    2.2.           Representations and Warranties.  To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Amendment, each of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative
      Agent and each of the Lenders that, as of the Effective Date and after giving effect to this Amendment:

    

    

    (a) This Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantor, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
      Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (1) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement
      of creditors’ rights and (2) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, constitutes the legal,
      valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (x) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability
      affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (y) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

    

    

    (b) Each of the representations and warranties set forth in this Amendment, the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document is true and correct in all material respects (other
      than any representation or warranty already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which is true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Effective Date or as to any such representations and warranties that refer to a specific
      date, as of such specific date.

    

    

    (c) No Default has occurred that is continuing under the Credit Agreement.

    

    

    2.3.           Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken
      together shall constitute a single contract. This Amendment constitutes the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
      relating to the subject matter

    

     

    

    
      
        

    

    hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telecopy or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

     

    

    2.4.           Payment of Expenses.  The Borrower agrees to pay and reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this
      Amendment, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of legal counsel to the Administrative Agent (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the allocated costs of internal counsel), in each case solely to the
      extent the Borrower is otherwise required to do so pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.

    

    

    2.5.            GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

    

    

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

    

    

    2.7.            Incorporation of Certain Provisions.  The provisions of Sections 9.01, 9.03, 9.07, 9.09, 9.12 and 9.13 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference mutatis mutandis as if fully set forth herein.

    

    

    2.8.           Effect of Amendment.  This Amendment is not intended by the parties to be, and shall not be construed to be, a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Security Agreement or
      any other Loan Document or an accord and satisfaction in regard thereto. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of
      the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantor under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and, except as expressly set forth herein, shall not alter, modify, amend or in any
      way affect any of the other terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and
      effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Person to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or
      any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. This Amendment shall apply and be effective only with respect to the provisions amended herein of the Existing Credit Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference
      in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of similar import shall mean and be a reference to the

    

     

    

    
      
        

    

    Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment and each reference in any other Loan Document shall mean the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document.

    

    

    2.9.           Consent and Affirmation.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, by its execution hereof, each of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantor hereby to the extent applicable as of the
      Effective Date (a) consents to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) agrees that the Guarantee and Security Agreement and each of the other Security Documents is in full force and effect, (c) confirms its guarantee (solely in
      the case of Subsidiary Guarantors) and affirms its obligations under the Loan Documents and confirms its grant of a security interest in its assets as Collateral for the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement), and
      (d) acknowledges and affirms that such guarantee and/or grant, as applicable, is in full force and effect in respect of, and to secure, the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement).

    

    

    2.10.         Release.  Each of the Borrower and the other Obligors hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (a) neither it nor any of its Affiliates has any claim or cause of action against the Administrative
      Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants or agents) under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and each other document entered into in
      connection therewith) in connection with the subject matter of this Amendment, and (b) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender has heretofore properly performed and satisfied in a timely manner all of its obligations to the
      Obligors and their Affiliates under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and each other document entered into in connection therewith) that are required to have been performed on or prior to the date hereof in connection with the
      subject matter of this Amendment.  Accordingly, for and in consideration of the agreements contained in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, each of the Borrower and the other Obligors (for itself and its Affiliates and the
      successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Releasors”) does hereby fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably release and forever discharge the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
      each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all debts, claims, obligations, damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, suits,
      demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in equity, under contract, tort, statute or
      otherwise, which any Releasor has heretofore had or now or hereafter can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be done on or prior to the date hereof directly arising out
      of, connected with or related to in connection with the subject matter of this Amendment, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, or the agreements of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender contained
      herein.

     

      2.11.          Effective Date Adjustments.  (a) On April 14, 2020, (A) with respect to Existing Loans denominated in Dollars, (i) the Borrower shall prepay such Existing Loans (if any) in full, including all accrued but unpaid interest
      relating to such Existing Loans as of such date (calculated at the rate set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement and as if this Amendment had not yet been given effect) and (ii) the Borrower shall
      simultaneously borrow new Loans

     

    

    
      
        

    

    denominated in Dollars under the Credit Agreement in an amount equal to such prepayment (plus the amount of any additional borrowings that may have been requested by the Borrower at such time); provided that with
      respect to subclauses (i) and (ii), (x) the prepayment to, and borrowing from, any Existing Lender may be effected by book entry to the extent that any portion of the amount prepaid to such Existing Lender will be subsequently borrowed from such
      Existing Lender and (y) the Lenders shall make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans denominated in Dollars are held ratably by the Lenders in
      accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lenders (as set forth in Schedule 1.01(b) immediately after giving effect to this Amendment), (B) with respect to Existing Loans denominated in any Agreed Foreign Currency, the Multicurrency
      Lenders shall make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans denominated in each Agreed Foreign Currency are held ratably by the Multicurrency Lenders in
      accordance with the respective Commitments of such Multicurrency Lenders (as set forth in Schedule 1.01(b) immediately after giving effect to this Amendment), and (C) the Borrower shall pay (i) all accrued but unpaid commitment fees relating
      to the Loans as of such date (calculated at the rate set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement and as if this Amendment had not yet been given effect), and (ii) in full to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (I) all accrued but unpaid fees (including all accrued but unpaid Facility Fees (as defined in the Lender Letter (as
        defined in the Existing Credit Agreement)) relating to the Loans as of April 14, 2020 (in each case, calculated at the rate set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement and as if this Amendment had not yet
        been given effect) and (II) to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 2.1(h) of this Amendment or Section 2.09 or Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement, all fees, expenses (including reasonable legal fees to the
      extent invoiced) and interest owing related to this Amendment and the Credit Agreement owing on or prior to April 14, 2020 (in each case, calculated at the rate set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement and
      as if this Amendment had not yet been given effect), and (b) pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth therein, pay to the Existing Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.13 of the
      Existing Credit Agreement as a result of such prepayment. Each of the Existing Lenders hereby consents to the non-pro rata payments described in this Section 2.11 and confirms receipt of sufficient notice of borrowing and prepayment pursuant
      to Sections 2.03(a) and 2.08(f) under the Credit Agreement.

          Agreement so as to equitably reflect such change to comply with GAAP with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower's financial condition shall be the same after such change to comply with GAAP as if such change had not
          been made; provided, however,  until such amendments to equitably reflect such changes are effective and agreed to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, the Borrower’s compliance with such financial
          covenants shall be determined on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change in GAAP becomes effective.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower covenants and agrees with the
          Lenders that whether or not the Borrower may at any time adopt Financial Accounting Standard No. 159 (or successor standard solely as it relates to fair value liabilities) or Accounting Standard Codification 825, all determinations relating to
          fair value accounting for liabilities or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be made on the basis that the Borrower has not adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 159 (or successor standard solely as it relates to
          fair value liabilities) or Accounting Standard Codification 825.  In addition, notwithstanding Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, GAAP or any other matter, for purposes of calculating any financial or
          other covenants hereunder, debt issuance costs shall not be deducted from the related debt obligation.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, solely with respect to any change in GAAP after the Restatement Effective DateDecember 15, 2018 with respect to the
          accounting for leases as either operating leases or capital leases, any lease that is not (or would not be) a capital lease under GAAP as in effect on the Restatement
              Effective DateDecember 15, 2018 shall not be treated as a capital lease, and any lease that would be treated as
          a capital lease under GAAP as in effect on the Restatement Effective DateDecember 15, 2018 shall continue to be treated as a capital lease, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding such change in GAAP after the Restatement Effective DateDecember 15, 2018, and all determinations of
          Capital Lease Obligations shall be made consistently therewith (i.e., ignoring any such changes in GAAP after the Restatement Effective DateDecember 15, 2018).

        

        

        SECTION 1.05.   Interest Rates.  The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission
          or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate therefor.

        

        SECTION 1.06.   Issuers.  For all purposes of this Agreement, all issuers of Eligible Portfolio Investments that are Affiliates of one another shall be treated as a single issuer, unless
          such issuers are Affiliates of one another solely because they are under the common Control of the same private equity sponsor or similar sponsor.

        

        

        SECTION 1.07.   Currencies Generally.  At any time, any reference in the definition of the term “Agreed Foreign Currency” or in any other provision of this Agreement to the Currency of
          any particular nation means the lawful currency of such nation at such time whether or not the name of such Currency is the same as it was on the Original Effective Date.

         

        

        
          43

          
            

        

        Except as provided in Section 2.08(b) and the last sentence of Section 2.15(a), for purposes of determining (i) whether the amount of any Borrowing under the Multicurrency Commitments, together with
          all other Borrowings under the Multicurrency Commitments then outstanding or to be borrowed at the same time as such Borrowing, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Commitments, (ii) the aggregate unutilized amount of the
          Multicurrency Commitments, (iii) the Revolving Credit Exposure, (iv) the Covered Debt Amount and (v) the Borrowing Base or the Value or the fair market value of any Portfolio Investment, the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing that is
          denominated in any Foreign Currency or the Value or the fair market value of any Portfolio Investment that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the Foreign Currency of such Borrowing
          or Portfolio Investment, as the case may be, determined as of the date of such Borrowing (determined in accordance with the last sentence of the definition of the term “Interest Period”) or the date of valuation of such Portfolio Investment, as
          the case may be; provided that in connection with the delivery of any Borrowing Base Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(f) or (g), such amounts shall be determined as of the date of the delivery of such Borrowing Base
          Certificate.  Where any amount is denominated in Dollars under this Agreement but requires for its determination an amount which is denominated in a Foreign Currency, such amounts shall be converted to the Foreign Currency Equivalent on the date
          of determination.  Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing or Loan an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Borrowing or Loan is denominated in a Foreign Currency, such amount
          shall be the relevant Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest 1,000 units of such Foreign Currency).

        

        

        SECTION 1.08.  Special Provisions Relating to Euro.  Each obligation hereunder of any party hereto that is denominated in the National Currency of a state that is not a Participating
          Member State on the Original Effective Date shall, effective from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State, be redenominated in Euro in accordance with the legislation of the European Union applicable to the European
          Monetary Union; provided that, if and to the extent that any such legislation provides that any such obligation of any such party payable within such Participating Member State by crediting an account of the creditor can be paid by the
          debtor either in Euros or such National Currency, such party shall be entitled to pay or repay such amount either in Euros or in such National Currency.  If the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in this Agreement with respect to an
          Agreed Foreign Currency of any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the date on which such currency becomes an Agreed Foreign Currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the interbank market for the basis
          of accrual of interest or fees in respect of the Euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State; provided that, with respect
          to any Borrowing denominated in such currency that is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect at the end of the Interest Period therefor.

        

        Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrower under or pursuant to this Agreement, each provision of this Agreement shall be
          subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time, in consultation with the Borrower, reasonably specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction or changeover to the Euro in
          any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the Original Effective Date; provided that the

          

        

        
          44

          
            

        

        Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower and the Lenders with prior notice of the proposed change with an explanation of such change in sufficient time to permit the Borrower and the Lenders an opportunity
          to respond to such proposed change.

        

        

        ARTICLE II

        

        

        THE CREDITS

        

        

        SECTION 2.01.   The Commitments.

        

        

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

        

        

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

        

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

        

        

        SECTION 2.02.   Loans and Borrowings.

        

        

        (a)       Obligations of Lenders.  Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class (other than with respect to any Loan requested pursuant to Section 2.18), Currency and Type made by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the
          applicable Class.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be
          responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

        

        

        (b)      Type of Loans.  Subject to Section 2.11, each Borrowing of a Class shall be constituted entirely of ABR Loans or of Eurocurrency Loans of such Class denominated in a
          single Currency as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith.  Each Pro-Rata Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be constituted entirely of ABR Loans or of Eurocurrency Loans.  Each Borrowing denominated in an Agreed Foreign Currency
          shall be constituted entirely of Eurocurrency Loans.  Each Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any

         

        

        
          45

          
            

        

        exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

        

        

        (c)       Minimum Amounts.  Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, with respect to any Agreed Foreign Currency,
          1,000,000 in the units of such Agreed Foreign Currency or a whole multiple of 100,000 in excess thereof (or such smaller minimum amount as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent); provided that a Borrowing of a Class may be in an
          aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments of such Class.  Borrowings of more than one Class, Currency and Type may be outstanding at the same time.

        

        

        (d)       Limitations on Interest Periods.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Eurocurrency Borrowing (or to elect to
          convert to or continue as a Eurocurrency Borrowing) if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the Extended
          Maturity Date.; provided that any request (or
              election to convert or continue as a Eurocurrency Borrowing) that would extend past the Non-Extended Maturity Date may only be made with respect to the portion of the Eurocurrency Borrowing held by the Extending Lenders.

        

        (e)       Restatement Effective Date Adjustments.  On the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower shall (A) prepay the Existing Loans (if any) in
            full, including (i) all accrued but unpaid commitment fees (including all accrued but unpaid Facility Fees (as defined in the Lender Letter (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement)) relating to such Existing Loans as of such date and (ii)
            all accrued but unpaid interest relating to such Existing Loans as of such date (in each case, calculated at the rate set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement) and (B) simultaneously borrow new Loans hereunder in an amount equal to such
            prepayment (plus the amount of any additional borrowings that may have been requested by the Borrower at such time); provided that with respect to subclauses (A) and (B), (x) the prepayment to, and borrowing from, any
            Existing Lender may be effected by book entry to the extent that any portion of the amount prepaid to such Existing Lender will be subsequently borrowed in the currency of such Existing Loan from such Existing Lender and (y) the Lenders shall
            make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans are held ratably by the Lenders in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lenders (as
            set forth in Schedule 1.01(b)) and (C) pay to the Existing Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section

              2.14 of the Existing Credit Agreement as a result of such prepayment.  Each of the Existing Lenders agrees to waive payment of the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.13 as a result of, and solely in connection with, any such prepayment, and hereby consents to any non-pro rata payment described in this Section 2.02(e).

        

        

        SECTION 2.03.   Requests for Borrowings.

        

        

        (a)      Notice by the Borrower.  To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by delivery of a signed Borrowing Request or by telephone or
          e-mail (in each case, followed promptly by delivery (including by e-mail) of a signed Borrowing Request) (i) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days
          before the date of the

         

        

        
          46

          
            

        

        proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in an Agreed Foreign Currency (other than AUD or NZD), not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before
          the date of the proposed Borrowing, (iii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that, in the event that the amount of any such ABR
          Borrowing does not exceed the Same Day Cap, the Borrower may request such ABR Borrowing not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing or (iv) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in AUD
          or NZD, not later than 11:00 a.m., London time, four (4) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing.  Each such request for a Borrowing shall be irrevocable.  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, in the case of any
          Borrowing denominated in Dollars, the Borrower may request that such Borrowing be split into a Dollar Loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Pro-Rata Dollar Portion and a Multicurrency Loan in an aggregate amount equal to the Pro-Rata
          Multicurrency Portion (any such Borrowing, a “Pro-Rata Borrowing”).  Except as set forth in this Agreement, a Pro-Rata Borrowing shall be treated as being comprised of two separate Borrowings, a Dollar Borrowing under the Dollar
          Commitments and a Multicurrency Borrowing under the Multicurrency Commitments.

