Exhibit 99.(k)(10)

CREDIT AGREEMENT

This CREDIT AGREEMENT (together with any schedules, exhibits, annexes or appendices hereto, the “Agreement”) is entered into as of June 27, 2023, by and among Infinity Core Alternative Fund, a Maryland statutory trust (“Borrower”), Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as lender (“Lender”) and Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent, collateral agent and calculation agent for Lender (“Agent”).

Borrower has requested that Lender provide a revolving credit facility, and Lender is willing to do so on the terms and conditions set forth herein. In consideration of the premises contained herein, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.	INTERPRETATION

(a) Definitions. The terms defined in Annex I (Definitions; Construction) to this Agreement and in any schedules, exhibits, annexes or appendices hereto will have the meanings specified therein for purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Principles of Construction. The principles of interpretation and construction set forth in Annex I (Definitions; Construction) shall apply in respect of this Agreement and each of the Facility Documents.

2.	ADVANCES

(a) Commitment. Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make loans (each such loan, an “Advance”) to Borrower in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed an amount that would cause (x) the Total Accrued Loan Amount to exceed the Maximum Loan Amount or (y) the Loan Principal Amount to exceed the Facility Amount. Subject to the other terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may borrow, prepay, and reborrow Advances.

(b) Notice of Borrowing. In order to request an Advance, Borrower shall deliver an irrevocable written notice (a “Notice of Borrowing”), which notice shall be received by Agent no later than 12:00 p.m. (or such later time as agreed by Agent in its sole discretion), New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such proposed Advance; provided that Lender will use best efforts to fund an Advance upon request on any Business Day if Borrower delivers a Notice of Borrowing that is received by Agent no later than 12:00 p.m. New York City time on such Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A (Form of Notice of Borrowing). If a Notice of Borrowing is not received by the time referred to in this Section 2(b) (Notice of Borrowing), it may be deemed by Agent to have been received on the next following Business Day. Borrower may request Advances no more than four (4) times in any calendar month (unless otherwise agreed by Agent).

(c) Advances. Each Advance shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $100,000 (or such other amount as Lender may accept). Subject to the terms and conditions specified herein, Lender shall, no later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the date specified in the Borrowing Notice, make an Advance to Borrower by depositing funds in the amount of such Advance into the account of Borrower specified in Annex II (Borrower Information).

(d) Final Repayment. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises on the Maturity Date to repay to Lender the Total Accrued Loan Amount.

(e) Optional Prepayment. Borrower shall have the right, without premium or penalty but subject to Section 2(r) (Funding Losses), to prepay all or a portion of the Advances together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that each optional partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $100,000 (or such other amount as Lender may accept). Borrower shall notify Agent by telephone (confirmed in writing) or electronic mail or messaging of any prepayment, such notice to be given not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of the prepayment, or such later time as agreed by Agent in its sole discretion (the “Optional Prepayment Date”). Each notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the Optional Prepayment Date, which in all cases shall be a Business Day, (ii) the principal amount to be prepaid and (iii) the amount of interest to be prepaid. Borrower may make optional prepayments no more than four (4) times in any calendar month (unless waived by Lender in its sole discretion).

(f) Mandatory Prepayment. If on any day the Loan Principal Amount exceeds the Facility Amount, such excess amount shall upon notice from Agent be due and payable by Borrower to Lender within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such notice.

(g) Illegality. If Lender shall notify Agent and Borrower that any Law makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful for Lender to maintain the Commitment or to make or maintain any Advances hereunder (an “Illegality Event”), the Commitment shall, upon not less than ten (10) days’ advanced written notice to Borrower, be terminated and Agent may, upon such termination, accelerate Borrower’s obligation to repay the Total Accrued Loan Amount.

(h) Ordinary Interest. Borrower shall pay Agent for the account of Lender interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Advance, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Interest Rate. The Applicable Interest Rate shall accrue daily and shall be computed by Agent based on a year of 360 days and actual days in the applicable Interest Period. Agent shall provide notice to Borrower of the amount of interest due at least one (1) Business Day prior to each Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that the failure of Agent to provide such notice shall not in any manner affect Borrower’s obligation to pay such interest. The foregoing interest amount shall accrue at all times from the date of each Advance until such amount shall be paid in full, and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.

(i) Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay Agent for the account of Lender a Commitment Fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for each day during each Commitment Fee Period equal to the product of (A) the Commitment Fee Rate times (B) an amount equal to the greater of (1)(x) the Facility Amount less (y) the Loan Principal Amount on such day and (2) zero. The Commitment Fee shall be computed daily by Agent based on a year of 360 days and the actual days in each Commitment Fee Period, and Agent shall provide notice to Borrower of the amount of the Commitment Fee due for each Commitment Fee Period no later than the Business Day prior to each Commitment Fee Payment Date; provided, however, that the failure of Agent to provide such notice shall not in any manner affect Borrower’s obligation to pay such Commitment Fee. The foregoing Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until (but excluding) the Maturity Date, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 3 (Conditions Precedent to Closing and to Making Advances) is not met.

