(3)    the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;
(4)    the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Parties as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for Dollar denominated secured financings or securitizations relating to the relevant asset class, as applicable at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.
provided that, in the case of clause (1) of this definition, such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. 
If at any time the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2), (3) or (4) of this definition would be less than zero (0), the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be zero (0) for the purposes of this Credit Agreement.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent as of the Benchmark Replacement Date: 
(1)    the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, that has been selected, endorsed or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement; 
(2)    the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Parties giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar denominated secured financing or securitization transactions relating to the relevant asset class, as applicable at such time.
“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including but not limited to changes to the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Credit Agreement).
“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(1)    in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);
(2)    in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein; or
(3)    in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the other parties hereto.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

A certificate of such Lender setting forth the amount of any such cost, loss or expense, and the basis for the determination thereof and the calculation thereof, shall be delivered to the Borrower Parties and shall, in the absence of a manifest error, be conclusive and binding.

The failure of any Lender to advance its Pro Rata Share of any Loan required to be advanced hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to advance its Loans required to be advanced hereunder.  Absent contrary written notice from a Lender, Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made its Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent on the applicable borrowing date, and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but is not required to), make available to the appropriate Borrower Party a corresponding amount.
(b)    Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 13.06(c) are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 13.06(c) 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, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 13.06(c).
Section 2.05    Interest.

Section 2.06    Determination of Rate.  The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the LIBOR Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall, upon request, give notice to the Borrower Parties and to the Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.

Each request for a Letter of Credit (a “Request for Letter of Credit”) shall be submitted to the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith), together with a Letter of Credit Application and a Borrowing Base Certificate, for the Letter of Credit Issuer, on or before 2:00 p.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or four (4) Business Days (or such additional time as may reasonably be required by the Letter of Credit Issuer) with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by any branch of the Letter of Credit Issuer located outside of the United States).  The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of such Request for Letter of Credit and the terms of the requested Letter of Credit.  Each Request for Letter of Credit submitted by the Borrower Parties shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that all conditions precedent specified in Section 7.02 hereof for the issuance of such Letter of Credit will be satisfied as of the date of such issuance.
(c)    Participation by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall and does hereby participate ratably with the Letter of Credit Issuer in each Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder to the extent of its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Liability with respect to each such Letter of Credit, and shall share in all rights and obligations resulting therefrom, including:  (i) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any reimbursement of the amount of each draft drawn under each Letter of Credit, including any interest payable with respect thereto; (ii) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit fee pursuant to Section 2.14; (iii) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its additional costs pursuant to Section 4.01; and (iv) the obligation to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, in immediately available funds, its Pro Rata Share of any unreimbursed drawing under a Letter of Credit.

(d)    Payment of Letter of Credit.  In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower Parties agree to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Loan as provided for in this Section or with funds from other sources), in same day funds, the Letter of Credit Issuer on each date on which the Letter of Credit Issuer notifies the Borrower Parties of the date and amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit for the amount of such draft so paid and any amounts representing interest, costs, expenses or fees incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with such payment.  Unless the Borrower Parties shall immediately notify the Letter of Credit Issuer that the Borrower Parties intend to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for such drawing from other sources or funds, the Borrower Parties shall be deemed to have timely given a Loan Notice to the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower Parties hereby authorize, empower, and direct the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Letter of Credit Issuer, to disburse directly, as a Borrowing hereunder, to the Letter of Credit Issuer, with notice to the Borrower Parties, in immediately available funds an amount equal to the stated amount of each draft drawn under each Letter of Credit plus all interest, costs and expenses, and fees due to the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Credit Agreement.  Subject to receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount disbursed by the Administrative Agent on the Business Day on which the Letter of Credit Issuer honors any such draft or incurs or is owed any such interest, costs, expenses or fees. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Parties of any such disbursements made by the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of the disbursement, and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof.  Any such disbursement made by the Lenders to the Letter of Credit Issuer on account of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed a LIBOR Rate Loan with a one month Interest Period; and such disbursements shall be made without regard to the timing of a Loan Notice or the minimum and multiple amounts specified in Section 2.03.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may conclusively rely on the Letter of Credit Issuer as to the amount due the Letter of Credit Issuer by reason of any draft of a Letter of Credit or due the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit Application.  The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, and, as applicable, the obligations of the Borrower Parties with respect to Borrowings, each under this Section 2.07(d) shall be irrevocable, shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall, irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions to the making of any Loans described in Sections 2.02, 7.01, 7.02, 7.03 and/or 7.04, as applicable, be honored in accordance with this Section 2.07(d) under all circumstances, including any of the following circumstances:  (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrower Parties in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the terms of the Letter of Credit; (iii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower Parties may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the account party and beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit); (iv) any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a draw under a Letter of Credit; (v) any payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (vi) any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, 

assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; (vii) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (viii) the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default or (ix) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower Party; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Letter of Credit Issuer from liability to any Borrower Party to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive, consequential or exemplary damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower Parties to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by any Borrower Party that are caused by the Letter of Credit Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.
(e)    Borrower Inspection.  The Borrower Parties shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to them and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower Parties’ instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower Parties will immediately notify the Letter of Credit Issuer of the same in writing.  The Borrower Parties shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f)    Role of Letter of Credit Issuer.  Each Lender and the Borrower Parties agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for:  (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit.  The Borrower Parties hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower Parties’ pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 2.07(d).  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g)    Acceleration of Undrawn Amounts.  Should the Administrative Agent demand payment of the Obligations hereunder prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 11.02, the Administrative Agent, by written notice to the Borrower Parties, may take one or both of the following actions:  (i) declare the obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder terminated, whereupon such obligations shall forthwith terminate without any other notice of any kind; or (ii) declare the Letter of Credit Liability to be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived, and demand that the Borrower Parties pay to the Administrative Agent for deposit in a segregated interest bearing Cash Collateral Account, as security for the Obligations, an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn stated amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding at the time such notice is given.  Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, upon the full and final payment of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrower Parties any amounts remaining in said Cash Collateral Account.
(h)    Cash Collateral.  If (A) as of the earlier of:  (i) thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date and (ii) the Maturity Date, any Letters of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, or (B) any other circumstances under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents occurs requiring the Borrower Parties to Cash Collateralize any Letters of Credit, then, in each case, the Borrower Parties shall promptly Cash Collateralize in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount or, in the case of sub-clause (B) above, such amount expressly required by the terms of this Credit Agreement or other Loan Document, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be held by the Administrative Agent as Cash Collateral subject to the terms of this clause (h) and any security agreement, control agreement and other documentation requested by the Administrative Agent to be executed in connection with opening a Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of holding such Cash Collateral.  All Cash Collateral to be provided by the Borrower Parties pursuant to this Section 2.07(h) shall be in Dollars. All Cash Collateral with respect to Letters of Credit shall be funded by the proceeds of Capital Calls and not from any other source. Cash Collateral held in a Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the reimbursement of the Letter of Credit Issuer for any payment made by it of drafts drawn under the outstanding Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof, after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other Obligations.  After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Letter of Credit Liability shall have been satisfied and all other Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, of Cash Collateral held in a Cash Collateral Account pursuant to this clause (h) shall be returned to the Borrower Parties.  The Borrower Parties hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral and in each Cash Collateral Account as security in respect of the Letter of Credit Liability.
(i)    Lenders’ Continuing Obligations.  In the event any Letter of Credit Liability is Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.07(h) or otherwise pursuant to this Credit Agreement (including the Cash Collateralizing of a Letter of Credit outstanding beyond the Maturity Date), each Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall continue in all respects, the Lenders will continue to be entitled to receive their Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit fee payable in accordance with Section 2.12, and the Lenders shall continue to be obligated to fund their Pro Rata Share of any drawing under such Letter of Credit in the event the Cash Collateral is for any reason unavailable or insufficient to fully fund such drawing (including as a result of any preference claim or other clawback under any proceeding pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws).

(j)    Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, this Section 2.07 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4.08 and Section 13.12.
Section 2.08    [Reserved].  
Section 2.09    Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be used solely for purposes permitted under the Constituent Documents of each Borrower Party.  Neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to any Borrower Party’s use of the proceeds of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, and neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to determine whether or not any Borrower Party’s use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit are for purposes permitted under the Constituent Documents of any Borrower Party.  Nothing, including any Borrowing, any issuance of any Letter of Credit, or other document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent as to whether any investment by the Borrower Parties is permitted by the terms of the Constituent Documents of any Borrower Party. No Borrower Party shall to its actual knowledge use the proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit hereunder to purchase any assets or securities from any Lender’s “affiliate” as such term is defined in 12 C.F.R. Part 223. In connection with each Loan Notice and Request for Letter of Credit hereunder, the Borrower Parties shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Loan or Letter of Credit that the proceeds of such Loan or Letter of Credit will not be used to, directly or, to the knowledge of such Borrower Party, indirectly, either (x) purchase any asset or securities from any Lender’s “affiliate” (as such term is used in 12 C.F.R. Part 223) or (y) invest in any fund advised by any Lender or Lender’s “affiliate” (as such term is used in 12 C.F.R. Part 223).
Section 2.10    Unused Commitment Fee.  In addition to the payments provided for in Section 3, the Borrower Parties shall pay or cause to be paid to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, according to its Applicable Percentage, an unused commitment fee in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the Fee Letter.
Section 2.11    Administrative Agent and Arranger Fees.  The Borrower Parties shall pay to Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger fees in consideration of the arrangement of the Commitments and administration of this Credit Agreement, which fees shall be payable in amounts and on the dates agreed to between the Initial Borrower and Administrative Agent in the Fee Letter.

Section 2.12    Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrower Parties shall pay to the Administrative Agent:  (a) for the benefit of the Lenders, in consideration for the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, a non-refundable fee equal to the Applicable Margin (plus 2% per annum if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) on the daily face amount of each Letter of Credit, less the amount of any draws on such Letter of Credit, payable in quarterly installments in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the issuance date and continuing for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Letter of Credit that is outstanding but has been Cash Collateralized); and (b) to the extent a Person other than Morgan Stanley or any of its Affiliates shall at any time become a Lender hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer:  (i) a non-refundable fronting fee equal to 12.5 basis points (0.125%) per annum of the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit, payable in quarterly installments in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter on the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit, commencing on the issuance date and continuing for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Letter of Credit that is outstanding but has been Cash Collateralized); and (ii) all other reasonable, customary and documented out of pocket expenses actually incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer related to the issuance, amendment or transfer of Letters of Credit upon demand by the Letter of Credit Issuer.
Section 2.13    Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans, shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All computations of interest for LIBOR Rate Loans and all other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest shall accrue on each Loan from and including the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 3.03 bear interest for one day. 
Section 2.14    Qualified Borrowers.  In consideration of the Lenders’ agreement to advance funds to a Qualified Borrower that has joined the Credit Facility in accordance with Section 7.03(a), to cause Letters of Credit to be issued for the account of a Qualified Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07 and to accept Fund Borrower Guaranties in support thereof, the Borrower Parties hereby authorize, empower, and direct the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, within the limits of the Available Commitment, to disburse directly to the Lenders, with notice to the Borrower Parties, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the amount due and owing under any Qualified Borrower Note or Fund Borrower Guaranty, together with all interest, costs and expenses and fees due to the Lenders pursuant thereto, as a Borrowing hereunder, in the event the Administrative Agent shall have not received payment of such Obligations when due.  The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower Parties one (1) Business Day prior to making such disbursement pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the disbursement, and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof.  Any such disbursement made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 in the amount so paid, and the Borrower Parties shall be deemed to have given to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.02, a Loan Notice with respect thereto; and such disbursements shall be made without regard to the minimum and multiple amounts specified in Section 2.03.  The Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on the Lenders as to the amount of any such Obligations due to the Lenders, absent manifest error.