        

        

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

        

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

        

        

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

        

        

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

        

        

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

        

        

        (v)       in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;

        

        

        (vi)      in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and
          permitted under Section 2.02(d); and

        

        

        (vii)     the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.04.

        

        

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

        

        

        
          47

          
            

        

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

        

        

        SECTION 2.04.   Funding of Borrowings.

        

        

        (a)       Funding by Lenders.  Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Local
          Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in
          like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.

        

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

        

        

        
          48

          
            

        

        SECTION 2.05.  Interest Elections.

        

        

        (a)       Elections by the Borrower for Borrowings.  Subject to Section 2.03(d), the Loans constituting each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
          Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request.  Thereafter, subject to Section 2.05(e), the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing
          of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section; provided, however, that (i) a
          Borrowing of a Class may only be continued or converted into a Borrowing of the same Class, (ii) a Borrowing denominated in one Currency may not be continued as, or converted to, a Borrowing in a different Currency, (iii) no Eurocurrency
          Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency may be continued if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposures would exceed the aggregate Multicurrency Commitments and such Borrowing shall be prepaid pursuant
          to any of the first three sentences of Section 2.08(c) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 2.05(e), such Borrowing shall, for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, be deemed to be a Eurocurrency
          Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month until such prepayment has been made (together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.10(c)), and (iv) a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency may not be converted
          into a Borrowing of a different Type.  The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders of the respective Class
          holding the Loans constituting such Borrowing (except as provided under Section 2.11(b)) in accordance with their Applicable
              Percentage, and the Loans constituting each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

        

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

        

        

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

        

        

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

        

        

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

        

        

        
          49

          
            

        

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

        

        

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

        

        

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

        

        

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

        

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

        

        

        (a)     Scheduled Termination.  Unless previously terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (x) on the Extended Revolver Termination Date for each Extending Lender with respect to such Extending Lender’s Extended Loans and (y) on the Non-Extended Revolver Termination Date with respect to each Non-Extending
              Lender’s Non-Extended Loans, the Commitments of each Class shall automatically be reduced to an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Loans of all Lenders of such Class outstanding on the Extended Revolver Termination Date or the Non-Extended
              Revolver Termination Date, as applicable with respect to the relevant Lender, and thereafter to an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding after giving effect to each payment of principal hereunder;
          provided that, for clarity, no Lender shall have any obligation to make new Loans on or after the Extended Revolver Termination Date
              or the Non-Extended Revolver Termination Date, as applicable to such Lender, and any outstanding amounts shall be
          due and payable on the Extended Maturity Date or Non-Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.07.

        

        

        (b)      Voluntary Termination or Reduction.  The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments ratably among each Class; provided

         

          

        
          50

          
            

        

        that (i) each reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be in an amount that is $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or an amount less than $5,000,000 if
          the Commitments of any Class are being reduced to zero) and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans of any Class in accordance with Section 2.08,
          the total Revolving Credit Exposures of such Class would exceed the total Commitments of such Class.

        

        

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

        

        

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

        

        (e)       Increase of the Commitments.

        

        

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

        

        

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

        

        

        
          51

          
            

        

        (B)      immediately after giving effect to such Commitment Increase
              (including, if applicable, the substantially concurrent reduction of the Commitments of a Non-Extending Lender in accordance with Section 2.06(f)), the total Commitments of all of the Lenders hereunder shall not exceed the lesser
          of (x) $300,000,000 and (y) 100% of the Obligors’ Net Worth at such time;

        

        

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

        

        

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

        

        

        (E) no Non-Extending Lender may participate in any Commitment Increase under the
            Commitments of the same Class unless in connection therewith, it shall have agreed to become an “Extending Lender” hereunder; and

        

        

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

        

        For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall be obligated to agree to an additional Commitment requested by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06(e).

        

        

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

        

        

        (x)      the Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date (or on or prior to a time on an earlier
          date specified by the Administrative Agent) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower stating that each of the applicable conditions to such Commitment Increase set forth in the foregoing paragraph (i) has been satisfied; and

        

        

        (y)      each Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Commitment Increase
          Date (or on or prior to a time on an earlier date

         

        

        
          52

          
            

        

        specified by the Administrative Agent), an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which such Lender shall, effective as of such
          Commitment Increase Date, undertake a Commitment or an increase of Commitment in each case of the respective Class, as applicable, duly executed by such Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender, as applicable, and the Borrower and acknowledged by the
          Administrative Agent.

        

        

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

        

        

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

        

        (iv)      Adjustments of Borrowings upon Effectiveness of Increase.  On each Commitment Increase Date, the Borrower shall (A) prepay the outstanding Loans (if any and, on and after the Non-Extended Revolver Termination Date, other than the Non-Extended Loans) of such Class in full, (B)
          simultaneously borrow new Loans of such Class hereunder in an amount equal to such prepayment; provided that with respect to subclauses (A) and (B), (x) the prepayment to, and Borrowing from, any existing Lender shall be effected by book
          entry to the extent that any portion of the amount prepaid to such Lender will be subsequently borrowed from such Lender and, (y) the existing Lenders, the Increasing Lenders and the Assuming Lenders shall make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the
          Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans of such Class are held ratably by the Lenders of such Class in accordance with the respective CommitmentsApplicable Percentage of such Lenders of such Class (after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) and (z) on and after the Non-Extended Revolver Termination Date, no Non-Extending Lender shall participate in such prepayment and/or Borrowing and (C) pay to the Lenders
          of such Class the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.13 as a result of any such prepayment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Borrower, no Commitment Increase Date shall occur on any day
          other than the last day of an Interest Period.  The Administrative Agent shall amend Schedule 1.01(b) to reflect the aggregate amount of each Lender’s Commitments (including Increasing Lenders and Assuming Lenders). Each reference to Schedule

            1.01(b) in this Agreement shall be to Schedule 1.01(b) as amended pursuant to this Section.

        

        

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

         

        

        
          53

          
            

        

        applicable Class issued by, and the Commitments of the applicable Class of, the Extending
          Lenders immediately prior to the applicable Commitment Increase Date.

        

        

        (f)       Reduction of Non-Extending Lenders’ Commitment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including Section 2.06(d)):

        

        

        (i)        The Borrower may at any time no Default or Event of Default exists in connection with any Commitment Increase under Section 2.06(e), terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of each
              Non-Extending Lender on a pro rata basis (by an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount of such Commitment Increase) without reducing the Commitments of any other Lender; provided that each reduction of the Commitment of a Non-Extending
              Lender hereunder shall be in an amount that is $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, in each case, the entire Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender).

        

        

        (ii)       The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitment of any Non-Extending Lender under this clause (f) at least three (3) Business Days prior to
              the related Commitment Increase Date in the case of any termination or reduction, specifying such election and the related Commitment Increase Date.  Such written notice may be combined with the Commitment Increase Notice.  Promptly following
              receipt of any written notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this clause (f) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination may state
              that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of the related Commitment Increase, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such
              condition is not satisfied.

        

        (iii)      Any termination or reduction of the Commitment of any Non-Extending Lender pursuant to this clause (f) shall be permanent.

        

        

        SECTION 2.07.   Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

        

        

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

        

        

        (b)      Manner of Payment.  Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall, subject to the requirements of Section 2.08, select the
          Borrowing or Borrowings to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or e-mail) of such selection not later than the time set forth in Section 2.08(f) prior to the scheduled date of such
          repayment.  If the repayment or prepayment is denominated in Dollars and the Class to be repaid or prepaid is specified (or if no Class is specified and there is only one Class of Loans with Borrowings in Dollars outstanding), the Borrower shall
          repay or prepay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of such Class pro rata and

         

        

        
          54

          
            

        

        thereafter repay or prepay the remaining Borrowings within such Class in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be
          repaid or prepaid first).  If the repayment or prepayment is denominated in Dollars and the Class to be repaid or prepaid is not specified (or the Pro-Rata Borrowings are specified), the Borrower shall repay or prepay ABR Borrowings that are
          Pro-Rata Borrowings, pro rata between any outstanding ABR Borrowings of the Dollar Lenders and the Multicurrency Lenders and thereafter repay or prepay the remaining Pro-Rata Borrowings in the order of the remaining duration of their respective
          Interest Periods (the Borrowings with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first).  If the repayment or prepayment is denominated in a particular Agreed Foreign Currency, the Borrower shall repay or prepay any remaining Borrowings
          in such Agreed Foreign Currency in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first).  Each payment of a Pro-Rata Borrowing shall be applied
          ratably between the Dollar Loans and Multicurrency Loans included in such Pro-Rata Borrowing.  Each payment of a Borrowing of a Class shall be applied ratably to the Loans of such Class included in such Borrowing (except as otherwise provided in
          Section 2.11(b)).

        

        

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

        

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

        

        

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

        

        

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

         

        

        
          55

          
            

        

        notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its permitted registered assigns).

        

        

        SECTION 2.08.   Prepayment of Loans.

        

        

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

        

        

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

        

        

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

        

        (ii)      Prepayment.  If on the date of such determination the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure exceeds 105% of the aggregate amount of the
          Multicurrency Commitments as then in effect, the Borrower shall prepay the Multicurrency Loans within 15 Business Days of such date of determination in such amounts as shall be necessary so that after giving effect thereto the aggregate Revolving
          Multicurrency Credit Exposure does not exceed the Multicurrency Commitments.

        

        

        For purposes hereof, “Currency Valuation Notice” means a notice given by the Required Multicurrency Lenders to the Administrative Agent stating that such notice is a “Currency Valuation Notice” and
          requesting that the Administrative Agent determine the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure.  The Administrative Agent shall not be required to make more than one valuation determination pursuant to Currency Valuation Notices within
          any rolling three-month period.

        

        

        (c)     Mandatory Prepayments due to Excess Revolving Credit Exposure and Borrowing Base Deficiency.  In the event that the amount of total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the total
          Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay (but subject to Sections 2.08(e) and (f)) Loans.  In the event that the amount of total Revolving Dollar Credit Exposure exceeds the total Dollar Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay (but
          subject to Sections 2.08(e) and (f))

         

        

        
          56

          
            

        

        Loans in such amounts as shall be necessary so that the amount of total Revolving Dollar Credit Exposure does not exceed the total Dollar Commitments.  In the event that the amount of total Revolving Multicurrency
          Credit Exposure exceeds the total Multicurrency Commitments (other than as a result of a change in exchange rates pursuant to Section 2.08(b)), the Borrower shall prepay (but subject to Sections 2.08(e) and (f)) Loans in
          such amounts as shall be necessary so that the amount of total Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure does not exceed the total Multicurrency Commitments.  In the event that at any time any Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist, promptly (but in
          no event later than five (5) Business Days), the Borrower shall prepay (subject to Sections 2.08(e) and (f)) the Loans so that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is promptly cured; provided that if within such five (5) Business
          Day period, the Borrower shall present to the Administrative Agent a reasonably feasible plan, which plan is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will enable any such Borrowing Base Deficiency to be cured within 30 Business
          Days of the occurrence of such Borrowing Base Deficiency (which 30-Business Day period shall include the five (5) Business Days permitted for delivery of such plan), then such prepayment or reduction shall be effected in accordance with such plan
          (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to the limitations as to the allocation of such prepayments set forth above in this Section 2.08(c)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay interest in accordance with Section
            2.10(c) for so long as the Covered Debt Amount exceeds the Borrowing Base during such 30-Business Day period. For clarity, in the event that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is not cured prior to the end of such five (5)-Business Day period
          (or, if applicable, such 30-Business Day period), it shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a).

        

        (d)       Mandatory Prepayments due to Certain Events Following Availability PeriodScheduled Payments.  Subject to the last paragraph of this Section

              2.08(d) and Sections 2.08(e) and (f):

        

        

        (i)       Asset Sales.

          the basis of a year of 365 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) and (c) the basis on which interest hereunder shall be computed on Eurocurrency
          Borrowings in an Agreed Foreign Currency other than Canadian

         

        

        
          62

          
            

        

        Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, AUD and NZD shall be agreed by each Multicurrency Lender and the Borrower at the time such Agreed Foreign Currency is consented to in accordance with the definition thereof.  The
          applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

        

        

        SECTION 2.11.  Eurocurrency Borrowing Provisions.

        

        

        (a)      Alternate Rate of Interest.  If prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing of a Class (the Currency of such Borrowing herein called the “Affected

            Currency”):

        

        

        (i)       the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
          the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period; or

        

        (ii)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of such Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period will not
          adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

        
          

          

          

        and, in each case, the provisions of Section 2.11(c) are not applicable, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof
          to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or e-mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist,
          (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Eurocurrency Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency, shall be ineffective and, if the Affected
          Currency is Dollars, such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, an ABR Borrowing and, if the Affected Currency is a Foreign Currency, such Borrowing shall be converted to Dollars based on the Dollar Equivalent at such
          time and shall be an ABR Borrowing, (ii) if the Affected Currency is Dollars and any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and (iii) if the Affected Currency
          is a Foreign Currency, any Borrowing Request that requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective.

        

        

        (b)     Illegality.  Without duplication of any other rights that any Lender has  hereunder, if any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority
          has asserted that it is unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has
          imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, any LIBO Quoted Currency in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower and the Administrative
          Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Borrowings or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency

         

        

        
          63

          
            

        

        Borrowings shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Eurocurrency Borrowings the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate
          component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Borrowings of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Alternate
          Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) (A) all Eurocurrency Borrowings denominated in Dollars of such Lender shall automatically convert to ABR Borrowings (and (B) all Eurocurrency Borrowings denominated in the Foreign Currency shall
              automatically convert to Dollars based on the Dollar Equivalent at such time and shall be an ABR Borrowing (in each case, the interest rate on which ABR Borrowings of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be
          determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate) either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings
          to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, the
          Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the LIBO Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender
          that it is no longer illegal  for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate.  Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted. To the extent any Eurocurrency Borrowing so converted is in an Agreed Foreign Currency, such Eurocurrency Borrowing shall

              be converted to Dollars based on the Dollar Equivalent of such Borrowing at the time of such conversion.

        

        (c)      Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

        

        

        (i)       Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the
              Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such mutually agreed amendment between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with respect to a Benchmark Transition
              Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not
              received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the
              Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the LIBOR Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) will occur prior to
              the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

        

        

        (ii)      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

         

            

        
          64

          
            

        

        and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such
              Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement (other than the Borrower, whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

        

        

        (iii)     Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in
              Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv)
              the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.11(c), including any determination with respect
              to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or
              their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.11(c).

