**Item 1.01 - Entry into A Material Definitive Agreement**

Altus Power, Inc. ("Altus Power" or the "Company), through its subsidiaries, APA Finance III Borrower, LLC (the "Borrower"), and APA Finance III Borrower Holdings, LLC ("Holdings") has entered into a new long-term funding facility under the terms of a Credit Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2023, among the Borrower, Holdings, Blackstone Asset Based Finance Advisors LP, which is an affiliate of the Company, U.S. Bank Trust Company, N.A., as administrative agent, U.S. Bank N.A., as document custodian, and the lenders party thereto (the "Credit Agreement").

This funding facility provides for a term loan of $204 million at a fixed rate of 5.62%, while amounts are outstanding under the term loan. The term loan has an anticipated repayment date of June 30, 2033 ("Anticipated Repayment Date"). The maturity date of the term loan is October 31, 2047. Upon lender approval, the Borrower has the right to increase the funding facility to make additional draws for certain acquisitions of solar assets that otherwise satisfy the criteria for Permitted Acquisitions, as set forth in the Credit Agreement. On February 15, 2023, the Company borrowed $193 million from this facility to fund the True Green II Acquisition (defined in Item 2.01 below) and associated costs and expenses of the True Green II Acquisition, and expects to borrow the remaining $11 million upon the completion of certain development assets of the True Green II Acquisition when they are placed in service.

The Credit Agreement contains provisions relating to voluntary prepayments, which may be made without penalty, mandatory prepayments and financial performance covenants, including regarding indebtedness, dispositions, restricted payments, and maintaining a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.10:1.00 on the last day of each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower for which financial statements have been delivered to the administrative agent. Borrower will make quarterly interest and principal payments during the term of the facility as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The term loan amortizes at a rate of 2.5% of initial outstanding principal per annum until the Anticipated Repayment Date. Borrower has also entered into a promissory note in connection with the Credit Agreement in favor of Security Life of Denver Insurance Company (the "Class A Note") with respect to its obligations under the Credit Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the Class A Note is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and both are incorporated herein by reference.

The base purchase price for these assets is approximately $293 million, subject to customary working capital adjustments. The base purchase price and associated costs and expenses was funded by $193 million from the Credit Agreement facility and the remainder with cash. The Company also held back an aggregate $12.4 million as security for indemnification claims which are expected to be paid within nine months after closing, contingent upon completion of development assets. The purchase price is also subject to adjustments for working capital and other items, which are expected to be resolved within 60 days of closing.

The foregoing description of the Acquisition Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Acquisition Agreement, a copy of which is filed

![](projectgoldendaisy_purch061.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;56 Closing Date and the indemnity obligation set forth in clause (iv) shall not survive the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (the "Indemnity Outside Date"), and in connection with any Claim for which a Claim Notice has been submitted in accordance with this Section 6.17 prior to the Indemnity Outside Date, that has not been fully and finally settled as of the Indemnity Outside Date (in which case such indemnity obligation shall expire at such time that such Claim has been fully and finally resolved). For purposes of this Section 6.17, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty and any calculation of Indemnifiable Losses shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

Following submission of a Claim, Buyer shall promptly provide Seller with all supporting documentation reasonably requested by Seller in assessing the amount, nature and valid basis of the Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer's failure to send promptly or delay in sending a Claim Notice (provided, that such Claim Notice in each case is sent prior to the Indemnity Outside Date) shall not relieve Seller from liability hereunder with respect to such Claim except to the extent Seller is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. (c) Following the assertion of any third-party Claim for which, by the terms of this Agreement, Seller is obligated to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Person, Seller shall have the right, at Seller's expense, to assume the defense of such third-party Claim including the appointment and selection of counsel; provided that, if Buyer reasonably determines that a conflict exists between Buyer and Seller that might result in a material prejudice to Buyer, then, subject to the limitations in this Section 6.17, the fees and expenses of one counsel of Buyer shall be paid by Seller. If Seller elects to assume the defense of any such third-party Claim, it shall, within 30 days, notify Buyer in writing of its intent to do so. Seller shall have the right to settle or compromise or take any corrective or remediation action with respect to any such Claim by all appropriate Proceedings, which Proceedings shall be diligently prosecuted by Seller to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of Seller. Buyer shall be entitled, at such Buyer's own cost, to participate with Seller in the defense of any such Claim. If Seller assumes the defense of any such third-party Claim but fails to diligently prosecute such Claim, or if Seller does not assume the defense of any such Claim, Buyer may assume control of such defense (which shall include the right to settle, compromise, take any corrective or remedial action or enter into an agreed judgment or consent decree with respect to such Claim) and if it is determined by a court or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction that such Claim was a matter for which the Seller is required to provide indemnification under the terms of this Section 6.17, then Seller shall indemnify Buyer for any Indemnifiable Losses resulting from such third-party Claim in accordance with Section 6.17(a), but subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.17. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall not be permitted to (i) assume the defense of any third-party Claim that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against any Buyer Indemnified Person, or (ii) settle, compromise, take any corrective or remedial action or enter into an agreed judgment or consent decree in each case, that