Section 2.15    Defaulting Lenders.  (a)  Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that 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 Credit Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 13.01.
(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.02, shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Letter of Credit Issuer; third, to Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 4.08; fourth, as the Borrower Parties may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan or funded participation in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Credit Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Parties, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans and funded participations under this Credit Agreement and (B) Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Credit Agreement, in accordance with Section 4.08; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower Parties as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower Parties against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; and eighth, 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 or participations in Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share; and (y) such Loans or Letters of Credit were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Total Credit Exposures hereunder.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)    Certain Fees.
(A)    A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any unused commitment fee payable under Section 2.10 or Letter of Credit fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower Parties shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).
(B)    With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.10 not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) above, the Borrower Parties shall not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in the Letter of Credit Liability shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower Parties shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower Parties shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Principal Obligations of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v)    Cash Collateral.  If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower Parties shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.08.
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower Parties, the Administrative Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, 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, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower Parties while that 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 that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)    New Letters of Credit.  So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

Section 2.16    Investor Designation Letter.  The Borrowing Base Investors shall be indicated as such in the Investor Designation Letter delivered by Administrative Agent on the Closing Date, which may be updated from time to time by Administrative Agent, and, when so updated, shall supersede and replace the prior Investor Designation Letter.

The Borrower Parties shall have an option to extend the Stated Maturity Date then in effect for an additional two (2) terms of not more than twelve (12) months each, in each case, subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent and all Lenders (each such extension shall be referred to herein as an “Extension”) and subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(c)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date on which notice is given in accordance with the following clause (d) or on the date of such extension;
(d)    the Borrower Parties shall have delivered a Facility Extension Request with respect to the Stated Maturity Date to the Administrative Agent not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date then in effect (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in writing); and
(e)    the Borrower Parties shall have delivered to the Lenders a new or updated Beneficial Ownership Certification, as applicable, in relation to each Borrower Party that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, if so requested by the Administrative Agent prior to the effectiveness of any extension to the Maturity Date.

(b)    Effective Date.  The Administrative Agent shall determine the effective date of any Facility Increase (the “Increase Effective Date”) which (unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent) shall be no less than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Facility Increase Request and shall notify the Borrower Parties and the Lenders of the Increase Effective Date.

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

(vii)    the Borrower Parties shall have delivered to the Lenders a new or updated Beneficial Ownership Certification, as applicable, in relation to each Borrower Party that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, if so requested by the Administrative Agent prior to the Increase Effective Date.
For the avoidance of doubt, any Facility Increase will be on the same terms as contained herein with respect to the Credit Facility.  No Lender will be required to commit, nor shall any Lender have any preemptive right, to provide any portion of any Facility Increase.

(d)    Reallocation Following Facility Increase.  On any Increase Effective Date with respect to any Facility Increase (whether pursuant to a new Lender joining the Credit Facility or an existing Lender increasing its Commitment), the Administrative Agent will reallocate the outstanding Loans and participations in Letters of Credit hereunder (including any Loans made by any new or increasing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.18) such that, after giving effect thereto, the ratio of each Lender’s (including each new or increasing Lender’s) share of outstanding Loans and participations in Letters of Credit to its share of Commitments is the same as that of each other Lender.  For the avoidance of doubt, such reallocation may require the reallocation of Loans from an existing Lender to a new or increasing Lender.  In connection with any such reallocation of the outstanding Loans, the (i) Administrative Agent will give advance notice sufficient to comply with the applicable timing period in Section 2.02 to each Lender which is required to fund any amount or receive any partial repayment in connection therewith and (ii) applicable Lender or Lenders will fund such amounts up to their respective shares of the Loans being reallocated and the Administrative Agent shall remit to any applicable Lenders its applicable portion of such funded amount if necessary to give effect to the reallocation of such Loans. In connection with such repayment made with respect to such reallocation (to the extent such repayment is required), the Borrower Parties shall pay (i) all interest due on the amount repaid to the date of repayment on the immediately following Interest Payment Date and (ii) any amounts due pursuant to Section 4.06 as a result of such reallocation occurring on any date other than an Interest Payment Date.
ARTICLE III

PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS.
Section 3.01    Notes.  (a)  The Borrowings funded by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, the Register in accordance with Section 13.11(d), in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, of the amount of the Borrowings made by Lenders to the applicable Borrower Party and the, principal, 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 such Borrower Party 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 accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control, in the absence of manifest error.
(b)    Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower Party shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type of Loan (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.  Each Borrower Party agrees, from time to time, upon the request of Administrative Agent or any affected Lender, to reissue new Notes, in accordance with the terms and in the form heretofore provided, to any Lender and any Assignee of such Lender in accordance with Section 13.11, in renewal of and substitution for the Note previously issued by such Borrower Party to the affected Lender.

Section 3.02    Payment of Interest.  (a)  Interest.  Interest on each Borrowing and any portion thereof shall commence to accrue in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the date of the disbursal or wire transfer of such Borrowing by Administrative Agent, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.05.  When a Borrowing is disbursed by wire transfer pursuant to instructions received from a Borrower Party, then such Borrowing shall be considered made at the time of the transmission of the wire, in accordance with the Loan Notice, rather than the time of receipt thereof by the receiving bank.  With regard to the repayment of the Loans, interest shall continue to accrue on any amount repaid until such time as the repayment has been received in federal or other Same Day Funds by Administrative Agent.
(b)    Interest Payment Dates.  Accrued and unpaid interest:  (i) on the Obligations shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date; and (ii) on any Obligations of a Borrower Party hereunder on which such Borrower Party is in default shall be due and payable at any time and from time to time following such default upon demand by Administrative Agent.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
(c)    Direct Disbursement.  If, at any time, Administrative Agent shall not have received on the date due, any payment of interest upon the Loans or any fee described herein, Administrative Agent may direct the disbursement of funds from the Collateral Account to Lenders, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the extent available therein for payment of any such amount.
Section 3.03    Payments of Obligation.  (a)  Maturity Date.  The principal amount of the Obligations outstanding on the Maturity Date, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
(b)    Payments Generally.  All payments of principal of and interest on the Obligations under this Credit Agreement by any Borrower Party to or for the account of Lenders, or any one of them, shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff by such Borrower Party.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including, without limitation, Section 3.02(b)), all payments by the Borrower Parties hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Credit Agreement be made in the United States. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. may be deemed by Administrative Agent to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment to be made by any Borrower Party 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.  Each Lender shall be entitled to receive its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of each payment received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of Lenders on the Obligations.  Each payment received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of a Lender shall be promptly distributed by Administrative Agent to such Lender.  If any payment to be made by any Borrower Party 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.

(c)    Clawback.
(i)    Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.04 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.04) and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but is not required to), make available to the applicable Borrower Party a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, then such Lender and the applicable Borrower Party severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower Party to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at:  (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing; and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower Party, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that if funds are not available to such Borrower Party in the Collateral Account to make payment on demand, to the extent that it is necessary for the Fund Borrowers to issue Capital Call Notices to fund such required payment, such payment shall be made within twelve (12) Business Days after Administrative Agent’s demand (and, in any event, the Fund Borrowers shall issue such Capital Call Notices and shall make such payment promptly after the related Capital Contributions are received).  If any Borrower Party and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower Party the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower Party for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing as of the date of such Borrowing.  Any payment by a Borrower Party shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower Party may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(ii)    Payments by Borrower Parties; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower Party prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender hereunder that such Borrower Party will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower Party has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if such Borrower Party has not in fact made such payment, then each applicable Lender severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower Party with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
Section 3.04    Mandatory Prepayment. 
(i)  Excess Loans Outstanding.  If, on any day, (1) the Principal Obligation exceeds the Available Commitment, or (2) the Letter of Credit Liability exceeds the lesser of:  (A) the remainder of: (i) the Available Commitment as of such date; minus (ii) the Principal Obligations as of such date; and (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit on such date (in each case, a “Borrowing Base Deficiency”), then the Borrower Parties shall pay without further demand such excess to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in immediately available funds (except to the extent any such excess is addressed by Section 3.04(ii)), by the Required Payment Time.
(ii)    Excess Letters of Credit Outstanding. If any excess calculated pursuant to Section 3.04(i) is attributable to undrawn Letters of Credit, the Borrower Parties shall promptly Cash Collateralize such excess with the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 2.07(h), as security for such portion of the Obligations; provided that the Borrower Parties shall not be required to Cash Collateralize any Letters of Credit unless the amount of any such excess is not fully reduced by prepaying Loans in accordance with Section 3.04(b)(i).  Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, upon:  (i) a change in circumstances such that the Principal Obligations no longer exceed the Available Commitment when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; or (ii) the full and final payment of the Obligations and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrower Parties any amounts remaining in the Cash Collateral Accounts.
Section 3.05    Voluntary Prepayments.  The Borrower Parties may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty on any Business Day; provided that: (a) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., (i) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans and (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; and (b) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. Any prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.06. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Obligations held by each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share.

Section 3.06    Reduction or Early Termination of Commitments.  So long as no Loan Notice or Request for Letter of Credit is outstanding, the Borrower Parties may terminate the Commitments, or reduce the Maximum Commitment, by giving prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of such termination or reduction two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (which date shall be specified by the Borrower Parties in such notice and shall be a Business Day):  (a) in the case of a complete termination of the Commitments, upon (i) prepayment of all of the outstanding Obligations, including all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.03 and (ii) if any Letter of Credit Liability exists, payment to the Administrative Agent of Cash Collateral (from the proceeds of Capital Calls only) for deposit in the Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Section 2.08(h); or (b) in the case of a reduction of the Maximum Commitment, upon prepayment of the amount by which the Principal Obligations exceed the reduced Available Commitment resulting from such reduction, including payment of all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.03, provided that, the Maximum Commitment may not be reduced such that, the Available Commitment would be less than any Letter of Credit Liability; in each case, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived.  Notwithstanding the foregoing:  (x) any reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall be in an amount equal to or greater than $10,000,000; and (y) in no event shall a reduction by the Borrower Parties reduce the Maximum Commitment to $25,000,000 or less (except for a termination of all the Commitments).  Promptly after receipt of any notice of reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the same.  Any reduction of the aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage.  All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
Section 3.07    Lending Office.  Each Lender may:  (a) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender as its Lending Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any LIBOR Rate Loan; (b) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate as its Lending Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Base Rate Loan; and (c) change its Lending Office from time to time by notice to Administrative Agent and the Borrower Parties.  In such event, such Lender shall continue to hold the Note, if any, evidencing its Loans for the benefit and account of such branch, subsidiary or Affiliate.  Each Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its Commitment in any manner it deems appropriate, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.04, but for the purposes of this Credit Agreement such Lender shall, regardless of such Lender’s actual means of funding, be deemed to have funded its Commitment in accordance with the Interest Option selected from time to time by the Borrower Parties for such Borrowing period.
Section 3.08    Joint and Several Liability.  Each Fund Borrower acknowledges, agrees, represents and warrants the following:
(a)    Inducement.  The Lenders have been induced to make the Loans to, and the Letter of Credit Issuer has been induced to issue Letters of Credit for the account of, Fund Borrowers in part based upon the assurances by each Fund Borrower that each Fund Borrower desires that the Obligations of the Fund Borrowers be honored and enforced as separate obligations of each Fund Borrower, should Administrative Agent and the Lenders desire to do so.

