Each Borrowing hereunder shall be made by a single Borrower (it being understood and agreed that any Qualified Borrower’s Obligations shall be guaranteed by the Initial Borrower in accordance with Section 2.9 hereof).  The applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice at the Agency Services Address of the date of each requested Borrowing hereunder, which notice may be by telephone, if confirmed in writing, facsimile, electronic mail, or other written communication substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (a “Request for Borrowing”). Each Request for Borrowing: (a) shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent no later than the Specified Time; and (b) must specify: (i) the amount of such Borrowing; (ii) the Interest Option; (iii) in the case of a request for LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period therefor and currency (which shall be, subject to Section 2.2 hereof, US Dollars or an Alternate Currency); and (iv) including a confirmation that such Borrowing will be secured (either directly or indirectly) by a first priority, exclusive security interest and Lien (subject to Permitted Liens), granted to the Secured Parties, in and on 100% of the Unused Commitments of all Investors, which can be satisfied by checking the box next to such confirmation in a Request for Borrowing.  If multiple Borrowers are requesting a Borrowing on the same date, then a separate Request for Borrowing shall be submitted by each applicable Borrower (or such Request for borrowing shall specify the respective amounts being requested by each applicable Borrower).  Any Request for Borrowing received by the Administrative Agent after the Specified Time shall be deemed to have been given by the applicable Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.  No Request for Borrowing shall be required to be delivered in connection with any Borrowing under Section 2.8(g)(i), 2.9(f), 2.12(b), 3.3(c) or 3.3(d) hereof.  
(a) Request for Borrowing.  Each Request for Borrowing shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith and signed by a Responsible Officer of the applicable Borrower), shall be delivered to the Agency Services Address, and shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by the applicable Borrower providing such Request for Borrowing (and, additionally, it is agreed by each other Borrower that it shall also be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by each such Borrower as to itself) that the conditions (other than the qualification that any condition is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or its counsel) specified in Sections 6.1 (with respect to the initial advance under this Credit Agreement), 6.2  and 6.3 hereof (with respect to the initial advance under this Credit Agreement to a Qualified Borrower) have been satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable Borrowing, and that:
(i) The representations and warranties herein (other than those in Section 7.8 hereof, which shall be replaced with the condition in Section 2.3(a)(ii) below) and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Request for Borrowing, with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent of changes in facts or circumstances that have been disclosed in writing to the Administrative 
USActive 53991578.7 7






Agent and do not constitute an Event of Default or a Potential Default or to the extent such representations and warranties relate to an earlier or specific date);
(ii) No Event of Default or, to its knowledge, Potential Default under Section 10.1(a), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (o) or (p) exists and is continuing at such date; 
(iii) Other than as disclosed to the Administrative Agent in writing, the Borrowers have no knowledge or reason to believe any Investor would be entitled to exercise an excuse or exemption right (including any Investment Exclusion Event) under the Initial Borrower’s Constituent Documents, any Subscription Agreement or any Side Letter with respect to any Investment being acquired in whole or in part with any proceeds of the related Loan (provided, that if the Borrowers have disclosed a potential excuse or exemption right (including any Investment Exclusion Event) to the Administrative Agent in writing, the excused portion of the applicable Investor’s or Investors’ Unused Commitment shall be excluded from the calculation of the Available Commitment with respect to the applicable Borrowing, but the requesting Borrower(s) shall not be prohibited from Borrowing upon satisfaction of the other conditions therefor); and 
(iv) After giving effect to such Borrowing (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations as of such date will not exceed the Available Commitment as of such date and (ii) the Alternate Currency Liability as of such date will not exceed the Alternate Currency Sublimit as of such date. 
Each Request for Borrowing shall be revocable, subject to Section 2.3(h) and Borrowers’ compliance with Section 4.6 hereof.
(b) Rollovers.  No later than the Specified Time, the applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice at the Agency Services Address (which notice may be via fax, electronic mail, or by telephone, if confirmed in writing promptly thereafter) substantially in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto (the “Rollover Notice”) whether it desires to renew a LIBOR Loan (other than a LIBOR Loan bearing interest based on Daily LIBOR).  The Rollover Notice shall also specify the length of the Interest Period selected by the applicable Borrower with respect to such Rollover.  Each Rollover Notice shall be revocable, subject to the applicable Borrowers’ compliance with Section 4.6 hereof and the provisions of this paragraph.  If the applicable Borrower fails to timely give the Administrative Agent the Rollover Notice with respect to any LIBOR Loan, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such LIBOR Loan as a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month commencing on the expiration of the preceding Interest Period.  
(c) Conversions.  Any Borrower shall have the right, with respect to: (i) any Reference Rate Loan, on any Business Day (a “LIBOR Conversion Date”), to convert such Reference Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan; (ii) any LIBOR Loan denominated in US Dollars, on any Business Day (a “Reference Rate Conversion Date”), to convert such 
USActive 53991578.7 8






LIBOR Loan to a Reference Rate Loan; or (iii) any Reference Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan denominated in US Dollars (other than a LIBOR Loan bearing interest based on Daily LIBOR), on any Business Day (a “Daily LIBOR Conversion Date”), to convert such Loan to a LIBOR Loan bearing interest based on Daily LIBOR; provided that the applicable Borrower shall, on such Conversion Date, make the payments required by Section 4.6 hereof, if any, in either case, by giving the Administrative Agent written notice at the Agency Services Address (which notice may be via fax, electronic mail, or by telephone (if confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) substantially in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto (a “Conversion Notice”) of such selection no later than the Specified Time. Each Conversion Notice shall be revocable, provided that the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense (other than loss of margin or spread) actually incurred by such Lender, either directly or indirectly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the Borrowing of each Reference Rate Loan hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with any Borrowing related to the drawing under a Letter of Credit under Section 2.8(g) hereof), the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have simultaneously delivered to the Administrative Agent (i) a Conversion Notice to convert such Reference Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan bearing interest based on Daily LIBOR and with a LIBOR Conversion Date that is three (3) Business Days after such date of Borrowing and (ii) a notice that it elects to capitalize the interest due on such Reference Rate Loan as of the related LIBOR Conversation Date pursuant to Section 3.3(d) hereof unless, in the case of any such Borrowing of a Reference Rate Loan, the applicable Borrower provides notice in the related Request for Borrowing that they elect not to convert such Reference Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan.    
(d) Lender Funding Shall be Proportional.  Except to the extent provided in Section 2.3(g) or 2.8(f), each Lender shall make each requested Loan in accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof.
(e) Interest Periods.  No more than a total of fifteen (15) LIBOR Loans may be outstanding hereunder at any one time during the Commitment Period.
(f) Administrative Agent Notification of the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender (and will use good faith efforts to make such notification on the day such notice is timely received from the applicable Borrower(s)) of the receipt of a Request for Borrowing, a Conversion Notice or a Rollover Notice, the amount of the Borrowing and the amount of such Lender’s share of the applicable Loans, the date the Borrowing is to be made, the Interest Option and currency, the Interest Period selected, if applicable, and the applicable rate of interest.
(g) Loan Allocations.  In accordance with Section 2.8(f), the Letter of Credit Issuer may participate exclusively in the Letter of Credit Liability.  As a result of such exclusive participation, the aggregate Principal Obligations may from time to time be allocated among the Lenders in proportions other than their Pro Rata Share. As a result, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the funding of Loans by the Lenders shall be allocated as provided in this Section 2.3(g).  If at any time a Borrowing is 
USActive 53991578.7 9






requested when there is no Letter of Credit Liability outstanding and the existing Loans are allocated in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, such Loan shall be funded by each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.  If at any time a Borrowing is requested at a time when there is Letter of Credit Liability outstanding or if the Loans are not currently allocated among all Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share, the Administrative Agent shall allocate the funding of such Borrowing on a nonratable basis to the Lenders until the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate Principal Obligations are again allocated among all Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share; the purpose of such nonratable allocation being to keep each Lender in a utilized position as close to its Pro Rata Share as possible.  In addition, (i) in the event that a Borrower seeks to obtain the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.8 but the Commitment of the Lender that is the Letter of Credit Issuer is insufficient to support such issuance, the Administrative Agent shall reallocate Loans to the other Lenders so as to create sufficient available Commitment from the Letter of Credit Issuer for the relevant Letter of Credit (and to the extent the Letter of Credit Issuer has an insufficient Commitment to cover such Letter of Credit, then ratably from the other Lenders that participate in such excess Letter of Credit amount pursuant to Section 2.8(c)), provided that (A) such Borrower will be liable in all respects for any breakage or other costs in accordance with Section 4.6 resulting from such reallocation, and (B) any such reallocation pursuant to this Section 2.3(g) which requires a Lender to make a funding shall be subject to the notice and timing provisions with respect to Loans set forth in Section 2.3 and (ii) in the event a Letter of Credit Issuer funds a drawing under a Letter of Credit and such drawing is not reimbursed by the relevant Borrower as set forth in Section 2.8(g), resulting in the aggregate Principal Obligations then being funded in the Currency of such Letter of Credit among the Lenders other than in accordance with their Pro Rata Share, then so long as no Event of Default or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on the next Interest Payment Date or the next date of a Rollover or Conversion with respect to such Loan, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall reallocate Loans to the other Lenders so that all Principal Obligations are funded by the Lenders as close as reasonably possible to their Pro Rata Share, provided that any such reallocation pursuant to this Section 2.3(g) which requires a Lender to make a funding shall be subject to the Administrative Agent giving advance notice sufficient to comply with the applicable time period in Section 2.3 to each such Lender.
(h) Revocability of Requests for Borrowing.  Requests for Borrowings for Reference Rate Loans shall be irrevocable.  Each Request for Borrowing for LIBOR Loans completed and signed by the applicable Borrower in accordance with Section 2.3(a) shall be revocable by such Borrower so long as such revocation is received by the Administrative Agent no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of the Borrowing; provided that the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense (other than loss of margin or spread) actually incurred by such Lender, either directly or indirectly, as a result of any failure by the applicable Borrower to complete such Borrowing, including, without limitation, any loss or expense (other than loss of margin or spread) reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, either directly or indirectly, by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by 
USActive 53991578.7 10






such Lender (including funds obtained by issuing promissory notes or obtaining deposits or loans from third parties) in order to fund such Borrowing except to the extent such loss or expense is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent or applicable Lender setting forth the amount of any such cost, loss or expense, and the basis for the determination thereof and the calculation thereof, shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall, in the absence of a manifest error, be conclusive and binding.
2.4 Minimum Loan Amounts.  Each Loan shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000 (or, if applicable, the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts) (or such other amounts as reasonably agreed by the Administrative Agent); provided that in addition to the foregoing, a Reference Rate Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Lender Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of a Letter of Credit under Section 2.8(g) hereof or that is equal to the amount of any interest payment or unused commitment fees  that are permitted to be capitalized as a Capitalized Interest Loan or a Capitalized Unused Commitment Fee Loan, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.12(b) or Section 3.3(d) hereof, as applicable. 
2.5 Funding.  Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, by no later than the Specified Time, each Lender shall wire-transfer the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of each Borrowing in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Borrower for value and, upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, by no later than the Specified Time, the Administrative Agent shall (i) if the account specified in the related Request for Borrowing is maintained with the Administrative Agent, deposit such proceeds, in immediately available funds, into such account, and (ii) otherwise, initiate a wire transfer of such proceeds to the account specified in the related Request for Borrowing.  The failure of any Lender to advance the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to advance the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of any such Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder. Absent contrary written notice from a Lender, the Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made its Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the applicable borrowing date, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but is not required to), make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount.  If a Lender fails to make its Pro Rata Share of any requested Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the applicable borrowing date, then the Administrative Agent may recover the applicable amount: (a) from such Lender, on demand, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for the period commencing on the date the amount was made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent and ending on (but excluding) the date the Administrative Agent recovers the amount from such Lender; or (b) if such Lender fails to pay such amount within three (3) Business Days of the Administrative Agent’s demand, then from the applicable Borrower by the Required Payment Time; together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to the requested Borrowing for the period commencing on the borrowing date and ending on (but excluding) the date the Administrative Agent recovers the amount from such Borrower.  The liabilities and obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint, and neither the Administrative Agent nor 
USActive 53991578.7 11






any Lender shall be responsible for the performance by any other Lender of its obligations hereunder.  Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.  Each Lender hereunder shall be liable to the Borrowers only for the amount of its respective Lender Commitment.
2.6 Interest.
(a) LIBOR.  The unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin for the applicable Interest Period.
(b) Reference Rate.  The unpaid principal amount of each Reference Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum which shall from day to day be equal to the Reference Rate in effect from day to day plus the Reference Rate Applicable Margin.
(c) Change in Rate; Past Due Amounts; Calculations of Interest.  Interest on the unpaid principal balance of (i) each LIBOR Loan shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days (provided that LIBOR Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling or Australian Dollars shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 365 days (or 366 days, as the case may be)) and (ii) each Reference Rate Loan (other than when the Reference Rate is calculated based off LIBOR) shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 365 days (or 366, as the case may be).  If any principal of, or interest on, the Obligations is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.6(a) or (b) above, as applicable) such overdue amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate until such amount is paid. If any fee payable under this Credit Agreement or any Fee Letter is not paid when due, such overdue amount shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate until such amount is paid.  
2.7 Determination of Rate.  The Administrative Agent shall calculate each interest rate applicable to LIBOR Loans and Reference Rate Loans hereunder in accordance with the terms set forth in this Credit Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Borrower and to the Lenders of each rate of interest so calculated, and its calculation thereof shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.
2.8 Letters of Credit.
(a) Letter of Credit Commitment.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on any Business Day during the Commitment Period, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue Letters of Credit in such aggregate face amounts and currencies as any Borrower may request; provided that: (i) on the date of issuance, the Dollar Equivalent of the Letter of Credit Liability (after giving effect to the issuance of any such Letter of Credit) will not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of: (A) the remainder of: (1) the Available Commitment as of such date minus (2) the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal 
USActive 53991578.7 12