        

        (iv)      Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing of, conversion
              to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, (x) solely in the case of any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
              Eurocurrency Loans to be made in Dollars, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans, (y) in the case of any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing of or
              conversion to Eurocurrency Loans to be made in any Foreign Currency based on the LIBO Rate, such request will be deemed to be ineffective and (z) in the case of any request for a continuation of Eurocurrency Loans to be made in any Foreign
              Currency based on the LIBO Rate, such Borrowing shall be converted to Dollars based
              on the Dollar Equivalent at such time and shall be an ABR Borrowing. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component
              of ABR based upon the LIBO Rate will not be used in any determination of ABR.

        

        

        SECTION 2.12.   Increased Costs.

        

        

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

        

        

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

        

        

        (ii)     subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than Covered Taxes and Taxes described in clauses (a)(ii), (c), (d) and (e) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”) on its

         

        

        
          65

          
            

        

        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 London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such
          Lender or participation therein;

        

        

        and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of
          any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, upon the request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
          such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

        

        

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

        

        (c)      Certificates from Lenders.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts, in Dollars, necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may
          be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be promptly delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten
          (10) days after receipt thereof.

        

        

        (d)     Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such
          compensation; provided that no Obligor shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that
          such Lender notifies the Borrower in writing of any such Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions.

        

        

        SECTION 2.13.   Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as
          a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any
          notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.08(f) and is revoked in accordance herewith), (d) the assignment as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section

            2.17(b) of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest

         

        

        
          66

          
            

        

        Period therefor or (e) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor as a result of the occurrence of a CAM Exchange, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall
          compensate each affected Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (excluding loss of anticipated profits).  In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to
          include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of:

        

        

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

         

          

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

        

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

        

        

        SECTION 2.14.   Taxes.

        

        

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

        

        

        
          67

          
            

        

        (b)      Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

        

        

        (c)      Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for and, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, pay
          the full amount of any Covered Taxes (including Covered Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any
          penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Covered 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 the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

        

        (d)     Indemnification by the Lenders.  To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any
          applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.14(a) or (c), each Lender shall, and does hereby, agree severally to indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 10
          days after demand therefor, (i) against any and all Covered Taxes attributable to such Lender and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent)
          in each case attributable to such Lender (collectively, “Tax Damages”) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to
          properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a
          change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective) (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and Tax Damages and without
          limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.14(c)) and (ii) Tax Damages attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04 relating to the
          maintenance of a Participant Register. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative
          Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall
          survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations.

        

        

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

        

        

        
          68

          
            

        

        (f)      Status of Lenders.

        

        

        (i)      Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall
          deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by
          applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the
          Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such
          Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation
          set forth in Section 2.14(f)(ii)(A) or (B) or Section 2.14(g) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material
          unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

        

        (ii)      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

        

        

        (A)      any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the
            Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed
            originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

        

        

        (B)      each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the
          date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but, in any event, only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled
          to do so) whichever of the following is applicable:

        

        

        	

              	(1)	
                in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party duly completed executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or any successor form
                  establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other
                  applicable payments

                

              

        

        

        
          69

          
            

        

         under any Loan Document, pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty,

         

        

        	

              	(2)	
                duly completed executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor form certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States,

              

        

        

        	

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

              

         

        

        	

              	(4)	
                any other form as prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by
                  applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, including, to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, duly completed executed originals of
                  IRS Form W-8IMY accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a certificate substantially similar to the certificate described in Section 2.14(f)(ii)(B)(3)(x) above, IRS Form W-9 and/or other
                  certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable.

              

        

        

        (C)     any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be
          requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals
          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

         

        

        
          70

          
            

        

        applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

        

        

        (g)     If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting
          requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as
          prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the
          Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to
          determine the amount to deduct and withhold from any such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Original Effective Date.

        

        

        Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered under this Agreement expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly
          notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

        

        (h)     Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as
          to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
          indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may
          be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid
          over to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or any Lender is
          required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this
          paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net position after-Taxes than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving
          rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph (h) shall not be construed to require the Administrative
          Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns or its books or records (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

        

        

        
          71

          
            

        

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

        

        

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

        

        

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

        

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

        

        

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

         

        

        
          72

          
            

        

        (c)     Pro Rata Treatment.  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) (x)

              other than with respect to any Borrowing requested pursuant to Section 2.18(a), each Borrowing of a Class shall be made from the Lenders of such Class, (y) other than the payment of a commitment fee to a Non-Extending Lender on the Non-Extending Revolver Termination Date, each payment of a commitment fee under Section 2.09 shall be made for the account of the Lenders of the applicable Class, and (z) other than with respect to any termination or reduction of Commitments in accordance with Section 2.06(f), each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a Class under Section

            2.06, Section 2.08 or otherwise shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders of such Class, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) other than with respect to any Borrowing requested pursuant to Section 2.18(a), each Borrowing of a Class shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders of such Class
          according to the amounts of their respective CommitmentsApplicable Percentage of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) other than in connection with a termination or reduction of Commitments in accordance with Section 2.06(f), the payment of a Non-Extending
              Lender’s Non-Extending Loans on the Non-Extending Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.07(a), a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.08(d), or the payment of a Non-Extending Lender’s Non-Extending Loans pursuant to Section 2.18,
          each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans of a Class by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders of such Class pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them
          (and, with respect to the pro rata treatment of prepayments between Classes, any such prepayments shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the last paragraph of
            Section 2.08(d) and Sections 2.08(e) and (f)); and (iv) other than the payment of interest to a Non-Extending Lender on its applicable Non-Extending Maturity Date, each payment of interest on Loans by the Borrower shall
          be made for the account of the Lenders of such Class pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders (which may, for the avoidance of doubt, be different amounts and percentages as between the Non-Extending Lenders and the Extending Lenders); provided, however, that,
          notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Borrower wishes to make a Multicurrency Borrowing in an Agreed Foreign Currency and the Multicurrency Commitments are fully utilized, the Borrower may make a
          Borrowing under the Dollar Commitments (if otherwise permitted hereunder) and may use the proceeds of such Borrowing to prepay the Multicurrency Loans (without making a ratable prepayment to the Dollar Loans) solely to the extent that the
          Borrower concurrently utilizes any Multicurrency Commitments made available as a result of such prepayment to make a Multicurrency Borrowing in an Agreed Foreign Currency.  Each Borrowing requested pursuant to Section 2.18(a) shall be made from each Extending Lender on a pro rata basis according to the amounts of their respective Commitments.  Any termination or reduction of
              Commitments in accordance with Section 2.06(f) (including any payment or prepayment of principal of Loans in connection therewith), shall be applied to each Non-Extending Lender on a pro rata basis according to the amounts of its Commitments
              or Loans, as applicable, any payment of Non-Extending Loans on the Non-Extending Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.07(a) shall be made for the account of each Non-Extending Lender pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal
              amounts of the Non-Extending Loans held by it, and any mandatory prepayment of Non-Extending Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(d) shall be made for the account of each Non-Extending Lender pro rata

         

            

        
          73

          
            

        

        in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Non-Extending Loans held by it.  For the avoidance of doubt, no payments
              shall be allocated solely to Non-Extending Lenders following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default.

        

        

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

        

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

        

        

        (f)      Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent.  If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(a) or (b) or Section

            2.15(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the

         

        

        
          74

          
            

        

        account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

        

        

        SECTION 2.16.    Defaulting Lenders.

        

        

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

        

        

        (a)      commitment fees pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender to the extent, and during the period, such
          Lender is a Defaulting Lender; and

        

        

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

        

        

        In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower each agrees in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender,
          then, on the date of such agreement, such Lender shall purchase at par the portion of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its
          Applicable Percentage.

        

        SECTION 2.17.    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

        

        

        (a)      Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender exercises its rights under Section 2.11(b) or requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the
          Borrower is required to pay any Covered Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (subject to overall
          policy considerations of such Lender) 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 sole
          reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the circumstance giving rise to
          such Lender exercising its rights under Section 2.11(b) and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any cost or expense not required to be reimbursed by the Borrower and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower
          hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

        

        

        
          75

          
            

        

        (b)      Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender exercises its rights under Section 2.11(b) or requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is
          required to pay any Covered Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different
          lending office in accordance with Section 2.17(a), or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
          Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
          other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the
          Administrative Agent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
          all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting
          from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.  A Lender shall not be required to make any
          such assignment and delegation if prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

        

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

        

        

        SECTION 2.18.    Reallocations Related to Non-Extending Lender Commitment Reductions.

        

        

        (a)     Reallocation of Participations and Loans.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with the reduction or termination of the Non-Extending Lender(s)’ Commitments in accordance with Section 2.06(f) on any date
              prior to the Non-Extended Revolver Termination Date, the Borrower shall be permitted to request, and each Extending Lender agrees to provide, one or more Dollar Loans be made ratably among the Extending Lenders in accordance with the
              provisions of Sections 2.02, 2.03 and 2.15(c) in an amount up to the amount by which such Non-Extending Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed such Non-Extending Lender’s Commitments after giving effect to such Commitment reduction,
              in each case, so long as (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied (and, unless Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that
              such conditions are

         

            

        
          76

          
            

        

        satisfied at such time), (y) such Borrowing does not cause (I) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Extending Lender to exceed
              such Extending Lender’s Commitment, (II) the aggregate Revolving Dollar Credit Exposure of all of the Dollar Lenders with Dollar Commitments then in effect to exceed the aggregate Dollar Commitments at such time or (III) the aggregate
              Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure of all of the Multicurrency Lenders with Multicurrency Commitments then in effect to exceed the aggregate Multicurrency Commitments at such time and (z) the proceeds of any such Loan are applied solely
              to reduce the Revolving Credit Exposure of the applicable Non-Extending Lender or Non-Extending Lenders, as applicable.

        

        

        (b)      Prepayments. If any Loan related to the reduction or termination of a Non-Extending Lender’s Commitment prior to the Non-Extended Revolver Termination Date described in clause (a) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the
              Borrower shall, not later than the date of such Commitment reduction or termination, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, prepay any Loans of such Non-Extending Lender(s) in an amount equal to the
              amount by which the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Non-Extending Lender after giving effect to any prepayment described in clause (a)(z) above exceeds such Non-Extending Lender’s Commitment after giving effect to any reduction in such
              Non-Extending Lender’s Commitment, as applicable.

        

        ARTICLE III

        

        

        REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where the failure to do
          so could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  There is no existing default under any charter, by-laws or other Organization Documents of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any event which, with the giving of notice or
          passage of time or both, would constitute a default by any party thereunder.

        

        

        SECTION 3.02.    Authorization; Enforceability.  The Transactions are within the Borrower’s limited liability company powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary limited
          liability company or other organizational action and the Board of Directors of the Parent (acting for the Borrower and the Borrower’s Subsidiaries) has approved the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.  This Agreement has been duly
          executed and delivered by the Borrower and each of the other Loan Documents to which any Obligor is a party have been or will be duly executed and delivered by each such Obligor.  This Agreement constitutes, and each of the other Loan Documents
          to which any Obligor is a party, when executed and delivered, will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the applicable Obligor or Obligors, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
          (a) bankruptcy,

        

         

        

        
          77

          
            

        

        
          
          
            insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (b) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
              enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

             

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

             

            SECTION 3.04.   Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Effect.

             

            (a)       Financial Statements.

             

            (i)       The financial statements delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(i) of the Existing Credit
              Agreement present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities, consolidated schedule of investments, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of changes in net assets and
              consolidated statements of cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the end of and for the applicable period in accordance with GAAP.  The financial statements delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by

              unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments not reflected in the financial statements referred to above.

             

            (ii)      The financial statements delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) and (c) present
              fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities, consolidated schedule of investments, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of changes in net assets and consolidated statements
              of cash flows of the Borrower and

              the absence of footnotes.  The financial statements delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 5.01(b) and (d) present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
              statements of assets and liabilities, consolidated schedule of investments, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of changes in net assets and consolidated statements of cash flows of the Parent and its consolidated
              Subsidiaries as of the end of and for the applicable period in accordance with GAAP, subject, in the case of unaudited financial statements, to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes.  None of the Parent, the Borrower or any
              of their respective Subsidiaries has any material contingent liabilities, material liabilities for taxes, material unusual forward or material long-term commitments or material unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments
              not reflected in such financial statements.

             

            (b)       No Material Adverse Effect.  Since December 31, 2016, there has not been any event, development or circumstance that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a
              Material Adverse Effect.

             

            SECTION 3.05.  Litigation.  There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority now pending against or, to the knowledge
              of any Tennenbaum Party, threatened against or affecting the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries (a) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could
              reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (b) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.

             

            SECTION 3.06.   Compliance with Laws and Agreements.  Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority
              applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a
              Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any contract or other arrangement, the performance of which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Borrower
              nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in any manner under any provision of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is or may be bound, and no condition exists which, with the giving of
              notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default, in each case where such default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with its
              respective Organization Documents in all material respects.

             

            SECTION 3.07.   Taxes.  Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or has caused to be timely filed all U.S. federal, state and material local Tax returns that are
              required to be filed by it and all other material Tax returns that are required to be filed by it and has paid all Taxes for which it is directly or indirectly liable and any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other
              Taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority, except such Taxes, fees or other charges that are being

             

            
              79

              
                

            

            contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be.  The
              charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries in respect of Taxes and other governmental charges are adequate in accordance with GAAP.  Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has given or
              been requested to give a waiver of the statute of limitations relating to the payment of any federal, state, local and foreign Taxes or other impositions, and no Tax lien has been filed with respect to the Borrower or any of its
              Subsidiaries.  There is no proposed Tax assessment against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and there is no basis for such assessment.  The Borrower is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and has been treated
              as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes for each taxable year since its formation.

             

            SECTION 3.08.   ERISA.

             

            (a)      Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects in form and operation with its terms and with ERISA and the Code (including, without limitation, the Code provisions compliance
              with which is necessary for any intended favorable tax treatment) and all other applicable laws and regulations.  Each Plan (and each related trust, if any) that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a
              favorable determination letter from the IRS to the effect that it meets the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code covering all applicable tax law changes or is comprised of a master and prototype plan that has received a
              favorable opinion letter from the IRS, and nothing has occurred since the date of such determination that would adversely affect such determination (or, in the case of a Plan with no determination, nothing has occurred that would materially
              adversely affect the issuance of a favorable determination letter or otherwise materially adversely affect such qualification).  No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, alone or together with any other ERISA
              Events that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount exceeding $5,000,000.

