Loans, Second Out Portions of Performing Unitranche Bank Loans and 
Performing Second Lien Bank Loans may not be less than 80% of the Borrowing Base; 


     68 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







(f)the aggregate Borrowing Base contribution of the Borrower’s investments in Cash, Cash Equivalents, Short-Term U.S. Government Securities and Performing First Lien Bank Loans (collectively, the “Aggregate First Lien Contribution”) may not be less than (i) 40% of the Borrowing Base if the Obligors have in aggregate 15 or more Portfolio Investments, (ii) 45% of the Borrowing Base if the Obligors have in aggregate 
12 or more but less than 15 Portfolio Investments, (iii) 50% of the Borrowing Base if the 
Obligors have 10 or more but less than 12 Portfolio Investments, and (iv) 55% of the 
Borrowing Base if the Obligors have 8 or more but less than 10 Portfolio Investments;  
(g)(i) during the period from the Restatement Effective Date to and including the Commitment Termination Date, the Borrowing Base shall at all times include at least 12 individual Portfolio Investments and (ii) during the period after the Commitment Termination Date to the Maturity Date, the Borrowing Base shall at all times include at least 8 individual Portfolio Investments; 
(h)Following the application of (a) through (g) above, if at any time the weighted average maturity of all Portfolio Investments (based on the Value of Portfolio 
Investments to the extent included in the Borrowing Base) exceeds six (6) years, the Borrower shall specify which Portfolio Investments shall be removed from the calculation of the Borrowing Base (but not from the Collateral) such that the weighted average maturity of all Portfolio Investments included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base is no greater than 6 years (subject to all other constraints, limitations and restrictions set forth herein); and 
(i)no Portfolio Investment may be included in the Borrowing Base until such time as such Portfolio Investment has been Delivered (as defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement) to the Collateral Agent, and then only for so long as such Portfolio Investment continues to be Delivered as contemplated therein; provided that in the case of any Portfolio Investment in which the Collateral Agent has a first-priority perfected security interest pursuant to a valid Uniform Commercial Code filing (and for which no other method of perfection with a higher priority is possible), such Portfolio Investment may be included in the Borrowing Base so long as all remaining actions to complete “Delivery” are satisfied within 7 days of such inclusion. 
For the avoidance of doubt, to avoid double-counting of excess concentrations, 
any Advance Rate reductions set forth under this Section 5.13 shall be without duplication of any other such Advance Rate reductions. 
As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings: 
“Advance Rate” means, as to any Portfolio Investment and subject to adjustment 
as provided in Section 5.13(a) through (g), (i) in the event that (A) the Obligors have in 


     69 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







aggregate 15 or more Portfolio Investments and (B) the Aggregate First Lien Contribution is greater than or equal to 50% of the Borrowing Base, the applicable percentage as set forth in Table I below with respect to such Portfolio Investment, and (ii) in all other instances, the applicable percentage with respect to such Portfolio Investment as set forth in Table II below:

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this 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, or (v) 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 the Administrative Agent. 
The Administrative 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 the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  The Administrative 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. 
The Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative 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 the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders 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 (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in consultation with the Borrower), to appoint a successor.  If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring 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 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 Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative 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 Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article 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 Administrative Agent. 
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon 
the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall 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. 
Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02(b) with respect to this Agreement, 
the Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (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, the Administrative Agent shall not (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, alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the benefits of the Liens created under the Security Documents with respect to all or 


     90 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







substantially all of the Collateral, except that no such consent shall be required, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to (1) 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 have consented, and (2) spread any Liens to any Hedging Agreement Obligations (as such term is defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement) in accordance with the Guarantee and Security Agreement.

The Administrative Agent or 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 otherwise notified by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, the Borrower may satisfy its obligation to deliver 


     91 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







documents or notices to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under Sections 5.01 and 5.12(a) by delivering an electronic copy to:  covenant.compliance@jpmorgan.com with copy to lauren.mayer@jpmorgan.com, hannah.j.needham@jpmorgan.com and michael.e.kusner@jpmorgan.com, or such other e-mail address(es) as provided to the Borrower in a notice from the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide notice thereof to the Lenders). 


Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other

In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender have any liability to the Borrower or any other Person for damages of any kind (whether in tort contract or otherwise) arising out of any transmission of communications through the internet, except in the case of direct damages, to the extent such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such relevant Person. 
(c)     Documents to be Delivered under Sections 5.01 and 5.12(a).  For so long 
as an IntralinksTM or equivalent website is available to each of the Lenders hereunder, the Borrower may satisfy its obligation to deliver documents to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under Sections 5.01 and 5.12(a) by delivering either an electronic copy in the manner specified in Section 9.01(b) or a notice identifying the website where such information is located for posting by the Administrative Agent on IntralinksTM or such equivalent website, provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to maintain access to intralinks or an equivalent website. 
SECTION 9.02.     Waivers; Amendments. 
(a)No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent 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 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 any Obligor 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 


     92 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such 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 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 reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each 
Lender directly affected thereby, 
(iii)postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable 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, 
(iv)change Section 2.17(b), (c) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, or 
(v)change any of the provisions of this Section or 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; 
provided further that (x) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and (y) the consent of Lenders holding not less than two-thirds of the Revolving Credit Exposure and unused Commitments will be required (A) for any adverse change (from the Lenders’ perspective) affecting the provisions of this Agreement relating to the calculation of the Borrowing Base (excluding changes to the provisions of Section 5.12(b)(iii) or (iv), but including changes to the definitions set forth in Section 5.13) unless otherwise expressly provided herein and (B) for any release of Collateral other than for fair value or as otherwise permitted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. 