Obligations (excluding the Letter of Credit Liability) as of such date and (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit on such date; (ii) the expiry date of each Letter of Credit shall not be later than the earlier of (A) twelve (12) months after the date of issuance without the Administrative Agent’s and the Letter of Credit Issuer’s consent, in their sole discretion, or (B) thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date, provided, however, that (1) a Borrower may request, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue, a Letter of Credit that has extension provisions for an automatic extension for twelve (12) months from the initial expiry date thereof or any future expiry date, so long as such Letter of Credit permits the Letter of Credit Issuer to elect not to extend the Letter of Credit for any such additional period by written notice to such Borrower and beneficiary at least thirty (30) days prior to the relevant expiry date, and (2) the Letter of Credit Issuer may issue one or more Letters of Credit with expiry dates later than the date set forth in the foregoing clause (B), so long as the Borrowers, with respect to any Letter of Credit with an expiry date beyond the Stated Maturity Date, obtain the Letter of Credit Issuer’s consent, in their sole discretion, and Cash Collateralize such Letter(s) of Credit (in the Currency of such Letter(s) of Credit unless otherwise consented to by all Lenders in their sole discretion) at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the Stated Maturity Date in an amount equal to the undrawn stated amount of the applicable Letter of Credit (it being understood that, without the consent of the Letter of Credit issuer in its sole discretion, no Letter of Credit shall mature beyond or be extended beyond the date that is 364 days after the Stated Maturity Date); and (iii) the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after the Closing Date (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Letter of Credit Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the Letter of Credit Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Letter of Credit Issuer in good faith deems material to it and for which the Letter of Credit Issuer is not reimbursed hereunder, (B) the applicable Borrower has not provided the information necessary for the Letter of Credit Issuer to complete the form of Letter of Credit, or (C) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate applicable Laws or one or more policies of the Letter of Credit Issuer applicable to Letters of Credit generally.
(b) Request for Letter of Credit.  Each request for a Letter of Credit (a “Request for Letter of Credit”) shall be submitted to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer by the applicable Borrower in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith) on or before the Specified Time, including a confirmation that such Letter of Credit will be secured (either directly or indirectly) by a first priority, exclusive security interest and 
USActive 53991578.7 13






Lien (subject to Permitted Liens), granted to the Secured Parties, in and on the Collateral.  If multiple Borrowers are requesting the issuance of Letters of Credit on the same date, then a separate Request for Letter of Credit shall be submitted by each applicable Borrower.  No Request for Letter of Credit shall be valid hereunder for any purpose unless it shall have been accompanied or preceded by the information and other documents required to be delivered in accordance with this Section.  Upon each such application, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have automatically made to the Administrative Agent, each Lender, and the Letter of Credit Issuer the following representations and warranties (and, additionally, it is agreed by each other Borrower that it shall also be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by each such Borrower as to itself) that:
(i) As of the date of the issuance of the Letter of Credit requested, the representations and warranties herein and in the other Loan Documents (other than those in Section 7.8 hereof, which shall be replaced with the condition in Section 6.2(b) hereof) are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such issuance, with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent of changes in facts or circumstances that have been disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and do not constitute an Event of Default or a Potential Default or to the extent such representations and warranties relate to an earlier or specific date) and that all other conditions (other than the qualification that any condition is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or its counsel) specified in Sections 6.1 (with respect to the initial extension of credit under this Credit Agreement), 6.2 and 6.3 hereof (with respect to the initial extension of credit under this Credit Agreement to a Qualified Borrower) have been satisfied; 
(ii) (A) The Dollar Equivalent of the Letter of Credit Liability (after giving effect to the issuance of the requested Letter of Credit) will not exceed the lesser of: (x) the remainder of: (1) the Available Commitment as of such date; minus (2) the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations (excluding the Letter of Credit Liability) as of such date; and (y) the Letter of Credit Sublimit on such date; and (B) the Alternate Currency Liability (after giving effect to the issuance of the requested Letter of Credit) will not exceed the Alternate Currency Sublimit on such date;
(iii) Other than as disclosed to the Administrative Agent in writing, the Borrowers have no knowledge or reason to believe any Investor would be entitled to exercise an excuse or exemption right under the Initial Borrower’s Constituent Documents, any Side Letter or any Subscription Agreement with respect to any Investment which is related to the applicable Letter of Credit (or is otherwise not participating in such Investment); provided, that if the Borrowers have disclosed a potential excuse or exemption right or other non-participation to the Administrative Agent in writing, the excused portion of the applicable Investor’s Unused Commitment shall be excluded from the calculation of the Available 
USActive 53991578.7 14






Commitment with respect to the applicable Letter of Credit, but the requesting Borrower(s) shall not be prohibited from having the applicable Letter of Credit issued upon satisfaction of the other conditions therefor; and
(iv) Not more than fifteen (15) issued but undrawn Letters of Credit are then outstanding.
(c) Further Information.  Each Request for Letter of Credit shall be accompanied or preceded by: (A) a Borrowing Base Certificate dated the date of such Request for Letter of Credit (which can be satisfied by attaching the required information and calculations to such Request for Letter of Credit); (B) an Application for Letter of Credit; and (C) such documents as are required to satisfy any applicable conditions precedent as provided in Sections 6.1 (with respect to the initial advance under this Credit Agreement), 6.2 and 6.3 (with respect to the initial extension of credit under this Credit Agreement to a Qualified Borrower), as applicable, all of which shall be delivered directly to the Letter of Credit Issuer.
(d) Notification of Lenders; Notification of the Administrative Agent.  The Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly (but in any event prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of issuance) notify the Administrative Agent of the issuance of any Letter of Credit and provide a copy of each issued Letter of Credit to the Administrative Agent (as well as any renewals, amendments or cancellations).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such issuance of a Letter of Credit and the terms of the requested Letter of Credit.  
(e) Request for Letter of Credit Revocable.  Each Letter of Credit hereunder shall be issued on behalf of a Borrower.  Each Request for Letter of Credit completed and signed by the applicable Borrower(s) in accordance with Section 2.8(b) hereof shall be revocable by such Borrower so long as such revocation is received by the Administrative Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer prior to such Borrower’s approval of the requested Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.8(h) hereof but in any event prior to the actual issuance of the requested Letter of Credit by the Letter of Credit Issuer; provided that the Borrowers shall indemnify the Letter of Credit Issuer against any loss or expense (other than loss of margin or spread) actually and reasonably incurred by such Letter of Credit Issuer, either directly or indirectly, as a result of such revocation or any failure by the specified beneficiary of such Letter of Credit to accept such Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, any loss or expense (other than loss of margin or spread) reasonably incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer, either directly or indirectly by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by the Letter of Credit Issuer in order to issue such Letter of Credit except to the extent such loss or expense is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Issuer.  A certificate of the Letter of Credit Issuer setting forth the amount of any such cost, loss or expense, and the basis for the determination thereof and the calculation thereof, shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower(s) and shall, in the absence of a manifest error, be conclusive and binding.

USActive 53991578.7 15






(f) Exclusive Participation by the Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Letter of Credit will be exclusively participated in by the Letter of Credit Issuer to the extent the Letter of Credit Issuer’s Commitment is sufficient to support the requested issuance of such Letter of Credit, such that when there is a drawing under a Letter of Credit, only the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer will have an obligation to fund such drawing except to the extent the Letter of Credit Issuer’s Commitment is insufficient to support the amount of such Letter of Credit, in which case, the other Lenders shall participate ratably in such excess amount. The Letter of Credit Issuer (and the other Lenders to the extent of their respective participation in a Letter of Credit, if applicable) shall have: (i) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any reimbursement of the amount of each draft drawn under each Letter of Credit, including any interest payable with respect thereto; (ii) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit fee pursuant to the applicable Fee Letter; (iii) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its additional costs pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof; and (iv) the obligation to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, in immediately available funds, its Pro Rata Share of any unreimbursed drawing under a Letter of Credit.
(g) Payment of Letter of Credit.  
(i) In consideration of the issuance by the Letter of Credit Issuer of the Letters of Credit for the account of a Borrower, such Borrower hereby authorizes, empowers, and directs the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Letter of Credit Issuer, to disburse directly, as a Borrowing hereunder by such Borrower, to the Letter of Credit Issuer, with notice to such Borrower, in immediately available funds (in the Currency of such Letter of Credit unless otherwise consented to by all Lenders in their sole discretion), an amount equal to the stated amount of each draft drawn under each such Letter of Credit plus all interest, reasonable costs and expenses, and fees due to the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Credit Agreement in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the benefit of such Borrower.  To the extent Lenders other than the Letter of Credit Issuer are participants in any Letter of Credit and subject to receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, each such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount to be disbursed by the Administrative Agent to the Letter of Credit Issuer on the Business Day on which the Letter of Credit Issuer honors any such draft or incurs or is owed any such interest, costs, expenses or fees, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall disburse such Lender’s payment to the Letter of Credit Issuer.  By no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of any disbursement under a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower on whose behalf the applicable Letter of Credit was issued of the disbursement by the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such draft and any such payments made by the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.8(g)(i); provided that the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of such disbursement by the Letter of Credit Issuer or any such payments by the Lenders.  Any such payments made by the 
USActive 53991578.7 16






Lenders to the Administrative Agent on account of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed a Reference Rate Loan (or, in the case of any such Loan in an Alternate Currency, a LIBOR Loan) to the applicable Borrower, and such Borrower shall be deemed to have given to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.3(a) hereof, a Request for Borrowing with respect to such Loan; and such payments shall be made without regard to the minimum and multiple amounts specified in Section 2.4 hereof.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may conclusively rely on the Letter of Credit Issuer as to the amount due the Letter of Credit Issuer by reason of any draw under a Letter of Credit or due the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Application for Letter of Credit.  The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer under this Section 2.8(g)(i) shall be irrevocable, shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall, irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions to the making of any Loans or issuance of any Letter of Credit described in Sections 2.1, 2.3, 6.1, 6.2 and/or 6.3 hereof, as applicable, be honored in accordance with this Section 2.8(g)(i) under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:  (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (B) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the account party and beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit); (C) any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a draw under a Letter of Credit; (D) any payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; (E) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; or (F) the occurrence of any Event of Default or Potential Default.
(ii) If a Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent any amount required of such Lender under Section 2.8(g)(i) hereof, then the Letter of 
USActive 53991578.7 17






Credit Issuer may recover such amount: (a) from such Lender, on demand, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for the period commencing on the date such amount was due from such Lender and ending on (but excluding) the date the Letter of Credit Issuer recovers such amount from such Lender; or (b) if such Lender fails to pay such amount upon the Letter of Credit Issuer’s demand, then from the applicable Borrower by the Required Payment Time; together with interest at the Reference Rate for the period commencing on the date such amount was due from the applicable Lender under Section 2.8(g)(i) hereof and ending on (but excluding) the date the Letter of Credit Issuer recovers such amount from such Borrower.
(h) Borrower Inspection.  The applicable Borrower shall have the right to examine any Letter of Credit (or amendment thereto) prior to the issuance thereof and shall promptly notify the Letter of Credit Issuer of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower’s instructions, irregularity or any other comments thereto.  Such Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 
(i) Role of Letter of Credit Issuer.  Each of the Lenders and the Borrowers agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit.  The applicable Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not preclude any Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any agreement.  None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (A) through (F) of Section 2.8(g)(i) hereof.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

USActive 53991578.7 18






(j) Acceleration of Undrawn Amounts.  Should the Administrative Agent demand payment of the Obligations hereunder prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof, the Administrative Agent, by written notice to the Borrowers, may take one or more of the following actions: (i) declare the obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder terminated, whereupon such obligation shall forthwith terminate without any other notice of any kind; or (ii) declare the outstanding Letter of Credit Liability to be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived, and demand that each Borrower Cash Collateralize, as security for its Obligations, an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn stated amount of all Letters of Credit issued for the account of any member of such Borrower and outstanding at the time such notice is given.  Unless otherwise required by law, upon the full and final payment of the outstanding Obligations and termination and expiration of all Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall return to each such Borrower its ratable share of any amounts remaining in the Cash Collateral Account.
(k) Minimum Letter of Credit Amounts.  Each Letter of Credit shall be in an amount which is not less than $500,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer may agree to in writing). 
2.9 Addition of Qualified Borrowers, Payment of the Borrower Guaranty and Qualified Borrower Note.
(a) In order for an entity to be approved as a Qualified Borrower: (i) the Initial Borrower must obtain the consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that the Administrative Agent shall approve such entity as a Qualified Borrower, subject to satisfaction of Section 6.3(h), unless such entity is formed or organized, as applicable, in a jurisdiction in which the applicable Lenders cannot make Loans or the Letter of Credit Issuer cannot issue Letters of Credit; (ii) such entity shall be one in which the Initial Borrower owns a direct or indirect ownership interest, or through which the Initial Borrower may acquire an investment, the indebtedness of which entity can be guaranteed by the Initial Borrower pursuant to the terms of its Constituent Documents (such entity, a “Qualified Borrower”); and (iii) the provisions of this Section 2.9 and Section 6.3 hereof shall be satisfied.
(b) Upon the satisfaction of the requirements of subsection (a) above, the Qualified Borrower shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Credit Agreement as if it were a Qualified Borrower hereunder.  Each such Qualified Borrower shall be severally liable for its Obligations hereunder. 
(c) The Initial Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders an unconditional guaranty of payment substantially in the form of Exhibit K attached hereto (the “Borrower Guaranty”, and such guaranties, collectively, the “Borrower Guaranties”), enforceable against the Initial Borrower for the payment of a Qualified Borrower’s debt or obligation to the Lenders.

USActive 53991578.7 19






(d) Each Qualified Borrower shall execute and deliver a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto (a “Qualified Borrower Note”), payable to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the principal amount of its related Obligations.
(e) [Reserved].
(f) In consideration of the Lenders’ agreement to advance funds to a Qualified Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof, to cause Letters of Credit to be issued for the account of a Qualified Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof, and to accept the applicable Borrower Guaranties in support thereof, the Initial Borrower hereby authorizes, empowers, and directs the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, within the limits of the Available Commitment, to disburse directly to the Lenders, with notice to the Initial Borrower, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the amount due and owing under any Qualified Borrower Note or any Borrower Guaranty, together with all interest, reasonable costs and expenses and fees due to the Lenders pursuant thereto, as a Borrowing hereunder by the Initial Borrower, in the event the Administrative Agent shall have not received payment of such Obligations when due.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Initial Borrower of any disbursement made to the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the disbursement, and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof.  Any such disbursement made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders shall be deemed to be a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof in the amount so paid, and the Initial Borrower shall be deemed to have given to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.3 hereof, a Request for Borrowing with respect thereto, and such disbursements shall be made without regard to the minimum and multiple amounts specified in Section 2.4 hereof.  The Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on the Lenders as to the amount of any such Obligations due to the Lenders, absent manifest error.
(g) If a Qualified Borrower has no Obligations outstanding (including any Loans or Letters of Credit issued for its benefit), such Qualified Borrower shall be permitted to withdraw from the Credit Facility as a Qualified Borrower upon ten (10) days advance written notice (or such shorter period reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent.  Upon request of such withdrawing Qualified Borrower, the Administrative Agent will return or destroy any Qualified Borrower Note issued by such Qualified Borrower.  Notwithstanding any withdrawal by a Qualified Borrower, such Qualified Borrower (and the Initial Borrower pursuant to the applicable Borrower Guaranty) shall remain liable for any amounts due to the Secured Parties pursuant to Sections 4 and 12.5 of this Credit Agreement from such Qualified Borrower, which provisions shall survive any withdrawal by a Qualified Borrower and the termination of this Credit Agreement. 