(b)    Combined Liability.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fund Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable to the Lenders for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities of the Fund Borrowers, including, without limitation, the Obligations, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at their option enforce the entire amount of the Loans, the Letters of Credit and the other Obligations against any one or more of the Fund Borrowers.
(c)    Separate Exercise of Remedies.  Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) may exercise remedies against each Fund Borrower and its property separately, whether or not Administrative Agent exercises remedies against the other Fund Borrowers or their property.  Administrative Agent may enforce one or more Fund Borrower’s obligations without enforcing the other Fund Borrowers’ obligations and vice versa.  Any failure or inability of Administrative Agent to enforce one or more Fund Borrower’s obligations shall not in any way limit Administrative Agent’s right to enforce the obligations of the other Fund Borrowers.  If Administrative Agent forecloses or exercises similar remedies under any one or more Collateral Documents, then such foreclosure or similar remedy shall be deemed to reduce the balance of the Obligations only to the extent of the cash proceeds actually realized by the Lenders from such foreclosure or similar remedy or, if applicable, Administrative Agent’s credit bid at such sale, regardless of the effect of such foreclosure or similar remedy on the Obligations secured by such Collateral Documents under the applicable state Law.
ARTICLE IV

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.
Section 4.01    Taxes.  For purposes of this Section 4.01, the term “Lender” includes the Letter of Credit Issuer.
(a)    Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.
(i)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws.  If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent, as determined under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations or other applicable Law) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Administrative Agent or a Borrower Party, then Administrative Agent or such Borrower Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding.

(ii)    If any Borrower Party or Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code or applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then: (A) such Borrower Party or Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received, if any, pursuant to subsection (e) below; (B) such Borrower Party or Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code; and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by such Borrower Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(iii)    If any Borrower Party or Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code or applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then: (A) such Borrower Party or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon applicable Laws, and, if relevant, the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below; (B) such Borrower Party or Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws; and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Borrower Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower Parties.  Without limiting (and without duplication of) the provisions of subsection (a) above, each Borrower Party shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c)    Tax Indemnifications.
(i)    Borrower Parties shall, and do hereby, indemnify each Recipient within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Borrower Party by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii)    Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor:  (A) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower Party has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower Parties to do so); (B) Administrative Agent against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.11(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register; and (C) Administrative Agent against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 4.01(c)(ii).
(d)    Evidence of Payments.  Upon request by a Borrower Party or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by such Borrower Party or by Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 4.01, such Borrower Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Borrower Party, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Borrower Party or Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(e)    Status of Recipients; Tax Documentation.
(i)    Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Parties and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 4.01(e)(ii)(A), 4.01(e)(ii)(B), 4.01(e)(ii)(D) and 4.01(e)(ii)(E)) shall not be required if in a Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Borrower Party is a U.S. Person:
(A)    any Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the applicable Borrower Party and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the applicable Borrower Party and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Recipient under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party: (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty; and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)    executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code; (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower Party (or the Borrower Parties in the aggregate) within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”); and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(4)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender granting a participation), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-3, IRS Form W-9, or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Parties and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Recipient under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;
(D)    if a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient 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 or any applicable intergovernmental agreement, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Borrower Parties and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code or any applicable intergovernmental agreement, as applicable) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Parties or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower Parties and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Credit Agreement; and

(E)    on or before the date the Administrative Agent (or any successor thereto) becomes a party to this Credit Agreement, such Administrative Agent shall provide to the Borrower Parties, two duly-signed, properly completed copies of the documentation prescribed in clause (i) or (ii) below, as applicable (together with all required attachments thereto): (i) if the Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person, executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax, or (ii) if the Administrative Agent is not a U.S. Person, (A) with respect to any payments to be received on its own behalf, executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, and (B) with respect to payments received on account of any Lender, executed copies of a U.S. branch withholding certificate on IRS Form W-8IMY evidencing its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. Person for U.S. federal withholding purposes.
(iii)    Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 4.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower Parties and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower Party or with respect to which any Borrower Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.01, it shall pay to such Borrower Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made by such Borrower Party under this Section 4.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrower Parties, upon the written request of such Recipient, agree to repay the amount paid over to any such Borrower Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to a Borrower Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient 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 subsection (f) shall not be construed to require the Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower Party or any other Person.
(g)    Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

Section 4.02    Illegality.  If any Lender reasonably determines that any applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans or other Obligations, or materially restricts the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower Parties through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Loans or the Obligations or to convert Loans accruing interest calculated by reference to the Base Rate to be Loans calculated by LIBOR or to convert Loans accruing interest calculated by reference to LIBOR to be Loans calculated by reference to the Base Rate (where the Base Rate is also calculated off LIBOR in accordance with the definition thereof), shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Parties that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon the prepayment of any such Loans, the Borrower Parties shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid.  Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
Section 4.03    Inability to Determine Rates.  If the Administrative Agent determines, for any proposed Interest Period, that: (a) deposits in Dollars are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of any LIBOR Rate Loan; (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR; or (c) LIBOR does not adequately or fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, then: (i) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Lenders and the Borrower Parties; and (ii) while such circumstances exist, none of the Lenders shall allocate any Loans made during such period, or reallocate any Loans allocated to any then-existing Interest Period ending during such period, to an Interest Period with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to LIBOR.  If, with respect to any outstanding Interest Period, a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that it is unable to obtain matching deposits in the London interbank market to fund its purchase or maintenance of such Loans or that LIBOR applicable to such Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to the Person of funding or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, then: (A) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower Parties and the Lenders; and (B) upon such notice and thereafter while such circumstances exist, the applicable Lender shall not make any LIBOR Rate Loans during such period or reallocate any Loans allocated to any Interest Period ending during such period, to an Interest Period with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to LIBOR; provided that, (x) if the foregoing notice relates to Loans that are outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans, such Loans shall be converted to Base Rate Loans only on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, and (y) upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Parties may revoke any outstanding Requests for Borrowing.
Section 4.04    Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.
(a)    Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if:
(i)    (A) a Benchmark Transition Event or, as the case may be, an Early Opt-in Election and (B) a Benchmark Replacement Date with respect thereto have occurred prior to the Reference Time in connection with any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then such Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and under any other Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without requiring any amendment to, or requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to, this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or 

(ii)    (A)    a Benchmark Transition Event or, as the case may be, an Early Opt-in Election and the Benchmark Replacement Date with respect thereto has already occurred prior to the Reference Time for any setting of the then-current Benchmark and as a result the then-current Benchmark is being determined in accordance with clauses (2), (3) or (4) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”; and     
(B)    the Administrative Agent subsequently determines, that (w) Term SOFR and a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment with respect thereto is or has become available and the Benchmark Replacement Date with respect thereto has occurred, (x) there is currently a market for Dollar-denominated transactions utilizing Term SOFR as a Benchmark and for determining the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment with respect thereto, (y) Term SOFR is being recommended as the Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities by the Relevant Governmental Body and (z) in any event, Term SOFR, the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment with respect thereto and the application thereof is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent (as determined by the Administrative Agent), then clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” will, without requiring any amendment to, or requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to, this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, replace such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings on and from the beginning of the next Interest Period or, as the case may be, Available Tenor so long as the Administrative Agent notifies all the parties hereto prior to the commencement of such next Interest Period or, as the case may be, Available Tenor.
(b)    Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(c)    Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify all the parties hereto of (i) any occurrence of (A) a Benchmark Transition Event or, as the case may be, an Early Opt-in Election and (B) the Benchmark Replacement Date with respect thereto, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.
(d)    London Interbank Offered Rate Benchmark Transition Event.  On March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration (the “IBA”), the administrator of the London interbank offered rate, and the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of the IBA, announced in public statements (the “Announcements”) that the final publication or representativeness date for (i) 1-week and 2-month London interbank offered rate tenor settings will be December 31, 2021 and (ii) overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month London interbank offered rate tenor settings will be June 30, 2023.  No successor administrator for the IBA was identified in such Announcements.  The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Announcements resulted in the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to the London interbank offered rate pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and that any obligation of the Administrative Agent to notify any parties of such Benchmark Transition Event pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 4.04 shall be deemed satisfied. 

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.04, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Section 4.05    Increased Costs Generally; Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans.
(a)    Change in Law.  If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in Adjusted LIBOR) or the Letter of Credit Issuer;
(ii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (B) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)    impose on any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or London or any other applicable offshored interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Credit Agreement or LIBOR Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to LIBOR (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), in each case, in an amount that the Lender deems material in its reasonable discretion, then, upon written request of such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or other Recipient, the Borrower Parties shall pay to any such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered (provided, that such amounts shall be consistent with amounts that such Lender is generally charging other borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower Parties).

(b)    Capital and Liquidity Requirements.  If any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, the Borrower Parties shall promptly pay to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower Parties, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower Parties shall pay such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower Parties shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Parties of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Section 4.06    Compensation for Losses.  Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower Parties shall promptly pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for, and hold such Lender harmless from, any breakage fees, loss, cost or expense (other than lost profits that would have resulted from interest if such Loan had been funded) incurred by such Lender in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds from third parties as a result of (a) any failure or refusal of the Borrower Parties (for any reasons whatsoever other than a default by the Administrative Agent or any Lender) to accept a LIBOR Rate Loan after the Borrower Parties shall have requested such Loan under the Credit Agreement, (b) any prepayment or other payment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, (c) any other prepayment of a Loan that is otherwise not made in compliance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, or (d) the failure of the Borrower Parties to make a prepayment of a Loan after giving notice under the Credit Agreement, that such prepayment will be made.