     93 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







For purposes of this Section, the “scheduled date of payment” of any amount shall refer to the date of payment of such amount specified in this Agreement, and shall not refer to a date or other event specified for the mandatory or optional prepayment of such amount.  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. 


		
	(c)
	Amendments to Security Documents.  No Security Document nor any 


provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified, nor may the Liens thereof be spread to secure any additional obligations (excluding the spreading of such Liens to any Hedging Agreement Obligations (as such term is defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement) as provided for in the Guarantee and Security Agreement) 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, except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Loan Documents, (i) without the written consent of each Lender, no such agreement shall release all or substantially all of the Obligors from their respective obligations under the Security Documents and (ii) without the written consent of each Lender, no such agreement shall release all or substantially all of the collateral security or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the Liens under the Security Documents, 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 all or substantially all of the collateral security provided thereby, or release all or substantially all of the guarantors under the Guarantee and Security Agreement from their guarantee obligations thereunder, except that no such consent 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, and in addition to the rights of such parties under the Guarantee and Security Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under the Guarantee and Security Agreement may (in addition to the rights of such parties under the Guarantee and Security Agreement), 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 have consented. 
		
	(d)
	Replacement of Non-Consenting Lender.  If, in connection with any 


proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by this Section 9.02 that has been approved by the Required Lenders, the consent of one or more Lenders whose consent is required for such proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination is not obtained, then (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) 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 2.19(b) so long as at the time of such replacement, each such replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination. 
SECTION 9.03.     Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 


     94 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







		
	(a)

documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), subject to any limitation previously agreed in writing, (ii) all documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the documented fees, charges and disbursements of one outside counsel (and any additional outside counsel should any conflict of interest arise) for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, 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 documented out-ofpocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof and (iii) and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other charges 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. 
		
	(b)
	Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify the 


Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers 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 2.16), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any outside counsel for any Indemnitee, 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, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom 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 regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; 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 arisen from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee.  No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
The Borrower shall not be liable to any Indemnitee for any special, indirect, 
consequential or punitive damages arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of the Transactions asserted by an Indemnitee against the Borrower or any other Obligor, provided that the foregoing 


     95 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







limitation shall not be deemed to impair or affect the obligations of the 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 the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent 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 the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

	Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the extent permitted by 


applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and 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 the use of the proceeds thereof. 
		
	(e)
	Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly 


after written demand therefor. 
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, 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 its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
		
	(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 at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 


     96 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







(A)    the Borrower, provided, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; provided further, that 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 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof; and (B)     the Administrative Agent. 
(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, the amount of the Commitment or Loans 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 U.S. $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
(B)    each partial assignment of Commitments or Loans 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 or Loans; 
(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 U.S. $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 Guarantors shall not be obligated); and 
(D)    the assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; 
(E)    unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such assignee is not a Competitor. 
(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, 


     97 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







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 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment).  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 (e) of this Section. 
		
	(c)
	Maintenance of Registers by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative 


Agent, acting for this purpose as an 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 absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may 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 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. 
(e)Participations.  Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, sell 
participations to one or more banks or other entities (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 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, 


     98 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







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 (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.  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 2.17(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 Commitments or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “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 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 or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 
(f)Limitations on Rights of Participants.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender and in the case of a Participant claiming exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, the applicable Lender shall provide the Borrower with satisfactory evidence that the participation is in registered form and shall permit the Borrower to review such register as reasonably needed for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under applicable laws and regulations. 
(g)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 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. 
(h)No Assignments to Natural Persons or the Borrower or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries.  Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or 


     99 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to (i) any natural person or (ii) the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
SECTION 9.05.     Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and 
warranties made by the any Obligor 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, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any 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 and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 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 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 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.

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.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred

The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

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.

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 EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 


     103 
#4841-8625-7971v16

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 
SECTION 9.16.     No Fiduciary Duty.  Each Lender and its Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Obligors, their stockholders and/or their affiliates.  Each Obligor agrees that nothing in the Agreement or the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Obligor, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other.  The Obligors 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 Lenders, on the one hand, and the Obligors, on the other, and (ii) solely in connection therewith and solely with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Obligor, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Obligor, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Obligor except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Obligor, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person.  Each Obligor 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 the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the process leading thereto.  Each Obligor agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Obligor, solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the process leading thereto. 
SECTION 9.17.     Termination.  Promptly upon the Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall direct the Collateral Agent to, on behalf of the Administrative Agent, 


     104 
#4841-8625-7971v16 







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 9.18.     Lender Representations.  Until such time as the Borrower 
becomes a registered investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act (or is exempted from registration thereto other than pursuant to Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act) and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Lender and each Participant hereby represents and warrants that it is a “qualified purchaser” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.