USActive 53991578.7 20






2.10 Use of Proceeds, Letters of Credit and Borrower Guaranties.  
(a) The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be used solely to provide working capital or for other purposes permitted under the applicable Borrower’s Constituent Documents and all related documentation (including the Initial Borrower’s Subscription Agreements and Side Letters). Each Borrower agrees to respond promptly to any reasonable requests for information related to its use of Loan and Letter of Credit proceeds to the extent required by any Lender in connection with such Lender’s determination of its compliance with Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. § 371c) and the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation W (12 C.F.R. Part 223). No Borrower shall use the proceeds of any Borrowing hereunder to purchase securities (as defined in the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation W (12 C.F.R. Part 223.3(ff)) from Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated or any Affiliate thereof. In connection with each Request for Borrowing hereunder, the requesting Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing that, to its actual knowledge, as of the date of the requested Borrowing, the proceeds of such Borrowing will not be used by such Borrower to, directly or indirectly, either (x) purchase securities (as defined in the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation W (12 C.F.R. Part 223.3(ff)) issued by any Lender or Affiliate thereof or (y) invest in any fund sponsored by a Lender or Affiliate thereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is acknowledged that no Borrower shall have increased costs, collateral requirements or additional fees imposed in connection with any such Lender’s compliance obligations under Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation W, except to the extent that such costs, requirements or fees are a direct result of such Borrower’s breach of this Section 2.10.
(b) [Reserved].  
(c) Neither the Lenders nor the Agents shall have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to the applicable Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or execution and delivery of the Borrower Guaranties, and neither the Lenders nor the Agents shall be obligated to determine whether or not such Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit are for purposes permitted under its Constituent Documents, all related documentation (including the Initial Borrower’s Subscription Agreements and Side Letters) or the Constituent Documents of the Initial Borrower.  Nothing, including, without limitation, any Borrowing, any Rollover, any issuance of any Letter of Credit, or acceptance of any other document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by the Lenders or the Agents as to whether any investment by a Borrower is permitted by the terms of its Constituent Documents or the Constituent Documents of the Initial Borrower.
2.11 Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay the Upfront Fees to the Lenders and, to the Administrative Agent, fees in consideration of the arrangement and administration of the Lender 
USActive 53991578.7 21






Commitments, which fees shall be payable in amounts and on the dates set forth in the applicable Fee Letter.
2.12 Unused Commitment Fee.  
(a) In addition to the payments provided for in Section 3 hereof, the Borrowers shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, according to its Pro Rata Share, an unused commitment fee on the average daily amount of the Maximum Commitment Amount less the Principal Obligations outstanding on such date (the “Unused Portion”), during the immediately preceding calendar month calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days at the Commitment Fee Rate, payable in arrears on the twelfth (12th) calendar day of the first calendar month (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) of each calendar quarter for the unused commitment fees accruing during the preceding calendar quarter.  For purposes of this Section 2.12, the fee shall be calculated on an average daily basis and shall be payable in US Dollars.  The Administrative Agent will bill the Borrowers for unused commitment fees due and payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 for all Lenders.  The Borrowers and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the unused commitment fees payable hereunder are bona fide unused commitment fees and are intended as reasonable compensation to the Lenders for committing to make funds available to the Borrowers as described herein and for no other purposes.  
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, if the Initial Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent not later than the Specified Time that it elects to capitalize such fees as a Loan, then the amount of such fees shall be capitalized and deemed to be a Loan under this Credit Agreement (each such Loan, a “Capitalized Unused Commitment Fee Loan”); provided that such fees shall be automatically capitalized and deemed to be a Loan under this Credit Agreement to the extent the Administrative Agent has not delivered a written invoice setting forth such fees to the Initial Borrower by 9:00 a.m. (New York time) at least four (4) Business Days prior to such payment date; provided further that on any such payment date for unused commitment fees pursuant to Section 2.12(a) above, (i) no Event of Default or Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) each of the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date, with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent of changes in facts or circumstances that have been disclosed to the Administrative Agent and do not constitute an Event of Default or Potential Default or to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier or specific date), and (iii) after giving effect to such Capitalized Unused Commitment Fee Loan, the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations will not exceed the Available Commitment.  The initial Capitalized Unused Commitment Fee Loan hereunder shall be a new Loan bearing interest based on Daily LIBOR.  Any subsequent Capitalized Unused Commitment Fee Loan, unless otherwise specified by the Initial Borrower in writing, shall become part of the initial Capitalized Unused 
USActive 53991578.7 22






Commitment Fee Loan, on the same terms and conditions as such initial Capitalized Unused Commitment Fee Loan.
2.13 Increase in the Maximum Commitment Amount.
(a) Request for Increase.  Provided there exists no Event of Default or Potential Default, and subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 2.13, upon delivery of a Facility Increase Request to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrowers may request an increase in the Maximum Commitment Amount to an aggregate amount not exceeding $700,000,000. Such increase may be effected in one or more requested increases, in an amount equal to at least $25,000,000 or increments of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amounts as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) (each such increase shall be referred to herein as a “Facility Increase”).  At the time of sending such Facility Increase Request, the Borrowers (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each applicable Lender is requested to respond to such request.
(b) Effective Date and Allocations.  The Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall determine the effective date of any Facility Increase (the “Increase Effective Date”), which shall be a Business Day.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the final allocation of each such increase and the applicable Increase Effective Date.  On any Increase Effective Date with respect to any Facility Increase (whether pursuant to a new Lender joining the Credit Facility or an existing Lender increasing its Lender Commitment), the Administrative Agent shall reallocate the outstanding Loans (including any Loans made by any new or increasing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13) in accordance with Section 2.3 such that, after giving effect thereto, all Principal Obligations are funded by the Lenders as close as reasonably possible to their Pro Rata Share.  For the avoidance of doubt, such reallocation may require the reallocation of Loans from an existing Lender to a new or increasing Lender.  In connection with any such reallocation of the outstanding Loans, (i) the Administrative Agent shall give advance notice sufficient to comply with the applicable time period in Section 2.3 to each Lender that is required to fund any amount or receive any partial repayment in connection therewith and (ii) the applicable Lender or Lenders shall fund such amounts up to their respective shares of the Loans being reallocated and the Administrative Agent shall remit to any applicable Lender its applicable portion of such funded amount if necessary to give effect to the reallocation of such Loans. In connection with such repayment made with respect to such reallocation (to the extent such repayment is required), the applicable Borrowers shall pay (x) all interest due on the amount repaid to the date of repayment on the immediately following Interest Payment Date and (y) any amounts due pursuant to Section 4.6 as a result of such reallocation occurring on any date other than an Interest Payment Date.  
(c) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  The following are conditions precedent to such increase:

USActive 53991578.7 23






(i) the Initial Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Facility Increase Request signed by a Responsible Officer on behalf of such Borrower certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by or on behalf of each Borrower approving or consenting to such increase; 
(ii) on or prior to the proposed date of such Facility Increase, the Initial Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent: (A) the applicable Upfront Fee, and (B) to the extent invoiced at least two (2) Business Days prior to the required payment date, all others fees due and owing hereunder or under any other Loan Document; 
(iii) if requested by any applicable Lender, the Initial Borrower shall execute  a Note payable to such Lender (or, in the case of a Qualified Borrower, to the Administrative Agent) reflecting the Facility Increase;
(iv) on the Increase Effective Date, (x) an existing Lender or Lenders shall increase its Lender Commitment to support any Facility Increase, in its sole discretion, and/or (y) an additional Lender or Lenders shall have joined the Credit Facility in accordance with Section 12.11(e) and, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Lender Commitments of such increasing and additional Lenders shall be at least equal to the amount of such Facility Increase; and
(v) On or prior to the proposed date of such Facility Increase, the Administrative Agent shall have received (x) such information and documentation as is requested by the Lenders so that each Borrower has become KYC Compliant; and (y) with respect to any Borrower that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Borrower; 
For the avoidance of doubt, any Facility Increase shall be on the same terms as contained herein with respect to the Credit Facility.  No Lender shall be required to commit to, nor shall any Lender have any preemptive right, to provide any portion of any Facility Increase.  On each Increase Effective Date, Schedule II hereof shall be automatically updated to reflect the corresponding increase in the Lender Commitments.
2.14 Extension of Stated Maturity Date.  The Borrowers shall have an option to extend the Stated Maturity Date then in effect for two (2) additional consecutive terms not longer than 364 days each, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
(a) the Administrative Agent and the extending Lenders shall consent to such extension in their sole discretion;
(b) the Borrowers shall have paid the Extension Fee to the Administrative Agent;

USActive 53991578.7 24






(c) no Event of Default or Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date on which notice is given in accordance with the following clause (d) or on the then applicable Stated Maturity Date; and
(d) the Borrowers shall have delivered an Extension Request with respect to the Stated Maturity Date to the Administrative Agent not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date then in effect, or such shorter period reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which shall be promptly forwarded by the Administrative Agent to each Lender).
To the extent any Lender does not consent to extend its Lender Commitment under this Section 2.14, the Obligations outstanding to such Lender as of the then effective Stated Maturity Date shall be due and payable to such Lender on such date; provided that, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Initial Borrower, such non-extending Lender may be required to assign on the Stated Maturity Date all or part of its Lender Commitment to one or more extending Lenders (or new Lenders) who have consented to increase their Lender Commitments and have agreed to such extended Stated Maturity Date. Upon the payment of amounts due under the prior sentence to the non-extending Lender (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent and the Initial Borrower, such aforementioned assignment), such non-extending Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder.
2.15 Borrower Appointment.  Each Qualified Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Initial Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (a) the giving and receipt of notices, b) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (c) unless otherwise provided in the applicable notice of borrowing, the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by the Lenders to any such Qualified Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by such Qualified Borrowers, or by each Qualified Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Initial Borrower whether or not any such other Qualified Borrower joins therein.  Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgment, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Initial Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each related Qualified Borrower.
Section 3. PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS
3.1 Revolving Credit Notes.  The Administrative Agent may request that Loans made under this Credit Agreement be evidenced by the separate promissory notes of the Initial Borrower.  In such event, the Initial Borrower shall execute and deliver a promissory note payable to each Lender in the amount of the Lender Commitments of such Lender.  Any such note issued by the Initial Borrower shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith).  The Initial Borrower agrees, from time to time, upon the request of a Lender, to reissue a new Note, in accordance with the terms and in the form heretofore provided, to such Lender, in renewal of and substitution for the 
USActive 53991578.7 25






Note previously issued by such Borrower to such Lender, and such previously issued Note shall be returned to such Borrower marked “replaced”.
3.2 Payment of Obligations.  The unpaid principal amount of the Obligations outstanding on the Maturity Date, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any other outstanding Obligations, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
3.3 Payment of Interest.
(a) Interest.  Interest on each Borrowing and any portion thereof shall commence to accrue in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the date of the disbursal or wire transfer of such Borrowing by the Administrative Agent, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.5 hereof, notwithstanding whether any Borrower received the benefit of such Borrowing as of such date and even if such Borrowing is held in escrow pursuant to the terms of any escrow arrangement or agreement.  When a Borrowing is disbursed by wire transfer pursuant to instructions received from the applicable Borrower in accordance with the related Request for Borrowing, then such Borrowing shall be considered made at the time of the transmission of the wire, rather than the time of receipt thereof by the receiving bank.  With regard to the repayment of the Loans, interest shall continue to accrue on any amount repaid until such time as the repayment has been received in federal or other immediately available funds by the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent’s account described in Section 3.4 hereof, or any other account of the Administrative Agent which the Administrative Agent designates in writing to the Borrowers.
(b) Interest Payment Dates.  Accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (i) shall be due and payable in the Currency of the related Obligations (unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Lenders in their sole discretion) in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, and on the Maturity Date, (ii) shall be due and payable on each other date of any reduction of the Principal Obligations hereunder (solely with respect to the portion of the Principal Obligations so prepaid), and (iii) with respect to any Obligation with respect to which any Borrower is in default, shall be due and payable at any time and from time to time following such default upon demand by the Administrative Agent.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
(c) Direct Disbursement.  If, at any time, the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have received on the date due, any payment of interest upon the Loans (other than as provided in Section 3.3(d) hereof), or any fee described herein, the Administrative Agent may direct the disbursement to the Lenders of funds from the amounts credited to or held for the Initial Borrower in a Collateral Account to the extent available therein for payment of any such amount; provided that, the amount so debited from any Collateral Account shall not exceed the amount so owing by such Borrower.  Thereafter, if the amount so available in a Collateral Account is not sufficient for the full payment of such amounts due from such Borrower, the Administrative Agent 
USActive 53991578.7 26






may, without prior notice to or the consent of the Initial Borrower, within the limits of the Available Commitment, disburse to the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer, in accordance with the terms hereof, in immediately available funds an amount equal to the interest or fee due to the Lenders, which disbursement shall be deemed to be a Reference Rate Loan (or a LIBOR Loan with respect to an Alternate Currency) to the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, and such Borrower shall be deemed to have given to the Lenders in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.3 hereof a Request for Borrowing with respect thereto. After any disbursement of funds from a Collateral Account to the Lenders as contemplated in this Section 3.3(c), the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver written notice of such disbursement to the Initial Borrower; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to give such notice will not affect the validity of such disbursement, and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof.
(d) Capitalization of Interest and Fees.  Notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, if the Initial Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent no later than the Specified Time, that it elects to capitalize such interest or fees, as applicable, then the amount of such interest or fees shall be capitalized and deemed to be a Loan under this Credit Agreement (each such Loan, a “Capitalized Interest Loan”); provided that such interest or fees shall be automatically capitalized and deemed to be a Loan under this Credit Agreement to the extent the Administrative Agent has not delivered a written invoice setting forth such interest or fees to the Initial Borrower by 9:00 a.m. (New York time) at least four (4) Business Days prior to such payment date; provided further that on any such Interest Payment Date or Letter of Credit fee payment date, as applicable, (i) no Event of Default or Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) each of the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date, with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent of changes in facts or circumstances that have been disclosed to the Administrative Agent in writing and do not constitute an Event of Default or to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier or specific date), and (iii) after giving effect to such Capitalized Interest Loan, the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations will not exceed the Available Commitment. Unless otherwise specified by the Initial Borrower in writing, any such Capitalized Interest Loan shall be either (i) a LIBOR Loan, if the applicable Lender can consolidate such Loan with an existing LIBOR Loan or (ii) a Reference Rate Loan (provided that such Reference Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into LIBOR Loans in accordance with Section 2.3(c) hereof).  Such Loan will not be subject to the minimum and multiple amount limitations in Section 2.4 hereof.   
3.4 Payments on the Obligations.  All payments of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations under this Credit Agreement by the applicable Borrowers to or for the account of the Lenders, or any of them, shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense or recoupment by the applicable Borrower for receipt by the Administrative Agent on the relevant due date therefor in federal or other immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at account number 001291068205 at Bank of America, N.A., ABA No. 
USActive 53991578.7 27