Section 4.07    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  (a)  Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.05, or requires a Borrower Party to pay any additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 4.02, then, at the request of the Borrower Parties, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment: (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 4.05, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 4.02, as applicable; and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower Parties hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.05 or if any Borrower Party is required to pay any additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, and in each such case such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 4.07(a), the Borrower Parties may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 13.12.
(c)    Survival.  Each Borrower Party’s obligations under this Section 4 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Credit Agreement or any provision hereof.  Each Lender shall notify the Borrower Parties of any event occurring after the termination of this Credit Agreement entitling such Lender to compensation under this Section 4 as promptly as practicable.
Section 4.08    Cash Collateral.  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, by the Required Payment Time, the Borrower Parties shall Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.15 and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.
(a)    Grant of Security Interest; Other Claims/Deficiency.
(i)    The Borrower Parties, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of the Letter of Credit Liability, to be applied pursuant to subsection (b) below.
(ii)    If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower Parties will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b)    Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 4.08 or Section 2.15 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of the Letter of Credit Liability (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(c)    Termination of Requirement.  Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Fronting Exposure of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.08 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.15, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Letter of Credit Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; and provided, further, that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower Parties, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.
ARTICLE V

SECURITY.
Section 5.01    Liens and Security Interest.  To secure performance by the Borrower Parties of the payment and performance of the Obligations:  
(i)    each Fund Borrower shall grant to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender an exclusive, perfected, first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) and Lien in and to the Collateral Accounts pursuant to an Assignment of Account for the Collateral Accounts; and 
(ii)    each Fund Borrower shall grant to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender, a perfected, first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) and Lien in and on the Capital Calls, Capital Commitments, and Capital Contributions with respect to such Fund Borrower’s, including, without limitation, any rights to make Capital Calls, receive payment of Capital Commitments and enforce the payment thereof pursuant to a Security Agreement and to enforce the payment thereof or any guarantees thereof now existing or hereafter arising (the collateral in clauses (i)-(ii) of this Section 5.01 being, collectively, the “Collateral”).  
For the avoidance of doubt, the proceeds from any liquidation or distribution in connection with a Portfolio Company that are not held in a Collateral Account, are not Collateral.

Section 5.02    Collateral Accounts; Capital Calls.  (a)  Collateral Accounts.  Each Fund Borrower that becomes party to a Security Agreement shall require that all Investors wire-transfer to the applicable Account Bank, for further credit to the applicable Collateral Account, either directly or through the applicable AML Account, all monies or sums paid or to be paid by any Investor to the capital of any Fund Borrower that is party to a Security Agreement as Capital Contributions as and when Capital Contributions are called pursuant to the Capital Call Notices.  In addition, the Fund Borrowers that are party to a Security Agreement shall, upon receipt, deposit in the applicable Collateral Account, either directly or through the applicable AML Account, any payments and monies that the Fund Borrowers receive directly from Investors as Capital Contributions. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement Side Letter, the funds on deposit in Borrower’s AML Account shall, if not returned to an applicable Investor, be transferred directly into Borrower’s Collateral Account.  Each Fund Borrower that is party to a Security Agreement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, at all times, Administrative Agent shall have electronic monitoring access to the Collateral Accounts.
(b)    No Duty.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, it is expressly understood and agreed that neither Administrative Agent, nor any Lender undertakes any duties, responsibilities, or liabilities with respect to Capital Calls, except to maintain the confidentiality thereof in accordance with this Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 13.17).  None of them shall be required to refer to the Constituent Documents of any Fund Borrower or take any other action with respect to any other matter which might arise in connection with such Constituent Documents or the Subscription Agreements, or any Capital Call.  None of them shall have any duty to determine or inquire into any happening or occurrence or any performance or failure of performance of any Fund Borrower or any Investor.  None of them has any duty to inquire into the use, purpose, or reasons for the making of any Capital Call or with respect to the investment or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(c)    Capital Call Notices and Borrowing Base Certificate.  In order that Lenders may monitor the Collateral and the Capital Commitments, no Fund Borrower shall issue any Capital Call Notice or otherwise request, notify, or demand that any Investor make any Capital Contribution, without delivering to Administrative Agent  a representative copy of the Capital Call Notice in accordance with Section 9.01(e) hereof.
(d)    Use of Collateral Accounts.  The Borrower Parties may withdraw funds from the Collateral Accounts only in compliance with Section 10.11. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Control Event, Administrative Agent is authorized to take exclusive control of the Collateral Accounts.  If any Account Bank with respect to any Collateral Account ceases to be an Eligible Institution, each Borrower Party, as applicable, shall have thirty (30) days following notice from Administrative Agent to move its Collateral Account to a replacement Account Bank that is an Eligible Institution.  If an Account Bank terminates a Control Agreement or the AML Administrator terminates an Administration Agreement Side Letter, the applicable Borrower Party shall either deposit all proceeds from such collateral account to an existing Collateral Account and AML Account or open new account(s) that is subject to a new Control Agreement and Administration Agreement Side Letter with a replacement Account Bank and AML Administrator, respectively, within thirty (30) days of such termination (or such later date as Administrative Agent shall reasonably agree to in its sole discretion).

(e)    Action by Administrative Agent.  Each Fund Borrower that is party to a Security Agreement hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Lenders, acting through Administrative Agent, upon the occurrence and during an Event of Default, to charge from time to time its Collateral Account for amounts not paid when due and payable (after the passage of any applicable grace period) to Lenders or any of them hereunder or under the Notes.  Subject to Section 11.02, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is hereby authorized, in the name of the applicable Fund Borrower, at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and while an Event of Default exists, to initiate one or more Capital Call Notices in order to pay the Obligations.
Section 5.03    Agreement to Deliver Additional Collateral Documents.  The Borrower Parties shall deliver such security agreements, financing statements, assignments, notices and other collateral documents (all of which shall be deemed part of the Collateral Documents), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of the Secured Parties may reasonably request from time to time for the purpose of granting to, or maintaining or perfecting in favor of the Secured Parties, first priority security interests in the Collateral, together with other assurances of the enforceability and first priority of the Secured Parties’ Liens and assurances of due recording and documentation of the Collateral Documents or copies thereof, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require to avoid material impairment of the first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) Liens and security interests granted or purported to be granted in accordance with this Section 5.
Section 5.04    Subordination of Claims.  Unless the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent has been obtained, during the continuance of an Event of Default at any time when there are any Obligations outstanding other than any unasserted contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable, no Borrower Party shall make any payments or advances of any kind directly or indirectly, on any debts and liabilities to any other Borrower Party, Investor or the Investment Manager whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether direct, indirect, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and howsoever evidenced or created, and during such time all such debts and liabilities (together with any Liens on assets securing the payment of all or any portion thereof) shall be subordinated to and junior in right and in payment to the Obligations; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower Parties shall be permitted to pay to the Investment Manager any management fees then due and owing under the terms of the applicable Constituent Document from sources other than the Collateral. The Investment Manager acknowledges and agrees that at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the payment of any and all management or other fees due and owing to it from any Borrower Party from sources constituting Collateral shall be subordinated to and inferior in right and payment to the Obligations in all respects.
ARTICLE VI

GUARANTY.

Section 6.01    Guaranty of Payment.  Subject to the limitation set forth below, each Fund Borrower (for the purposes of this Section 6, a “Fund Guarantor”) hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Lender and the Administrative Agent the prompt payment of the Obligations of each Qualified Borrower in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise), including, without limitation, all interest, principal, fees, expenses and other amounts now or hereafter represented by, or arising in connection with each Qualified Borrower Note (the “Fund Guaranteed Obligations”).  The guaranty in this Section 6 (this “Fund Borrower Guaranty”) is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to all of the Fund Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.  Each Fund Guarantor hereby further agrees that if any of the Qualified Borrowers shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Fund Guaranteed Obligations, such Fund Guarantor will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Fund Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

Section 6.02    Obligations Unconditional.  The obligations of each Fund Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense (other than payment or performance) of a surety or any Fund Guarantor.  Each Fund Guarantor agrees that this Fund Borrower Guaranty may be enforced by Administrative Agent or the Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or any Collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Fund Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise and each Fund Guarantor hereby waives the right to require Administrative Agent or the Lenders to make demand on or proceed against any Loan Party or any other Person (including a co-guarantor) or to require Administrative Agent or the Lenders to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right.  Each Fund Guarantor further agrees that no Person or Governmental Authority shall have any right to request any return or reimbursement of funds from Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with monies received under the Loan Documents.  Each Fund Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent Administrative Agent or the Lenders from suing on the Qualified Borrower Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or foreclosing its or their, as applicable, security interest in or Lien on any Collateral securing the Fund Guaranteed Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it or them, as applicable, under this Credit Agreement, the Notes, any other of the Loan Documents, or any other instrument of security, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of any Fund Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.  Neither any Fund Guarantor’s obligations under this Fund Borrower Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release, increase or limitation of the liability of any Qualified Borrower or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Qualified Borrower.  Each Fund Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Fund Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Administrative Agent or any Lender on this Fund Borrower Guaranty or acceptance of this Fund Borrower Guaranty.  The Fund Guaranteed Obligations, and any part of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Fund Borrower Guaranty.  All dealings between any Qualified Borrower, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Fund Borrower Guaranty.  During the continuance of a Cash Control Event, each Fund Guarantor hereby subordinates to the Fund Guaranteed Obligations all debts, liabilities and other obligations, whether direct, indirect, primary, secondary, several, joint and several or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts, liabilities and obligations be evidenced by note, contract, open account, book entry or otherwise, owing to such Fund Guarantor by any other Qualified Borrower.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of any Fund Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal Law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Fund Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable Law (whether federal or state or otherwise and including, without limitation, Debtor Relief Laws).

Section 6.03    Modifications.  Each Fund Guarantor agrees that:  (a) all or any part of the Collateral now or hereafter held for the Fund Guaranteed Obligations may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) none of the Lenders, nor Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security interests, Liens or encumbrances now or hereafter held for the Fund Guaranteed Obligations; (c) the time or place of payment of the Fund Guaranteed Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) any Qualified Borrower and any other party liable for payment under the Loan Documents may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of the Qualified Borrower Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, this Credit Agreement (except for this Section 6) may be modified, amended or waived; (f) any party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment thereof may be granted indulgences or be released; and (g) any deposit balance for the credit of any Qualified Borrower or any other party liable for the payment of the Fund Guaranteed Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Fund Guaranteed Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by any Fund Guarantor, each of which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.
Section 6.04    Waiver of Rights.  Each Fund Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law:  (a) notice of acceptance of this Fund Borrower Guaranty by the Lenders and of all extensions of credit to any Qualified Borrower by the Lenders; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Fund Guaranteed Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Credit Agreement) with respect to the Fund Guaranteed Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the Lenders obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security interest, Lien or encumbrance hereafter securing the Fund Guaranteed Obligations, or the Lenders subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests, Liens or encumbrances, if any; and (e) all other notices to which any Fund Guarantor might otherwise be entitled with respect to the Fund Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 6.05    Reinstatement.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the obligations of each Fund Guarantor under this Section 6 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Fund Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Fund Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Fund Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Law, in accordance with Section 13.06(a).
Section 6.06    Remedies.  Each Fund Guarantor agrees that, as between Fund Guarantors, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Fund Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 11.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 11.02) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Fund Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Fund Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Fund Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by Fund Guarantors.  Each Fund Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that its obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Lenders may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.
Section 6.07    Subrogation.  Each Fund Guarantor agrees that, until the indefeasible payment of the Fund Guaranteed Obligations in full in cash and the termination of the Commitments, it will not exercise, and hereby subordinates, any right of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution, offset, indemnification or other claims against any other Qualified Borrower or any other guarantor of the Fund Guaranteed Obligations, arising by contract or operation of law in connection with any payment made or required to be made by such Fund Guarantor under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, in each case with respect to the Fund Guaranteed Obligations.  After the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Fund Guaranteed Obligations (other than any part of the Fund Guaranteed Obligations that represents contingent contractual indemnities) and the termination of the Commitments, each Fund Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise against any other Qualified Borrower all such rights of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution, indemnification and offset, and all such other claims, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Section 6.08    Joint and Several Liability.  Each Fund Guarantor acknowledges, agrees, represents and warrants the following:
(a)    Inducement.  The Lenders have been induced to make the Loans to Qualified Borrowers in part based upon the assurances by each Fund Guarantor that each Fund Guarantor desires that the obligations under this Fund Borrower Guaranty be honored and enforced as separate obligations of each Fund Guarantor, should Administrative Agent and the Lenders desire to do so.