(j) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the election of Lender made upon written notice to Borrower, Borrower shall pay on written demand (and in any event in arrears on the date such amount shall be due and payable hereunder) the amount of any principal, interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Interest Rate (in each case determined as if no Event of Default had occurred) plus two percent (2%). Such amounts shall accrue daily and be compounded on a monthly basis.

(k) Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the interest paid or agreed to be paid hereunder shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”). If Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Advances or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by Lender exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, Lender may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of this Agreement.

(l) [Reserved].

(m) Extension of Maturity; Increase of Facility Amount.

(i) Borrower may, by notice to Agent not earlier than two hundred and ten (210) days and not later than thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date then in effect, request that Lender extend the Maturity Date, and upon the written consent of Lender thereto, which Lender may provide in its sole discretion, the parties shall enter into an amendment substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto extending the Maturity Date to the date agreed in writing by the parties; provided that if such date is not a Business Day, such Maturity Date as so extended shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. As a condition precedent to such extension, Borrower shall deliver to Agent (a) a new or updated Beneficial Ownership Certification, as applicable, in relation to Borrower if Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, if so requested by Agent and (b) a certificate addressed to Lender, signed by a Responsible Officer (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by Borrower approving or consenting to such extension and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4 (Representations and Warranties) and in the other Facility Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except that any such representation and warranty that contains a qualification as to materiality, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language is true and correct as written) as of the date thereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (except that any such representation and warranty that contains a qualification as to materiality, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language is true and correct as written) as of such earlier date, and (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Lender shall notify Borrower whether it agrees to extend the Maturity Date within ten (10) Business Days of Borrower’s request for such extension; provided that a failure by Lender to notify Borrower of its decision within the required timing, or in such other period as agreed between Lender and Borrower, shall be deemed a refusal by Lender to extend the Maturity Date.

(ii) Borrower may, by prior written notice to Agent, request an increase in the Facility Amount and upon the written consent of Lender thereto, which Lender may provide in its sole discretion, the parties shall enter into an amendment substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto increasing the Facility Amount to an amount agreed in writing by the parties. As a condition precedent to such increase, Borrower shall deliver to Agent (a) a new or updated Beneficial Ownership Certification, as applicable, in relation to Borrower if Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, if so requested by Agent and (b) a certificate addressed to Lender, and dated as of the effective date of such increase, signed by a Responsible Officer (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by Borrower approving or consenting to such increase and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4 (Representations and Warranties) and in the other Facility Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except that any such representation and warranty that contains a qualification as to materiality, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language is true and correct as written)on and as of the date thereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (except that any such representation and warranty that contains a qualification as to materiality, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language is true and correct as written) as of such earlier date, and (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Lender shall notify Borrower whether it agrees to increase the Facility Amount within ten (10) Business Days of Borrower’s request for such increase; provided that a failure by Lender to notify Borrower of its decision within the required timing, or in such other period as agreed between Lender and Borrower, shall be deemed a refusal by Lender to increase the Facility Amount.

(n)

Payments and Computations.

(i) Borrower shall make each payment hereunder not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day when due in Dollars to Agent in immediately available funds. All payments received by Agent after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, shall, at the election of Agent, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(ii) Whenever any payment hereunder would be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or any fees, as the case may be.

(iii) All payments (including, without limitation, prepayments and any other amounts received hereunder in connection with the exercise of Lender’s rights after an Event of Default) made by Borrower under any Facility Document shall be applied to amounts then due and payable in the following order: (1) to any expenses and indemnities due and payable under any Facility Document; (2) to any accrued and unpaid interest and fees due under this Agreement; (3) to principal payments on the outstanding Advances; and (4) to the extent of any excess, to the payment of all other obligations of Borrower then due and owing under the Facility Documents.

(o)

Taxes.

(i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2(o), the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(ii) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Advance shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the sole discretion of Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Agent, then Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding for such Indemnified Taxes has been made (including such deductions and withholdings for such Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding for Indemnified Tax been made.

(iii) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(iv) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(v) Indemnification by Lender. Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for (1) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) and (2) any Excluded Taxes attributable to Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any Advance, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to Lender under any Advance or otherwise payable by Agent to Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this paragraph (v).

(vi) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2(o), Borrower shall deliver to 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 Agent.

(vii) Status of Lender. (1) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Advance shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not 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(o)(vii)(2)(A), (2)(B) and (2)(D) below) shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender.

(2) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

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

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

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

(2) properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that the Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W- 8BEN, or IRS Form W- 8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or C-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner of such Foreign Lender, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of the Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Advance would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if 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), Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that Lender has complied with Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(viii) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party 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 pursuant to this Section 2(o) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2(o)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (viii) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (viii), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (viii) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(ix) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2(o) shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Lender, the termination of the Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Advance.