026 009 593, account name: Bilateral Clearing, reference: “GSO Secured Lending Fund”, or any other account of the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent designates in writing to the Borrowers.  Funds received after 1:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be treated for all purposes as having been received by the Administrative Agent on the first Business Day next following receipt of such funds.  Except as provided in Sections 2.3(g), 2.14 and 12.11 hereof, each Lender shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Share of each payment received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders on the Obligations.  Each payment received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of a Lender shall be promptly distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Lender.  If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that payments to the Administrative Agent by each Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations of such Borrower to or for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall constitute satisfaction of such Borrower’s obligations with respect to any such payments, and the Administrative Agent shall indemnify, and each Lender shall hold harmless, such Borrower from any claims asserted by any Lender in connection with the Administrative Agent’s duty to distribute and apportion such payments to the Lenders in accordance with this Section 3.4.  At all times when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments made by a Borrower on the Obligations shall be credited as directed by the applicable Borrower. At all times when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments made by a Borrower on the Obligations (including all amounts received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the exercise of remedies hereunder or under any Collateral Document) shall be credited, to the extent of the amount thereof, in the following manner:  (a) first, against all costs, expenses and other fees (including attorneys’ fees) arising under the terms hereof or under any Collateral Document; (b) second, against the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on the Obligations of such Borrower as of the date of such payment; (c) third, against all principal due and owing on the Obligations of such Borrower as of the date of such payment; (d) fourth, to all other amounts constituting any portion of the Obligations of such Borrower, other than the portion of the Obligations described in the last sentence of the definition of “Obligations” and (e) fifth, to all other amounts constituting any portion of the Obligations of such Borrower pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of “Obligations”.
3.5 Voluntary Prepayments.  The Borrowers may, without premium or penalty, with written notice to the Administrative Agent by the Specified Time, which notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Prepayment Notice”), prepay the principal of the Obligations then outstanding, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time; provided that (a) any partial prepayment shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000 (or, if applicable, the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts) (or such other amounts as reasonably agreed by the Administrative Agent) and (b) if any Borrower shall prepay the principal of any LIBOR Loan (other than a Loan bearing interest at Daily LIBOR) on any date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period applicable thereto, such Borrower shall make the payments required by Section 4.6 hereof.  Any payment received after 1:00 p.m. 
USActive 53991578.7 28






New York time shall be treated for all purposes as having been received by the Administrative Agent on the first Business Day next following receipt of such amount.
3.6 Reduction or Early Termination of Lender Commitments.  The Initial Borrower may terminate the Lender Commitments, or from time to time reduce the Maximum Commitment Amount, by giving prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice may be by telephone, if confirmed in writing promptly thereafter, by fax, electronic mail or other written communication) of such termination or reduction three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (which date shall be specified by the Initial Borrower in such notice): (a) in the case of complete termination of the Lender Commitments, upon prepayment by the applicable Borrowers of all of the outstanding Obligations, including, without limitation, all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.5 hereof; or (b) in the case of a reduction of the Maximum Commitment Amount, upon prepayment of the amount by which the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations exceeds the reduced Available Commitment resulting from such reduction, including, without limitation, payment of all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.5 hereof; provided that the Maximum Commitment Amount may not be terminated or reduced such that the Available Commitment would be less than the aggregate stated amount of outstanding Letters of Credit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) any reduction of the Maximum Commitment Amount shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or multiples thereof; and (ii) in no event shall a reduction by the Initial Borrower reduce the Maximum Commitment Amount to less than $50,000,000 (except for a termination of all the Lender Commitments). Promptly after receipt of any notice of reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the same.  Any reduction of the Maximum Commitment Amount shall reduce the Lender Commitments of the Lenders on a pro rata basis.  
3.7 Lending Office.  Each Lender may: (a) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender as its Applicable Lending Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Loan; and (b) change its Applicable Lending Office from time to time by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers.  Each Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of any Loan in any manner it reasonably deems appropriate, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.5 hereof, but for the purposes of this Credit Agreement such Lender shall, regardless of such Lender’s actual means of funding, be deemed to have funded each Loan in accordance with the Interest Option selected from time to time by the applicable Borrower for such Interest Period.
Section 4. CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
4.1 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Change in Law.
(a) Subject to Section 4.1(b) hereof, if any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer determines that as a result of the (i) introduction of after the date hereof, or if later, with respect to any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, after the date such Person became a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, or any change in, or in the interpretation by any Governmental Authority of, any Law or (ii) the compliance, application or implementation by such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer (or its Applicable Lending 
USActive 53991578.7 29






Office) of the foregoing clause (i), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Loans or (as the case may be) issuing or participating in Letters of Credit by virtue of the participation arrangement provided in Section 2.8(f) hereof, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 4.1(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Excluded Taxes, Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 4.7 hereof, (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of net income or gross income by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or has a present or former connection, and (iii) reserve requirements utilized in the determination of Adjusted LIBOR, then from time to time upon demand of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the applicable Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer such additional amounts (subject to Section 4.8 hereof and without duplication of amounts paid or payable under this Section 4.1(a) or Section 4.7 hereof) as will compensate such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer for such increased cost or reduction by the Required Payment Time (provided that such amounts shall be consistent with amounts that such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, is generally charging other borrowers similarly situated to the Borrowers; it being understood that the amount of such increased cost or reduced return between similarly situated borrowers may be different after consideration of facility pricing, structure, usage patterns, capital treatment and banking relationship).
(b) Change in Law: Reduced Return.  Subject to this Section 4.1(b), if any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer determines that (i) the introduction after the date hereof, or if later, with respect to any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, after the date such Person became a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, of any Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or any change therein, or in the interpretation by any Governmental Authority thereof, or (ii) the compliance, application or implementation by such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer (or its Applicable Lending Office) with the foregoing clause (i), has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or any entity controlling such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer as a consequence of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements and such Lender’s, Letter of Credit Issuer’s or entity’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the applicable Borrowers shall (subject to Section 4.8 hereof) pay to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer for such reduction by the Required Payment Time (provided that such amounts shall be consistent with amounts that such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, is generally charging other borrowers similarly situated to the Borrowers; it being understood that the amount of such increased cost or reduced return between similarly 
USActive 53991578.7 30






situated borrowers may be different after consideration of facility pricing, structure, usage patterns, capital treatment and banking relationship).
(c) Notice.  The applicable Borrowers shall not be required to compensate the applicable Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Section 4.1 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer notifies the applicable Borrowers of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 4.1; provided, that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such one hundred eighty (180) day period referenced above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect.  Each Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, be otherwise disadvantageous to it.
4.2 Limitation on Types of Loans.  If the Administrative Agent reasonably determines in connection with any request for a LIBOR Loan or Conversion to or Continuation thereof that: (a) deposits in the applicable currency are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan; (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR for such LIBOR Loan; or (c) LIBOR for such LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such LIBOR Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and all Lenders.  Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans in the applicable currency shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending Request for Borrowing, Conversion or Continuation of such LIBOR Loans or, failing that, with respect to a Loan in US Dollars, will be deemed to have Converted such Request for Borrowing of LIBOR Loans into a Request for Borrowing for Reference Rate Loans and, with respect to a Loan in Alternate Currency, will be deemed to have Converted such Request for Borrowing of LIBOR Loans into a Request for Borrowing for such Loans based on the Cost of Funds Rate for the applicable Alternate Currency, if available. 
4.3 Illegality.  
(a) If any Lender reasonably determines that any Law adopted after the date hereof or if later, with respect to any Lender, after the date such Lender became a Lender hereunder, has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans in any applicable currency (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Non-LIBOR Quoted Currency) or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the applicable LIBOR, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or Continue such Loans or to Convert to such Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon the prepayment of any such Loans, the applicable Borrower shall also 
USActive 53991578.7 31






pay interest on the amount so prepaid.  Each Lender agrees to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender or result in increased taxes to any Borrower. 
(b) In the event that the Initial Borrower, Lender or Agent obtains actual knowledge that the Initial Borrower “directly or indirectly, or acting through or in concert with one or more persons, owns, controls, or has the power to vote more than ten percent (10%) of any class of voting securities” (within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. § 375b(9)(F) and Regulation O of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) of any Lender, of a Bank Holding Company of which any Lender is a subsidiary, or of any subsidiary of a Bank Holding Company of which any Lender is a subsidiary, and such circumstance causes the applicable Lender to be in violation of Regulation O, the Initial Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender shall cooperate in good faith to find a solution or remedy that would permit the applicable Lender to be in compliance with Regulation O, including if necessary such Lender assigning its Lender Commitment to a new Lender in accordance with Section 12.11(c) hereof (provided that such Lender shall not be required to accept less than the full amount of the Obligations due and owing to such Lender on the date of such assignment).  In the event that after thirty (30) days the Initial Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender have not satisfactorily remedied such circumstance and caused such Lender to be in compliance with Regulation O or such Lender has not been able to assign its Lender Commitment in accordance with Section 12.11(c) hereof, then the applicable Borrowers shall repay all Obligations due and owing to such Lender within fifteen (15) Business Days and, upon receipt of such payment, the applicable Lender will resign from the Credit Facility and its Lender Commitment shall be extinguished in all respects.
4.4 Unavailability of Alternate Currency.  If before the LIBOR Cutoff a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that any Alternate Currency requested is not readily available to it in the amount required, then the Administrative Agent will give notice to the relevant Borrower to that effect by the LIBOR Cutoff. In this event, any Lender that gives notice pursuant to this Section 4.4 will be required to participate in the Loan in US Dollars (in an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of such Loan or, in respect of a Rollover, an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of the Rollover that is due to be made) and its participation will be treated as a separate Loan denominated in US Dollars during that Interest Period.
4.5 Treatment of Affected Loans.  If the obligation of any Lender to make or to Continue a LIBOR Loan, or to Convert Loans into such Type of Loan, shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3 hereof, such Lender’s applicable LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted (and re-denominated into US Dollars, if applicable) into Reference Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 4.3 hereof or this Section 4.5, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrowers with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 hereof that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

USActive 53991578.7 32






(a) to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Loans shall be applied instead to its Converted Loans; and
(b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made instead as Reference Rate Loans, and all Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans  shall remain as Reference Rate Loans.
If such Lender gives notice to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 hereof that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Loans pursuant to this Section 4.5 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Reference Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Lender Commitments.
4.6 Compensation.  Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the applicable Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for any cost or expense actually incurred by it (other than loss of margin or spread) as a result of:
(a) any Conversion, payment or prepayment by such Borrower of any LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); provided that no Borrower shall be required to pay any of the foregoing amounts to the Lenders due to a prepayment pursuant to clause (b) of Section 2.5 hereof as a result of a Lender failing to make its share of any requested Borrowing; or
(b) any failure by such Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan, and including, without limitation, the failure of any condition precedent specified in Section 6 hereof to be satisfied) to prepay, borrow, or Continue or Convert any LIBOR Loan or Reference Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrowers including any loss or expense (other than loss of margin or spread) arising from the liquidation of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
The applicable Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.
4.7 Taxes. 
(a) Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by any Borrower to or for the account of a Tax Indemnified Party under any Loan Document shall be made free 
USActive 53991578.7 33






and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes with respect thereto, unless required by Law.  If any Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any Laws to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to or for the account of a Tax Indemnified Party: (i) in the event that the applicable Borrower is required to deduct or withhold Non-Excluded Taxes, 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 4.7), such Tax Indemnified Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions of Non-Excluded Taxes been made, (ii) the applicable Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall make such deductions of Taxes, and (iii) the applicable Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.
(b) Notice of Non-Excluded Taxes.  The Borrowers shall promptly, upon becoming aware that a Borrower must deduct or withhold any non-United States federal Tax on a payment under a Loan Document (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a non-United States federal Tax required to be deducted or withheld), notify the Administrative Agent accordingly.  Similarly, any other Tax Indemnified Party shall notify the Administrative Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to such Tax Indemnified Party.  If the Administrative Agent receives such notification from a Tax Indemnified Party it shall notify the Borrowers.
(c) Other Taxes.  In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any and all present and future stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax, stamp duty land tax, court or documentary taxes and any other similar excise or property taxes or charges or levies or penalties that arise from any payment made by it under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document to which it is a party other than any “prohibited transaction” excise tax arising from any Lender’s violation of applicable law and/or use of Plan Assets to fund any portion of any Loan under any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”); provided that the Borrowers shall not be responsible hereunder to pay any such Other Taxes imposed on any assignment (except to the extent requested by a Borrower pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof) or participation.
(d) Indemnification.  (1)  Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Tax Indemnified Party for (A) the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.7) paid by such Tax Indemnified Party, and (B) any liability (including penalties, interest or reasonable expenses, including reasonable legal expenses incurred in the enforcement of this Credit Agreement against the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, but excluding any penalties, interest or expenses attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Tax Indemnified Party or any of their affiliates) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  Payment under this 
USActive 53991578.7 34






Section 4.7(d) shall be made by the Required Payment Time.  Nothing in this Section 4.7(d) shall require the Borrowers to indemnify the Tax Indemnified Parties to the extent that the Non-Excluded Taxes, Other Taxes or liabilities are or will be compensated for under Section 4.7(a) hereof. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  
(i) Each Tax Indemnified Party (other than the Administrative Agent) shall indemnify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent against any Excluded Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and reasonable expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable) incurred by or asserted against such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, by the relevant Governmental Authority for not properly withholding such Excluded Taxes, except to the extent that any such amount or payment (A) results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, (B) with respect to penalties or interest, results from such Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s failure to promptly notify the applicable Tax Indemnified Party under Section 4.7(b) hereof, or (C) represents an amount required to be deducted or withheld from additional amounts payable for Non-Excluded Taxes under Section 4.7(a) hereof. The agreements in this Section 4.7(d) hereof shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any other Tax Indemnified Party, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
(e) Prescribed Forms.  
(i) Each Tax Indemnified Party, on or prior to the date on which such Person becomes a Tax Indemnified Party hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only to the extent that such Person is legally entitled to do so), shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of (A) a properly completed and valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or applicable successor form, (B) a properly completed and valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or applicable successor form, (I) claiming eligibility of such Tax Indemnified Party for a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, or (II) accompanied by a certificate for the “portfolio interest” rule of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, stating that such Tax Indemnified Party is not (x) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (y) a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue 
USActive 53991578.7 35