(b)    Combined Liability.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Fund Guarantors shall be jointly and severally liable to the Lenders for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities of the Qualified Borrowers, including, without limitation, the Fund Guaranteed Obligations, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at their option enforce the entire amount of the Fund Guaranteed Obligations against any one or more Fund Guarantors.
(c)    Separate Exercise of Remedies.  Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) may exercise remedies against each Fund Guarantor and its property separately, whether or not Administrative Agent exercises remedies against the other Fund Guarantors or their properties.  Administrative Agent may enforce one or more Fund Guarantor’s obligations without enforcing any other Fund Guarantor’s obligations and vice versa.  Any failure or inability of Administrative Agent to enforce one or more Fund Guarantor’s obligations shall not in any way limit Administrative Agent’s right to enforce the obligations of the other Fund Guarantors.  If Administrative Agent forecloses or exercises similar remedies under any one or more Collateral Documents, then such foreclosure or similar remedy shall be deemed to reduce the balance of the Fund Guaranteed Obligations only to the extent of the cash proceeds actually realized by the Lenders from such foreclosure or similar remedy or, if applicable, Administrative Agent’s credit bid at such sale, regardless of the effect of such foreclosure or similar remedy on the Fund Guaranteed Obligations secured by such Collateral Documents under the applicable state Law.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein this subsection (c), any reference to the Fund Guarantors’ obligations, or remedies against any Fund Guarantor’s property, is only with respect to the Fund Borrower Guaranty and each Fund Guarantor’s obligations thereunder with respect to the Fund Guaranteed Obligations.

ARTICLE VIII

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce Lenders to make the Loans and cause the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, each Borrower Party, as applicable, represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:
Section 8.01    Organization and Good Standing of Borrower Parties.  Each Fund Borrower is, and each other Borrower Party is, at the time a Credit Extension is made to or guaranteed by such Borrower Party, duly organized or established (as the case may be) and validly existing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or establishment (as the case may be), has the requisite power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, and is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or the property owned or leased requires such qualification except where the failure to be so qualified to do business would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The jurisdiction of organization of each Borrower Party is set forth on Schedule 8.13, or on a revised Schedule 8.13 delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.01(j).
Section 8.02    [Reserved].  
Section 8.03    Authorization and Power.  Each Fund Borrower has, and each other Borrower Party has, at the time a Credit Extension is made to or guaranteed by such Borrower Party, the partnership, limited liability company or corporate power, as applicable, and requisite authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under, and to consummate the transactions contemplated in, this Credit Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents to be executed by it.  Each Fund Borrower is, and each other Borrower Party is, at the time a Credit Extension is made to or guaranteed by such Borrower Party, duly authorized to, and has taken all partnership, limited liability company and corporate action, as applicable, necessary to authorize it to execute, deliver, and perform its respective obligations under, and to consummate the transactions contemplated in, this Credit Agreement, the Notes, and such other Loan Documents.

Section 8.04    No Conflicts or Consents.  None of the execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, the Notes, or the other Loan Documents, the consummation of any of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, or the compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or with the terms and provisions thereof, will contravene or conflict with any provision of Law or regulation to which any Fund Borrower is subject (or to which any other Borrower Party is subject at the time a Credit Extension is made to or guaranteed by such Borrower Party), or any of the Constituent Documents of any Fund Borrower (or of any other Borrower Party at the time a Credit Extension is made to or guaranteed by such Borrower Party), any judgment, license, order, or permit, or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement or instrument applicable to, or by which any Fund Borrower may be bound (or applicable to or by which any other Borrower Party may be bound at the time a Credit Extension is made to or guaranteed by such Borrower Party), nor will such execution, delivery, consummation or compliance result in the creation or imposition of a material Lien on any of the properties or assets of any Fund Borrower, other than the Liens provided for in Section 5.01, in each case that would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court or Governmental Authority or third party is required in connection with the execution and delivery, or performance, by any Fund Borrower of the Loan Documents or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the failure to so obtain would result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 8.05    Enforceable Obligations.  This Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party are the legal and binding obligations of each Borrower Party, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to Debtor Relief Laws and equitable principles (whether considered a proceeding in equity or law).
Section 8.06    Priority of Liens.  The Collateral Documents create, as security for the Obligations, valid and enforceable, first priority Liens (subject only to Permitted Liens) on all of the Collateral in which any Fund Borrower has any right, title or interest, in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders, except as enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and equitable principles.
Section 8.07    Financial Condition.  Beginning with the financial statements covering the first closing of each Fund Borrower, each Fund Borrower has delivered to Administrative Agent the most-recently available copies of the financial statements and reports described in Section 9.01, certified as true and correct in all material respects by a Responsible Officer of such Fund Borrower.  Such statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition of such Fund Borrower as of the applicable date of delivery, and the results of such Fund Borrower’s operations for the period covered thereby, and have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and subject to year-end adjustments and absence of footnotes.
Section 8.08    Full Disclosure.  No report, financial statement, certificate or other written information furnished with respect to any Fund Borrower, by or on behalf of any Borrower Party to Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Credit Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (when taken as a whole) contains any misstatement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, taken as a whole, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made and as of the date the same are so furnished, not misleading in any material respect.
Section 8.09    No Default.  No event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes an Event of Default or a Default.

Section 8.10    No Litigation.  There are no actions, suits, investigations or legal, equitable, arbitration or administrative proceedings pending against any Borrower Party that have resulted in a Material Adverse Effect.

All tax returns required to be filed by any Borrower Party in any jurisdiction have been filed and all Taxes upon such Borrower Party or upon any of its respective properties, income or franchises have been paid prior to the time that such Taxes would give rise to a Lien thereon (other than Liens for Taxes not yet due and payable or the amount or validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings) or to the extent the failure to do so would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  There is no proposed Tax assessment against any Borrower Party or any basis for such assessment which is material and not being contested in good faith or has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 8.13    Principal Office; Jurisdiction of Formation.  As of the date hereof, (a) each of the principal office, chief executive office, and principal place of business of such Borrower Party is correctly listed on Schedule 8.13 hereto; and (b) the jurisdiction of formation of such Borrower Party is correctly listed on Schedule 8.13 hereto, and such Borrower Party is not organized under the laws of any other jurisdiction.

(c)    the assets of each Borrower Party do not constitute Plan Assets; and
(d)    assuming no Credit Extension is funded or held with Plan Assets (unless the applicable Lender is relying on an applicable prohibited transaction exemption, the conditions of which are satisfied), the execution, delivery and performance of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the enforcement of the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents, and the borrowing and repayment of amounts under this Credit Agreement do not and will not constitute a “non-exempt prohibited transaction” under Section 4975(c)(1)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of the Code or Section 406(a) of ERISA that would subject Administrative Agent or Lenders to any tax, penalty, damages or any other claim or relief under Section 4975 of the Code or ERISA.
Section 8.15    Compliance with Law.  Each Fund Borrower is, and each other Borrower Party is, at the time any Credit Extension is made to or guaranteed by such Borrower Party, in compliance in all material respects with all Laws, rules, regulations, orders, and decrees which are applicable to such Borrower Party or its properties, including, without limitation, Environmental Laws and the Investment Company Act.

Section 8.16    Hazardous Substances.  No Fund Borrower:  (a) has received any notice or other communication or otherwise learned of any Environmental Liability which individually or in the aggregate has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect arising in connection with:  (i) any non-compliance with or violation of the requirements of any Environmental Law by a Borrower Party, or any permit issued under any Environmental Law to such Borrower Party; or (ii) the Release of any Hazardous Material into the environment; and (b) to its knowledge, has threatened or actual liability in connection with the Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Material into the environment which individually or in the aggregate has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 8.18    [Reserved].  
Section 8.19    Capital Commitments and Contributions.  Except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Administrative Agent, there are no Capital Call Notices outstanding and no Investor is in default under the applicable Constituent Document or its Subscription Agreement.

Such Borrower Party has no knowledge of a default or circumstance which with the passage of time and/or giving of notice would constitute an event of default under its Constituent Documents or any Subscription Agreement or Side Letter which would constitute a defense to the obligations of a majority of such Borrower Party’s Investors, if applicable, to make Capital Contributions to such Borrower Party, if applicable, pursuant to a Capital Call in accordance with the Subscription Agreements (and any Side Letters) or such Borrower Party’s Constituent Document, if applicable, and has no knowledge of any claims of offset or any other claims of the Investors against such Borrower Party which would reasonably be expected to diminish or adversely affect the obligations of the Included Investors to make Capital Contributions and fund Capital Calls in accordance with the Subscription Agreements (and any related Side Letters) or the applicable Borrower Party’s Constituent Document, other than that which has been disclosed in writing by such Borrower Party to the Administrative Agent. 
Section 8.22    Margin Stock.  No proceeds of any Loan incurred by such Borrower Party or Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower Party will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock in a manner that would result in a violation of Regulation U.

Section 8.23    Sanctions.  Such Borrower Party, any Person directly or indirectly controlled by such Borrower Party, and a Person directly or indirectly controlling such Borrower Party is not:  (a) a Sanctioned Person, or (b) controlled by or acting on behalf of a Sanctioned Person.

NEGATIVE COVENANTS
So long as Lenders have any commitment to lend hereunder or to cause the issuance of any Letters of Credit, and until payment and performance in full of the Obligations under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Fund Borrower agrees that:
Section 10.01    Borrower Party Information.  No Borrower Party shall change its name, jurisdiction of formation, chief executive office and/or principal place of business without providing thirty (30) days’ (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a change of jurisdiction of formation, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and during such notice period, the applicable Borrower Party shall perform all such acts and execute all such documents as are reasonably required in order to perfect and maintain the Lenders’ perfected Lien on the Collateral having the same priority as such Lien immediately prior to such change.
Section 10.02    Mergers; Dissolution.  No Fund Borrower will merge, consolidate or divide with or into any Person, unless a Fund Borrower is the surviving entity, provided however, that if any such merger involves two or more Fund Borrowers or a Fund Borrower, such merger shall not be consummated without prior confirmation from Administrative Agent that its Liens in the Collateral, after giving effect to such merger, have been preserved, or receipt by Administrative Agent of documentation it reasonably requires to so preserve such Liens.  No Fund Borrower will take any action to dissolve, wind-up or terminate such Fund Borrower, including, without limitation, any action to sell or dispose of all or substantially all of the property of such Fund Borrower, unless (a) to the extent such Borrower Party is a Borrower Party, such Borrower Party is no longer a Borrower Party hereunder, (b) such termination or dissolution shall not cause or permit the cancellation, excuse or reduction of the Unfunded Commitment or Capital Commitment of any Investors, and (c) such termination, winding-up or dissolution shall not adversely affect the ability of the rest of the Borrower Parties to perform their Obligations under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided, that a sale of any Portfolio Companies shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 10.02.
Section 10.03    Negative Pledge.  Without the approval of all Lenders, none of the Borrower Parties will create or suffer to exist any Lien upon the Collateral, other than:  (a) Liens in and upon the Collateral to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties created by the Loan Documents and Permitted Liens; (b) Liens imposed by Law for Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; (c) Liens arising by virtue of any statutory or common law provision relating to banker’s liens, rights of setoff or similar rights and remedies as to deposit account or other funds maintained with depository institutions; and (d) ordinary course Liens arising in favor of the Account Bank in respect of the Collateral Account or in favor of the AML Administrator in respect of the AML Account.
Section 10.04    Fiscal Year and Accounting Method.  Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent alone (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), no Fund Borrower will change its fiscal year or method of accounting, unless otherwise required to do so by Law or as instructed to do so by a Governmental Authority.