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;57 (A) involves any finding or admission of any Liability of Buyer, or (B) involves relief other than monetary damages that are to be paid in full by Seller, in the case of clauses (A) - (B), without Buyer's prior written consent. (e) Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 6.17, (i) Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for indemnification under Section 6.17(a) (i) for any individual Claim where the Indemnifiable Losses resulting therefrom are less than $16,000 and (ii) unless the aggregate amount of all Indemnifiable Losses exceeds $82,000 (the "Threshold Amount"), in which event Seller shall only be liable for Indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount. (ii) In no event shall Seller's liability to indemnify Buyer under Section 6.17(a)(i) through (iii) exceed the General Claims Escrow Amount (as may be reduced pursuant to Section 2.04(c)), and any Claim to be paid by Seller in accordance with Section 6.17(a)(i) through (iii) shall be paid solely from the General Claims Escrow Account. In no event shall Seller's liability to indemnify Buyer under Section 6.17(a)(iv) with respect to any Development Project exceed the sum of (A) the Applicable Development Project Holdback Amount plus (B) the sum of all amounts required to be paid by Buyer or any of its Affiliates to G-I Energy Investments LLC in accordance with the terms of the Solar Energy (Fund III) Partnership II LLC Agreement in connection with any claim by G-I Energy Investments LLC thereunder for the failure of Development Project Substantial Completion to occur with respect to such Development Project. For the avoidance of doubt, recovery of Indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 6.17(a)(iv), subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.17, constitutes Buyer's sole remedy for the failure of Seller to cause Development Project Substantial Completion to occur, whether prior to, at or following the Closing. (iii) The amount of any Indemnifiable Losses payable under this Section 6.17 shall be calculated net of any amounts actually recovered by Buyer or its applicable Affiliate under applicable insurance policies (including any representation and warranty insurance policy) or from any other Person responsible therefor, but shall be increased by any direct, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses and any insurance premium increases solely to the extent directly attributable to any claim made in connection with the Indemnifiable Loss, in each case, to the extent incurred by such indemnified Person in collecting such amounts. In no event shall any Buyer Indemnified Person be required to pursue such recoveries. If the Buyer or its applicable Affiliate receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person responsible for any Indemnifiable Losses, subsequent to an indemnification payment from Seller or from the General Claim Escrow Account or the Applicable Development Project Holdback Amount, then Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for any payment made or expense incurred by the indemnified Person in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by such indemnified Person, net of any direct, out-of-pocket expenses, deductible and premium adjustments incurred by such indemnified Person in collecting such amount; (iv) Buyer shall not have any right to claim an Indemnifiable Loss pursuant to this Section 6.17 to the extent that such Indemnifiable Loss has been taken into account in the calculation of the Closing Adjustment Amount; and

------

![](projectgoldendaisy_purch063.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;58 (v) In no event shall Indemnifiable Losses include special, exemplary, punitive, consequential, incidental and indirect damages, lost profits (including damages on account of lost opportunities), lost production or losses based on diminution of value or calculated by reference to any multiple of earnings or earnings before tax, depreciation or amortization (or any other valuation methodology) except, in each case, to the extent that such losses or damages are the reasonably foreseeable result of the underlying event giving rise to such Indemnifiable Losses. (f) In connection with any Indemnifiable Loss for which Seller is required to indemnify Buyer hereunder, no less than five Business Days after such amount is agreed between Seller and Buyer or finally resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction, Buyer and Seller shall jointly instruct (i) the Escrow Agent, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, to disburse to Buyer out of the General Claims Escrow Account an aggregate amount in cash equal to such Indemnifiable Losses subject to Section 6.17(e), by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars to such account(s) specified by Buyer to the Escrow Agent in writing or (ii) Buyer to release out of the Applicable Development Project Holdback Amount (as applicable) an aggregate amount in cash equal to such Indemnifiable Losses subject to Section 6.17(e); provided that Seller shall not be obligated to execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent or Buyer any joint written instruction, and Buyer shall not be entitled to unilaterally execute and deliver any written instruction to the Escrow Agent or otherwise release any portion of the General Claims Escrow Amount or the Applicable Development Project Holdback Amount pursuant to this Section 6.17 if Seller in good faith disputes the Claim or the calculation of the Indemnifiable Losses. (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, from and after the Closing, the Applicable Development Project Holdback Amount with respect to each Development Project shall be paid to Seller as follows: (i) On the Development Project First Release Date with respect to any Development Project, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to one-third of the Applicable Development Project Holdback Amount, minus the amount of any Claim made by Buyer in accordance with Section 6.17(a)(iv) and Section 6.17(b) and not previously paid from the General Claims Escrow Account or the Applicable Development Project Holdback Amount; and (ii) On the Development Project Final Release Date with respect to any Development Project, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the remaining two-thirds of the Applicable Development Project Holdback Amount, minus the amount of any Claim made by Buyer in accordance with Section 6.17(a)(iv) and Section 6.17(b) (without duplication of any Claims for which amounts have already been taken into account in clause (i) above) and not previously paid from the General Claims Escrow Account or the Applicable Development Project Holdback Amount, minus any Development Project Capital Expenditures not taken into account in the Closing Adjustment Amount or otherwise paid by Seller or any of its Affiliates (without duplication of amounts subject to any Claim for which reductions have been taken into account in Section 6.17(g)(i) or this Section 6.17(g)(ii)). (iii) If, upon the full and final resolution of all Claims made by Buyer in accordance with Section 6.17(a) and Section 6.17(b), Buyer shall promptly (and no later than five Business Days after such determination) pay the remaining portion (if any) of the Development

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;71 of its direct and indirect equity holders, Affiliates and Representatives, and its and their respective Affiliates and Representatives, and each of the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns of each of the foregoing (each, a "Releasing Person"), hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges each of the other Parties, each of the Acquired Companies, each of their respective Affiliates, each of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the foregoing and the Representatives of each of the foregoing (each, a "Released Person") from, and agrees not to assert any cause of action or Proceeding with respect to, any Losses or Liabilities whatsoever, of any kind or nature, whether at law or in equity ("Released Claims"), which have been or could have been asserted against any Released Person, which any Releasing Person has or ever had, which arises out of or in any way relates to events, circumstances or actions occurring, existing or taken prior to or as of the Closing Date in respect of matters relating to Seller's ownership of the Company Interests or Seller's ownership or operation of the Acquired Companies or their respective businesses. Section 10.16 Buyer Parent Guaranty. (a) As a material inducement to Seller's willingness to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Buyer Parent hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranties to Seller as a primary obligation that Buyer shall fully, completely and timely pay, perform and discharge all of its obligations and Liabilities under this Agreement (the "Obligations"). Upon default by Buyer of any of the Obligations, Seller may proceed directly against Buyer Parent pursuant to the guaranty set forth in this Section 10.16 (the "Buyer Parent Guaranty") without proceeding against Buyer or any other Person or pursuing any other remedy, and Buyer Parent shall, upon the written request of Seller ("Performance Demand"), immediately pay, perform and discharge such Obligations. A single Performance Demand shall be effective as to any specific default during the continuance of such default until Buyer or Buyer Parent shall have cured such default, and additional written demands concerning such default shall not be required until such default is cured. (b) This Buyer Parent Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. There are no conditions precedent to the enforcement of this Buyer Parent Guaranty. The obligations of Buyer Parent hereunder shall be continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by (i) any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability against Buyer of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument delivered pursuant hereto; (ii) any modification, amendment, restatement, waiver or rescission of, or any consent to the departure from, any of the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument delivered pursuant hereto; (iii) any exercise or non-exercise by Seller of any right or privilege under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument delivered pursuant hereto or any notice of such exercise or non-exercise; (iv) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any Obligation, by operation of law or otherwise, or any assignment of any Obligation by Seller; (v) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Buyer; (vi) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar Proceeding affecting Buyer or Buyer's assets or any resulting release or discharge of any Obligation; (vii) any requirement that Seller exhaust any right or remedy or take any action against Buyer or any other Person before seeking to enforce the obligations of Buyer Parent under this Buyer Parent Guaranty; (viii) the existence of any defense, set-off or other rights (other than a defense of payment, performance or discharge) that Buyer