Code or (z) a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code, (C) a properly completed and valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, or an applicable successor form, (D) to the extent such Tax Indemnified Party is not the beneficial owner, a properly completed and valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, or any applicable successor form, together with all required attachments, evidencing a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax, or (E) such other documentary evidence satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent establishing that such Tax Indemnified Party is entitled to a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax.
(ii) Any Tax Indemnified Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and duly executed documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Tax Indemnified Party, if reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Tax Indemnified Party is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clause (e)(i) above or clause (e)(iii) below) shall not be required if in such Tax Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Tax Indemnified Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Tax Indemnified Party.
(iii) If a payment made to a Tax Indemnified Party under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Tax Indemnified Party fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), (A) such Tax Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent  a certification signed by the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer or controller, and (B) such Tax Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent sufficient 
USActive 53991578.7 36






for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations thereunder and to determine that such Tax Indemnified Party has complied with such applicable reporting requirements or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this subparagraph (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Credit Agreement.
If such Person fails to deliver the above forms, or other documentation, that otherwise would have entitled such Person to a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on payments of interest, then the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Person an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, without reduction.  Each Tax Indemnified Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or become obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f) Selection of Lending Office.  If any Borrower is or is likely to be required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Tax Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 4.7, then such Tax Indemnified Party will agree to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office, if applicable, so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the good faith judgment of such Tax Indemnified Party, is not otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Tax Indemnified Party.
(g) Evidence of Payment.  Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes under a Loan Document by any Borrower, such Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(h) Tax Refunds and Credits.  Each Tax Indemnified Party agrees that if such Person determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it subsequently recovers or receives a Tax Credit attributable to a Tax Payment (including the payment of additional amounts by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.7), such Person shall promptly pay such Borrower such Tax Credit (but only to the extent of the Tax Payments made with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such Tax Credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such Tax Credit); provided that if, due to subsequent adjustment of such Tax Credit, such Person is required to repay such amount to the relevant Governmental Authorities, such Borrower agrees to repay such Person, as the case may be, the amount required to be repaid, plus any interest imposed by the Governmental Authority in respect thereof.

USActive 53991578.7 37






4.8 Requests for Compensation.
(a) Certificate.  If requested by the Borrowers in connection with any demand for payment pursuant to Section 4.1, 4.6 or 4.7 hereof, a Lender shall provide to the Borrowers with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand, the amount required to be paid by the Borrowers to such Lender and satisfaction of the condition set forth in subsection (b) below, provided however, that such details do not extend to information and detail that a Lender is not legally permitted to disclose, is confidential or price-sensitive in relation to listed shares or other instruments issued by such Lender or any of its Affiliates.  Such certificate shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding.
(b) No Duplication.  Any amount payable by the Borrowers on account of Section 4.1, 4.6, or 4.7 hereof shall not be duplicative of: (i) any amount paid under any other such sections, or (ii) any amounts included in the calculation of the LIBOR or the Reference Rate.
(c) Refund.  Any amount determined to be paid by any Borrower in error pursuant to Section 4.1, 4.6, or 4.7 hereof shall be, if no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, promptly refunded to such Borrower, or applied to amounts owing by such Borrower hereunder, as such Borrower may elect.
4.9 Survival.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, all of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 4 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Lender Commitments or the termination of this Credit Agreement or any provision hereof.  Each Lender shall notify the Borrowers of any event occurring after the termination of this Credit Agreement entitling such Lender to compensation under Section 4.1, 4.6 or 4.7 hereof as promptly as practicable, but in any event within one hundred eighty (180) days, after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; if any Lender fails to give such notice within one hundred eighty (180) days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable under Section 4.1, 4.6, or 4.7 hereof, only be entitled to payment for such compensation relating to the period from and after the date one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice.
4.10 Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender (a) requests compensation under this Section 4, (b) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (c) does not provide its consent to an amendment, modification or waiver that requires the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender, as applicable, and such amendment, modification or waiver receives the consent of the Required Lenders, then, if there is no Event of Default, the Borrowers may, at their 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, and consents required by, Section 12.11 hereof), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee who agrees to assume such obligations; provided that:

USActive 53991578.7 38






(a) 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 and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under this Section 4) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(b) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under this Section 4, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(c) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law; and
(d) a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
4.11 Euro Event.  In the event that the Euro is no longer used as the common currency of the European Union (such event, a “Euro Event”), each Borrower shall, in its sole discretion, either: (a) repay all Euro denominated Loans made to it (and Cash Collateralize all Euro denominated Letters of Credit issued for its account) in US Dollars or an Alternate Currency other than Euro (in either case based on the applicable Spot Rate on the date of such repayment) and/or (b) convert such Loans to (or replace such Letters of Credit with those denominated in) US Dollars or an Alternate Currency other than Euro, in each case within thirty (30) days of such Euro Event.
4.12 LIBOR Successor Rate.  (%3)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrowers) that the Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because LIBOR is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or 
(ii) the administrator of LIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or
(iii) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as 
USActive 53991578.7 39






applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR;
then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, (x) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders and (y) the Administrative Agent and the Initial Borrower may amend this Credit Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark, if any, incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar syndicated credit facilities denominated in US Dollars for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Initial Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.  
(b) If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under Section 4.12(a)(i) exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders.  Thereafter, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) and (ii) the Adjusted LIBOR component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Reference Rate.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending Request for Borrowing of, or Rollover Notice or Conversion Notice for the conversion to or Continuation of, LIBOR Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, the applicable Borrower(s) will be deemed to have converted each such LIBOR Loan to a Reference Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.3(f) (subject to the foregoing clause (ii)).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero (0) for purposes of this Credit Agreement.
Section 5. SECURITY
5.1 Liens and Security Interest.
(a) Commitment and Demand Notices.  Subject to the terms of its Borrower Security Agreement, the Initial Borrower will grant, by way of pledge and assignment by way of security to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest and Lien in and to all of the collateral described therein, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, including (i) its right under its Constituent Documents, any applicable Side Letters and Subscription Agreements to issue Demand Notices and receive Contributions with respect to the Unused Commitment of its Investors, (ii) its rights under its Constituent Documents, any applicable Side Letters and 
USActive 53991578.7 40






Subscription Agreements to enforce payment of Contributions with respect to the Unused Commitments of its Investors, duly called in accordance with the terms of its Constituent Documents, any applicable Side Letters and Subscription Agreements and (iii) all of its other remedies, to the extent related to the foregoing, in each case, for purposes of repaying its Obligations.
(b) Collateral Accounts.  Subject to the terms of the applicable Collateral Documents, as additional collateral, the Initial Borrower shall pledge and assign to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest and Lien in and on its right, title and interest in and to all amounts held in or credited to the applicable Collateral Account constituting Contributions to the Initial Borrower to secure its Obligations. 
(c) Reliance.  The Initial Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent and each Lender has entered into this Credit Agreement, extended credit hereunder and at the time of each Loan or each issuance of a Letter of Credit, will make such Loan or issue such Letter of Credit in reasonable reliance on the obligations of the Investors to fund their respective Unused Commitments as shown in their Subscription Agreements delivered in connection herewith and in accordance with the Initial Borrower’s Constituent Documents and accordingly during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the limitations in Section 10.2 hereof, such Unused Commitments may be enforced in the name of the Initial Borrower by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, directly against the Investors without further action by the Initial Borrower and notwithstanding any compromise of any such Unused Commitment by the Initial Borrower as provided in 6 Del. C. §17-502(b)(1); provided that in no event shall any Investor be required to fund Contributions to any Person other than the Initial Borrower (it being understood that each Investor shall be required to fund Contributions to an account in the name of the Initial Borrower).
The collateral security set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 5.1 shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Collateral”.  The security agreements, assignments, collateral assignments and any other documents and instruments from time to time executed and delivered pursuant to this Credit Agreement to grant a security interest in the Collateral, including, without limitation, the Borrower Security Agreement, the Collateral Account Pledges and any documents or instruments amending or supplementing the same, shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Collateral Documents.”   
5.2 The Collateral Accounts; Investor Demand Notices.
(a) The Collateral Accounts.  The Initial Borrower shall establish an account at the Depository, which account shall be established prior to the Closing Date, and such account (and any replacement thereof in the name of the Initial Borrower) shall be subject to a Collateral Account Pledge and a Deposit Account Control Agreement and specified on Schedule I hereto, as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time (each a “Collateral Account” and, collectively, the “Collateral Accounts”).  The Initial 
USActive 53991578.7 41






Borrower shall direct all Contributions received by it into the applicable Collateral Account.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) Use of and Location of the Collateral Accounts.  The Initial Borrower may withdraw funds from a Collateral Account only in compliance with Section 9.12 hereof. If the Depository with respect to a Collateral Account ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the Initial Borrower shall have thirty (30) days following notice from the Administrative Agent (or by such later date that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) to move such Collateral Account to a replacement Depository that is an Eligible Institution.  If a Depository for a Collateral Account terminates the Deposit Account Control Agreement, the Initial Borrower shall open a new collateral account that is subject to a new Deposit Account Control Agreement (or, if the Depository is the Administrative Agent, an acknowledgment from the Depository) with a replacement Depository within thirty (30) days of such termination (or by such later date that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent).
(d) Investor Demand Notices.  The Initial Borrower irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent in the name of the Initial Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (but subject to the final paragraph of Section 10.2 hereof), to make all Demand Notices.  During the continuation of an Event of Default, except as otherwise provided in the final paragraph of Section 10.2 hereof, any Investor Demand Notice not issued by the Administrative Agent or at the direction of the Administrative Agent shall be void. The Initial Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent any notice to its Investors to amend, delay or rescind any Demand Notice at any time prior to the payment due date thereof.
(e) No Liability of Administrative Agent or Lenders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, it is expressly understood and agreed that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake any duties, responsibilities, or liabilities with respect to the Demand Notices issued by the Initial Borrower.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be required to refer to the Constituent Documents of the Initial Borrower, the Collateral Account Pledges, the Subscription Agreements, or take any other action with respect to any other matter that might arise in connection with the foregoing.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders have any duty to determine or inquire into any happening or occurrence or any performance or failure of performance of the Initial Borrower or any of the Investors.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any duty to inquire into the use, purpose, or reasons for the making of any Demand Notice or the investment or use of the proceeds thereof.
(f) Investor Demand Notices; Investor Demand Notices by Administrative Agent.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time during the continuation of such Event of Default, to direct the Initial Borrower to withdraw funds 
USActive 53991578.7 42






credited to or held from a Collateral Account, for the purpose of paying amounts not paid when due hereunder or under any other Loan Document (after the passage of any applicable grace period); provided that promptly after any disbursement of funds from any such account to the Lenders, as contemplated in this Section 5.2(f), the Administrative Agent shall deliver a written notice of such disbursement to the Initial Borrower.  Subject to the final paragraph of Section 10.2 hereof, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, is hereby authorized, in the name of the Initial Borrower, at any time or from time to time during the existence of an Event of Default, to issue one or more Demand Notices in order to pay the Obligations of the Initial Borrower.  With or without such general notification, when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders may, subject to Section 10.2 hereof: (i) initiate one or more Demand Notices to the Investors of the Initial Borrower in order to pay the Loans or the Letter of Credit Liability then due and owing by the Initial Borrower, or both; (ii) take or bring in the Initial Borrower’s name, all steps, actions, suits, or proceedings deemed by the Administrative Agent necessary or desirable to effect possession or collection of payments of the capital contributions with respect to the Unused Commitments which are called to repay the Obligations of the Initial Borrower; (iii) complete any contract or agreement of the Initial Borrower to enforce payment to the Initial Borrower with respect to the Unused Commitments pursuant to Demand Notices duly delivered in accordance with the applicable Constituent Documents, any applicable Side Letters and Subscription Agreements to repay the Obligations of the Initial Borrower; (iv) compromise any claims related to the payment of Contributions with respect to the Unused Commitments which are called to repay the Obligations; or (v) exercise any other right, privilege, power, or remedy provided to the Initial Borrower under and in accordance with its Constituent Documents, any Side Letters and Subscription Agreements, as applicable, with respect to the payment of Contributions with respect to the Unused Commitments which are called to repay the Obligations of the Initial Borrower.  The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall be granted an irrevocable power of attorney by the Initial Borrower to carry out the aforementioned acts and to exercise the aforementioned powers during the continuance of an Event of Default (subject to the final paragraph of Section 10.2 hereof).  Regardless of any provision hereof, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be liable for failure to collect or for failure to exercise diligence in the collection, possession, or any transaction concerning, all or part of the Demand Notices or the Unused Commitments or sums due or paid thereon, nor shall they be under any obligation whatsoever to anyone by virtue of the security interests and Liens relating to the Collateral, subject to the Internal Revenue Code.  The Administrative Agent shall give the Initial Borrower notice of actions taken pursuant to this Section 5.2(f) concurrently with, or promptly after, the taking of such action, but its failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action, nor shall such failure give rise to defenses to the Initial Borrower’s obligations hereunder.
(g) Additional Action by the Administrative Agent.  During the existence of an Event of Default, issuance by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders of 
USActive 53991578.7 43






a receipt to any Person obligated to pay any Contribution for the purposes of repaying the Obligations shall be a full and complete release, discharge, and acquittance to such Person to the extent of any amount so paid to a Collateral Account for the direct or indirect, by way of collateral assignment, benefit of the applicable Secured Parties.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, is hereby authorized and empowered, during the existence of an Event of Default, on behalf of the Initial Borrower, to endorse the name of the Initial Borrower upon any check, draft, instrument, receipt, instruction, or other document or items, including, but not limited to, all items evidencing payment upon a Contribution of any Person to the Initial Borrower coming into the Administrative Agent’s possession, and to receive and apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof.  The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, is hereby granted an irrevocable power of attorney, which is coupled with an interest and given by way of security to secure the performance of the Obligations, to execute all checks, drafts, receipts, instruments, instructions, or other documents, agreements, or items on behalf of the Initial Borrower either before or after demand of payment of the Obligations but only during the existence of an Event of Default (and subject to Section 10.2 hereof), as shall be deemed by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable, in the sole discretion, reasonably exercised, of the Administrative Agent, to protect the security interests and Liens in (and priority thereof) the Commitments for the repayment of the Obligations secured thereby, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders, in the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct, shall incur any liability in connection with or arising from its exercise of such power of attorney.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, in no event shall the Administrative Agent (or any Lender) be permitted to require any Investor to fund its Contributions other than to an account in the name of the Initial Borrower. 
The application by the Lenders of such funds shall, unless the Administrative Agent shall agree otherwise in writing, be the same as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof.  The Initial Borrower acknowledges that all funds so transferred for its benefit into the applicable Collateral Account shall be the property of the Initial Borrower subject to the security interest of the Administrative Agent therein for the Obligations secured thereby.
(h) No Representations.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to make at any time any representation or warranty as to the validity of any Demand Notice nor shall the Administrative Agent or the Lenders be accountable for the Initial Borrower’s use of the proceeds of any Contribution.
5.3 Lender Offset.  In addition to the rights granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Section 5.2 hereof, each Borrower hereby grants to each Lender a right of offset, to secure repayment of the Obligations of such Borrower when due to the Secured Parties (after the passage of any applicable grace period), upon any and all monies, securities, or other property of such Borrower and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to the Lenders, from or for the account of such Borrower, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection, or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits 
USActive 53991578.7 44