             

            (b)       With respect to Pension Plans, there exists no Unfunded Pension Liability in the aggregate (taking into account only such Pension Plans with positive Unfunded Pension Liability) in
              excess of $2,500,000.

             

            (c)       Schedule 3.08(c) discloses all Unfunded Pension Liabilities with respect to Pension Plans.

             

            (d)       None of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate is making or accruing an obligation to make contributions, or has within any of the five (5) calendar years immediately
              preceding the date this assurance is given or deemed given, made or accrued an obligation to make contributions to any Multiemployer Plan.  To the extent that one or more Multiemployer Plans exist, no Multiemployer Plan is insolvent or in
              reorganization.  None of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan, and, if each of the Borrower, any Subsidiary and each ERISA Affiliate were to withdraw
              from all Multiemployer Plans in a complete withdrawal as of the date

             

            
              80

              
                

            

            this assurance is given or deemed given, the aggregate Withdrawal Liability that would be incurred would not be in excess of $2,500,000.

             

            (e)      There are no actions, suits or claims pending against or involving a Plan (other than routine individual claims for benefits) or, to the knowledge of any Tennenbaum Party or any
              ERISA Affiliate, threatened, that would reasonably be expected to be asserted successfully against any Plan and, if so asserted successfully, would reasonably be expected either singly or in the aggregate to result in material liability.

             

            (f)     The Borrower, any Subsidiary and any ERISA Affiliate have made all material contributions to or under each Pension Plan and Multiemployer Plan required by law within the applicable
              time limits prescribed thereby, the terms of such Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan, respectively, or any contract or agreement requiring contributions to a Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan save where any failure to comply, individually or
              in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in material liability.

             

            (g)       No Plan that is subject to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA has applied for or received an extension of any amortization period, within the meaning of Section 412 of
              the Code or Section 303 or 304 of ERISA. The Borrower, any Subsidiary and any ERISA Affiliate have not ceased operations at a facility so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4068(a) of ERISA, withdrawn as a substantial employer
              so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4063 of ERISA or ceased making contributions to any Pension Plan subject to Section 4064(a) of ERISA to which it made contributions.  None of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA
              Affiliate have incurred or reasonably expect to incur any liability to the PBGC save for any liability for premiums due in the ordinary course or other liability that would not reasonably be expected to result in material liability, and no
              lien imposed under the Code or ERISA on the assets of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate exists or is likely to arise on account of any Pension Plan. None of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has any
              liability under Section 4069 or Section 4212(c) of ERISA.

             

            SECTION 3.09.   Disclosure.

             

            (a)      All written information (other than financial projections, pro forma financial information, other forward-looking information and information of a
                general economic or general industry nature) which has been made available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the Advisor, the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parent’s or the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or representatives, in
                connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or delivered under any Loan Document, taken as a whole, is and will be (after giving effect to all written updates provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for
                delivery to the Lenders from time to time) complete, true and correct in all material respects and does not and will not (after giving effect to all written updates provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the
                Lenders from time to time) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, taken as a whole, not misleading in the light of the circumstances
                under which such statements were (or hereafter are) made; and

             

            
              81

              
                

            

            (b)      All financial projections, pro forma financial information and other forward-looking information which has been delivered to the Administrative
                Agent or any Lender by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or representatives, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or delivered under any Loan Document, are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions
                believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized that (i) such projections, financial information and other forward-looking information as they relate to future events are subject to significant uncertainty
                and contingencies (many of which are beyond the control of the Borrower) and therefore are not to be viewed as fact and (ii) actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections, financial information and other
                forward-looking information may materially differ from the projected results set forth therein.

             

            SECTION 3.10.   Investment Company Act; Margin Regulations.

             

            (a)       Status as Business Development Company.  The Parent has elected to be regulated as a “business development company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.  The
              Parent qualifies as a RIC and has qualified as a RIC at all times since its taxable year ended December 31, 2012.

             

            (b)      Compliance with Investment Company Act.  The business and other activities of the Parent, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries
                (including, without limitation, entering into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which each is a party, the borrowing of the Loans hereunder, the application of the proceeds and repayment thereof by the Borrower and the
                consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents)  do not result in a violation or breach of the provisions of the Investment Company Act or any rules, regulations or orders issued by the SEC thereunder.

             

            (c)       Investment Policies.  The Borrower is in compliance in all material respects with the Investment Policies, as amended by Permitted Policy Amendments.

             

            (d)       Use of Credit.  Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the
              purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying Margin Stock, and no part of the proceeds of any extension of credit hereunder will be used to buy or carry any Margin Stock. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
              Subsidiaries own or intend to carry or purchase any Margin Stock or to extend “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U.

              Date is correctly described in Schedule 3.11(b).

             

            SECTION 3.12.   Subsidiaries and Investments.

              except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes.

             

            (b)      Intellectual Property.  Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property
              material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be

              during normal business hours and as often as reasonably requested; provided that the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall be entitled to have its representatives and advisors present during any inspection of its books and records; provided further,
              that the Borrower shall not be required to pay for more than one (1) such visit and inspection in any calendar year unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of any subsequent visit and inspection during such

              of any Agency Accounts,

             

            
              96

              representatives retained by the Administrative Agent to conduct any such evaluation or appraisal; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses for more than one such evaluation or appraisal during any

              and/or the assets included in the Borrowing Base, to the extent required by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders as a result of any such evaluation or appraisal finding that such computation or inclusion of assets is not
              consistent with the terms of this Agreement, provided that if the Borrower demonstrates that such evaluation or appraisal is incorrect, the Borrower shall be permitted to re-adjust its computation of the Borrowing Base.

             

            (c)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5.06 shall impair or affect the rights of the Administrative Agent under Section 5.12(b)(ii) in any

              Company Act (if applicable to such Person), and orders of any Governmental Authority (including orders issued by the SEC) applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments, except where the failure to do
              so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Policies and procedures will be maintained and enforced by or on behalf of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries that are
              designed in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to promote and achieve compliance by the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries and, when acting on behalf of the  Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, their respective directors,

            (i)      In the event that (1) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall form or acquire any new Subsidiary (other than a Financing Subsidiary), or any other Person
              shall become a “Subsidiary” within the meaning of the definition thereof (other than a Financing Subsidiary); (2) any Structured Subsidiary shall no longer constitute a “Structured Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof  (in which
              case such Person shall be deemed to be a “new” Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 5.08); or (3) any SBIC Subsidiary shall no longer constitute an “SBIC Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof  (in which case such Person
              shall be deemed to be a “new” Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 5.08), the Borrower will, in each case, (i) promptly provide

             

            
              97

              Agent in its sole discretion) following such Person becoming a Subsidiary or such Financing Subsidiary no longer qualifying as such, cause such new Subsidiary or former Financing Subsidiary to become a “Subsidiary Guarantor” (and, thereby, an
              “Obligor”) under the Guarantee and Security Agreement pursuant to a Guarantee Assumption Agreement and to deliver such proof of corporate or other action, incumbency of officers, opinions of counsel and other documents as the Administrative
              Agent shall have reasonably requested.

             

            (ii)      The Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to exclude each Structured Subsidiary as an Obligor only for so long as such
              Person qualifies as a “Structured Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof, and thereafter such Person shall no longer constitute a “Structured Subsidiary” for any purpose of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

             

            (iii)     The Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to exclude each SBIC Subsidiary as an Obligor only for so long as such Person
              qualifies as an “SBIC Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof, and thereafter such Person shall no longer constitute an “SBIC Subsidiary” for any purpose of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

             

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

             

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

             

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

             

            (ii)      with respect to each deposit account or securities account of the Obligors (other than (A) any Agency Account, (B) any such accounts which hold solely money or
              financial assets of a Financing Subsidiary, (C) withholding tax and fiduciary accounts or any trust account maintained solely on behalf of a Portfolio Investment, and (D) any account in which the aggregate value of deposits therein, together
              with all other such accounts under this clause (D), does not at any time exceed $75,000; provided that in the

             

            
              98

              
                

            

            case of each of the foregoing clauses (A) through (D), no other Person (other than the depository institution at which such account is maintained) shall have “control” (within the meaning of
              the Uniform Commercial Code) over such account), cause each bank or securities intermediary (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code) to enter into such arrangements with the Collateral Agent as shall be appropriate in order that
              the Collateral Agent has “control” (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code) over each such deposit account or securities account (each, a “Control Account”) and in that connection, the Borrower agrees, subject to Sections

                5.08(c)(iv) and (v) below, to cause all cash and other proceeds of Portfolio Investments received by any Obligor to be immediately deposited into a Control Account (or otherwise delivered to, or registered in the name of, the
              Collateral Agent) and, both prior to and following such deposit, delivery or registration such cash and other proceeds shall be held in trust by the Borrower for the benefit and as the property of the Collateral Agent and shall not be
              commingled with any other funds or property of such Obligor or any other Person (including with any money or financial assets of the Borrower in its capacity as “servicer” for a Structured Subsidiary, or any money or financial assets of a
              Structured Subsidiary, or any money or financial assets of the Borrower in its capacity as an “agent” or “administrative agent” for any other Bank Loans subject to Section 5.08(c)(v) below);

             

            (iii)     cause the Financing Subsidiaries to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such certificates and agreements, in form and substance reasonably
              satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as it shall determine are necessary to confirm that such Financing Subsidiary qualifies or continues to qualify as a “Structured Subsidiary” or an “SBIC Subsidiary”, as applicable, pursuant to the
              definitions thereof;

             

            (iv)      in the case of any Portfolio Investment consisting of a Bank Loan (as defined in Section 5.13) that does not constitute all of the credit extended to the
              underlying borrower under the relevant underlying loan documents and a Financing Subsidiary holds any interest in the loans or other extensions of credit under such loan documents, (x)(1) cause the interest owned by such Financing Subsidiary
              to be evidenced by a separate note or notes, which note or notes are either (A) in the name of such Financing Subsidiary or (B) in the name of the Borrower, endorsed in blank and delivered to the applicable Financing Subsidiary and
              beneficially owned by the Financing Subsidiary (or, in the case of a Noteless Assigned Loan (as defined in Section 5.13), cause the interest owned by such Financing Subsidiary to be evidenced by separate assignment documentation
              contemplated by paragraph 1(b) of Schedule 1.01(d) in the name of such Financing Subsidiary) and (2) not permit
                such Financing Subsidiary to have a participation acquired from an Obligor in such underlying loan documents and the extensions of credit thereunder or any other indirect interest therein acquired
                from an Obligor; and (y) ensure that, subject to Section 5.08(c)(v) below, all amounts owing to any Obligor by the underlying borrower or other obligated party are remitted by such borrower or obligated party (or the
              applicable administrative agents, collateral agents or equivalent Person) directly  to the Custodian Account and no other amounts owing by such underlying borrower or obligated party are remitted to the Custodian Account;

              

            

            
              99

              
                

            

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

             

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

             

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

             

            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any instrument, promissory note, agreement, document or certificate held by the Custodian is destroyed or lost not as a result of any action of the
              Borrower, then:

            

            

            (i)       in the case of any Investment in Indebtedness other than a Noteless Assigned Loan, if such destroyed or lost document is an original promissory note registered in
              the name of an Obligor, such original promissory note shall constitute an “Undelivered Note” and the Borrower shall have up to twenty (20) Business Days from the date when any Tennenbaum Party has knowledge of such loss or destruction to
              deliver to the Custodian a replacement promissory note and comply with the requirements of paragraph (1)(c)(x) of Schedule 1.01(d); provided that during such twenty (20) Business Day period the limitations under paragraph
              (1)(a)(i) and (ii) of Schedule 1.01(d) shall apply; and

             

            (ii)       in the case of any Noteless Assigned Loans, if such destroyed instrument or document is an original transfer document or instrument relating to such Noteless

             

            
              100

              
                

            

            Assigned Loan, the Borrower shall have up to twenty (20) Business Days from the date when any Tennenbaum Party has knowledge of such loss or destruction to deliver to the Custodian a
              replacement instrument or document and comply with the requirements of paragraph (1)(c)(x) of Schedule 1.01(d).

             

            SECTION 5.09.  Use of Proceeds.  The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans only for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than the Financing
              Subsidiaries except as expressly permitted under Section 6.03(e)) in the ordinary course of business, including making distributions not prohibited by this Agreement, making payments on Indebtedness of the Obligors to the extent
              permitted under this Agreement and the acquisition and funding (either directly or indirectly as expressly permitted hereunder) of leveraged loans, mezzanine loans, high-yield securities, convertible securities, preferred stock, common stock
              and other Portfolio Investments, in each case to the extent otherwise permitted hereunder; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any responsibility as to the use of any of such proceeds.  No part of
              the proceeds of any Loan will be used in violation of applicable law, rule or regulation or, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying any Margin Stock.  On the first day (if
              any) an Obligor acquires any Margin Stock and at any other time requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with
              the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U.  Margin Stock shall be purchased by the Obligors only with the proceeds of Indebtedness not directly or indirectly secured by Margin Stock (within the
              meaning of Regulation U), or with the proceeds of equity capital of the Borrower.  No Obligor will directly or knowingly indirectly use the proceeds of the Loans or otherwise make available such proceeds (I) to any Person for the purpose of
              financing the activities of any Person currently (A) subject to, or the subject of, any Sanctions or (B) organized or resident in a Sanctioned Country or (II) for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party,
              official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws.

             

            SECTION 5.10.   Status of RIC and BDC.  The Parent shall at all times maintain its status as a “business development company” under the Investment Company Act.  The Parent shall at
              all times maintain its status as a RIC under the Code.

             

            SECTION 5.11.  Investment Policies.  The Borrower shall at all times be in compliance in all material respects with its Investment Policies, as amended by Permitted Policy Amendments.

             

            SECTION 5.12.   Portfolio Valuation and Diversification Etc. 

             

            (a)      Industry Classification Groups.  For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Borrower shall assign each Eligible Portfolio Investment to an Industry
              Classification Group as reasonably determined by the Borrower.  To the extent that any Eligible Portfolio Investment is not adequately correlated with the risks of other Eligible Portfolio Investments in an Industry Classification Group, such
              Eligible Portfolio Investment

             

            
              101

              
                

            

            may be assigned by the Borrower to the Industry Classification Group that is most closely correlated to such Eligible Portfolio Investment.

             

            (b)       Portfolio Valuation Etc.