------

![](projectgoldendaisy_purch077.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;72 Parent may have at any time against Buyer or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; (ix) any other act or failure to act or delay of any kind by Buyer or any other Person; or (x) any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Buyer Parent Guaranty, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Obligations or the obligations of Buyer Parent hereunder, including all defenses of a surety. (c) This Buyer Parent Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or performance, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored, returned or rejected by Seller for any reason, including upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Buyer, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Buyer or any substantial part of Buyer's property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. Buyer Parent agrees that it will indemnify Seller on demand for all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Seller in connection with such rescission or restoration, which amounts shall be in addition to all other obligations hereunder. If Seller is required to refund part or all of any payment of Buyer with respect to any of the Obligations, such payment shall not constitute a release of Buyer Parent from any Liability hereunder, and Buyer Parent's Liability hereunder shall be reinstated to the fullest extent allowed under applicable Law and shall not be construed to be diminished in any manner. (d) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to and in accordance with Section 9.01, then there shall be no Liability on the part of Buyer Parent in respect of this Agreement; provided that (a) the provisions set forth in this Section 10.16 shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms and (b) such termination shall not relieve Buyer Parent from any Liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination. Section 10.17 Conflict Waiver. Each of Seller and Buyer, on behalf of itself and its respective Affiliates (including, with respect to Buyer, the Acquired Companies following the Closing), acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with any dispute, Proceeding, Liability, obligation or other matter, including any dispute between Buyer, the Acquired Companies and/or any of its or their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller and/or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, or with or between any other Persons, in each case solely with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (a) as to all communications among Kirkland & Ellis LLP ("Seller's Counsel"), the Acquired Companies, Seller and/or any of its Affiliates, the attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection and the expectation of client confidence belongs solely to Seller and/or its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies), and may be controlled by Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies), and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer, the Acquired Companies, or any of its or their respective Affiliates and (b) Seller's Counsel may disclose to Seller and/or its Affiliates any information learned by Seller's Counsel in the course of its representation of Seller, the Acquired Companies or its or their respective Affiliates in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether or not such information is subject to attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, of Seller's Counsel's duty of confidentiality. Accordingly, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not have or seek access to any such communications, or to the files of Seller's Counsel related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether or not the Closing occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) to the extent that files of Seller's

64 (b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Blackstone Representative and each Agent such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Agent). Section 2.08 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.10(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Blackstone Representative or the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Blackstone Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of each Interest Rate determined in accordance with the definition thereof. Section 2.09 Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) The Borrowings made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the Register and the corresponding accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the Register and the corresponding accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. (b) Any Lender may request that its Loans of any Class to the Borrower be evidenced by a Note of such Class in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 or B-2, as applicable. In such event, the Borrower shall promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note of such Class payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and otherwise appropriately completed. Thereafter, the Loans of such Class of such Lender evidenced by such Note of such Class and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 11.07) be represented by one or more Notes of such Class payable to such Lender and its registered assigns, except to the extent that such Lender (or registered assignee) subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in clause (a) of this Section 2.09. At the time of any payment or prepayment in full of the Loans evidenced by any Note, such Note shall be surrendered to the Borrower promptly (but no more than 10 Business Days) following such payment or prepayment in full. Any such Note shall be cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note. (c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.09(a), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.09(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and

![](altusfundiii-termloancre070.jpg)

65 payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Section 2.10 Payments Generally. (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents in respect of principal of, interest on, or other amounts owing in respect of, the Loans shall be made in Dollars pursuant to the Priority of Payments. All amounts payable to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or otherwise (including, but not limited to, fees) shall be paid to the Collateral Agent for the account of the Person entitled thereto. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Corporate Trust Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each applicable Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender's applicable Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon New York City time shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day, in the Administrative Agent's sole discretion, and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. (b) Except as otherwise provided herein, if any payment to be made by the 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; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. (c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then: (i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Overnight Bank Funding Rate, plus any

------

![](altusfundiii-termloancre071.jpg)

66 reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing; and (ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the "Compensation Period") at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Bank Funding Rate, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. (e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation. (f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. (g) Payment of principal on any Class of Loans shall be applied to each Borrowed Amount of such Class pro rata based on the outstanding principal amount thereof. Section 2.11 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or any security therefor, any payment

------

![](altusfundiii-termloancre072.jpg)

67 or distribution (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or distribution in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or distribution is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant permitted hereunder. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 11.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.11 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. Section 2.12 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: (i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender's right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01. (ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts to be paid for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or Article IX or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Blackstone Representative as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to an Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default

------

![](altusfundiii-termloancre073.jpg)

68 has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Blackstone Representative and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Article IV were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. (i) [Reserved]. (ii) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Blackstone Representative agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender. Section 2.13 Erroneous Payment. (a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient, a "Payment Recipient") that the Administrative Agent has determined in its reasonable discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a

69 payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an "Erroneous Payment") and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than seven Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall constitute a "Payment Recipient." (b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case: (i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and (ii) such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.13(b). For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient's obligations pursuant to Section 2.13(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made. (c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise

------

![](altusfundiii-termloancre075.jpg)

70 payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. (d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an "Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency"), upon the Administrative Agent's notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "Erroneous Payment Impacted Class") in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the "Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment") (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (v) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, subject to Section 11.07 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)), sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and

------

![](altusfundiii-termloancre076.jpg)

71 (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time. (e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the "Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights")(provided that the Loan Parties' Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 2.13 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment. (f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine. (g) Each party's obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 2.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document. ARTICLE III TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY Section 3.01 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments made by or on account of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by any Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable Withholding Agent) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, then (A) to the extent the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Loan

![](altusfundiii-termloancre077.jpg)

72 Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholding of an Indemnified Tax applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholding for Indemnified Taxes been made, (B) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholding, (C) the applicable Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (D) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as practicable thereafter), if a Loan Party is the applicable Withholding Agent, shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. (c) The Loan Parties agree to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable by such Agent or such Lender (including Indemnified Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith by such Agent or Lender (or by an Agent on behalf of such Lender), accompanied by a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or Agent (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified such Lender or Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.07 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by such Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by any such Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes each such Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by such Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to such Agent under this paragraph (d). (e) Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, provide the Borrower and such Agent with any documentation prescribed by Law certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under the Loan Documents. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by

73 applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent as will enable the Borrower or such Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (e), the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in any of Section 3.01(e)(i), Section 3.01(e)(ii) (other than Section 3.01(e)(ii)(E)) and Section 3.01(e)(iii) below) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the foregoing: (i) Each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or such Agent) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. (ii) Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or such Agent) whichever of the following is applicable: (A) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms), establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty, (B) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms), (C) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (a) a United States Tax Compliance Certificate and (b) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form), (D) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9

74 and/or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if the Lender is a partnership, and one or more direct or indirect beneficial partners of such Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of each such partner), or (E) two properly completed and duly signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the Treasury Regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding Tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. (iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower and any such Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and each such Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(d)(iii), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders any such documentation described in this Section 3.01(d) obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in writing of its inability to do so. (f) If the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.01 to any Lender, or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender, any such Lender shall, if requested by the Borrower, use its reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office (or take any other measures reasonably requested by the Borrower) if such a change or other measures would reduce any such additional amounts (including any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, result in any unreimbursed cost or expense or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender. (g) If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent of either, if applicable) is not a U.S. Person, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (and any sub-

75 agent of either, if applicable), as applicable, shall deliver to the Borrower on or before the date on which it becomes Agent (or sub-agent) under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower) (i) an accurate and complete signed copy of IRS Form W- 8ECI with respect to any amounts payable to such Agent (or sub-agent) for its own account and (ii) an accurate and complete signed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY with respect to any amounts payable to such Agent (or sub-agent) for the account of others, certifying that it is a "U.S. branch," and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments (and the Borrower and such Agent (and any sub-agent) agree to so treat such Agent (and any sub-agent thereof, if applicable) as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments as contemplated by, and in accordance with, Sections 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) of the United States Treasury Regulations). If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (and any sub- agent of either, if applicable) is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to the Borrower on or before the date on which it becomes Agent (or sub-agent) under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower) an accurate and complete Form W-9 setting forth an exemption from backup withholding. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders any such documentation described in this Section 3.01(f) obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower) or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its inability to do so. (h) If any Lender or Agent receives a refund in respect of any Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund to the indemnifying party (but only to the extent of indemnification or additional amounts paid under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund, net of any Taxes payable by any Agent or Lender on such interest); provided that the indemnifying party upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after- Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other person. (i) For the avoidance of doubt, the term "Law" for purposes of this Section 3.01 includes FATCA. (j) Each party's obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent or any assignment of rights by,

Section 3.02 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy. (a) If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of any Change in Law or such Lender's compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.02(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, then from time to time within ten (10) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.03), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. (b) If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender's holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.03) the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered within ten (10) days after receipt of such demand. (c) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation. (d) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.02, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.02 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.02(d) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.02(a), (b) or (c).

77 Section 3.03 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation. (a) Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. (b) With respect to any Lender's claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or 3.02, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such nine month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Section 3.04 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. (a) If at any time (i)(x) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments described in Section 3.01 or 3.02 as a result of any condition described in such Sections and (y) such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.02, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at its sole cost and expense, on five (5) Business Days' prior written notice (or such shorter time as the Administrative Agent may agree) to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 11.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that any assignment to any Eligible Assignee of less than all of the rights and obligations of such Lender (including, without limitation, its Commitments and Loans of each Class) must be made in the same proportion among Classes of Loans and Commitments as were held by such Lender prior to such assignment); provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided further that (A) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.02 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to, and shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of, the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, 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 Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. (b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.04(a)(x) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender's applicable Commitment and outstanding Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Blackstone Representative. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender's Commitment and outstanding Loans, (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to

In connection with any such replacement, if any such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such replacement within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the part of the Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender. (c) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Blackstone Representative has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of each Lender or each affected Lender in accordance with the terms of Section 11.01 and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a "Non-Consenting Lender".

If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent's or Collateral Agent's notice of resignation or ten (10) days following the Borrower's notice of removal, the retiring Administrative Agent's or the retiring Collateral Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. If the Required Lenders do not so appoint a successor agent as provide for above, any Lender or Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in accordance herewith by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (x) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents or (y) otherwise ensure that Section 6.11 is satisfied, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After the retiring Administrative Agent's or Collateral Agent's resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article X and Sections 11.04 and 11.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

Section 10.10 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 Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be (to the fullest extent permitted by mandatory provisions of applicable Law) entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Blackstone Representative, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Blackstone Representative, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Blackstone Representative, the Lenders, the