Section 10.05    Constituent Documents.  Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent consistent with this Section, no Fund Borrower shall alter, amend, modify, terminate, or change any provision of its Constituent Documents, any Subscription Agreement or, any Side Letter or enter any new Side Letter (each, a “proposed amendment”), if such proposed amendment would affect the Investors’ duties, obligations, and liabilities, or the rights, titles, Liens, powers and privileges of such Fund Borrower, Administrative Agent or Lenders, or relates to Capital Call Notices, Capital Commitments, Capital Contributions or the right to recall distributions; or amend the terms of its Constituent Document as it relates to limitations on indebtedness and guarantees, in each case in any way that materially and adversely affects the rights of Administrative Agent or Lenders (each a “material amendment”).  With respect to any proposed amendment, the applicable Fund Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of such proposal.  Administrative Agent shall determine, in its sole but reasonable discretion (that is, the determination of the other Lenders shall not be required) on Administrative Agent’s good faith belief, whether such proposed amendment is a material amendment, and shall notify the appropriate Fund Borrower of its determination within five (5) Business Days of the date on which it is deemed to have received such notification pursuant to Section 13.07.  If Administrative Agent determines that the proposed amendment is a material amendment, the approval of the Required Lenders and Administrative Agent will be required (unless the approval of all Lenders is required consistent with the terms of Section 13.01), and Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lenders of such request for such approval, distributing, as appropriate, the proposed amendment and any other relevant information provided by any Fund Borrower.  The Required Lenders shall, within five (5) Business Days from the date on which the Administrative Agent determines that the proposed amendment is a material amendment, deliver their approval or denial thereof. If Administrative Agent determines that the proposed amendment is not a material amendment, the applicable Fund Borrower may make such amendment without the consent of Lenders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of Administrative Agent or Lenders, a Fund Borrower may amend its Constituent Documents:  (i) to admit new Investors to the extent permitted by this Credit Agreement; and (ii) to reflect transfers of interests permitted by this Credit Agreement.

(b)    Designation of Investors.  A transferee (or any other new Investor) (a “Subsequent Investor”) that meets the Applicable Requirement, as determined by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion may be designated as a Rated Included Investor with the consent of Administrative Agent.  Designation of any other Subsequent Investor as a Rated Included Investor, and designation of any Subsequent Investor as a Non-Rated Included Investor will require the consent of all Lenders.

(c)    Documentation Requirements.  Each Fund Borrower, with respect to any transfer by any Investor of its Unfunded Commitment to an existing Borrowing Base Investor or to a Person that such Fund Borrower proposes as a new Borrowing Base Investor, shall deliver copies of documents relating to such transfer and information about the transferee as reasonably required by Administrative Agent in order to effect its due diligence under this Credit Agreement prior to such transfer.  The applicable Fund Borrower shall deliver a copy of the Subscription Agreement and any Side Letter to Administrative Agent for any Person admitted as a Subsequent Investor.  In the event any Person is admitted as a Subsequent Investor, or there is a material change to the information on Exhibit A, the applicable Fund Borrower will deliver to Administrative Agent a revised Exhibit A to this Credit Agreement, containing the names of each Investor and the Capital Commitments of each Investor upon the admission of such Subsequent Investor or upon the occurrence of such material change.
(d)    Funding Requirements.  Prior to the effectiveness of any transfer by any Borrowing Base Investor, the Fund Borrowers shall calculate whether, taking into account the Unfunded Commitments of the Borrowing Base Investors as if such transfer had occurred, the transfer would cause the Principal Obligation to exceed the Available Commitment, and shall make any Capital Calls required to pay any resulting mandatory prepayment under Section 3.04, and pay any required mandatory prepayment, prior to permitting such transfer.
(e)    Sanctions Compliance.  Any admission of an assignee of an interest in such Borrower Party, if applicable, or as a substitute Investor and any admission of a Person as a new Investor of such Borrower Party, if applicable, shall be subject to the admission of such Person, (i) not violating Sanctions, Anti-Corruption Laws or Anti-Money Laundering Laws and (ii) being KYC Compliant.
Section 10.07    Capital Commitments.  No Fund Borrower shall:  (a) without prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall be based on the consent of all Lenders with respect to any cancellation of Capital Commitments of Borrowing Base Investors), Cancel the Capital Commitment of any Investor; and (b) without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent and all Lenders, issue any Capital Call Notices other than in accordance with this Credit Agreement.  The applicable Fund Borrower shall deliver written notice of any cancellation permitted to be made without Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ consent, to Administrative Agent promptly upon the exercise of the same.
Section 10.08    ERISA Compliance.  (a) No Borrower Party shall establish, maintain, contribute to, or incur any liability with respect to, any Plan; (b) no ERISA Affiliate of any Borrower Party shall establish, maintain, contribute to, or incur any liability with respect to, any Plan, individually or in the aggregate, which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (c) without the approval of all Lenders, no Borrower Party shall take any action, or omit to take any action, that would cause its assets to constitute Plan Assets; (d) no Fund Borrower that has previously been required to deliver an Operating Company Opinion hereunder shall change its Annual Valuation Period without giving prior written notice to Administrative Agent; and (e) no Borrower Party shall take any action, or omit to take any action, which (assuming that no Credit Extension is funded or held with Plan Assets, unless the applicable Lender is relying on an applicable prohibited transaction exemption, the conditions of which are satisfied) would give rise to a “non-exempt prohibited transaction” under Section 4975(c)(1)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of the Code or Section 406(a) of ERISA and would subject Administrative Agent or Lenders to any tax, penalty, damages or any other claim or relief under Section 4975 of the Code or ERISA.

Section 10.09    Environmental Matters.  Except for such conditions as are in or will promptly be brought into compliance with relevant Environmental Laws or otherwise would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Fund Borrower:  (a) shall cause any Hazardous Material to be generated, placed, held, located or disposed of on, under or at, or transported to or from, any Property of any Fund Borrower in material violation of Environmental Law; or (b) shall permit any such Property to ever be used as a dump site or storage site (whether permanent or temporary) for any Hazardous Material in material violation of Environmental Law.
Section 10.10    Limitations on Dividends and Distributions.  No Fund Borrower shall declare or pay any dividends or Distributions except as permitted under its Constituent Documents. After a Cash Control Event while Principal Obligations remain outstanding, the Initial Borrower shall not declare or pay any Distributions other than Permitted RIC Distributions.  No Fund Borrower shall use proceeds of the Loans or issuance of any Letter of Credit to pay dividends or distributions (for the avoidance of doubt, payment of management fees shall not be considered a payment of dividends or distributions). “Distribution” means any distributions (whether or not in cash) on account of any Equity Interest in a Fund Borrower, including as a dividend or other distribution and on account of the purchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition of any such Equity Interest.
Section 10.11    Limitation on Withdrawals.  Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) no Fund Borrower shall make nor cause the making of any withdrawal or transfer of funds from any Collateral Account if a Cash Control Event has occurred and is continuing and Principal Obligations remain outstanding, other than withdrawals for the purpose of repaying Obligations.
Section 10.12    Limitation on Debt.  The Fund Borrowers shall not incur Indebtedness other than the Obligations, except that a Fund Borrower may incur: (a) Indebtedness described in clause (h) of the definition of Indebtedness; and (b) Indebtedness that does not exceed the limitations set forth in the applicable Constituent Document or, with respect to the Initial Borrower, the Investment Company Act.
Section 10.13    General Excuse Rights.  No Fund Borrower shall consent to designate any Investment as a General Excused Investment or permit any other Funding Excuse after the Closing Date without prior written notice to Administrative Agent. If a Borrowing Base Deficiency would result from such General Excused Investment or Funding Excuse, the Fund Borrowers shall cure such Borrowing Base Deficiency prior to consenting to such General Excused Investment or Funding Excuse. 
Section 10.14    Sanctions, Anti-Money Laundering Laws, and Anti-Corruption Laws. No Borrower Party nor any Affiliate thereof shall directly, or to its knowledge, indirectly, permit any part of the proceeds of any Loan to be used (i) to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Jurisdiction, (ii) in any other manner that would result in a violation of applicable Sanctions or Anti-Money Laundering Laws by a Person (including any Person participating in the Loans, whether as Administrative Agent, Lender, underwriter, advisor, investor, or otherwise) or (iii) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of Anti-Corruption Laws.

Section 10.15    Transfers of Capital Commitments.  No Borrower Party shall either (i) transfer the Unfunded Commitments of one or more Investors to any other Person, or (ii) cause Capital Contributions to be made to another Person, in either case, unless such Person has joined the Credit Agreement as a Fund Borrower in accordance with Section 7.04.

(m)    a breach by a Borrower Party of the Constituent Documents of any Borrower Party that in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or
(n)    an event shall occur that causes a dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of any Borrower Party.
Section 11.02    Remedies Upon Event of Default.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 11.01(g), 11.01(h) or 11.01(j)), the Fund Borrowers shall be permitted (and the Administrative Agent shall not be permitted) within five (5) Business Days following such Event of Default to issue a Capital Call in order to cure such Event of Default (or repay the Obligations in full); provided, that (a) any such Capital Call must require payment by Investors within twelve (12) Business Days after the date of such Capital Call; (b) the Capital Contributions and all other amounts paid in respect of any such Capital Call are deposited into the Collateral Accounts, either directly or through the applicable AML Account; (c) the Borrowers direct that such Capital Contributions and other payments, together with any other funds held in the Collateral Accounts and the applicable AML Account, shall be withdrawn by the Administrative Agent to cure such Event of Default or repay Borrower Parties’ Obligations in their entirety, and (d) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender may issue any Capital Call during such twelve (12) Business Day period (so long as the Fund Borrowers have issued any Capital Calls within the initial five (5) Business Day period that require payment by the Investors within the twelve (12) Business Days after the dates of such Capital Calls). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit the Administrative Agent or any Lender from (i) exercising any rights and remedies it may have (other than the issuance of any Capital Calls during the time periods specified in the preceding sentence) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (ii) exerting control over any Collateral Account upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Control Event, (iii) taking any actions as may be required to protect its rights in a bankruptcy proceeding, (iv) exercising any rights or remedies it may have with respect to any Event of Default pursuant to Sections 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) or any other Event of Default that shall have occurred and be continuing that cannot be cured by the funding of Uncalled Capital Commitments or (v) exercising any other rights or remedies it may have with respect to any failure of any Fund Borrower to issue a Capital Call upon its Investors following a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04 as required by this Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents.
Section 11.03    Performance by Administrative Agent.  Should any Borrower Party fail to perform any covenant, duty, or agreement contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, and such failure continues beyond any applicable cure period, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty, or agreement on behalf of such Person.  In such event, each Borrower Party shall, at the written request of Administrative Agent promptly pay any reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket amount expended by Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s Office, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of invoicing until paid.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders assume any liability or responsibility for the performance of any duties of any Borrower Party, or any related Person hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or other control over the management and affairs of any Borrower Party, or any related Person, nor by any such action shall Administrative Agent or Lenders be deemed to create a partnership arrangement with any Borrower Party or any related Person.
Section 11.04    Application of Funds.  After the exercise of remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default provided for in Section 11.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the proviso to Section 11.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.15, be applied by Administrative Agent in the following order:
First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Section 4) payable to Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to Lenders (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and amounts payable under Section 4), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;
Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and other Obligations, ratably among Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;
Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, ratably among Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them; and
Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower Parties or as otherwise required by Law.
Section 11.05    Good Faith Duty to Cooperate.  Subject to Section 11.02(b), in the event that Administrative Agent or Required Lenders elect to commence the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 11.02 as a result of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Fund Borrowers agree to cooperate in good faith with Administrative Agent to enable Administrative Agent to issue Capital Call Notices and enforce the payment thereof by the Investors, including but not limited to providing contact information for each Investor within two (2) Business Days of request.
ARTICLE XII