             

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

             

            (ii)       Determination of Values.  The Borrower will conduct reviews of the value to be assigned to each of its Eligible Portfolio Investments as follows:

             

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

             

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

             

            (x)         in the case of Bank Loans, (i) by taking the average of the bid prices as determined by two Approved Dealers selected by the Borrower, (ii) by an Approved
              Pricing Service which makes reference to at least two broker-dealers or (iii) by an Approved Pricing Service which makes reference to one broker-dealer; provided, that any Bank Loan valued in accordance with this clause (iii) shall be
              a “Limited Reference Quoted Investment”; provided, further, that the value of any Limited Reference Quoted Investment shall be subject to testing as an IVP Tested Asset as set forth in clause (B)(x) below and, in the
              event that the high end of the range of the IVP External Unquoted Value of any Limited Reference Quoted Investment so tested is lower than the External Quoted Value of such Limited Reference Quoted Investment, the External Quoted Value of
              such Limited Reference Quoted Investment shall be deemed equal to the midpoint of the range of such IVP External Unquoted Value until the following Valuation Testing Date (as defined below) unless the Administrative Agent shall have provided
              written notice to the Borrower prior to such following Valuation Testing Date that such Limited Reference Quoted Asset shall be an IVP Tested Asset as of such following Valuation Testing Date,

             

            
              102

              
                

            

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

             

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

             

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

                Investments”), and Limited Reference Quoted Investment:

             

            (x)       For each fiscal quarter (or such other dates as are reasonably agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (provided that such testing dates shall
              occur not less than quarterly), each a “Valuation Testing Date”), the Administrative Agent through an Independent Valuation Provider will, solely for purposes of determining the Borrowing Base, test the values as of such Valuation
              Testing Date of those Unquoted Investments and Limited Reference Quoted Assets that are Portfolio Investments included in the Borrowing Base selected by the Administrative Agent (such selected assets, the “IVP Tested Assets” and such
              value, the “IVP External Unquoted Value”); provided that the fair value of such Portfolio Investments tested by the Independent Valuation Provider as of any Valuation Testing Date shall be approximately 25% (but in no event
              shall exceed 30%) of the aggregate value of the Unquoted Investments and Limited Reference Quoted Investments in the Borrowing Base (the determination of fair value for such 25% threshold shall be based off of the last determination of value
              of the Portfolio Investments pursuant to this Section 5.12 and, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any Unquoted Investments acquired during the calendar quarter, the value shall be as determined pursuant to clause (E)(z)(2)
              below); provided further, that the Administrative Agent shall provide written notice to the Borrower, setting forth a description of which Unquoted Investments and/or and Limited Reference Quoted Assets shall be IVP Tested
              Assets as of such Valuation Testing Date, not later than 45 days prior to the Valuation Testing Date (or such later date as is reasonably agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent).  Each such valuation report shall also include the
              information required to comply with clause (ii) of paragraph 7 and paragraph 23 of Schedule 1.01(d) for an IVP Tested Asset (to the extent such provisions are applicable).

             

            (y)         With respect to all Unquoted Investments that are not IVP Tested Assets as of such Valuation Testing Date (the “Borrower Tested Assets”), the Borrower
              shall request an Approved Third-Party Appraiser to assist the Board of Directors of the Parent in determining the fair market value of the remaining Unquoted Investments, as of each Valuation Testing Date (such value, the “Borrower
                External Unquoted Value”), and to provide the Board of Directors with a written independent

             

            
              103

              
                

            

            valuation report as part of that assistance each quarter; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Parent may, without the
              assistance of an Approved Third-Party Appraiser, determine the fair value of any Unquoted Investment so long as (i) the aggregate fair value of Portfolio Investments issued by the applicable issuer does not exceed $10,000,000 and (ii) the
              aggregate Value of all such Unquoted Investments so determined does not at any time exceed 5% of the aggregate value of all Eligible Portfolio Investments (the “No External Review Assets”). The fair market value of any Unquoted
              Investment (other than any No External Review Assets and as provided pursuant to clause (E)(z)(2) below) that has been determined without the assistance of an Approved Third-Party Appraiser as at the last day of any fiscal quarter shall be
              deemed to be zero as at the last day of such fiscal quarter (but effective upon the date upon which the Borrowing Base Certificate for such last day is required to be delivered) if an Approved Third-Party Appraiser has not assisted the Board
              of Directors of the Parent in determining the fair market value of such Portfolio Investment, as at such date.  Each such valuation report shall also include the information required to comply with clause (ii) of paragraph 7 and paragraph 23
              of Schedule 1.01(d).

             

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

             

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

             

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

             

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

             

            
              104

              
                

            

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

             

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

             

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

             

            except that:

             

            (1)          if the difference between the highest and lowest Borrower External Unquoted Value in such range exceeds an amount equal to 6% (or, with respect to determining
              the value of an Unquoted Investment that is Performing Common Equity, 15%) of the midpoint of such range, the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall instead be deemed to be the lowest of (i) the lowest
              Borrower External Unquoted Value in such range, (ii) the Internal Value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C), and (iii) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value  of such Unquoted Investment;

             

            (2)         if an Unquoted Investment is acquired during a fiscal quarter, the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be
              equal to the lowest of (x) the Internal Value of such Unquoted Investment as determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C), (y) the cost of such Unquoted Investment until such time as the External Unquoted Value of
              such

             

            
              105

              
                

            

            Unquoted Investment is determined in accordance with Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B) as at the Valuation Testing Date, and (z) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or
              face value of such Unquoted Investment; and

             

            (3)         the “Value” of No External Review Assets for the sole purpose of this provision shall be the lower of (x) the fair value as determined by the Board of
              Directors of the Parent, (y) the Internal Value and (z) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment.  However, the value of any No External Review Asset that has not been valued by an
              Independent Valuation Provider or an Approved Third-Party Appraiser for more than three (3) fiscal quarters shall be zero until such asset is valued by an Independent Valuation Provider or an Approved Third-Party Appraiser.

             

            (F)         Actions Upon a Borrowing Base Deficiency. If, based upon such weekly internal review, the Borrower determines that a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or
              that the Borrowing Base has declined by more than 15% from the Borrowing Base stated in the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, then the Borrower shall, promptly and in any event within two
              (2) Business Days as provided in Section 5.01(g), deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting the new amount of the Borrowing Base and shall take the actions, and make the payments and prepayments (if any), all as more
              specifically set forth in Section 2.08(c).

             

            (G)        Failure to Determine Values.  If the Borrower shall fail to determine the value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment as at any date pursuant to the
              requirements (but subject to the exclusions) of the foregoing subclauses (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) (or if the Administrative Agent shall fail to determine the value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment as described in the foregoing subclause
              (B)(x) as a result of any action, inaction or lack of cooperation of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates), then the “Value” of such Eligible Portfolio Investment as at such date shall be deemed to be zero.  Except as provided in the
              immediately preceding sentence, if the Administrative Agent shall fail to determine the value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment as at any date pursuant to clause (B)(x), then the “Value” of such Eligible Portfolio Investment as at such
              date (subject to Section 5.12(b)(iii) below) shall be the lower of (x) the Internal Value and (y) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment.

             

            (iii)     Supplemental Testing of Values; Valuation Dispute Resolutions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, individually or at the request of
              the Required Lenders, shall at any time have the right to request any Portfolio Investment (other than IVP Tested Assets as of the most recent Valuation Testing Date) included in the Borrowing Base with a value determined pursuant to Section

                5.12(b)(ii)(E) to be independently valued by an Independent Valuation Provider.  There shall be no limit on the number of such appraisals requested by the Administrative

             

            
              106

              
                

            

            Agent and the costs of any such valuation shall be at the expense of the Borrower. If (x) the value of any Borrower Tested Asset determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) is less
              than the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider pursuant to this clause, then the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) shall continue to be used as the “Value” for purposes of this Agreement and (y) if the
              value of any Borrower Tested Asset determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) is greater than the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider and the difference between such values is (1) less than or equal to 5% of the
              value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii), then the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) shall become the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment, (2) greater than 5% and less than or equal to 20% of the value
              determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii), then the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment shall become the average of the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) and the value determined by the Independent Valuation
              Provider, and (3) greater than 20% of the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii), then either (i) the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment shall be the lesser of the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)
              and the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider or (ii) if the Borrower so elects, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall retain (at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense) an additional Approved Third-Party Appraiser
              and, upon completion of such appraisal, the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment shall be the average of the three valuations (with the average of the value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) and the value determined by the
              Independent Valuation Provider to be used until the third value is obtained).  For purposes of this Section 5.12(b)(iii), the “Value” of any Portfolio Investment for which the Independent Valuation Provider’s value is used shall be
              the midpoint of the range (if any) determined by the Independent Valuation Provider.

             

            (iv)      Generally Applicable Valuation Provisions.

             

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

             

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

            

            

            (C)         The documented out-of-pocket costs of any valuation reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent under this Section 5.12 shall be at the expense
              of the Borrower.

              107

              
                

            

            Independent Valuation Provider or the Approved Third-Party Appraiser to any Lender upon such Lender’s request, except to the extent that such recipient has not executed and delivered a
              non-reliance letter, confidentiality agreement or similar agreement, in each case, requested or required by such Independent Valuation Provider or Approved Third-Party Appraiser, as applicable.

            

            

            (E)         The foregoing valuation procedures shall only be required to be used for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base and shall not be required to be utilized
              by the Borrower for any other purpose, including the delivery of financial statements or valuations required under Accounting Standard Codification 820 or the Investment Company Act.

            

            

            (c)      Certain Investment Company Related Requirements.  The Borrower will (together with its Subsidiaries to the extent required by the
                Investment Company Act) at all times comply with the portfolio diversification and similar requirements set forth in the Investment Company Act and the Code applicable to business development companies (regardless of whether the Borrower is
                then a business development company) that are taxed as RICs.

             

            SECTION 5.13.  Calculation of Borrowing Base.  For purposes of this Agreement, the “Borrowing Base” shall be determined, as at any date of determination, as the sum of the
              products obtained by multiplying (x) the Value of each Eligible Portfolio Investment by (y) the applicable Advance Rate; provided that:

             

            (a)       the Advance Rate applicable to the aggregate Value of all Eligible Portfolio Investments in their entirety shall be 0% at any time when the Borrowing Base is
              composed entirely of Eligible Portfolio Investments issued by fewer than 20 different issuers;

             

            (b)       with respect to all Eligible Portfolio Investments issued by a single issuer, the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of such Eligible Portfolio Investments
              that exceeds 5.0% of the Obligors’ Net Worth shall be 0%; provided that, with respect to each of the three (3) largest Portfolio Companies that constitute Eligible Portfolio Investments (based on the fair value of the Eligible
              Portfolio Investments), only that portion of such Eligible Portfolio Investments issued by such Portfolio Companies that exceeds 7.5% of the Obligors’ Net Worth shall have an Advance Rate of 0%;

             

            (c)       the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Eligible Portfolio Investments in any Industry Classification Group shall not exceed (i) in the case of an
              Industry Classification Group that is one of the Two Largest Industry Classification Groups, 20% of the Borrowing Base and (ii) in the case of any other Industry Classification Group, 15% of the Borrowing Base, and the Borrowing Base shall be
              reduced by removing Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent such portion would otherwise exceed 20% of the Borrowing Base or 15% of the Borrowing Base, as applicable;

             

            
              108

              
                

            

            (d)      if at any time the weighted average maturity of all Debt Eligible Portfolio Investments (based on the fair value of such Eligible Portfolio Investments to the
              extent included in the Borrowing Base) exceeds 5.0 years, the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by removing Debt Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent necessary to cause the weighted average
              maturity of all Debt Eligible Portfolio Investments included in the Borrowing Base to be no greater than 5.0 years (subject to all other constraints, limitations and restrictions set forth herein);

             

            (e)       the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Debt Eligible Portfolio Investments with a maturity greater than seven (7) years shall not exceed 15% of the
              Borrowing Base, and the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by removing Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent such portion would otherwise exceed 15% of the Borrowing Base;

             

            (f)       if at any time the Weighted Average Leverage Ratio is greater than 4.75, the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by removing Debt Eligible Portfolio Investments
              therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent necessary to cause the Weighted Average Leverage Ratio to be no greater than 4.75 (subject to all other constraints, limitations and restrictions set forth herein); provided that
              any LTV Transactions shall be excluded from such calculation;

             

            (g)       the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Eligible Portfolio Investments issued by one or more Portfolio Companies with a trailing twelve-month total debt
              to EBITDA ratio of greater than 6.00 to 1.00 shall not exceed 15% of the Borrowing Base, and the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by removing Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent such portion
              would otherwise exceed 15% of the Borrowing Base; provided that any LTV Transactions shall be excluded from such calculation;

              Borrowing Base shall be reduced by removing Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent such portion would otherwise exceed 15% of the Borrowing Base;

             

            (i)       the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Eligible Portfolio Investments that are not Cash in Dollars, Cash Equivalents, Long-Term U.S. Government
              Securities or Performing First Lien Bank Loans shall not exceed 60% of the Borrowing Base, and the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by removing Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent such portion
              would otherwise exceed 60% of the Borrowing Base;

             

            (j)       the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Eligible Portfolio Investments that are not Cash in Dollars, Cash Equivalents, Long-Term U.S. Government
              Securities, Performing First Lien Bank Loans, Performing Last Out Loans, or Performing Second Lien Bank Loans shall not exceed 25% of the Borrowing Base, and the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by removing Eligible Portfolio Investments
              therefrom

             

            
              109

              
                

            

            (but not from the Collateral) to the extent such portion would otherwise exceed 25% of the Borrowing Base;

             

            (k)      if at any time the Weighted Average Fixed Coupon (after giving effect to any Hedging Agreement) is less than the greater of (i) 8% and (ii) the one-month LIBO Rate
              plus 4.5%, the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by removing Debt Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent necessary to cause the Weighted Average Fixed Coupon to be at least equal to the greater of
              (x) 8% and (y) the one-month LIBO Rate plus 4.5% (subject to all other constraints, limitations and restrictions set forth herein);

             

            (l)       if at any time the Weighted Average Floating Spread (after giving effect to any Hedging Agreement) is less than 4.5%, the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by
              removing Debt Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent necessary to cause the Weighted Average Floating Spread to be at least 4.5% (subject to all other constraints, limitations and restrictions set
              forth herein);

             

            (m)      the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Eligible Portfolio Investments that are LTV Transactions shall not exceed 20% of the Borrowing Base, and the
              Borrowing Base shall be reduced by removing Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent such portion would otherwise exceed 20% of the Borrowing Base;

             

            (n)      the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Eligible Portfolio Investments that are Foreign Eligible Portfolio Investments shall not exceed 15% of the
              Borrowing Base, and the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by removing Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent such portion would otherwise exceed 15% of the Borrowing Base.