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. Section 10.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each Lender (including in its capacity as a counterparty to a Permitted Hedge Agreement) and each other Secured Party by its acceptance of the Collateral Documents irrevocably agrees: (a) that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable), (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is Disposed or to be Disposed as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than a Person required to grant a Lien to the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents (or, if such transferee is a Person required to grant a Lien to the Collateral Agent on such asset, at the option of the applicable Loan Party, such Lien on such asset may still be released in connection with the transfer so long as (x) the transferee grants a new Lien to the Collateral Agent on such asset substantially concurrently with the transfer of such asset, (y) the transfer is between parties organized under the laws of different jurisdictions and at least one of such parties is a Foreign Subsidiary and (z) the priority of the new Lien is the same as that of the original Lien and the Lien of the Secured Parties on such asset is not impaired or otherwise adversely affected by such release and granting of such new Lien as reasonably determined by the Blackstone Representative), (iii) subject to Section 11.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (b) below, (v) to the extent (and only for so long as) such property constitutes an "Excluded Asset" or (vi) if the release of such Lien on such property is permitted under the terms of each applicable Collateral Document; and

------

![](altusfundiii-termloancre153.jpg)

148 (b) that any Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guaranty if (i) such Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of the Borrower or (ii) subject to Section 11.01, if such release is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent's authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release a Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.11. In each case as specified in this Section 10.11, the Collateral Agent will promptly upon the request of the Borrower (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to), at the Borrower's expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to evidence the release of a Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.11 (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry). Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, no release of Collateral or a Guarantor effected in the manner permitted by this Section 10.11 shall require the consent of any holder of obligations under any Permitted Hedge Agreement. Section 10.12 [Reserved]. Section 10.13 Appointment of Supplemental Agents. (a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Blackstone Representative, Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Blackstone Representative, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Blackstone Representative, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a "Supplemental Agent" and collectively as "Supplemental Agents"). (b) In the event that the Collateral Agent appoints a Supplemental Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan

------

![](altusfundiii-termloancre154.jpg)

149 Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Collateral Agent or such Supplemental Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article X and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Agent and all references therein to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Collateral Agent and/or such Supplemental Agent, as the context may require. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of a Supplemental Agent appointed with due care or at the direction of the Required Lenders. (c) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Agent so appointed by the Blackstone Representative, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, such Loan Party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Blackstone Representative, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. In case any Supplemental Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Agent. Section 10.14 Withholding Tax Indemnity. To the extent required by any applicable law, the applicable Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that such Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify such Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, indemnify and hold harmless the applicable Agent (to the extent that such Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.01 and Section 3.02 and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Agent as Taxes or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by an Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes each Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due an Agent under this Section 10.14. The agreements in this Section 10.14 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of an Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. Section 10.15 ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). Section 10.16 Document Custodian The Document Custodian is hereby appointed as the custodian for each instrument of the type described in Section 9.05(a) hereof other than letters of credit (all such instruments, the "Custody Documents"), in each case except to the extent that the Collateral Agent directs that such items be provided to it. The Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, all Custody Documents to the Document Custodian in physical form at the address

------

![](altusfundiii-termloancre156.jpg)

151 specified on Schedule 11.02(a) hereof. The Document Custodian shall hold all Custody Documents received by it in physical form (or, if applicable, electronic form) at one of its offices in the United States (for purposes hereof, the "Custodial Office"). The Document Custodian may change the Custodial Office at any time and from time to time upon notice to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Agent, the Blackstone Representative and the Administrative Agent, provided that the replacement Custodial Office shall be an office of the Document Custodian located in the United States. All Custody Documents held by the Document Custodian shall be available for inspection by the Blackstone Representative, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders upon prior written request and during normal business hours of the Document Custodian. Any such inspection shall occur no earlier than five Business Days after such inspection is requested in writing and the costs of such inspection shall be borne by the requesting party. The Blackstone Representative (including its representatives and designees) may not request more than two inspections per year or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing no more than once a month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Document Custodian shall not be required to hold or accept custody of any other document hereunder to the extent such document is of a type not approved for deposit into the custodial vault of the Document Custodian. For the avoidance of doubt, the Document Custodian shall not be required to review or provide any certifications in respect of Custody Documents delivered and held by it. For the avoidance of doubt, other than in respect of Custody Documents, the Document Custodian shall not be required to hold custody of underlying agreements, related contracts or documents related to the Collateral.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Document Custodian agrees to cooperate with the Blackstone Representative and the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Blackstone Representative) in order to take any action that the Blackstone Representative deems necessary or desirable in order for the Collateral Agent to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted under the Loan Documents, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder. If the Document Custodian receives instructions from the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Manager or the Borrower that conflict with any instructions received by the Blackstone Representative after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Document Custodian shall rely on and follow the instructions given by the Blackstone Representative. The Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) may cause the release of Custody Documents, in each case (1) to the extent such documents are no longer required to be held hereunder and (2) subject to the written approval by the Blackstone Representative, by delivery of a request for release substantially in the form of Exhibit N hereto from the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) and such request for release shall be deemed a certification that such conditions for release have been satisfied. Upon receipt of such direction and approval by the Blackstone Representative, the Document Custodian shall release the Custody Documents to, or at the direction of, the Collateral Manager, and neither the Borrower nor the Collateral Manager will be required to return the related Custody Documents to the Document Custodian. Written instructions as to the method of shipment and shipper(s) the Document Custodian is directed to utilize in connection with the transmission of Custody Documents in the performance of the Document Custodian's duties herein shall be delivered by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, to the Document Custodian prior to any shipment of any Custody Documents hereunder. If the Document Custodian does not receive any such written instruction from the Borrower or Collateral Manager, as applicable, the Document

152 Custodian shall be authorized and indemnified as provided herein to utilize a nationally recognized courier service. The Borrower or the Collateral Manager shall arrange for the provision of such services at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower and shall maintain such insurance against loss or damage to the Custody Documents as the Borrower or Collateral Manager, as applicable, deem appropriate. In accepting such appointment and performing its duties hereunder, the Document Custodian shall be entitled to all of the rights, remedies, immunities and indemnities provided to the Collateral Agent hereunder, mutatis mutandis. Without limiting the foregoing, the Document Custodian shall be entitled to resign, and may be removed, in the same manner as the Collateral Agent; provided that the Collateral Agent and the Document Custodian shall at all times be the same institution (or an Affiliate thereof).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.01, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended solely with the consent of the Blackstone Representative, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent (if applicable) and the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment is delivered in order (A) to correct or cure ambiguities, errors, omissions or defects, (B) to effect administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature, (C) to fix incorrect cross references or similar inaccuracies in this Agreement or the applicable Loan Document, (D) add any financial covenant or other terms for the benefit of all Lenders or any Class of Lenders pursuant to the conditions imposed on the incurrence of any Indebtedness set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, or (E) to implement amendments permitted by this Agreement or the other Collateral Documents that do not by the terms of other Collateral Documents require lender consent, and, in each case of clauses (A), (B) and (C), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or the consent of any other party to any 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.