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.
Section 12.01    Appointment and Authority.  Each Lender (including any Person that is an assignee, participant, secured party or other transferee with respect to the interest of such Lender in any Principal Obligation or otherwise under this Credit Agreement) (collectively with such Lender, a “Lender Party”) hereby irrevocably appoints Morgan Stanley Asset Funding, Inc. to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere herein and in the other Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, nor shall any Agent have or been deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist against any Agent. The provisions of this Section 12 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders, and no Borrower Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions (except for the provisions that explicitly relate to any Borrower Party in Sections 12.06, 12.07, 12.11 and 12.12).  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

Section 12.02    Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own security of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders.
Section 12.03    Exculpatory Provisions.  Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent:
(a)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)    shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(c)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower Parties or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it: (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.02 and 13.01); or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default (except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders) unless and until notice describing the same is given in writing to Administrative Agent by a Borrower Party or a Lender.

Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into:  (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith; (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document; or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 7 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent.
Section 12.04    Reliance by Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.  Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 12.05    Delegation of Duties.  Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of their duties and exercise their rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 12.06    Resignation of Administrative Agent.  (a)   Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Borrower Parties.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Fund Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, which consent shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States and who shall be a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(ii) .  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of Lenders and Letter of Credit Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.  Whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)    If the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Fund Borrowers and such Person and remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Fund Borrowers, appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable):  (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed); and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 4.01(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer, (b) the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.  The fees payable by the Borrower Parties to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower Parties and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section and Section 13.06 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
Section 12.07    Notice of Default.  No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower Party referring to the Loan Document, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders and as is permitted by the Loan Documents.  
Section 12.08    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Credit Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 12.09    No Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Lead Arranger or book managers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.
Section 12.10    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 Borrower Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Liability shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Liability and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 2.11 and otherwise hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and
(c)    any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent hereunder.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 12.11    Collateral Matters.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 12.10, Lenders irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Loan Document:  (a) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations and unasserted expense reimbursement obligations); or (b) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document; or (c) subject to Section 13.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders.  Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 12.11.  In each case as specified in this Section 12.11, the Administrative Agent will, at the Fund Borrowers’ reasonable expense, execute and deliver to the Fund Borrowers such documents as the Fund Borrowers may reasonably request to evidence the release of Collateral from the collateral assignment and release any security interest or Lien granted under the Loans Documents in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 12.11.  The Fund Borrowers shall be third-party beneficiaries of the provisions in this Section 12.11.
Section 12.12    Reliance by the Borrower Parties.  The Borrower Parties shall be entitled to rely upon, and to act or refrain from acting on the basis of, any notice, statement, certificate, waiver or other document or instrument delivered by Administrative Agent to the Borrower Parties, so long as Administrative Agent is purporting to act in its respective capacity as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement, and the Borrower Parties shall not be responsible or liable to any Lender (or to any Participant or to any Assignee), or as a result of any action or failure to act (including actions or omissions which would otherwise constitute defaults hereunder) which is based upon such reliance upon Administrative Agent.  The Borrower Parties shall be entitled to treat Administrative Agent as the properly authorized Administrative Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement until the Borrower Parties shall have received notice of resignation, and the Borrower Parties shall not be obligated to recognize any successor Administrative Agent until the Borrower Parties shall have received written notification satisfactory to it of the appointment of such successor.

Section 12.13    Indemnification.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify, upon demand, the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by a Borrower Party and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower Parties to do so), ratably in accordance with the applicable Lender’s respective Lender’s Pro Rata Share, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following payment in full of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by it under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or related to another Lender; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 12.13.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney costs) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower Parties.  The agreements in this Section 12.13 shall survive the termination of the Commitments, payment of all of the Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, as well as the resignation or replacement of any Agent. 
Section 12.14    Erroneous Payments.
(a)    Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender)  (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day 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 Dollars, and if such Lender fails to return the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) to the Administrative Agent by such Business Day, such Lender shall also pay the Administrative Agent interest thereon in respect of each day after such Business Day to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, 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 Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

(b)    Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that which is required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof or that which is specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (a “Erroneous Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, or (z) that such Lender otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, an error has been made with respect to such Erroneous Payment, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, 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 Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.  Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its actual knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than one (1) Business Day 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 Dollars, and if such Lender fails to return the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) to the Administrative Agent by such Business Day, such Lender shall also pay the Administrative Agent  interest thereon in respect of each day after such Business Day to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.  Each Lender further authorizes and agrees that in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from such Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) and Administrative Agent has received amounts that are due and owing to such Lender which the Administrative Agent is required to remit to such Lender, Administrative Agent may offset such amounts by the equivalent amount of Erroneous Payments received by such Lender and, as applicable, return such amounts to the applicable payor.
(c)    The Borrower hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount, and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower.
(d)    Each party’s obligations under this Section 12.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

Neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any of the terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated, other than in accordance with its terms, unless such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination is in writing and signed by Required Lenders or Administrative Agent (based upon the approval of Required Lenders), on the one hand, and the applicable Borrower Parties on the other hand; provided, that, if this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document specifically provides that the terms thereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated with the approval of the Administrative Agent, acting alone, or all Lenders, then such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination must be signed by the Administrative Agent or all Lenders, as applicable, on the one hand, and the Borrower Parties on the other hand; provided further, that no such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination shall:
(a)    without the consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender affected thereby and, if affected thereby, the Letter of Credit Issuer:
(i)    extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender, or alter the provisions relating to any fees (or any other payments) payable to such Lender (for the avoidance of doubt, only the Lender whose Commitment is to be extended or increased shall be deemed affected thereby);

(b)    without the consent of all Lenders:
(i)    change Section 11.04 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby;
(ii)    release any Liens granted under the Collateral Documents, except as otherwise contemplated herein or therein, and except in connection with the transfer of interests in any Fund Borrower permitted hereunder;

(x)    consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower Party of any of its rights and obligations under (or in respect of) the Loan Documents; or
(xi)    amend the terms of this Section 13.01.
Notwithstanding the above: (A) no provisions of Section 12 may be amended or modified without the consent of Administrative Agent; and (B) Sections 9 and 10 specify the requirements for waivers of the affirmative covenants and negative covenants listed therein, and any amendment to any provision of Section 9 or 10 shall require the consent of Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, that are specified therein as required for a waiver thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders):  (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender; and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all Lenders and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Issuer, is required in certain circumstances as set forth above and in Section 10:  (1) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans or the Letters of Credit, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein; and (2) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Borrower Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.  Administrative Agent may, after consultation with the Borrower Parties, agree to the modification of any term of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to correct any printing, stenographic or clerical errors or omissions that are inconsistent with the terms hereof.
If Administrative Agent shall request the consent of any Lender and, if applicable, the Letter of Credit Issuer, to any amendment, change, waiver, discharge, termination, consent or exercise of rights covered by this Credit Agreement, and not receive such consent or denial thereof in writing within ten (10) Business Days of the making of such request by Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such Lender shall be deemed to have denied the request. Notwithstanding the above,  no provisions of Section 2.07 may be amended or modified without the consent of the Letter of Credit Issuer.

Section 13.02    Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, 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, but excluding deposits held for payroll, tax withholding or in a custodial, trust or fiduciary capacity) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower Party against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower Party now or hereafter existing under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not Administrative Agent, such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower Party are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff: (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders; and (b) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Lender and its respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower Parties and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
Section 13.03    Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall:
(a)    notify Administrative Agent of such fact; and
(b)    purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(i)    if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii)    the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to: (x) any payment made by or on behalf of any Borrower Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender); (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Sections 2.07(h) and 4.08; or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans and Letters of Credit to any Assignee or Participant, other than an assignment to any Borrower Party (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Borrower Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower Party in the amount of such participation.
Section 13.04    Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any Borrower Party makes a payment to Administrative Agent or any Lender, or Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then: (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment.  The obligations of Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Credit Agreement.
Section 13.05    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement.  No failure by any Lender or Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrower Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 11.02 for the benefit of all Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit:  (a) Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; (b)  any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.02 (subject to the terms of Section 13.03); or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Borrower Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; then: (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.02; and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 13.03, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

Section 13.06    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.  (a)  Costs and Expenses.  The Fund Borrowers jointly and severally, shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, including the Administrative Agent’s special counsel, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, syndication and administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications, addition of Investors, amendments to any Constituent Document, joinder of a Borrower Party, or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, and (iii) all documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(c)    Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that any Borrower Party for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (but without releasing such Borrower Party from its obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Letter of Credit Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of Lenders under this subsection (c) are several.
(d)    Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.
(e)    This Section shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc., arising from any non-Tax claim.

Each Lender agrees to provide to Administrative Agent a written notice stating such Lender’s address, fax number, telephone number, email address and the name of a contact person, and Administrative Agent may, unless otherwise provided herein, rely on such written notice for purposes of delivering any notice, demand, request or other communication under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender unless and until a Lender provides Administrative Agent with a written notice designating a different address, fax number, telephone number, email address or contact person.

(ii)    any party may change its address for purposes of this Credit Agreement by giving notice of such change to the other parties pursuant to this Section 13.07.

Section 13.10    Invalid Provisions.  If any provision of this Credit Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future Laws effective during the term of this Credit Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable and this Credit Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Credit Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Credit Agreement, unless such continued effectiveness of this Credit Agreement, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein.  If any provision of this Credit Agreement shall conflict with or be inconsistent with any provision of any of the other Loan Documents, then the terms, conditions and provisions of this Credit Agreement shall prevail.
Section 13.11    Successors and Assigns.  (a)  Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except: (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 13.11; (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (e) of this Section 13.11; or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment, or grant, of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (f) of this Section 13.11 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in clause (e) of this Section 13.11, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Credit Agreement.
(b)    Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)    Minimum Amounts.
(A)    in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in clause (b)(i)(B) of this Section 13.11 in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B)    in any case not described in subclause (A) above, the aggregate amount of the Commitments (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitments are not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Fund Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii)    Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned.
(iii)    Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A)    the prior written consent of the Fund Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless:  (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment; or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender (other than an Affiliate whose primary activity is private debt or equity, venture capital or investing in entities via a “distressed debt”, “loan to own” strategy or a similar strategy) or an Approved Fund, or is made pursuant to Section 13.11(f); provided that, the Fund Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B)    the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and
(C)    the consent of the Letter of Credit Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.
(iv)    Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  The Assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire.
(v)    No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made: (A) to a Borrower Party or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower Party; (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B); (C) to a natural person, or (D) to any person whose primary activity is private debt or equity, venture capital or investing in entities via a “distressed debt”, “loan to own” strategy or a similar strategy.
(vi)    Borrower Requested Assignments.  Each assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower Parties under Section 13.12 shall be arranged by the Borrower Parties after consultation with Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Credit Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another assignment or assignments that together constitute an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender.