             

            (o)      the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the Borrowing Base that is either (I) Agreed Foreign Currency Cash or (II) Cash Equivalents, in either case that is
              (i) issued by a jurisdiction other than the United States or a Permitted Foreign Jurisdiction, (ii) not otherwise hedged to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and (iii) in excess of the then current amount of
              Loans outstanding in the respective Currency of such Agreed Foreign Currency Cash or Cash Equivalents, shall be 90% of the otherwise applicable Advance Rate;

             

            (p)       the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Eligible Portfolio Investments issued by Third Party Finance Companies shall not exceed 5% of the Borrowing
              Base, and the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by removing Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent such portion would otherwise exceed 5% of the Borrowing Base;

             

            (q)       the portion of the Eligible Portfolio Investments that are No External Review Assets shall not exceed 5% of all Eligible Portfolio Investments, and the Eligible
              Portfolio Investments contributing to the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by removing

             

            
              110

              
                

            

            Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent such portion would otherwise exceed 5% of all Eligible Portfolio Investments; and

             

            (r)       the portion of the Eligible Portfolio Investments that are Limited Reference Quoted Investments shall not exceed 10% of all Eligible Portfolio Investments, and
              the Eligible Portfolio Investments contributing to the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by removing Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent such portion would otherwise exceed 10% of all Eligible
              Portfolio Investments

             

            For the avoidance of doubt, no Portfolio Investment shall be an Eligible Portfolio Investment unless, among the other requirements set forth in this Agreement, (i) such Investment is subject
              only to Eligible Liens and (ii) such Investment is Transferable.  In addition, as used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

            one category or another shall be made by the Borrower on a consistent basis with the foregoing.   For example, a secured bank loan at a holding company whose only assets are the shares of a fully capitalized
              operating company may constitute Mezzanine Investments but would not ordinarily constitute a Bank Loan.

              facility, whether or not syndicated.

            

            

            “Cash” means, collectively, USD Cash, Agreed Foreign Currency Cash and Other Cash.

            

            

            “Cash Equivalents” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 1.01 of this Agreement.

              Out Loans or Second Lien Bank Loans, not less than 3/4ths) of the interest payable in respect of such Portfolio Investment (including accretions and “pay-in-kind” interest) for the current monthly, quarterly or semi-annual (as applicable)
              interest period is payable in cash or (y) (i) if such Portfolio Investment is a floating rate obligation, cash interest in an amount greater than or equal to 4.5% above 3-month LIBOR is payable at least semi-annually or (ii) if such Portfolio

              covenant relating to a borrowing base, asset valuation or similar asset-based requirement), in each case, regardless of whether compliance with one or more incurrence covenants is otherwise required by such Bank Loan.

            

            

            “Debt Eligible Portfolio Investment” means an Eligible Portfolio Investment that is an Investment in Indebtedness.

            

            

            “Defaulted Obligation” means (a) any Investment in Indebtedness (i) as to which, (x) a default as to the payment of principal and/or interest has occurred and is continuing for a period of

              proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee, administrator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with reorganization or liquidation of is business or custodian, appointed for it (unless, in the case of
              clause (ii) or (iii), such debt is a DIP Loan, in which case it shall not be deemed to be a Defaulted Obligation under such clause); (iv) as to which a default rate of interest has been and continues to be charged for more than 120

            SECTION 5.14.   Taxes.  Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will timely file or cause to be timely filed all U.S. federal, state and material local Tax returns that are required
              to be filed by it and all other material Tax returns that are required to be filed by it and will pay all Taxes for which it is directly or indirectly liable and any assessments made against it or any of its property
              and all other Taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority, except Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and with respect to which reserves in conformity
              with GAAP are provided on the books of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be.  The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries in respect of Taxes and other governmental charges will
              be adequate in accordance with GAAP.

             

            SECTION 5.15.   Anti-Hoarding of Assets at Financing Subsidiaries.  If any Financing Subsidiary is not prohibited by any law, rule or regulation or by any contract or agreement
              relating to indebtedness from distributing all or any portion of its assets to an Obligor, then such Financing Subsidiary shall distribute to an Obligor the amount of assets held by such Financing Subsidiary that such Financing Subsidiary is
              permitted to distribute and that, in the

             

            
              120

              
                

            

            good faith judgment of the Borrower, such Financing Subsidiary does not reasonably expect to utilize, in the ordinary course of business, to obtain or maintain a financing from an unaffiliated third party; provided
              that if a Default has occurred and is continuing and the value of the assets owned by such Financing Subsidiary significantly exceeds the amount of indebtedness of such Financing Subsidiary, even if such Financing Subsidiary is prohibited by
              any contract or agreement relating to indebtedness from distributing all or any portion of its assets to an Obligor, the Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as is necessary to cause such Financing
              Subsidiary to become an Obligor or distribute assets to an Obligor in an amount equal to the amount of assets held by such Financing Subsidiary that, in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, such Financing Subsidiary does not reasonably
              expect to utilize, in the ordinary course of business, to obtain or maintain a financing from an unaffiliated third party that includes advance rates that are substantially comparable to market terms for substantially similar debt financings
              at such time of determination; provided, further, that prior to the Revolver Termination Date, this Section 5.15 shall not apply to any Financing Subsidiary the Equity Interest of which is subject to a first priority
              perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent securing the Secured Obligations.

             

             

            ARTICLE VI

             

            NEGATIVE COVENANTS

             

            Until the Termination Date, the Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lenders that:

             

            SECTION 6.01.    Indebtedness.  The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Indebtedness, except:

            (b)      Indebtedness of Financing Subsidiaries; provided that (i) on the date that such Indebtedness is incurred (for clarity, with respect to any and all revolving loan facilities
              or staged advance loan facilities, “incurrence” shall be deemed to take place at the time such facility is entered into, and not upon each borrowing thereunder), prior to and immediately after giving effect to the incurrence thereof, the
              Borrower is in pro forma compliance with each of the covenants set forth in Sections 6.07(a) to (e) and the Parent is in pro forma compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 6.07(f), and on the date of such
              incurrence Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to such effect and (ii) in the case of revolving loan facilities or staged advance loan facilities, upon each borrowing thereunder, the Borrower is
              in pro forma compliance with each of the covenants set forth in Sections 6.07(a) to (e) and the Parent is in pro forma compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 6.07(f);

             

            (c)       repurchase obligations arising in the ordinary course of business with respect to U.S. Government Securities;

             

            (d)       obligations payable to clearing agencies, brokers or dealers in connection with the purchase or sale of securities in the ordinary course of business;

             

            
              121

              
                

            

            (e)       obligations of the Borrower under a Permitted SBIC Guarantee and obligations (including Guarantees) in respect of Standard Securitization Undertakings;

             

            (f)       Indebtedness of the Borrower under any Hedging Agreements entered into in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s business for interest rate or currency hedging and not for
              speculative purposes, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15,000,000 at any time outstanding (for clarity, the amount of any Indebtedness under any Hedging Agreement shall be the amount such Obligor would be obligated for under such Hedging
              Agreement if such Hedging Agreement were terminated at the time of determination);

             

            (g)       Indebtedness in respect of judgments or awards that have been in force for less than the applicable period for taking an appeal, so long as such judgments or awards do not
              constitute an Event of Default;

             

            (h)       Indebtedness of an Obligor to any other Obligor; and

             

            (i)        additional Indebtedness not for borrowed money, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15,000,000 at any time outstanding.

             

            SECTION 6.02.   Liens.  (i) The Borrower will not permit the Parent to create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on the Equity Interests of the Borrower now owned or hereafter
              acquired by the Parent and (ii) the Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on any property or asset (including Equity Interests in any Financing Subsidiary or any
              other Subsidiary) now owned or hereafter acquired by it, or assign or sell any income or revenues (including accounts receivable) or rights in respect of any thereof except, in the case of this clause (ii):

             

            (a)       any Lien on any property or asset of the Borrower existing on the RestatementFirst Amendment Effective Date and set forth in Schedule 3.11(b), provided that (i) no such Lien shall extend to
              any other property or asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (ii) any such Lien shall secure only those obligations which it secures on the RestatementFirst Amendment Effective Date and extensions, renewals and replacements thereof that do not increase the outstanding principal
              amount thereof;

             

            (b)       Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents;

             

            (c)       Liens on assets owned by Financing Subsidiaries;

             

            (d)       Permitted Liens;

             

            (e)       additional Liens securing Indebtedness not for borrowed money not to exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate;

             

            (f)       Liens created by posting of cash collateral in connection with Hedging Agreements permitted under Section 6.01(f) or Section 6.04(c) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15,000,000
              at any time; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, at no time shall such cash collateral constitute an Eligible Portfolio Investment; and

             

            
              122

              
                

            

            (g)       Liens on Equity Interests in any SBIC Subsidiary created in favor of the SBA.

             

            SECTION 6.03.  Fundamental Changes.  The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation or amalgamation, or
              liquidate, wind up or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution).  The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, acquire any business or property from, or Equity Interests of, or be a party to any
              acquisition of, any Person, except for purchases or acquisitions of Portfolio Investments and other assets in the normal course of the day-to-day business activities of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and not in violation of the terms and
              conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, convey, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of, in one transaction or a series of transactions, any part of
              its assets (including Cash, Cash Equivalents and Equity Interests), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, but excluding (x) assets (including Cash and Cash Equivalents but excluding Portfolio
                Investments) sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including to make expenditures of cash in the normal course of the day-to-day business activities of the Borrower and its
                Subsidiaries) and (y) subject to the provisions of clauses (d) and (e) below, Portfolio Investments.  The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, file a certificate
              of division, adopt a plan of division or otherwise take any action to effectuate a division pursuant to Section 18-217 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (or any analogous action taken pursuant to applicable law with respect to any
              corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity).

             

            Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section:

             

            (a)       any Subsidiary of the Borrower may be merged or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor; provided that if any such transaction shall be (i)
              between a Subsidiary or a Subsidiary Guarantor and the Borrower, the Borrower shall be the continuing or surviving entity and (ii) between a Subsidiary and a wholly owned Subsidiary Guarantor, the wholly owned Subsidiary Guarantor shall be
              the continuing or surviving entity;

             

            (b)       any Subsidiary of the Borrower may sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of its assets (upon voluntary liquidation or otherwise) to the Borrower or any wholly
              owned Subsidiary Guarantor of the Borrower;

             

            (c)       the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary of the Borrower may be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to the Borrower or any wholly owned Subsidiary Guarantor of the Borrower;

             

            (d)      the Obligors may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Portfolio Investments (other than to a Financing Subsidiary or the Parent or any of their respective affiliates) so long as
              prior to and after giving effect to such sale, transfer or other disposition (and any concurrent acquisitions of Portfolio Investments or payment of outstanding Loans or Other Covered Indebtedness) the Covered Debt Amount does not exceed the
              Borrowing Base;

             

            
              123

              
                

            

            (e)       the Obligors may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Portfolio Investments, Cash and Cash Equivalents to a Financing Subsidiary so long as (i) prior to and immediately after
              giving effect to such sale, transfer or other disposition (and any concurrent acquisitions of Portfolio Investments or payment of outstanding Loans or Other Covered Indebtedness), the Covered Debt Amount does not exceed the Borrowing Base and
              no Default exists, and the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to such effect, (ii) after giving effect to such sale, transfer or other disposition (and any concurrent acquisitions of Portfolio
              Investments or payment of outstanding Loans or Other Covered Indebtedness), either (x) the amount by which the Borrowing Base exceeds the Covered Debt Amount immediately prior to such sale, transfer or other disposition is not diminished as a
              result of such sale, transfer or other disposition or (y) the Borrowing Base immediately after giving effect to such sale, transfer or other disposition is at least 120% of the Covered Debt Amount;

             

            (f)        the Borrower may merge or consolidate with any other Person, so long as (x) the Borrower is the continuing or surviving entity in such transaction and at the time thereof and after
              giving effect thereto, no Default shall have occurred or be continuing or (y) if such Person is the Parent and the Borrower is not the surviving entity, (i) such Person shall expressly assume, by an amendment or supplement, executed and
              delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Lender and in a form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all Loans and other obligations and the
              performance of every covenant and every other obligation or liability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on the part of the Borrower to be performed or observed, all as provided herein, (ii) at the time thereof and after giving
              effect thereto, no Default shall have occurred or be continuing, (iii) the Borrower shall have provided at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent (which shall provide a copy of such notice to each
              Lender) and the Required Lenders shall not have affirmatively objected in writing to such merger or consolidation within ten (10) days of the notice thereof as provided above, (iv) the Borrower shall have taken all steps necessary or
              requested by the Administrative Agent to preserve the effectiveness, perfection and priority of the Liens created under the Security Documents and (v) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Lender an opinion of
              counsel concerning such matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require;

             

            (g)       the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of equipment or other property or assets that do not consist of Portfolio Investments so long as the
              aggregate amount of all such sales, leases, transfers and dispositions does not exceed $5,000,000 in any fiscal year; provided that dispositions of any such property or assets received in connection with an enforcement action on account of a
              Portfolio Investment shall not be subject to such limit; and

             

            (h)      any Subsidiary of the Borrower may be liquidated or dissolved; provided that (i) in connection with such liquidation or dissolution, any and all of the assets of such
              Subsidiary shall be distributed or otherwise transferred to the Borrower or any wholly owned Subsidiary Guarantor of the Borrower and (ii) the Borrower determines in good faith that such

            

             

            

            
              124

              
                

            

             liquidation is in the best interest of the Borrower and is not materially disadvantageous to the Lenders.

             

            

            SECTION 6.04.  Investments.  The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, acquire, make or enter into, or hold, any Investments except:

             

            (a)       operating deposit accounts with banks;

             

            (b)       Investments by the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors;

             

            (c)       Hedging Agreements entered into in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s business for financial planning and not for speculative purposes;

             

            (d)       Portfolio Investments by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to the extent such Portfolio Investments are permitted under the Investment Company Act (to the extent such applicable
              Person is subject to the Investment Company Act) and the Investment Policies (as amended by Permitted Policy Amendments);

             

            (e)       Equity Interests in (or capital contributions to) Financing Subsidiaries to the extent not prohibited by Section 6.03(e);

             

            (f)       Investments by any Financing Subsidiary;

             

            (g)       Investments in Cash and Cash Equivalents;

             

            (h)       Investments described on Schedule 3.12(b) hereto; and

             

            (i)        additional Investments up to but not exceeding $5,000,000 in the aggregate (for purposes of this clause (i), the aggregate amount of an Investment at any time shall be deemed to be
              equal to (A) the aggregate amount of cash, together with the aggregate fair market value of property loaned, advanced, contributed, transferred or otherwise invested that gives rise to such Investment (calculated at the time such Investment
              is made), minus (B) the aggregate amount of dividends, distributions or other payments (other than on account of taxes) received in cash in respect of such Investment; provided that in no event shall the aggregate amount of
              any Investment be less than zero; and provided, further, that the amount of any Investment shall not be reduced by reason of any write-off of such Investment, nor increased by way of any increase in the amount of earnings
              retained in the Person in which such Investment is made that have not been dividended, distributed or otherwise paid out).