The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non- appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

160 Any assignment or participation of a Loan or Commitment by a Lender without the Borrower's consent (A) to a Disqualified Lender or (B) to the extent the Borrower's consent is required under this Section 11.07, to any other Person, shall be null and void, and, in the event of any assignment or participation of any Loan or Commitment by a Lender in breach of the foregoing, the Borrower shall be entitled to seek specific performance to unwind any such assignment or participation in addition to any other remedies available to the Borrower at law or in equity. In addition, the Borrower may (i) terminate any Commitment of such Person and prepay any applicable outstanding Loans at a price equal to the lesser of par and the amount such Person paid to acquire such Loans, without premium, penalty, prepayment fee or breakage, and/or (ii) require such person to assign its rights and obligations to one or more Eligible Assignees at the price indicated above (which assignment shall not be subject to any processing and recordation fee) and if such Person does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such assignment within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to such Person, then such Person shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on its part, (b) no such person shall receive any information or reporting provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, (c) for purposes of voting, any Loans or Commitments held by such Person shall be deemed not to be outstanding, and such Person shall have no voting or consent rights with respect to "Required Lender" or class votes or consents, (d) for purposes of any matter requiring the vote or consent of each Lender affected by any amendment or waiver, such Person shall be deemed to have voted or consented to approve such amendment or waiver if a majority of the affected class (giving effect to clause (c) above) so approves and (e) such Person shall not be entitled to any expense reimbursement or indemnification rights and shall be treated in all other respects as a Defaulting Lender; it being understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions shall only apply to the Person specified in clauses (A) or (B) of the first sentence of this paragraph and not to any assignee of such Person that becomes a Lender so long as such assignee becomes an assignee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.07. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will suffer irreparable harm if such Lender breaches any obligation under this Section 11.07. Additionally, each Lender agrees that the Borrower may seek to obtain specific performance or other equitable or injunctive relief to enforce this paragraph against such Lender with respect to such breach without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (a) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant is a Disqualified Lender or (b) have any liability with respect to any assignment or participation of loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in the foregoing shall prejudice any right or remedy that the Borrower may have at law or in equity against any Lender who enters into an assignment, participation or other transaction (including the disclosure of confidential information) with a Disqualified Lender in contravention of the terms of this Agreement.

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. (c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 11.07(d) and (e), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, (1) other than in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 11.07(m), the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and (2) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.02, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.07(f). (d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption, each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, and each notice of cancellation

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and, with respect to such Lender's own interest only, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 11.07(d) and Section 2.09 shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in "registered form" within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury Regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury Regulations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the aggregate amount of Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders. Upon request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall (i) promptly (and in any case, not less than five (5) Business Days (or shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior to the proposed effective date of any amendment, consent or waiver pursuant to Section 11.01) provide to the Administrative Agent, a complete list of all Affiliated Lenders holding Term Loans at such time and (ii) not less than five (5) Business Days (or shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior to the proposed effective date of any amendment, consent or waiver pursuant to Section 11.01, provide to the Administrative Agent, a complete list of all Debt Fund Affiliates holding Term Loans at such time. (e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent, if required, and, if required, the Borrower to such assignment and any applicable tax forms required pursuant to Section 3.01(e), the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e). (f) Any Lender may at any time sell participations to any Person, subject to the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 11.07(a) (each, a "Participant"), in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) no Loan may be participated other than in a participation of an equal proportion of each Class of Loans held by the selling Lender (before giving effect to such participation) and (v) no Commitments may be participated other than in a participation of an equal proportion of each Class of Commitments held by the selling Lender (before giving effect to such participation). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other

Subject to Section 11.07(g), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 and 3.02 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections, including the requirements under Section 3.01(e)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.07(c). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender and Section 3.04 as though it were an Assignee. Each Participant will provide any applicable tax forms required pursuant to Section 3.01(e) solely to the participating Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any Commitments or Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that (x) such disclosure is necessary in connection with an audit or other proceeding to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or (y) upon request of the Borrower, to confirm no Participant of Term Loans is a Disqualified Lender. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. (g) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.02 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. (h) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Blackstone Representative or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(k) [Reserved]. (l) Any Lender may at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender through open market purchases, solely on a pro rata basis, and in each case subject to the following limitations: (i) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender's Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 hereto (an "Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption"); (ii) Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Blackstone Representative, the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders, the Blackstone Representative and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II, and shall not be permitted to challenge the Blackstone Representative's, the Administrative Agent's or any Lender's attorney-client privilege; (iii) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed thirty percent (30.0%) of the principal amount of all Term Loans at such time outstanding (measured at the time of purchase) (such percentage, the "Affiliated Lender Cap"); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio; and (iv) as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this clause (l), the Administrative Agent shall have been provided an Affiliated Lender Notice in the form of Exhibit I-2 to this Agreement in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that upon effectiveness of such assignment would constitute an Affiliated Lender pursuant to which such Affiliated Lender shall waive any right to bring any action in connection with such Term Loans against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such.