(vii)    Certain Additional Payments.  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 such assignment shall make such additional payments to 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 Fund Borrowers and Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by such Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable Assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to: (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of the applicable Loans and participations in Letters of Credit 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 Credit Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(c)    Effect of Assignment.  Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 13.11, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits and obligations of Sections 4.01, 4.05, 4.06 and 13.06 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  Upon request, each applicable Borrower Party (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the Assignee, and the applicable existing Note or Notes shall be returned to the applicable Borrower Party.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (e) of this Section.

(d)    Register.  Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower Parties (such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Borrower Party, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement.  The Register is intended to cause each Loan and other obligation hereunder to be in registered form within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Parties and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e)    Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower Party or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, or a Borrower Party or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit 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 Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) each Borrower Party, Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer 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 Credit Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 13.06(c) without regard to the existence of any 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 Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the second proviso to Section 13.01 that directly affects such Participant.  Each Borrower Party agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits and subject to the obligations and limitations of Sections 4.01, 4.05, and 4.06 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.11 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.01(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation, in addition to the Borrower Parties and Administrative Agent) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.11; provided that such Participant: (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.07 and 13.12 as if it were an Assignee under clause (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.01 or 4.06 with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, 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.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower Parties’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower Parties to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.07 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.02 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.03 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower Parties, maintain a register complying with the requirements of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitment, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Credit Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(f)    Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 13.12    Replacement of Lender.  If any Borrower Party is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.07, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower Parties may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.11), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.05) and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(a)    the Borrower Parties shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 13.11(b); provided, however, that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such assignment fee in the case of any assignment;
(b)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.06) from the Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower Parties (in the case of all other amounts);
(c)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.05 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(d)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower Parties to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 13.13    Maximum Interest.  Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, Lenders shall never be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on the Obligations any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, and, in the event that Lenders ever receive, collect or apply as interest any such excess, the amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed to be a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such; and, if the principal amount of the Obligations is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the applicable Borrower Party.  In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the Maximum Rate, each Borrower Party and Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law:  (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligations so that the interest rate does not exceed the Maximum Rate; provided that, if the Obligations are paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Rate, Lenders shall refund to the applicable Borrower Party the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the principal amount of the Obligations and, in such event, Lenders shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any Laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Rate.  As used herein, the term “Applicable Law” shall mean the Law in effect as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the event there is a change in Law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then the Loan Documents shall be governed by such new Law as of its effective date.
Section 13.14    Headings.  Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Credit Agreement.
Section 13.15    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 Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan, any issuance of Letter of Credit or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
Section 13.16    Limited Liability of Investors.  None of the Investors, shall have any personal, partnership, corporate or trust liability for the payment or performance of the Obligations.  Nothing contained in this Section 13.16 or in any of the other provisions of the Loan Documents shall be construed to limit, restrict, or impede the obligations, the liabilities, and indebtedness of any Borrower Party, or of any Investor to make its Capital Contributions to any Fund Borrower in accordance with the terms of the applicable Constituent Document and its Subscription Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 13.16, the payment and performance of the Obligations shall be fully recourse to Borrower Parties and their respective properties and assets.

Section 13.17    Confidentiality.  Each of Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed:  (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Credit Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Credit Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) to any pledgee under Section 13.11(f); (g) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to: (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement; or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to Borrower Parties and their obligations, this Credit Agreement or payments hereunder; (h) with the consent of the applicable Borrower Party; or (i) to the extent such Information: (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section; (y) becomes available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Borrower Party; or (z) was independently developed by Administrative Agent or any Lender.  For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Fund Borrower relating to any Fund Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by such Person. The agreements in this Section 13.17 shall survive the termination of the Commitments, payment of all of the Principal Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein for a period of two (2) years following such termination.
Section 13.18    Customer Identification Notice.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Borrower Party that U.S. law requires each U.S. Lender and the Administrative Agent to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower Party (and in certain circumstance the beneficial owners thereof), which information includes the name and address of each Borrower Party (and beneficial owner) and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Borrower Party (and beneficial owner).

Section 13.19    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that:  (a)(i) the arranging and other services regarding this Credit Agreement provided by the Agents and Lenders, are arm’s-length commercial transactions between each Borrower Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents and Lenders, on the other hand; (ii) each Borrower Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate; and (iii) each Borrower Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b)(i) the Agents and each Lender each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Borrower Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person; and (ii) no Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to any Borrower Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Agents, Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of any Borrower Party and their respective Affiliates, and no Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Borrower Party or any of their respective Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Borrower Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against an Agent and any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
Section 13.20    Judgment Currency.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.  The obligation of each Borrower Party in respect of any such sum due from it to Administrative Agent or Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Credit Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to Administrative Agent from any Borrower Party in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing, against such loss.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to Administrative Agent in such currency, Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).

Section 13.21    Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.  The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as an original manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
Section 13.22    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Credit Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 7.01, this Credit Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Credit Agreement by fax or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of an original manually executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement.
Section 13.23    Full Recourse.  The payment and performance of the Obligations shall be fully recourse to the Fund Borrowers and their properties and assets.  Notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents to the contrary, but subject to this Section 13.23, the Obligations shall not be recourse to any Investor (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 13.23 is in any way intended to limit or reduce any Investor’s obligations to fund its Capital Commitment under the related Constituent Document, and the Secured Parties’ rights to enforce the same pursuant to this Credit Agreement and the Collateral Documents) or any of their Affiliates (other than the Fund Borrowers) or any of their respective past, present or future direct or indirect members, partners, shareholders, officers, directors, agents or employees (the “Non-Recourse Parties”) and the Agents and Lenders shall not have the right to pursue any claim or action (including arbitration proceeding) against the Non-Recourse Parties.
Section 13.24    Term of Agreement.  This Credit Agreement shall remain in effect from the Closing Date through and including the date upon which all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full, all Letters of Credit have been terminated or expired and all Commitments have been terminated.  No termination of this Credit Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such termination or in respect of any provision of this Credit Agreement which survives such termination.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect after the Maturity Date if any Letters of Credit remain outstanding, even if Cash Collateralized.

Section 13.25    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Exhibit 10.2

RELAY THERAPEUTICS, INC.

RETENTION AWARD AGREEMENT

This Retention Bonus Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered effective as of May 10, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), between Relay Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) and Donald Bergstrom, M.D., Ph.D. (“Employee”).

WHEREAS, Employee occupies a key position with the Company and in order to ensure the continued effective conduct of the Company’s business, the Company desires to assure itself of the continuous services of Employee; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to offer Employee a retention bonus award to incentivize Employee to remain employed with the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

	
1.
	
Retention Award.  In the event that Employee remains continuously employed by the Company between the Effective Date and each date set forth below (each, a “Milestone Date”), then Employee shall be eligible to receive a retention award (each, a “Retention Award”) at the time and in the amount set forth on the following schedule, provided that Employee remains continuously employed with the Company as of each applicable Milestone Date: 

	
 
	
(a)
	
Employee shall receive $600,000 on May 31, 2023; and

	
 
	
(b)
	
Employee shall receive $600,000 on May 31, 2024.

Payment of any Retention Award will be made by the Company in the next payroll after the applicable Milestone Date.

	
2.
	
Termination of Employment.  Employee shall no longer be eligible for a Retention Award if Employee’s employment is terminated for any reason prior to the applicable Milestone Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall pay Employee any unpaid Retention Award on the applicable Milestone Date provided in Section 1 of this Agreement if the Company terminates Employee’s employment without Cause (as defined herein) prior to such applicable Milestone Date. 

	
3.
	
No Effect on Severance and Other Benefits. This Agreement shall not affect Employee’s eligibility or entitlement to receive any benefits payable to Employee under another severance or change of control plan, policy or agreement with the Company.

	
4.
	
Other Rights and Agreements.  This Agreement does not create any employment rights not specifically set forth herein with respect to Employee.  Employee’s employment remains at-will and can be terminated by the Company at any time and for any reason, with or without Cause.  This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Company and Employee with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

 

	
5.
	
Taxation; Section 409A. All payments described herein shall be subject to any and all applicable federal, state, local, foreign and/or other withholding taxes and all other authorized payroll deduction. This Agreement is intended to either comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and final regulations, rulings and other applicable guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”), and shall be interpreted and administered accordingly.  For purposes of Section 409A, references to termination of employment shall, to the extent any payments hereunder are not exempt from Section 409A, be interpreted consistent with the definition of “separation from service” in Section 409A (after giving effect to the presumptions contained therein). If at the time of Employee’s termination, Employee is deemed to be a “specified employee” of the Company under Section 409A, then limited only to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, any payments which are subject to Section 409A (and not otherwise exempt from its application) shall be withheld until the 1st business day of the 7th month following the termination of Employee’s employment, at which time Employee shall be paid an aggregate amount equal to the accumulated but unpaid payments otherwise due to Employee. It is intended that each installment of the payments provided in this Agreement shall be treated as a separate “payment” under Section 409A.  Neither the Company nor Employee shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery of any such payments except to the extent specifically permitted or required by Section 409A. Employee acknowledges that the Company does not guarantee the tax treatment or tax consequences associated with any payment provided in this Agreement, including but not limited to under Section 409A.

	
6.
	
Definition of Cause. As used herein, the term “Cause” shall mean: (a) fraud, embezzlement, or illegal misconduct in connection with Employee’s duties under this Agreement; (b) Employee’s commission of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a crime that constitutes a felony (excluding minor traffic violations); (c) willful misconduct or gross negligence that is materially injurious to Company’s business, reputation or affairs; (d) alcohol or substance abuse that materially interferes with the performance by Employee of his duties or obligations; (e) repeated absence from work during normal business hours for reasons other than permitted absence; (f) violation of this Agreement or any other material agreement between Employee and Company; (g) repeated violation of any of the material policies or practices of Company (including but not limited to discrimination or harassment), or a single serious violation of such policies or practices that Company, in its discretion, determines is materially injurious to the business or reputation of Company; or (h) material failure or refusal to perform the duties and obligations delegated to Employee commensurate with Employee’s position as an employee of Company, which, if capable of being cured, continues after (A) Company delivers a written notice to Employee describing such failure or refusal, and (B) Employee has failed to cure such failure or refusal after a reasonable time period determined by Company in its reasonable discretion (not to be less than 30 days)

	
7.
	
General.  This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement signed by the Company and Employee. This Agreement shall be binding on the Employee and Employee’s executor, administrator and heirs, but may not be assigned by Employee.  This Agreement may be transferred or assigned by the Company and shall be binding on the

transferee or assignee.

This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.