             

            SECTION 6.05.  Restricted Payments.  The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Financing Subsidiaries) to, declare or make, or agree to pay or
              make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment, except that:

             

            (a)       the Borrower may declare and pay dividends and other distributions to the Parent with respect to the Equity Interests of the Borrower payable solely in additional partnership
              interests of the Borrower;

             

            
              125

              
                

            

            (b)       (A) if no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may declare and pay dividends and other distributions to the Parent, in either case in cash or other property
              (excluding for this purpose the Borrower’s Equity Interests) in or with respect to any taxable year of the Borrower (or any calendar year, as relevant) in amounts not to exceed the lesser of:

             

            (i)       110% of the amounts that are required to be distributed by the Parent to (1) allow the Parent to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements imposed by Section
              852(a) of the Code (or any successor thereto) to maintain its eligibility to be taxed as a RIC for any such taxable year, (2) reduce to zero for any such taxable year its liability for federal income taxes imposed on (y) its investment
              company taxable income pursuant to Section 852(b)(1) of the Code (or any successor thereto), or (z) its net capital gain pursuant to Section 852(b)(3) of the Code (or any successor thereto), and (3) reduce to zero its liability for federal
              excise taxes for any such calendar year imposed pursuant to Section 4982 of the Code (or any successor thereto); or

             

            (ii)      110% of the amounts that would be required to be distributed by the Borrower to (1) allow the Borrower to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements imposed by
              Section 852(a) of the Code (or any successor thereto) to maintain its eligibility to be taxed as a RIC for any such taxable year, (2) reduce to zero for any such taxable year its liability for federal income taxes imposed on (y) its
              investment company taxable income pursuant to Section 852(b)(1) of the Code (or any successor thereto), or (z) its net capital gain pursuant to Section 852(b)(3) of the Code (or any successor thereto), and (3) reduce to zero its liability for
              federal excise taxes for any such calendar year imposed pursuant to Section 4982 of the Code (or any successor thereto), in the case of each of (1), (2) and (3), calculated assuming that the Borrower had qualified to be taxed as a RIC,

             

            (such lower amount of (i) and (ii), the “Required Payment Amount”); and

             

            (B) the Borrower may make other Restricted Payments if at the time of any such Restricted Payment and after giving effect thereto, (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and
              (ii) the Covered Debt Amount does not exceed 85% of the Borrowing Base after giving effect to such Restricted Payment (which shall be evidenced through reasonably detailed calculations included in each Borrowing Base Certificate delivered
              pursuant to Section 5.01(f)); and

            

            

            (c)       the Subsidiaries of the Borrower may make Restricted Payments to the Borrower or to any Subsidiary Guarantor.

             

            For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not declare any dividend to the extent such declaration violates the provisions of the Investment Company Act that are applicable to it or would
              be applicable to it if it were then registered as an “investment company” thereunder.

             

            SECTION 6.06.  Certain Restrictions on Subsidiaries.  The Borrower will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to enter into or suffer to exist any indenture, agreement, instrument

             

            
              126

              
                

            

            or other arrangement (other than the Loan Documents) that prohibits or restrains, in each case in any material respect, or imposes materially adverse conditions upon, the incurrence or payment of Indebtedness,
              the granting of Liens, the declaration or payment of dividends, the making of loans, advances, guarantees or Investments or the sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of property, except for any
                prohibitions or restraints contained in (i) any Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.01(c) or (d) secured by a Permitted Lien; provided that such prohibitions and restraints are applicable by their terms only to the assets that are subject to such Lien, (ii)
                any agreement, instrument or other arrangement pertaining to any sale or other disposition of any asset permitted by this Agreement so long as the applicable restrictions (A) only apply to such assets and (B) do not restrict prior to the
                consummation of such sale or disposition the creation or existence of the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents or otherwise required by this Agreement, or the incurrence or payment of Indebtedness under
                this Agreement or the ability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to perform any other obligation under any of the Loan Documents and (iii) any agreement, instrument or other arrangement pertaining to Indebtedness of a Financing Subsidiary

              modifications to the interest rate, fees or other pricing terms; provided that no such amendment, restatement or modification shall, unless the Borrower complies with the terms of Section 5.08(a)(i) hereof, cause a Financing
              Subsidiary to fail to be a “Financing  Subsidiary” in accordance with the definition thereof.

             

            SECTION 6.12.   Payments of Indebtedness.  If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries (other than Financing

            SECTION 6.16.   Parent Holding Company.  The Borrower will not permit the Parent to (i) engage in any business activity other than (w) activities incidental to maintenance of its

              with the collateralization of Hedging Agreements entered into by the Parent and (z) Cash and Cash Equivalents necessary to consummate the payment of dividends on its outstanding common shares, the repurchase of its common shares to the extent

            Agent to take any action within its control, then there shall be no Default hereunder unless such Default shall continue unremedied for a period of ten (10) consecutive Business Days after the earlier of (i)
              the Borrower becoming aware of such Default and (ii) the Borrower’s receipt of written notice of such Default thereof from the Administrative Agent, unless, in each case, the continuance thereof is a result of a failure of the Collateral

              the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, (ii) declare
              the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared
              to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand,

              otherwise provided under or pursuant to any applicable law or agreement.

             

            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, on the CAM Exchange Date, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by law, (a) (i) the Commitments shall automatically and without further act be
              terminated, (ii) the Lenders shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Designated Obligations such that, in lieu of the interests of each Lender in the Designated Obligations under each Loan in
              which it shall participate as of such date, such Lender shall own an interest equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage in the

             

            
              133

              
                

            

            Designated Obligations under each of the Loans, whether or not such Lender shall previously have participated therein, and (b) simultaneously with the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause (a) above,
              the interests in the Designated Obligations to be received in such deemed exchange shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent of such amount (as of the Business Day immediately prior to
              the CAM Exchange Date) and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Designated Obligations shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder.  Each Lender, each
              Person acquiring a participation from any Lender as contemplated by Section 9.04 and the Borrower hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange.  It is understood and agreed that the CAM Exchange, in itself, will not affect the
              aggregate amount of Designated Obligations owing by the Obligors.  The Borrower and the Lenders agree from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the
              Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally
              received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes so executed and delivered; provided that the failure of the Borrower to execute or deliver or of any Lender to
              accept such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange.

             

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

             

            ARTICLE VIII

             

            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

             

            SECTION 8.01.   Appointment.

             

            (a)       Appointment of the Administrative Agent.  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
              and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
              incidental thereto.

             

            (b)       Appointment of the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent is hereby confirmed and reaffirmed as having been appointed as the collateral agent hereunder and under the other
              Loan Documents and in such capacity has been and is authorized to have all the rights and benefits hereunder and thereunder (including Section 9 of the Guarantee and Security Agreement), and to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise
              such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as

             

            
              134

              
                

            

            are reasonably incidental thereto.  In addition to the rights, privileges and immunities in the Guarantee and Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent has been and shall be entitled to all rights, privileges,
              immunities, exculpations and indemnities of the Administrative Agent and for such purpose each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Article VIII has been and shall be deemed to include the Collateral Agent.

             

            SECTION 8.02.   Capacity as Lender.  The Person serving as the 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 the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any other Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in and generally
              engage in any kind of business with any Tennenbaum Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of any Tennenbaum Party as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept fees and other
              consideration from such Tennenbaum Party or such Subsidiary or other Affiliate for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders.

             

            SECTION 8.03.  Limitation of Duties; Exculpation.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
              Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative
              Agent 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 the Administrative Agent is required
              to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose,
              any information relating to the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  The Administrative Agent
              shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan
              Documents) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any
              Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement,
              warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii)
              the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
              other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Loan Documents or the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth
              in Article IV or elsewhere herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the
              Administrative Agent be liable or

             

            
              135

              
                

            

            responsible in any way or manner for the failure to obtain or receive an IVP External Unquoted Value for any asset or for the failure to send any notice required under Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B)(x).

             

            SECTION 8.04.  Reliance.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
              statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper
              Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  The
              Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or
              experts.

             

            SECTION 8.05.   Sub-Agents.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
              Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs
              shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as
              well as activities as Administrative Agent.

             

            SECTION 8.06.   Resignation; Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation,
              the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld (provided that no such consent shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor.  If
              no 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, then the retiring Administrative
              Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent
              shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (2) the Required
              Lenders shall perform the duties of the Administrative Agent (and all payments and communications provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly) until such time as the
              Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above in this paragraph.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the
              rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above
              in this paragraph).  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the Administrative Agent’s
              resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and

             

            
              136

              
                

            

            Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
                while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

             

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

             

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

             

            SECTION 8.09.   Certain ERISA Matters.

             

            (a)       Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such
                Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Obligor,
                that at least one of the following is and will be true:

             

            (i)          such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect

            transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or
              PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and
              this Agreement,

             

            (iii)        (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B)
                such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in,
                administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of

            (iv)       such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such
                Lender.

             

            (b)      In addition, unless either (1) subclause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided

                Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto).

             

            (c)      The Administrative Agent hereby informs the Lenders that the Administrative Agent is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to
                give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that the Administrative Agent has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that the Administrative Agent or an
                Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid

            SECTION 8.11.   Collateral Matters.

             

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

             

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

             

            (c)       Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty
              regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon or any

             

            
              139

              
                

            

            certificate prepared by any Obligor in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for
              any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

             

            SECTION 8.12.   Credit Bidding.  The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of
              the Secured Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or
              through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar
              laws in any other jurisdictions to which an Obligor is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Collateral Agent (whether by
              judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law and the terms of the Loan Documents.  In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and
              shall be, credit bid by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a
              ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the
              equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase).  In connection with any such bid, (i) the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition
              vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Secured Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under
              this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided
              that any actions by the Collateral Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents
              shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of
              the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Collateral Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or
              vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Secured Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership
              interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Secured
              Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle
              exceeds the amount of Secured Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Secured Obligations
              and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of

             

            
              140

              
                

            

            such Secured Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.  Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Secured
              Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party
              (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the
              formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

             

            SECTION 8.13. Non-Extending Lenders. The Administrative Agent may treat any Revolving Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure of the Non-Extending Lenders that are outstanding at any time on or after the Non-Extended Revolver Termination Date
                  as a distinct Class of Revolving Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure from any outstanding Commitments, Loans and Credit Exposure of the Extending Lenders; provided that any such treatment is solely for administrative purposes and will not
                  affect any Lender’s rights or obligations hereunder.

            MISCELLANEOUS

             

            SECTION 9.01.   Notices; Electronic Communications.

             

            (a)         Notices Generally.  Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone, all notices and other communications provided for
              herein shall be (A) in writing and delivered by hand or overnight courier service or mailed by certified or registered mail, or (B) in the case of notices and other communications (x) solely among the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
              Agent, any Lender and/or any Secured Party, (y) given by the Administrative Agent to the Obligor that are solely administrative in nature (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any notice or other communications with respect to
              the subject-matter contained in Article VII of this Agreement, Section 8 of the Guarantee and Security Agreement, or otherwise in connection with any purported Default, Event of Default or exercise of remedies, which notices
              and other communications shall be delivered pursuant to clause (A) above); provided that to the extent that any notice or other communication is first provided by the Administrative Agent to the Obligor by telecopy or e-mail, such
              notice or other communication shall be deemed to be received (and shall be deemed to be sufficient notice for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended
              recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment, and no additional physical delivery pursuant to clause (A) above shall be required or (z) given by an Obligor,

            (iii)      if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or telecopy number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire.

             

            Any party hereto may change its address, telecopy number or e-mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.  All notices and other
              communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.  Notices delivered through

             

            
              142

              
                

            

            electronic communications to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b).

             

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

             

            Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement
              from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business
              hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received
              upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

             

            (c)     Posting of Communications.

             

            (i)        For so long as DebtdomainTM or an equivalent website is available to each of the Lenders hereunder, the Borrower may satisfy its obligation to deliver documents
              to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under Section 5.01 by delivering one hard copy thereof to the Administrative Agent or either an electronic copy or a notice identifying the website where such information is located for
              posting by the Administrative Agent on DebtdomainTM or such equivalent website; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to maintain access to DebtdomainTM or an equivalent website

             

            (ii)     The Obligors agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting
              the Communications on IntraLinksTM, DebtdomainTM, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

             

            (iii)     Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or
              modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Restatement Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby
              each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of

             

            
              143

              
                

            

            the Lenders and each of the Obligors acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not
              responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution.  Each of the Lenders
              and each Obligor hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

             

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

             

            (v)      Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall
              constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.03 if such Lender has notified
              the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.  Each Lender agrees (A) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication)
              from time to time of such Lender’s email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (B) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

             

            (vi)      Each of the Lenders and Obligors agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be  required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the
              Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the

             

            
              144

              
                

            

            Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention policies and procedures.

             

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

             

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

             

            SECTION 9.02.   Waivers; Amendments.

             

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

             

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

             

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

             

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

             

            (iii)     postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees or other amounts payable to a Lender hereunder,
              or reduce the amount or waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the

             

            
              145

              
                

            

            scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,

             

            (iv)     change Sections 2.06(b) or (d), 2.08(e) or 2.15(b), (c) or (d) (or other sections referred to therein to the extent
              relating to pro rata payments) in a manner that would alter the pro rata reduction of commitments, sharing of payments, or making of disbursements, required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,

             

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

             

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

             

            (vii)     permit the assignment or transfer by any Obligor of any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document without the consent of each Lender;

             

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

             

            Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the
              Lenders of any Class in a manner that does not affect all Classes equally shall be effective against the Lenders of such Class unless the Required Lenders of such Class shall have concurred with such waiver, amendment or modification as
              provided above; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, in no other circumstances shall the concurrence of the Required Lenders of a particular Class be required for any waiver, amendment or modification of any
              provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be
                  amended by the Borrower with the consent of the Administrative Agent and any Non-Extending Lender (but without the consent of any other Lender) for the sole purpose of extending the Commitments of such Non-Extending Lender so that such
                  Non-Extending Lender becomes an Extending Lender hereunder.  Any Non-Extending Lender that has had all of its obligations under this Agreement and each other Loan Document paid in full shall cease to be a Lender under the Loan Documents
                  following the earlier

             

            
              146

              
                

            

            to occur of (i) the Non-Extended Maturity Date and (ii) the termination of such Non-Extending Lender’s Commitment in its entirety pursuant to Section
                2.06(f), except with respect to any provision applicable to such Non-Extending Lender that expressly survives the termination of a Loan Document.