![](altusfundiii-termloancre171.jpg)

166 Each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender. Such notice shall contain the type of information required and be delivered to the same addressee as set forth in Exhibit I-2. (m) Any Lender (for such purposes, the "Relevant Lender") may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries through (notwithstanding Sections 2.10 and 2.11 or any other provision in this Agreement) open market purchase on a pro rata or non-pro rata basis; provided that: (i) the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to the Borrower or a Subsidiary shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer; (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of the remaining Lenders shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Term Loans then held by the Borrower or a Subsidiary; (iii) the Borrower shall have first offered to all Lenders on a ratable basis the right to sell Term Loans to the Borrower or such Subsidiaries on the same terms offered to such Relevant Lender; (iv) the Borrower or such Subsidiary funds the purchase of such Term Loans solely through amounts on deposit in the Equity Account; and (v) the Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register. (n) Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.01 or the definition of "Required Lenders" to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom unless the action in question affects any Affiliated Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) in a disproportionately adverse manner than its effect on the other Lenders, or subject to Section 11.07(o), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (iii) directed or required the Blackstone Representative, the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, no Affiliated Lender shall have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Blackstone Representative, the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action and:

------

![](altusfundiii-termloancre172.jpg)

167 (A) all Term Loans held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders have taken any actions; and (B) all Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether all Lenders have taken any action unless the action in question affects such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner than its effect on other Lenders. (o) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption shall provide a confirmation that, if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Required Lenders to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Required Lenders' sole discretion, unless the Required Lenders instruct such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Term Loans held by it as the Required Lenders direct; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Required Lenders) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders. (p) Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.01 or the definition of "Required Lenders" to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (iii) directed or required the Blackstone Representative, the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, to the extent there is any Lender that is not a Blackstone Asset Based Finance Entity, all Term Loans held by Debt Fund Affiliates may not account for more than 49.9% (pro rata among such Debt Fund Affiliates) of the Term Loans of consenting Lenders included in determining whether the Required Lenders have consented to any action pursuant to Section 11.01. Section 11.08 Confidentiality. (a) Each Lender and the Agents agrees that it shall maintain confidentiality with regard to nonpublic information obtained from or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that the Lenders and the Agents shall not be precluded from making disclosure regarding such information: (1) to the Administrative Agent and to the Blackstone Representative; (2) to the Administrative Agent's, the Blackstone Representative's, the Lenders' and the Agents' counsel, accountants, auditors, valuation providers, investors, financing sources, consultants and other professional advisors; (3) to officers, directors, employees, examiners, agents and partners of the Administrative Agent, the Blackstone Representative, any current or prospective Lender or Assignee and its Affiliates (including any

![](altusfundiii-termloancre173.jpg)

168 Blackstone Asset Based Finance Entity and Blackstone Asset Based Finance Investor, to the extent such Blackstone Asset Based Finance Entity (or the related Blackstone Asset Based Finance Entity, in the case of a Blackstone Asset Based Finance Investor) is contemplating becoming a Lender hereunder), each Lender and their Affiliates and the Agents and their Affiliates who need to know such information in accordance with customary practices for Lenders of such type; (4) in response to a subpoena or order of a court or governmental agency or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent, the Blackstone Representative, such Lender, Agent or any Affiliate thereof (provided that the Administrative Agent, the Blackstone Representative or the applicable Lender or Agent shall use reasonable efforts to provide reasonable prior notice to the Borrower before making such disclosure, other than in respect of any routine examination by such agency or authority); (5) to any entity guaranteeing or participating, or considering guaranteeing or participating in, any credit made under this Agreement if such entity would be expected to be eligible to be a Participant or Assignee hereunder (provided that the Lenders and Agents shall require that any such entity be subject to this Section 11.08; however, the Lenders and Agents shall have no duty to monitor any participating entity and shall have no liability in the event that any participating entity violates this Section 11.08); (6) as required by law or legal process or regulation applicable to the Administrative Agent, to the Blackstone Representative, to such Lender, to such Agent or to any Affiliate thereof; (7) as reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy, or performance of any duty, hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the extent the Person that receives such information agrees in writing to be subject to this Section 11.08; (8) to any Rating Agency then rating any Loans (provided that any such Rating Agency to which disclosure is to be made shall have been identified to the Borrower); (9) as among the Administrative Agent, the Blackstone Representative, the Lenders and the Agents, to each other; (10) to any current or prospective funding source of any Blackstone Asset Based Finance Entity or Blackstone Asset Based Finance Investor, including any current and prospective investors or funding sources of a fund administered, managed, advised or sub-advised by Blackstone Asset Based Finance; or (11) to the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lenders' investment portfolio. In connection with enforcing its rights pursuant to this Section 11.08, the Borrower shall be entitled to the equitable remedies of specific performance and injunctive relief against the Administrative Agent, the Blackstone Representative, the Agents or any Lender which shall breach the confidentiality provisions of this Section 11.08. (b) Notwithstanding any contrary agreement or understanding, the Collateral Manager, the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders (and each of their respective employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. The foregoing provision shall apply from the beginning of discussions between the parties. For this purpose, the tax treatment of a transaction is the purported or claimed U.S. tax treatment of the transaction under applicable U.S. Federal, state or local law, and the tax structure of a transaction is any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. tax treatment of the transaction under applicable U.S. Federal, state or local law. Section 11.09 Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates (and the Collateral Agent, in respect of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses payable

------

![](altusfundiii-termloancre174.jpg)

169 hereunder) is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or the Collateral Agent to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Collateral Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Blackstone Representative, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower, the Blackstone Representative, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Blackstone Representative, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender under this Section 11.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Blackstone Representative, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and such Lender may have. Section 11.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the "Maximum Rate"). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. Section 11.11 Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents and the Blackstone Representative may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission be confirmed by an original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not

------

![](altusfundiii-termloancre175.jpg)

170 limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission. Section 11.12 Integration; Termination. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents, the Blackstone Representative or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties party thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. Section 11.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent, the Blackstone Representative and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, the Blackstone Representative or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. Section 11.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provision in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Blackstone Representative then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited. Section 11.15 GOVERNING LAW. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. (b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE SITTING

EACH LOAN PARTY, EACH AGENT, THE BLACKSTONE REPRESENTATIVE AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES (OTHER THAN TELECOPIER OR OTHER ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION) IN SECTION 11.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE BLACKSTONE REPRESENTATIVE, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE ANY AWARD OR JUDGMENT OR EXERCISE ANY RIGHT UNDER THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER PROPERTY OF ANY LOAN PARTY IN ANY OTHER FORUM IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH COLLATERAL IS LOCATED. Section 11.16 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 11.16 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. Section 11.17 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Loan Parties, the Blackstone Representative, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that each Lender has executed it and thereafter this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Loan Parties, each Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, in each case in accordance with Section 11.07 (if applicable) and except that no Loan