(general or specified) and credits of such Borrower and any and all claims of such Borrower, against the Lenders at any time existing. The Lenders are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time during the existence of an Event of Default, without notice to the applicable Borrower, to offset, appropriate, apply, and enforce such right of offset against any and all items referred to above against the Obligations of such Borrower.  Each Borrower shall be deemed directly indebted to the Lenders in the full amount of its Obligations, and the Lenders shall be entitled to exercise the rights of offset provided for above.  The rights of the Lenders under this Section 5.3 are subject to Section 12.2 hereof.  The Administrative Agent, and the Lenders, as applicable, shall give the Borrowers prompt notice of any action taken pursuant to this Section 5.3, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action or give rise to any defense in favor of the Borrowers with respect to such action.  
5.4 Agreement to Deliver Additional Collateral Documents.  The Initial Borrower shall deliver such security agreements, financing statements, financing change statements, assignments, notices and other acknowledgments and other collateral documents (all of which security agreements shall be deemed part of the Collateral Documents), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of the Lenders may reasonably request from time to time for the purpose of granting to, or maintaining or perfecting in favor of the Lenders, security interests in the Collateral with respect to which the Initial Borrower is granting a security interest to the Administrative Agent, together with other assurances of the enforceability of the Lenders’ Liens and assurances of due recording and documentation of the Collateral Documents or copies thereof, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require to avoid material impairment of the Liens and security interests (or the priority thereof) granted or purported to be granted pursuant to this Section 5.
5.5 Subordination.  During the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, if there are any Obligations outstanding under the Credit Facility, the Initial Borrower shall not make any payments or advances of any kind, directly or indirectly, on any debts and liabilities to any Investor whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether direct, indirect, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and howsoever evidenced or created (collectively, the “Other Claims”), unless such payments or advances are first applied, directly or indirectly, to such Obligations. All Other Claims, together with all liens, security interests, and all other encumbrances or charges on assets securing the payment of all or any portion of the Other Claims shall at all times during the continuance of an Event of Default, if there are any Obligations outstanding under the Credit Facility, be subordinated to and inferior in right and in payment to the Obligations and all liens, security interest, and all other encumbrances or charges on assets securing all or any portion of the Obligations, and the Borrowers agree to take any actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent as are necessary to provide for such subordination between it and any other Borrower, inter se, including but not limited to including provisions for such subordination in the documents evidencing the Other Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no other restriction or limitation on the right of the Investment Advisor or Administrator (or Affiliate of any thereof) to receive management or other fees (including incentive management fees) or expenses payable to the Investment Advisor or Administrator (or such Affiliate) under or pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement except as set forth in Section 9.10 hereof.

USActive 53991578.7 62






(iv) to reflect any withdrawals in accordance with Section 9.5(f) below; provided that the Initial Borrower shall promptly provide to the Administrative Agent a copy of any such executed amendment which does not require the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.
9.5 Transfer of Interests; Admission of Investors.
(a) Transfers by Investors.  The Initial Borrower will, promptly upon receipt thereof, deliver a copy to the Administrative Agent of any notice from any Investor in the Initial Borrower of such Investor’s bona fide intention to Transfer all or a portion of any interest in the Initial Borrower under its Constituent Documents, and will, promptly upon receipt thereof, deliver to the Administrative Agent copies of any assignment agreement, Subscription Agreement and other documentation delivered to, or required of such Investor by, the Initial Borrower in connection with such Transfer.  
(b) Admission of Investors.  Any admission of an assignee of an interest in the Initial Borrower as a substitute Investor and any admission of a Person as a new Investor of the Initial Borrower will be subject to compliance with OFAC and the requirements of Section 9.5(d) below.  The Initial Borrower will, promptly upon receipt thereof, deliver to the Administrative Agent copies of any Subscription Agreement, Side Letter and other documentation delivered to, or required of such Investor by, the Initial Borrower promptly following such admission.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) Documentation and Funding Requirements; Amendment of the Borrowing Base Certificate.  The Initial Borrower will require that any existing Investor that is an assignee will provide confirmation of its obligations under its Subscription Agreement with respect to any increase in its Commitment relating to such assignment.  If any substitute Investor to which an assignment of an interest in the Initial Borrower is made by a Borrowing Base Investor is not designated as a Borrowing Base Investor by the Administrative Agent, with the same or greater Unused Commitment as the assignor Investor and if the transferring Investor is released from its obligation to fund Contributions under the applicable Constituent Documents, the calculation described in Section 2.1(e) hereof will be made prior to the effectiveness of such substitution or assignment, as applicable, but taking into consideration the Commitments of the Investors as if such substitution or assignment will have occurred, and to the extent such substitution or assignment would cause a mandatory prepayment event, then the Initial Borrower will initiate a Demand Notice for the purpose of making such prepayment, and such assignor or assignee Investor must fund its share of the Demand Notice prior to such substitution or assignment.  In the event any Person is admitted as an additional or substitute Investor, the Initial Borrower will promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent a revised Borrowing Base Certificate to this Credit Agreement, containing the name of each Investor in the Initial Borrower and such Investor’s Commitment.  The Borrowing Base Certificate shall specify whether or not an Investor satisfied the conditions set forth in the definition of “Included Investor” or “Designated Investor”, as applicable.  The Initial Borrower shall use reasonable best efforts to give the Administrative Agent at least 
USActive 53991578.7 63






five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to any transfer of an interest in the Initial Borrower if such transferring Investor is being released from its obligations, provided that in the event the Initial Borrower fails to deliver such (5) Business Days’ notice and as a result the Administrative Agent is unable to determine whether such transferee Investor satisfies the requirements of “Included Investor” or “Designated Investor” prior to the effective date of the transfer, then such transferee Investor shall be deemed not to have satisfied such requirements until such time as the Administrative Agent can make such determination in accordance with the definition of “Included Investor” or “Designated Investor” and the Initial Borrower shall make any resulting mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.1(e) hereof prior to the consummation of such transfer.
(e) [Intentionally Omitted].  
(f) Notice of Withdrawals.  The Initial Borrower shall not permit any Investor to withdraw its interest in the Initial Borrower without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion unless (i) such withdrawal is in accordance with the terms of the Initial Borrower’s Constituent Documents or the applicable Side Letter or Subscription Agreement (i.e., the Investor is permitted to withdraw without the discretion of the Initial Borrower or where the Initial Borrower has the discretion to permit such withdrawal because, in the reasonable determination of the Initial Borrower, the failure to permit such withdrawal could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect under the Initial Borrower’s Constituent Documents) and (ii) the Initial Borrower complies with the mandatory prepayment provisions of Section 2.1(e) hereof, if applicable, prior to the effectiveness of such withdrawal.
(g) [Reserved.]  
(h) Other Transfers of Unused Commitments.  The Initial Borrower shall not cause Contributions to be made or Commitments to be transferred to (i) any Affiliate or (ii) directly to any Investment.
9.6 Commitments.  The Initial Borrower shall not: (a) except in connection with a Transfer or withdrawal of an Investor in accordance with Section 9.5 hereof, cancel, reduce, excuse, or abate the Unused Commitment of any Investor other than (i) in accordance with the Initial Borrower’s Constituent Documents or the applicable Subscription Agreement or Side Letter under circumstances where the Initial Borrower has no discretion (i.e., the applicable Investor is entitled to such cancellation, reduction, excuse or abatement under the terms of the Initial Borrower’s Constituent Documents or the applicable Subscription Agreement or Side Letter) or where the Initial Borrower has the discretion to permit such cancellation, reduction, excuse or abatement under the terms of the Initial Borrower’s Constituent Documents or the applicable Subscription Agreement or Side Letter because, in the reasonable determination of the Initial Borrower, the failure to do so could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect under the Initial Borrower’s Constituent Documents and (ii) upon advance prepayment of any amounts that will become due in accordance with Section 2.1(e) hereof after giving effect to such cancellation, reduction, excuse, or abatement; or (b) relieve, delay, postpone, compromise or abate any Investor from the making of any Contribution under the Initial Borrower’s 
USActive 53991578.7 64






Constituent Documents or the applicable Subscription Agreement or Side Letter, other than (i) in accordance with the Initial Borrower’s Constituent Documents or the applicable Subscription Agreement or Side Letter under circumstances where the Initial Borrower has no discretion (i.e., the applicable Investor is entitled to such relief, delay, postponement, compromise or abatement under the terms of the Initial Borrower’s Constituent Documents or the applicable Subscription Agreement or Side Letter) or where the Initial Borrower has the discretion to permit such relief, delay, postponement, compromise or abatement under the terms of the Initial Borrower’s Constituent Documents or the applicable Subscription Agreement or Side Letter because, in the reasonable determination of the Initial Borrower, the failure to do so could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect under the Initial Borrower’s Constituent Documents and (ii) upon advance prepayment of any amounts that will become due in accordance with Section 2.1(e) hereof after giving effect to such relief, delay, postponement, compromise or abatement.  The Initial Borrower shall promptly provide the Administrative Agent notice of any other reduction of any Investor’s Uncalled Commitment.  The Initial Borrower shall not agree to any amendment or modification (including, without limitation, any waiver) of any Side Letter or any new Side Letter which, in either case, would have a Material Adverse Effect on the right, title, security interest and Liens of the Lenders without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (it being understood and agreed that any provisions in Side Letters in existence on the Closing Date that the Initial Borrower is required to grant to a particular Investor pursuant to a most favored nations clause shall not require the Administrative Agent’s consent to the extent such provisions are included in Side Letters after the Closing Date, although such inclusion may result in such Investor not being approved as  a Borrowing Base Investor).  The Initial Borrower shall promptly provide any such new or amended Side Letter to the Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if an Investor has the right under the Initial Borrower’s Constituent Documents or the applicable Subscription Agreement or Side Letter or such excuse is reasonably required by applicable law to be excused from an Investment, the Initial Borrower shall be permitted to excuse such Investor from its Contribution with respect to such Investment and any obligations incurred with respect to such Investment, so long as any resulting prepayment to become due in accordance with Section 2.1(e) hereof as a result of such excuse is made prior to giving effect thereto.
9.7 ERISA Compliance.  Such Borrower shall not permit the imposition of a lien on the assets of such Borrower or any member of its Controlled Group under Section 303(k) or Section 4068 of ERISA which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Such Borrower shall not take any action that would cause it to fail to meet an exception under the Plan Asset Regulations which prevents the assets of such Borrower from being subject to Title I of ERISA, which would result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the Internal Revenue Code.
9.8 Dissolution.  Except as permitted by Section 9.1 hereof, without the prior written consent of all Lenders (in their sole discretion), the Initial Borrower shall not take any action to terminate or dissolve.

USActive 53991578.7 65






9.9 Compliance with Sanctions, Anti-Corruption Laws and Anti-Money Laundering Laws.   No Borrower shall directly or, to the knowledge of such Borrower, indirectly use the proceeds of any Loan hereunder, or lend, contribute, or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner, or other Person (a) for the purpose of funding any activities or business of or with a Sanctioned Person, to the extent such transactions would be prohibited by Sanctions if conducted by Persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction, (b) in any manner that would be prohibited by Sanctions or would otherwise cause a Lender to be in breach of any Sanctions, or (c) in any manner that would violate Anti-Corruption Laws.
9.10 Limitations on Distributions.  The Initial Borrower will not make, pay or declare any Distribution (as defined below) at any time except as permitted pursuant to the Initial Borrower’s Constituent Documents; provided, however, that at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default or, to the knowledge of the Initial Borrower, a Potential Default under Section 10.1(a), (h) or (i) hereof, no Distributions (other than Permitted RIC Distributions, provided that the Initial Borrower delivers a RIC Distribution Notice to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) days prior to any such Permitted RIC Distribution (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent)) shall be permitted to be made, paid or declared if there are any Obligations outstanding under this Credit Facility; provided further, that during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 10.1(a), (h) or (i) hereof, or where the Administrative Agent has accelerated the unpaid balance of the Obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof, the Initial Borrower shall not make, pay or declare any Permitted RIC Distribution, or withdraw Permitted RIC Distributions from the Collateral Account. “Distribution” means any distributions (whether or not in cash) on account of any partnership interest or other equity interest in the Initial Borrower, including as a dividend or other distribution and on account of the purchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition of any such partnership interest or other equity interest. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Investor shall be entitled to receive Distributions to which it is entitled under the Initial Borrower’s Constituent Documents and Subscription Agreement; and (ii) there shall be no limitation on the right of the Investment Advisor, the Administrator or any of their respective Affiliates to receive management or other fees or expenses under the Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement. 
9.11 Limitation on Indebtedness.  The Borrowers shall not incur Indebtedness in an aggregate amount which would violate the limitations on Indebtedness imposed on such Borrowers in the applicable Constituent Documents (including, without limitation, in the case of the Initial Borrower, Section 3.5 of the Trust Agreement) and, if applicable, under the Investment Company Act (collectively, the “Debt Limitations”).
9.12 Limitation on Withdrawals From the Collateral Account.  Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no Borrower will make or cause the making of any withdrawal or transfer of funds from the Collateral Account if: (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) a Potential Default has occurred and is continuing unless such withdrawal shall be applied first, to the payment of any amounts then due and payable by such Borrower under this Credit Agreement and thereafter to cure any other such Potential Default; 
USActive 53991578.7 66