             

            (c)       Amendments to Security Documents.  No Security Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified, except to the extent otherwise expressly contemplated
              by the Guarantee and Security Agreement or the Custodial and Account Control Agreement, as applicable, and the Liens granted under the Guarantee and Security Agreement may not be spread to secure any additional obligations (including any
              increase in Loans hereunder, but excluding any such increase pursuant to a Commitment Increase under Section 2.06(e)) except to the extent otherwise expressly contemplated by the Guarantee and
                Security Agreement and except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, and by the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, subject to Section
                2.16(b), (i) without the written consent of the holders exceeding 67% of the total Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Commitments, no such waiver, amendment or modification to the Guarantee and Security Agreement shall (A) release
              any Obligor representing more than 10% of the Stockholders’ Equity from its obligations under the Security Documents, (B) release any guarantor representing more than 10% of the Stockholders’ Equity under the Guarantee and Security Agreement
              from its guarantee obligations thereunder, or (C) amend the definition of “Collateral” under the Security Documents (except to add additional collateral) and (ii) without the written consent of each Lender, no such agreement shall (W) release
              all or substantially all of the Obligors from their respective obligations under the Security Documents, (X) release all or substantially all of the collateral security or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the Liens under the
              Security Documents, (Y) release all or substantially all of the guarantors under the Guarantee and Security Agreement from their guarantee obligations thereunder, or (Z) alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the Liens
              created under the Security Documents (except in connection with securing additional obligations equally and ratably with the Loans and other obligations hereunder) with respect to the collateral security provided thereby, including pursuant
              to Section 8.06 of the Guarantee and Security Agreement; except that no such consent described in clause (i) or (ii) above shall be required, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized (and so agrees with the Borrower) to direct the
              Collateral Agent under the Guarantee and Security Agreement, to release any Lien covering property (and to release any such guarantor) that is the subject of either a disposition of property permitted hereunder or a disposition to which the
              Required Lenders or the required number or percentage of Lenders have consented, or otherwise in accordance with Section 9.15.

             

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

            at the time of such replacement, each such replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination.

             

            (e)       Ambiguity, Omission, Mistake or Typographical Error.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting together identify any ambiguity,
              omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such
              ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

             

            SECTION 9.03.   Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

             

            (a)       Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
              Agent and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one outside counsel and of any necessary special and/or local counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent collectively (other than the
              allocated costs of internal counsel), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration (other than internal overhead charges) of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
              and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), including all costs and expenses of the Independent Valuation Provider,
              (ii) all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any
              Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made, including all such
              out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other charges incurred in connection with any
              filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by any Security Document or any other document referred to therein.

             

            (b)      Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such
              Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (other than Taxes or Other Taxes which shall only be indemnified by the
              Borrower to the extent provided in Section 2.14), including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (other than the allocated costs of internal counsel), incurred by or asserted
              against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective
              obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby (including any arrangement entered into with an Independent Valuation Provider), (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom or
              (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether brought

             

            
              148

              
                

            

            by the Borrower, any Indemnitee or a third party and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
              that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such
              Indemnitee, (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for material breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and
              non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) result from a claim not involving an act or omission of the Borrower and that is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee
              (other than against the arranger or the Administrative Agent in their capacities as such).

             

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

             

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

             

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

             

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

             

            (f)        No Fiduciary Relationship. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”)

             

            
              149

              
                

            

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

             

            SECTION 9.04.   Successors and Assigns.

             

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

             

            (b)       Assignments by Lenders.

             

            (i)       Assignments Generally.  Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
              rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and

             

            
              150

              
                

            

            the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of:

             

            (A)        the Borrower; provided that (i) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (x) having a
              rating of “A3” by Moody’s or “A-” by S&P, (y) being of substantially equivalent creditworthiness to an entity having a rating of “A3” by Moody’s or “A-” by S&P (as reasonably determined by the Borrower) or (z) being of substantially
              equivalent creditworthiness to the applicable assignor (as reasonably determined by the Borrower), or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any
              such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received written notice thereof; and

            

            

            (B)         the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an
              Affiliate of a Lender with prior written notice by such assigning Lender to the Administrative Agent.

            

            

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

             

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

             

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

             

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

             

            
              151

              
                

            

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

             

            (iii)     Effectiveness of Assignments.  Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date
              specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and
              the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the
              assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 with respect
              to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated
              for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section.

             

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

             

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

             

            (e)       Special Purposes Vehicles.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle
              (an “SPC”) owned or administered by such Granting Lender, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such
              Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any

             

            
              152

              
                

            

            Loan by any SPC, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, make such Loan
              pursuant to the terms hereof, (iii) the rights of any such SPC shall be solely derivative of the rights of the Granting Lender, and such SPC shall be subject to all of the restrictions upon the Granting Lender herein contained, and (iv) no
              SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12 (or any other increased costs protection provision), 2.13 or 2.14.  Each SPC shall be conclusively presumed to have made arrangements with its Granting Lender for
              the exercise of voting and other rights hereunder in a manner which is acceptable to the SPC, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, and each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Obligors shall be entitled to rely
              upon and deal solely with the Granting Lender with respect to Loans made by or through its SPC.  The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made
              by the Granting Lender.

             

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

             

            (f)       Participations.  Any Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and
              obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
              shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely
              and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement  and the other Loan Documents.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that
              such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment,

             

            
              153

              
                

            

            modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
              Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
              entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including Sections 2.14(f) and (g) (it being understood that the documentation required
              under Sections 2.14(f) and (g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided
              that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.17 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and
              expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.17 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits
              of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(d) as though it were a Lender hereunder.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose
              as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts and stated interest of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the
              Loan Documents (each a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating
              to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of
              credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in each Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person
              whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the
              Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

             

            (g)       Limitations on Rights of Participants.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.13 than the applicable
              Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.  A Participant that would be a
              Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless such Participant agrees to comply with Section 2.14(f) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that that the documentation
              required under Section 2.14(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

             

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

             

            
              154

              
                

            

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

             

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

             

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

             

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

             

            (a)       Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
              constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute
              the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section

                4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each
              of the other parties

             

            
              155

              
                

            

            hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  Delivery of an executed
              counterpart of a signature page

             

            to this Agreement by telecopy or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

             

            (b)       Electronic Execution of Assignments.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include
              electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may
              be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on
              the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

             

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

             

            SECTION 9.08.  Right of Set-off.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time
              to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever Currency) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such
              Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any of and all the obligations of any Obligor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender, irrespective of
              whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured, or 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.  The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender
              or Affiliate may have; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in
              accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (b)
              the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  Each Lender agrees promptly to
              notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

             

            SECTION 9.09.   Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

             

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

             

            
              156

              
                

            

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

             

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

             

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

             

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

             

            SECTION 9.11.   Judgment Currency.  This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or any Foreign Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified
                Currency”) and payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency (the “Specified Place”) is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Loans denominated
              in the Specified Currency.  Subject to Section

             

            
              157

              
                

            

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

             

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

             

            SECTION 9.13.   Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

             

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

              may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and/or their Affiliates.

             

            (b)     Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be
              disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and consultants and to its and its Affiliates’ and consultants’

             

            
              158

              
                

            

            respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature
              of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the
              extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or
              proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of
              or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction
              relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) on a confidential basis to (i) any insurer, (ii) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the Loans and (iii) the
              CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans, (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
              Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower who, to the applicable recipient’s actual knowledge, did not
              acquire such information as a result of a breach of this Section or (j) in connection with the Lenders’ right to grant a security interest pursuant to Section 9.04(h) to the Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, or subject
              to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any other pledgee or assignee pursuant to Section 9.04(h).

             

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

             

            SECTION 9.14.   USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record
              information that identifies each Obligor, which information includes the name and address of each Obligor and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Obligor in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.  The Obligors shall,
              promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable
              “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules

             

            
              159

              
                

            

            and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation (including, without limitation, delivery to such Lender of a Beneficial Ownership Certification).

             

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

             

            SECTION 9.16.  Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEAAffected 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 EEAAffected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEAthe 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 an EEAthe applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto
              that is an EEAAffected 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 EEAAffected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that
              may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

             

            (iii)        the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEAthe applicable Resolution Authority.

             

            SECTION 9.17.   Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents
              shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest
              shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the
              Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than

             

            
              160

              
                

            

            interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of
              the obligations hereunder.

             

            SECTION 9.18.   Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or
                otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC
                  Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows
                with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations
                promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below
                applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

             

            (a)       In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such
                Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S.
                Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered
                Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that
                may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by

            SECTION 9.19.   Amendment and Restatement.  On the Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its
                entirety by this Agreement, and the Existing Credit Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force and effect, except to evidence (i) the incurrence by the Borrower of the obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement (whether
              or not such obligations are contingent as of the Restatement Effective Date), (ii) the representations and warranties made by the Borrower prior to the Restatement Effective Date and (iii) any action or omission performed or required to be
              performed pursuant to such Existing Credit Agreement prior to the Restatement Effective Date (including any failure, prior to the Restatement Effective Date, to comply with the covenants contained in such Existing Credit Agreement).  The
              amendments and restatements set forth herein shall not cure any breach thereof or any “Default” or “Event of Default” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement prior to the Restatement Effective Date. It is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the Existing Credit Agreement be amended and restated hereunder so as to preserve the perfection and priority of all Liens securing the Secured Obligations under the Loan
                Documents and that all Secured Obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall continue to be secured by Liens evidenced under the Security Documents, and that this Agreement does not constitute a novation or
                termination of the Indebtedness and obligations existing under the Existing Credit Agreement.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and
              the other Loan Documents shall apply to all of the obligations incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement.  This amendment and restatement is limited as written and is not a consent to any other amendment, restatement or waiver, whether or
              not similar and, unless specifically amended hereby or by any other Loan Document, each of the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect and, from and after the Restatement Effective Date, all
                references to the “Credit Agreement” contained therein shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement.

    This AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO AMENDED & RESTATED SENIOR SECURED REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) with respect to the Amended & Restated
      Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of May 6, 2019 (as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to Amended & Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of April 9, 2020, and as further amended, restated, supplemented or
      otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), is made as of April 17,
      2020, among SPECIAL VALUE CONTINUATION PARTNERS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), 36TH STREET CAPITAL PARTNERS HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Subsidiary Guarantor”), STIFEL
      BANK & TRUST (the “New Extending Lender”) and ING CAPITAL LLC, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement (as amended
      hereby).

     

    W I T N E S S E T H:

    

    

    WHEREAS, pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, the Lenders have made certain loans and other extensions of credit to the Borrower;

    

    

    WHEREAS, Stifel Bank & Trust, as a Non-Extending Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement, has requested to become an Extending Lender under the Credit Agreement; and

    

    

    WHEREAS, in connection with the foregoing and pursuant to Section 9.02(b) of the Existing Credit Agreement, the parties hereto have agreed to amend certain provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement
      on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Amendment.

    

    

    NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
      acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

    

    

    SECTION I          AMENDMENT TO EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT

     

    Effective as of the Effective Date (as defined below), the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

    

    

    1.1.          Schedule 1.01(b) to the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as provided on Schedule 1.01(b) attached hereto as Annex A.

     

    

    

    SECTION II  MISCELLANEOUS

     

    2.1.           Conditions to Effectiveness of Amendment.  This Amendment shall become effective as of the date (such date, the “Effective Date”) on which each of the following conditions precedent

     

    

    
      
        

    

    
    have been satisfied (unless a condition shall have been waived in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement):

     

    (a)        Documents. The Administrative Agent shall have received either (1) a counterpart of this Amendment signed on behalf of each of the Borrower and the New Extending
      Lender or (2) written evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include telecopy transmission or electronic mail of a signed signature page to this Amendment) that such party has signed a counterpart of this Amendment.

     

    (b)        Fees and Expenses.  The Borrower shall have paid in full to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the New Extending Lender any extension fee due in
      connection with this Amendment on the Effective Date.

     

    (c)        Other Documents. The Administrative Agent shall have received such other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

     

    2.2.           Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken
      together shall constitute a single contract. This Amendment constitutes the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
      relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telecopy or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

     

    2.3.           Payment of Expenses.  The Borrower agrees to pay and reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this
      Amendment, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of legal counsel to the Administrative Agent (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the allocated costs of internal counsel), in each case solely to the
      extent the Borrower is otherwise required to do so pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.

     

    2.4.            GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     

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

     

    
      2

      
        

    

    2.6.            Incorporation of Certain Provisions.  The provisions of Sections 9.01, 9.03, 9.07, 9.09, 9.12 and 9.13 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference mutatis mutandis as if fully set forth herein.

     

    2.7.           Effect of Amendment.  This Amendment is not intended by the parties to be, and shall not be construed to be, a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Security Agreement or
      any other Loan Document or an accord and satisfaction in regard thereto. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of
      the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantor under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and, except as expressly set forth herein, shall not alter, modify, amend or in any
      way affect any of the other terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and
      effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Person to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or
      any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. This Amendment shall apply and be effective only with respect to the provisions amended herein of the Existing Credit Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference
      in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of similar import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment and each reference in any other Loan Document shall mean the
      Credit Agreement as amended hereby. This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document.

     

    2.8.           Consent and Affirmation.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, by its execution hereof, each of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantor hereby to the extent applicable as of the
      Effective Date (a) consents to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) agrees that the Guarantee and Security Agreement and each of the other Security Documents is in full force and effect, (c) confirms its guarantee (solely in
      the case of Subsidiary Guarantors) and affirms its obligations under the Loan Documents and confirms its grant of a security interest in its assets as Collateral for the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement), and
      (d) acknowledges and affirms that such guarantee and/or grant, as applicable, is in full force and effect in respect of, and to secure, the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement).

     

     2.9.           Release.  Each of the Borrower and the other Obligors hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (a) neither it nor any of its Affiliates has any claim or cause of action against the Administrative
      Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants or agents) under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and each other document entered into in
      connection therewith) in connection with the subject matter of this Amendment, and (b) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender has heretofore properly performed and satisfied in a timely manner all of its obligations to the
      Obligors and their Affiliates under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and each other document entered into in connection therewith) that are required to have been performed on or prior to the date hereof in connection with the
      subject

     

    

    
      3

      
        

    

    matter of this Amendment.  Accordingly, for and in consideration of the agreements contained in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, each of the Borrower and the other Obligors (for itself and its
      Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Releasors”) does hereby fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably release and forever discharge the Administrative Agent, the
      Collateral Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all debts, claims, obligations, damages, costs,
      attorneys’ fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in equity, under
      contract, tort, statute or otherwise, which any Releasor has heretofore had or now or hereafter can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be done on or prior to the date
      hereof directly arising out of, connected with or related to in connection with the subject matter of this Amendment, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, or the agreements of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent
      or any Lender contained herein.