172 Party shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders except as permitted by Section 7.04. Section 11.18 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the Blackstone Representative, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of such Loan Party and other information regarding such Loan Party that will allow such Lender, the Blackstone Representative, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and is effective as to the Lenders, the Blackstone Representative, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. Section 11.19 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. (a) In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates' understanding, that (i) the facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm's-length commercial transaction between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Blackstone Representative and the Lenders, on the other hand, and the Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof), (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Agents, the Blackstone Representative and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person, (iii) none of the Agents, the Blackstone Representative or the Lenders or their respective Affiliates has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether any Agent, the Blackstone Representative or Lender has advised or is currently advising the Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Agents (or their respective Affiliates), the Blackstone Representative or the Lenders has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the financing transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, (iv) the Agents, the Blackstone Representative and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, and may conflict with, those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Agents, the Blackstone Representative or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship and (v) the Agents, the Blackstone Representative and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate. Each Loan Party hereby

------

![](altusfundiii-termloancre178.jpg)

173 waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Agents, the Blackstone Representative and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty under applicable law relating to agency and fiduciary obligations. (b) Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that each Lender and any Affiliate thereof may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any of the Borrower, any Investor, any Affiliate thereof or any other person or entity that may do business with or own securities of any of the foregoing, all as if such Lender or Affiliate thereof were not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof (or an agent or any other person with any similar role under the Facilities) and without any duty to account therefor to any other Lender, the Borrower, any Investor or any Affiliate of the foregoing. Each Lender and any Affiliate thereof may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower, any Investor or any Affiliate thereof for services in connection with this Agreement, the Facilities or otherwise without having to account for the same to any other Lender, the Borrower, any Investor or any Affiliate of the foregoing. Some or all of the Lenders may have directly or indirectly acquired certain equity interests (including warrants) in the Borrower, an Investor or an Affiliate thereof or may have directly or indirectly extended credit on a subordinated basis to the Borrower, an Investor or an Affiliate thereof. Each party hereto, on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, acknowledges and waives the potential conflict of interest resulting from any such Lender or an Affiliate thereof holding disproportionate interests in the extensions of credit under the Facilities or otherwise acting as agent thereunder and such Lender or an Affiliate thereof directly or indirectly holding equity interests in or subordinated debt issued by the Borrower, an Investor or an Affiliate thereof. Section 11.20 Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based record keeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Section 11.21 Effect of Certain Inaccuracies. In the event that any financial statement or Compliance Certificate previously delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a) was inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Interest Rate for any period (an "Applicable Period") than the Interest Rate applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) the Borrower shall as soon as practicable deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected financial statement and a corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Interest Rate shall be determined based on the corrected Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, and (iii) the Borrower shall within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the corrected financial statements and Compliance Certificate pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest or fees owing as a result of such increased Interest Rate for such Applicable Period. This Section 11.21 shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to Sections 2.06(b) and 8.01.

![](altusfundiii-termloancre179.jpg)

174 Section 11.22 Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the "specified currency") into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures any Lender could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at such Lender's New York office on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency; if the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender in the specified currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Lender against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such Lender in the specified currency, such Lender agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower. Section 11.23 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 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 party hereto to any Lender 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 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.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Altus Power, Inc. Announces Closing of 220 MW Portfolio**

**With Funding by Blackstone** 

**STAMFORD, CT, February 16, 2023** – Altus Power, Inc. ("Altus Power" or the "Company") (NYSE: AMPS), the premier independent developer, owner and operator of commercial-scale solar facilities, today announced that it closed on the acquisition of approximately 220 megawatts (MW) of solar assets, including 207 MW of operating assets and 13 MW of assets under construction. These assets were purchased from True Green Capital Fund III, L.P. under definitive agreements that were previously announced on December 27<sup>th</sup>, 2022.

The base purchase price of approximately $293 million was financed partially with debt secured from a $204 million long-term funding facility led by Blackstone Structured Finance at a fixed interest rate of 5.62% and the remainder from cash on hand. The interest rate on the debt is fixed for the term of the facility, and Altus Power additionally has the option to refinance the debt without penalty after 3 years.

"We're pleased to further expand our relationship with Blackstone as the lender for this new portfolio of assets," commented Gregg Felton, Co-CEO of Altus Power. "Blackstone has a depth of financing experience across a diversity of asset classes and shares our enthusiasm for commercial-scale solar."

"This portfolio of long-term contracted assets provides a tremendous opportunity for Blackstone to create high quality long-duration investments with attractive risk-adjusted returns for our growing insurance franchise," said Robert Camacho, Co-Head of Asset Based Finance within Blackstone's Structured Finance Group.

**Growing Community Solar Customer Base**

With the addition of these new assets, Altus Power's portfolio with community solar customers account for over 20% of the Company's installed megawatts with an additional approximately seventy megawatts in advanced stages of development in New Jersey, Maryland, New York, and Hawaii which will also be dedicated to community solar programs. Community solar allows a rapidly growing universe of residential customers to enjoy the benefits of solar generation without installing any equipment on their properties. While Altus Power expects most of its assets will continue to serve commercial, industrial and municipal customers, the growing popularity of community solar programs is expanding the customer base for commercial-scale solar arrays.

**Increased Presence in New York State** 

Altus Power is pleased that New York has joined Massachusetts, New Jersey and California as one of the Company's largest markets, with each now representing more than 100 megawatts of operating solar. Assets are located across New York and includes the Zerega project located on the rooftop of a self-storage facility in Bronx County, NY, which the Company recently <u>highlighted</u> as a beneficiary of the Community Solar Employee Participation program offered to employees of both CBRE and Blackstone.

**About Altus Power, Inc.**

Altus Power, based in Stamford, Connecticut, is the premier commercial-scale clean electrification company serving commercial, industrial, public sector and community solar customers with an end-to-end solution. Altus Power originates, develops, owns and operates locally sited solar generation, energy storage and charging infrastructure across the nation. Visit <u>www.altuspower.com</u> to learn more.