(iii) a mandatory prepayment is required pursuant to Section 2.1(e) hereof as a result of the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations exceeding the Available Commitment, irrespective of whether such prepayment has become due and payable under the grace periods afforded in Section 2.1(e) hereof, unless such withdrawal shall be applied to such prepayment; or (iv) a mandatory prepayment will be required pursuant to Section 2.1(e) hereof with the passing of time as a result of an event with respect to a Borrowing Base Investor which event will make such Investor an Excluded Investor after an applicable grace period provided in Section 2.1(d) hereof shall expire unless such withdrawal shall be applied to such prepayment; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial Borrower may withdraw Permitted RIC Distributions from the Collateral Account at all times, except as set forth in Section 9.10 hereof.  
9.13 Demand Notices.  The Initial Borrower shall not issue any Demand Notice or otherwise request, notify, or demand that any Investor fund any Demand Notice if doing so would create a Borrowing Base Deficit, unless the proceeds thereof shall be used in payment of the Obligations of the Initial Borrower such that, after giving effect to such payment, no Borrowing Base Deficit will exist.      
9.14 Deposits to the Collateral Accounts.  Such Borrower shall not deposit or otherwise credit, or cause or permit to be so deposited or credited, to any Collateral Account cash or cash proceeds other than Contributions; provided that, in the event any deposit is made into a Collateral Account by the Initial Borrower that does not consist of Contributions or the proceeds thereof as the result of a good faith error, the Initial Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such error and, so long as no Cash Control Event has occurred and is continuing, transfer such amounts out of such Collateral Account to correct such error within two (2) Business Days of obtaining knowledge thereof.
Section 10. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
10.1 Events of Default.  An “Event of Default” shall exist if any one or more of the following events (herein collectively called “Events of Default”) shall occur and be continuing (whatever the reason for such event and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

USActive 53991578.7 71






Agent shall be required to give five (5) Business Days written notice (the “Initial Notice Period”) of its intention to exercise such remedies and, if, at any time prior to or during such Initial Notice Period, the Initial Borrower shall issue a Demand Notice to their Investors sufficient to cure such Event of Default, then the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not exercise such remedies until the Business Day following the Initial Payment Date (as defined below); provided, that: (i) such Demand Notice as issued by the Initial Borrower must require the Investors to fund their related Contribution within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such Demand Notice (such tenth (10th) Business Day being the “Initial Payment Date”); (ii) the Initial Borrower directs all Contributions received by it into the applicable Collateral Account; and (iii) the Initial Borrower directs the Depository that such Contributions and other payments by the Investors in the Initial Borrower, together with any other funds held for or credited to the Initial Borrower in a Collateral Account, shall be withdrawn by the Administrative Agent to prepay the Obligations of the Initial Borrower in their entirety; provided, further that nothing in this Section 10.2 shall prohibit the Administrative Agent or any Lender from exercising any remedies it may have with respect to (i) any Collateral Account and taking any such actions as may be required to protect their rights in a bankruptcy proceeding or (ii) any Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.1(f), (h), (i), (n), (q) or (r) or any other Event of Default that shall have occurred and be continuing that cannot be cured by the funding of Unused Commitments or which was triggered by the failure of the Initial Borrower to issue a Demand Notice upon its Investors following a mandatory prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.1(e) hereof and/or make such mandatory prepayment following the receipt of such related Contributions, in each case, as required by this Credit Agreement.
10.3 Performance by the Administrative Agent.  Should the Borrowers fail to perform any covenant, duty, or agreement contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and such failure continues beyond any applicable cure period, the Administrative Agent may (pursuant to such Loan Documents, including any collateral assignments therein to the Administrative Agent), but shall not be obligated to, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty, or agreement on behalf of such Person.  In such event, the Borrowers shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent at its designated Agency Services Address, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that neither the Agents nor the Lenders assume any liability or responsibility for the performance of any duties of the Borrowers, or any related Person hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or other control over the management and affairs of the Borrowers, or any related Person, nor by any such action shall the Agents or the Lenders be deemed to create a partnership arrangement with any Borrower, or any related Person.
10.4 Qualified Borrower Defaults.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, if an Event of Default or a Potential Default relating solely to a Qualified Borrower shall occur, upon the payment of all Obligations of such Qualified Borrower hereunder: (a) such Event of Default or Potential Default shall be deemed to be cured and (b) such Qualified Borrower shall withdraw from the Credit Facility in accordance with Section 
USActive 53991578.7 72






2.9(g) hereof; provided, however, that such withdrawal shall not be required to the extent any such Event of Default or Potential Default has been cured or waived and is no longer continuing.
Section 11. AGENTS
11.1 Appointment.
(a) Authority of the Administrative Agent.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes each Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere herein and in the other Loan Documents, no Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or shall otherwise exist against such Agent.  The provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and none of the Borrowers or any Affiliate of the foregoing (each, a “Borrower Party”) or any Investor or its Affiliates shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of the provisions hereof (except for the provisions that explicitly relate to the Borrowers in Section 11.10 hereof).  In performing its functions and duties under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of the applicable Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower Party.
(b) Release of Collateral.  The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s option and in its sole discretion, to release any security interest in or Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent: (i) upon termination of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, termination of the Lender Commitments and payment in full of all of the Obligations, including all fees and indemnified costs and expenses that are then due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents; (ii) pursuant to any express provision of any Loan Document and (iii) if approved by the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1.  Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.1(b).
11.2 Delegation of Duties.  Each Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals selected by such Agent concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care, nor shall it be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such Persons.

USActive 53991578.7 73






11.3 Exculpatory Provisions.  No Agent nor any of its affiliates, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact, shall be liable to any Lender for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection herewith or in connection with any of the other Loan Documents (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Borrower Parties contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for herein, or received by such Agent under or in connection herewith or in connection with the other Loan Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency therefor of any of the other Loan Documents, or for any failure of a Borrower Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made by any Borrower Party in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by such Agent to the Lenders or by or on behalf of the Borrower Parties to such Agent or any Lender or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or of the existence or possible existence of any Potential Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower Parties.  The Agents are not trustees for the Lenders and owe no fiduciary duty to the Lenders hereunder and/or pursuant to the Borrower Security Agreements, which  is governed by New York law.  Each Lender recognizes and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to determine independently whether the conditions described in Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) hereof have been satisfied and, when the Administrative Agent disburses funds to any Borrower, or causes Letters of Credit to be issued or accepts any Borrower Guaranties, it may rely fully upon statements contained in the relevant requests by any Borrower.
11.4 Reliance on Communications.  Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, email, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any of the Borrower Parties, independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent with reasonable care).  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of its interests hereunder for all purposes unless an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 12.11(c) hereof.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Credit Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully 
USActive 53991578.7 74






protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically required, all the Lenders) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders (including their successors and assigns).
11.5 Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower Party referring to the Loan Document, describing such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders and as is permitted by the Loan Documents.
11.6 Non-Reliance on the Agents and the Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent or any affiliate thereof hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Credit Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the  business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties which may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 
11.7 Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to, jointly and severally, indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following payment in full of the Obligations) be incurred by such Agent in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Credit 
USActive 53991578.7 75






Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such Agent.  If any indemnity furnished to an Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.  The agreements in this Section 11.7 shall survive the payment of the Obligations. 
11.8 Agents in Individual Capacity.  With respect to the Loans made and Letters of Credit issued (as applicable) and all obligations owing to it, each Agent acting in its individual capacity shall have the same rights and powers under this Credit Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include such Agent in its individual capacity.  Each Agent acting in its individual capacity and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower as though such Agent were not an agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders.
11.9 Successor Agent.  
(a) The Administrative Agent may, (i) with the written consent of the Borrowers in their sole discretion, or (ii) upon the declaration that the Obligations are immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, resign upon twenty (20) days written notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers.  In addition, the Required Lenders may remove the Administrative Agent upon twenty (20) days written notice to the Administrative Agent and Borrowers (i) for gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct or (ii) if the Administrative Agent ceases to be a Lender hereunder.  Upon any such resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent (subject, except when an Event of Default of the type described in Section 10.1(a), (h) or (i) hereof (or any other Event of Default which has continued uncured for a period of thirty (30) days) exists, to the consent of the Borrowers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within sixty (60) days after the notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent shall select a successor Administrative Agent (subject, except when an Event of Default of the type described in Section 10.1(a), (h) or (i) hereof (or any other Event of Default which has continued uncured for a period of thirty (30) days) exists, to the consent of the Borrowers, not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that such successor is an Eligible Assignee (or if no Eligible Assignee shall have been so appointed by the retiring Administrative Agent and shall have accepted such appointment, then the Lenders shall perform all obligations of the retiring Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as a successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have 
USActive 53991578.7 76






accepted such appointment as provided for above).  Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.1(a) hereof that has not been cured within sixty (60) days, in no event may any Competitor be appointed successor Administrative Agent hereunder.  
(b) Any other Agent may, at any time, resign upon twenty (20) days’ written notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers and, if no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of such Agent, such Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and subject (except when an Event of Default of the type described in Section 10.1(a), (h) or (i) hereof (or any other Event of Default which has continued uncured for a period of thirty (30) days) exists to the consent of the Borrowers, a successor Agent from any of the Lenders. If any such Agent ceases to be a Lender hereunder, it shall, without any further action, cease to be an Agent.
(c) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and shall assume the duties and obligations of such retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Section 11.9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Credit Agreement.  
11.10 Reliance by the Borrowers.  Each Borrower shall be entitled to rely upon, and to act or refrain from acting on the basis of, any notice, statement, certificate, waiver or other document or instrument delivered by an Agent to such Borrower so long as such Agent is purporting to act in its respective capacity as an Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement, and such Borrower shall not be responsible or liable to any Lender (or to any Participant or Assignee), or as a result of any action or failure to act (including actions or omissions which would otherwise constitute defaults hereunder) which is based upon such reliance upon such Agent.  Such Borrower shall be entitled to treat each Agent as a properly authorized Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement until such Borrower shall have received notice of resignation, and such Borrower shall not be obligated to recognize any successor Agent until such Borrower shall have received written notification satisfactory to it of the appointment of such successor.
11.11 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower, the Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Liability shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Liability and all other 
USActive 53991578.7 77






Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Party, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent hereunder.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Secured Party or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party in any such proceeding.
11.12 Delivery of Notices to the Lenders.  Promptly upon receipt of any written notice, report or information from the Borrowers under the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent will provide copies of such notice, report or information to the Lenders in a time and manner reasonable under the circumstances.
Section 12. MISCELLANEOUS

Except as may otherwise be provided in this Credit Agreement, neither this Credit Agreement (including the exhibits hereto) nor any other Loan Document to which any Borrower is a party (other than any Fee Letter, which may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated in accordance with its terms), nor any of the terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated, unless such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination is in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent (based upon the approval of the Required Lenders), or the Required Lenders, on the one hand, and such Borrower on the other hand (other than, in the case of this Credit Agreement, any Qualified Borrower); provided that no such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination shall, without the consent of:
(a) each Lender affected thereby:
(i) increase the amount or extend the term of the Lender Commitment of such Lender (other than an increase of the Maximum Commitment Amount pursuant to Section 2.13 hereof, an extension of the Stated Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof or a termination of Lender Commitments or a decrease of 
USActive 53991578.7 78






the Maximum Commitment Amount, in either case, pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof), decrease the amount of fees (or any other payments) payable to such Lender, or accelerate the obligations of such Lender to advance its portion of any Borrowing, as contemplated in Section 2.5 hereof or issue or participate in any Letter of Credit, as contemplated in Section 2.8 hereof;

(iii) release all or any material portion of the Collateral, except as otherwise contemplated herein or in the Collateral Documents, except in connection with the transfer or withdrawal of interests in the Borrowers permitted hereunder.

USActive 53991578.7 79






The Administrative Agent agrees that it will promptly notify each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer of any proposed waiver, modification or amendment to any Loan Document, and deliver drafts of any such proposed waiver, modification or amendment to each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer prior to the effectiveness of such proposed waiver, modification or amendment.  Notwithstanding the above: (A) no provision of Section 11 hereof may be amended or modified without the consent of the Administrative Agent; (B) no provisions of Section 2.8 hereof may be waived, amended or modified without the consent of the Letter of Credit Issuer; and (C) Section 8 and Section 9 hereof specify the requirements for waivers of the affirmative covenants and negative covenants listed therein, and any amendment to a provision of Section 8 or Section 9 hereof shall require the consent of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent that are specified therein as required for a waiver thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Credit Agreement at any time to replace LIBOR with a LIBOR Successor Rate pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof, and such amendment shall not require the consent of any other Person.  Any amendment, waiver or consent not specifically addressed in this Section 12.1 or otherwise shall be subject to the approval of Required Lenders.
Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above: (1) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans or the Letters of Credit, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein; (2) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Borrower to use Cash Collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; and (3) the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrowers, agree to the modification or waiver of any of the other terms of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any action or failure to act by any Borrower, if such modification, waiver, or consent is of an administrative nature.  If the Administrative Agent shall request the consent of any Lender to any amendment, change, waiver, discharge, termination, consent or exercise of rights covered by this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall use best efforts in good faith to give such consent or denial thereof in writing within ten (10) Business Days of the making of such request by the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, but if such Lender is unable to respond within such time, such Lender shall be deemed to have denied its consent to the request.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Schedule A to any Borrower Guaranty may be amended to identify additional Qualified Borrowers (which, for the avoidance of doubt, have been approved by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.9(a) hereof) without the consent of any Lender or other Agent.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Initial Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Initial Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.     

USActive 53991578.7 80






Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Deposit Account Control Agreement or Collateral Account Pledge may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated by the Administrative Agent in order to (i) assist with any transfer to a new Depository which is an Eligible Institution in accordance with this Credit Agreement or to otherwise reflect any change in the account number with an existing Depository or (ii) to fix an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in either case, without any further action or consent of any other party to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document if the same is, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, not materially adverse to the Lenders.
12.2 Sharing of Offsets.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of any right of counterclaim, offset, banker’s lien or otherwise, receive payment of a portion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due to such Lender hereunder which constitutes a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees then due to such Lender hereunder than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due with respect to such other Lenders under this Credit Agreement, then such Lender shall purchase participations in the Obligations under this Credit Agreement held by such other Lenders so that all such recoveries of principal, interest and fees with respect to this Credit Agreement, the Notes and the Obligations thereunder held by the Lenders shall be pro rata according to each Lender’s Lender Commitment (determined as of the date hereof and regardless of any change in any Lender’s Lender Commitment caused by such Lender’s receipt of a proportionately greater or lesser payment hereunder).
12.3 Sharing of Collateral.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Lender and the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, agrees that if it shall, through the receipt of any proceeds from a Demand Notice or the exercise of any remedies under any Collateral Documents, receive or be entitled to receive payment of a portion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due to it under this Credit Agreement which constitutes a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees then due to such Lender under this Credit Agreement than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due with respect to any Obligations to such Lender under this Credit Agreement, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, as the case may be, shall purchase participations in the Obligations under this Credit Agreement held by such other Lenders so that all such recoveries of principal, interest and fees with respect to this Credit Agreement, the Notes and the Obligations thereunder held by the Lenders shall be pro rata according to each Lender’s Lender Commitment (determined as of the date hereof and regardless of any change in any Lender’s Lender Commitment caused by such Lender’s receipt of a proportionately greater or lesser payment hereunder).  Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to coordinate and implement the sharing of collateral contemplated by this Section 12.3 prior to the distribution of proceeds from Demand Notices or proceeds from the exercise of remedies under the Collateral Documents prior to making any distributions of such proceeds to each Lender or the Administrative Agent, in their respective capacity as the Lenders.

USActive 53991578.7 81






12.4 Waiver.  No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Agents or the Lenders, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The rights of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law.  No modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved.  No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand.  Subject to Section 12.1 hereof, the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of all Lenders, and the Initial Borrower may from time to time enter into agreements amending or changing any provision of this Credit Agreement or the rights of the Lenders or the Borrowers hereunder, or may grant waivers or consents to a departure from the due performance of the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent of the Administrative Agent being effective to bind all the Lenders, except as provided in Section 12.1 hereof. A waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.
12.5 Payment of Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) The Initial Borrower agrees to pay (within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent) (i) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of one designated law firm in each applicable jurisdiction acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent) reasonably and actually incurred by it in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents and any and all amendments, modifications, waivers and supplements thereof or thereto and (ii) if an Event of Default exists, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including, without limitation, the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ legal counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the preservation and enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights under this Credit Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents.
(b) The Initial Borrower agrees to indemnify each of the Agents and the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (each such Person, including, without limitation, each of the Agents and the Lenders, being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, actions, judgments, suits, disbursements, penalties, damages (other than consequential damages), liabilities and related expenses and counsel fees and expenses (including, without limitation, the counsel fees and expenses incurred in the enforcement of any Loan Documents against any Borrower), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of:

USActive 53991578.7 82






(i) the execution, delivery and enforcement of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby;
(ii) the use or misuse of the proceeds of the Loans;
(iii) the fraudulent actions or misrepresentations of any Borrower or its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any breach by any Borrower of its obligations under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing or relating to any transaction contemplated hereby, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, apply to any such losses, claims, actions, judgments, suits, disbursements, penalties, damages, liabilities or related expenses as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from gross negligence, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or from any dispute between or among the Indemnitees and not involving any Borrower; provided further that this Section 12.5(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or like items arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c) WITHOUT LIMITATION OF AND SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, THE INITIAL BORROWER INTENDS AND AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNITEE WITH RESPECT TO ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE REASONABLE FEES AND EXPENSES OF COUNSEL) WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OR CLAIMS OF NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH OR ANY OTHER INDEMNITEE OR ANY STRICT LIABILITY OR CLAIMS OF STRICT LIABILITY.
(d) The provisions of this Section 12.5 shall survive termination of this Credit Agreement, and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the Commitment Period, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the occurrence of the Maturity Date, the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders.  All amounts due under this Section 12.5 shall be payable promptly on written demand therefor.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) delivery by posting to Intralinks or any similar secure website which is available to the Administrative Agent shall be an acceptable form of delivery for any report, statement or copy of Investor Demand Notices required of the applicable Borrowers pursuant to Section 8.1(a), 8.1(b)(iv)(A) and (B), 8.1(c)(i) or 8.1(i) hereof, so long as such posting is accompanied by a notice delivered via email in accordance with the procedures for electronic communications set forth in this clause (b) and (ii) documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.5 (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which such documents are posted on a publicly available website maintained by or on behalf of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for access to documents filed in the EDGAR database.
12.7 Governing Law.  This Credit Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
12.8 Choice of Forum; Consent to Service of Process and Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury.  Any suit, action or proceeding against any Borrower with respect to this Credit Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof, may be brought in the courts of the State of New York, or in the United States Courts located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, pursuant to Section 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, as the Lenders in their sole discretion may elect and each party hereto hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of 
USActive 53991578.7 85






any such suit, action or proceeding.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in said court by the mailing thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party’s address set forth in Section 12.6 hereof.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives any objections which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Credit Agreement or the Notes brought in the courts located in the State of New York, Borough of Manhattan in New York City, and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, WHICH WAIVER IS INFORMED AND VOLUNTARY.
12.9 Invalid Provisions.  If any provision of this Credit Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Credit Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable and this Credit Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Credit Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Credit Agreement, unless such continued effectiveness of this Credit Agreement, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein.  If any provision of this Credit Agreement shall conflict with or be inconsistent with any provision of any of the other Loan Documents, then the terms, conditions and provisions of this Credit Agreement shall prevail.
12.10 Entirety.  The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
12.11 Parties Bound; Assignment.
(a) Parties Bound.  The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that, except as expressly permitted hereby, no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its respective rights under this Credit Agreement without the prior written consent of all the Lenders.
(b) Participations.  Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (each a “Participant”) a participating interest in its Lender Commitment or any or all of its Loans; provided that (i) such Lender has provided prior written notice to the Borrowers, (ii) any such participation shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, and, if in a greater amount, in integral multiples of $5,000,000 (or such Lender’s entire remaining Commitment) and (iii) prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.1(a) hereof that has not been cured within sixty (60) days, no such participation shall be granted to any Competitor.  In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall 
USActive 53991578.7 86






remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrowers and each Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the Obligations including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement.  The voting rights of each Participant shall be limited to (i) reductions or increases in the amount, or altering the term, of the Lender Commitment of such Participant and (ii) changes to the Maturity Date or interest rate.  The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4 and Section 5.3 hereof with respect to its participating interest; provided that in no event shall the Borrowers be obligated to pay to such Participant amounts greater than those the Borrowers would have been required to pay to the granting Lender in the absence of such participation; and provided, further, that the Participant shall have complied with the obligations of such sections as though such Participant were a Lender (including the requirements under Section 4.7(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.7(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)).  An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Credit Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest which is permitted in accordance with this subsection (b).  Each Lender that sells a participating interest in any Loan, Lender Commitment or other interest to a Participant shall, as agent of the Borrowers solely for the purpose of this Section 12.11(b), record in book entries maintained by such Lender the name and the amount of the participating interest of each Participant entitled to receive payments in respect of such participating interests (the “Participant Register”).  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Credit Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(c) Assignments.  With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and with the prior written consent of the Initial Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and such consent of the Borrowers not to be required for assignments to another existing Lender or during the existence of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 10.1(a), (h) or (i) hereof, or any other Event of Default which has continued uncured for a period of thirty (30) days), any Lender may (at its expense) at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part of all (in a constant, not varying, percentage), of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement; provided that:
(i) this Section 12.11(c) shall not restrict an assignment or other transfer by any Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, but no such assignment to a 
USActive 53991578.7 87






Federal Reserve Bank shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder;
(ii) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, or the assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, any assignment shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, and, if in a greater amount, in integral multiples of $5,000,000 (or such Lender’s entire remaining Lender Commitment); provided that, no Lender shall have a Lender Commitment of less than $5,000,000 following any such assignment (unless the assigning Lender shall have assigned all of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement);
(iii) prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.1(a) hereof that has not been cured within sixty (60) days, the assignee shall not be a Competitor;
(iv) the assignee shall provide any required documentation under Section 4.7 of this Credit Agreement; and
(v) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, the Assignee shall pay to the transferor Lender an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, and the transferor Lender shall deliver payment of a processing and recordation fee of $5,000 to the Administrative Agent.
(d) Consequences of Assignment.  Upon execution and delivery of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Lender party to this Credit Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Lender Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required.
(e) Addition of Lenders.  With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, at the request of the Borrowers, a new lender may join the Credit Facility as a Lender by delivering a Joinder Agreement to the Administrative Agent, and such new Lender shall assume all rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that:
(i) the Lender Commitment of the new Lender shall be in addition to the Lender Commitment of the existing Lenders in effect on the date of such new Lender’s entry into the Credit Facility and the Maximum Commitment Amount shall be increased in a corresponding amount;

USActive 53991578.7 88






(ii) the Lender Commitment of the new Lender shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, and, if in a greater amount, in integral multiples of $1,000,000 (in each case, or such lesser amount agreed to by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing);
(iii) the new Lender shall provide any required documentation under Section 4.7 hereof; and
(iv) the parties shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement, the Borrowers shall execute such new Notes as the Administrative Agent or any Lender may reasonably request, and the new Lender shall deliver payment of a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent.
(f) Register of Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its principal offices in New York or at such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to each Lender and the Borrowers, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and Joinder Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Lender Commitments and the Loans, and the name and address of each Lender’s agent for service of process in the State of New York (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each person or entity whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection and copying by any Borrower or any Lender during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent.  A Lender may change its address and its agent for service of process upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be effective upon actual receipt by the Administrative Agent, which receipt will be acknowledged by the Administrative Agent upon request.  Upon receipt of any Assignment and Acceptance Agreement or Joinder Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been completed, fully-executed and is substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto or if such Joinder Agreement has been completed, fully-executed and is substantially in the form of Exhibit O attached hereto:  (i) accept such an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement or Joinder Agreement; (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers.
(g) Disclosure of Information.  Any Lender may furnish any information concerning any Borrower Party in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 12.17 hereof.
12.12 Lender Default.  If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or the Borrowers at law or in equity, such Lender’s right to vote on matters related to this Credit 
USActive 53991578.7 89






Agreement, and to participate in the administration of the Loans, the Letters of Credit and this Credit Agreement, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal or other event that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire at par all of such Lender’s Lender Commitment, including its Pro Rata Share in the Obligations under this Credit Agreement.  In the event that the Administrative Agent does not exercise its right to so acquire all of such Lender’s interests, then each Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender (a “Current Party”) shall then, thereupon, have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to acquire (or if more than one Current Party exercises such right, each Current Party shall have the right to acquire, pro rata) at par such Defaulting Lender’s Lender Commitment, including its Pro Rata Share in the outstanding Obligations under this Credit Agreement.
12.13 Maximum Interest.  Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, in no event shall the rate of interest payable by any Borrower with respect to any Loan exceed the Maximum Rate.
12.14 Headings.  Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Credit Agreement.
12.15 Survival.  All representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein shall survive delivery of the Notes, the making of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit.
12.16 Full Recourse.  Notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents to the contrary, the payment and performance of the Obligations of each Borrower shall, subject to Section 3.1 hereof, be fully recourse to such Borrower and its properties and assets, as applicable.  Notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Obligations shall not be recourse to any Investor or any Investments.
12.17 Availability of Records; Confidentiality.  (a) The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent may provide to the Lenders, and that the Administrative Agent and each Lender may provide to any other Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender or Participant or Assignee or proposed Participant or Assignee or any other Person as deemed necessary or appropriate in any Lender’s reasonable judgment, originals or copies of this Credit Agreement, all Loan Documents and all other documents, certificates, opinions, letters of credit, reports, and other material information of every nature or description, and may communicate all oral information, at any time submitted by or on behalf of any Borrower or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender in connection with the Loans, the Letter of Credit Liability, the Lender Commitments or any Borrower; provided that, prior to any such delivery or communication, the Lender, Affiliate of a Lender, Participant, or Assignee, or proposed Participant or Assignee or such other Person, as the case may be, shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of all data and information which constitutes Confidential Information; (b) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (i) acknowledge and agree that (x) the identities of the Investors, any structural or financial information delivered by the Investors, the amounts of their respective Commitments and details regarding their investments under the Constituent Documents (collectively, the “Investor Information”) have been and will be 
USActive 53991578.7 90






delivered on a confidential basis; and (y) information with respect to Investments has been and will be delivered on a confidential basis; (ii) acknowledge and agree that such Investor Information and information with respect to Investments are Confidential Information; and (iii) agree that such Investor Information and information with respect to Investments shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 12.17; and (c) anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 12.17 shall not preclude or restrict any such party from disclosing any Confidential Information:  (i) with the prior written consent of any Borrower; (ii) upon the order of or pursuant to the rules and regulations of any Governmental Authority or regulatory body having or reasonably claiming to have jurisdiction over such party; (iii) in connection with any audit by an independent public accountant of such party, provided such auditor thereto agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.17; (iv) to examiners or auditors of any applicable Governmental Authority which examines such party’s books and records while conducting such examination or audit; (v) to the Lenders’ respective attorneys, certified public accountants or agents, provided that such recipient has been advised of the confidential nature of such information and been instructed to keep such information confidential; (vi) as otherwise specifically required by applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (vii) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the enforcement of rights thereunder; (viii) to the extent such information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.17 or (B) becomes available to such Person on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers; or (ix) which relates to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such Person relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, to taxing authorities. Notwithstanding the termination of this Credit Agreement, each Lender agrees to hold Confidential Information in accordance with its internal document retention policies and procedures for two (2) years following the termination of this Credit Agreement, which policies and procedures, as of the date hereof, provide that information considered confidential shall be held on a confidential basis.
12.18 USA Patriot Act Notice.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.
12.19 Multiple Counterparts.   This Credit Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Credit Agreement by signing any such counterpart.  Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof, or a signature page hereto, by facsimile or in a .pdf or similar file shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart thereof.

USActive 53991578.7 91






12.20 Judgment Currency.  Subject to Section 3.1 hereof, each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agents and the Lenders from and against any loss incurred by any of them as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for an amount due from such Borrower under or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and such judgment or order being paid or payable in a currency other than the applicable currency (the “Judgment Currency”) as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the applicable currency amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which the relevant indemnified party is able to purchase the applicable currency with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by such Person.  The foregoing indemnity shall constitute separate and independent obligations of the Borrowers and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid.  The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion of, the relevant currency.
12.21 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail‐In of EEA Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write‐down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b) the effects of any Bail‐In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write‐down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