(p) Increased Cost. Without duplication of any amounts payable by Borrower pursuant to Section 8(f) (Indemnification by Borrower), Borrower shall reimburse or compensate Lender, within ten (10) Business Days upon written demand, for all documented costs incurred, losses suffered or payments made by Lender as a result of the Transaction after the date hereof, and the imposition on Lender of any and all actual reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirements against (or against any class of or change in or in the amount of) assets, liabilities or commitments of, or extensions of credit by, Lender hereunder or the adoption of or any change in any requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof after the date hereof; and compliance by Lender with any directive, or requirements from any regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law (including any Tax or increased Tax of any kind (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto) hereunder. Any Lender entitled to claim reimbursement or compensation pursuant this Section 2(p) (Increased Cost) shall promptly notify Borrower (with a copy to Agent) of the event with reasonable detail by reason of which it has become so entitled; provided that no failure or delay on the part of such Lender to so notify shall constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to such compensation.

(q) Evidence of Indebtedness. Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender resulting from each Advance made by Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal, interest and fees payable and paid to Lender from time to time hereunder. The entries maintained in such accounts shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay such obligations in accordance with their terms. No promissory note shall be required to evidence the Advances by Lender to Borrower.

(r) Funding Losses. Within ten (10) Business Days upon written demand of Lender from time to time (and delivery of the certificate described below), Borrower shall promptly compensate Lender for and hold Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of (i) any payment or prepayment of any Advance on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, early prepayment or otherwise), (ii) any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of Lender to make an Advance) to borrow or prepay any Advance on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, including any actual loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Advance or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or (iii) any Benchmark Replacement Date occurring other than on an Interest Payment Date. A certificate of Lender as to the amount of such losses, costs and expenses, submitted to Borrower and showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, shall be conclusive as to the amount of such losses, costs and expenses, absent manifest error.

(s) [Reserved.]

(t) Early Termination by Borrower. Borrower may elect to terminate the Commitment (and any such termination shall reduce the Facility Amount on a dollar for dollar basis) in whole or in part on any Business Day by delivering irrevocable written notice to Agent not less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the proposed date of termination. In the event the Commitment is terminated by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2(t) (Early Termination by Borrower), Borrower shall pay to Lender on the date of such termination (i) (A) in the case of a termination in whole, the Total Accrued Loan Amount or (B) in the case of a partial termination, a portion of the outstanding Loan Principal Amount, if any, necessary to cause the Total Accrued Loan Amount (after giving effect to any such prepayment) not to exceed the Maximum Loan Amount and the Loan Principal Amount (after giving effect to any such prepayment) not to exceed the Facility Amount, in each case together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees (in the case of any partial termination, on the Loan Principal Amount repaid in connection therewith), and any other costs, fees or other amounts due and owing by Borrower to Lender hereunder and (ii) the Early Termination Fee.

(u) Early Termination by Agent. Agent may elect to terminate the Commitment in whole, without premium or penalty, on any Business Day by delivering irrevocable written notice to Borrower not less than one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days prior to the proposed date of termination. In the event the Commitment is terminated by Agent pursuant to this Section 2(u) (Early Termination by Agent), Borrower shall pay to Lender on the date of such termination the Total Accrued Loan Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, no Early Termination Fee shall be due in the event of any termination of the Commitment pursuant to this Section 2(u) (Early Termination by Agent).

(v) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the Benchmark Replacement will replace the former Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Facility Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Facility Document.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time in consultation with Borrower and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Facility Document.

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Agent will promptly notify Borrower and Lender of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event; (ii) the proposed implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (iii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. Agent will promptly notify Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2(v)(iv) (Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark) and the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Agent pursuant to this Section 2(v), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Facility Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2(v).

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then- current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) Borrower may revoke any pending request for an Advance to be made during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of an Advance bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Spread, and (ii) interest on each outstanding affected Advances during any Benchmark Unavailability Period shall accrue daily at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Spread.

(w) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR, Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Facility Document. Agent will promptly notify Borrower of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR.

(x) Rates. Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Applicable Interest Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to Borrower.

If Lender requests compensation under Sections 2(p) or termination of the commitments pursuant to Section 2(g), or if Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of Lender pursuant to Section 2(o), then Lender shall, at the election of Borrower, use reasonable efforts to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if, in the reasonable judgment of Lender such assignment or designation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2(g), 2(p) or 2(o), as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such assignment or designation promptly following Lender’s written request therefor.

8.	MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Amendments, etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Facility Document, and no consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by Lender and Borrower and acknowledged by Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

(b) Notices and Other Communications. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including by electronic mail) and delivered to such addresses set forth on Annex III (Notices). All notices and other communications shall be deemed to be effective upon delivery to such numbers or addresses as set forth on Annex III (Notices). Lender and Agent shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.

(c) Appointment as Agent. Lender irrevocably appoints Agent as its agent under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents and authorizes Agent or any Affiliate of Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms of the Facility Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Facility Documents.

(d) No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of Lender or Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder, or under any other Facility Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall the single or partial exercise, of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Agent or Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

(e) Costs and Expenses.

(i) Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse on demand (A) all reasonable out-of-pocket and documented costs and expenses of Agent and Lender (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of one counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) in connection with any amendment of or consent or waiver in respect of any Facility Document and (B) all costs and out- pocket and documented expenses of Agent and Lender (including legal fees and expenses of one counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Facility Documents. All such costs and expenses shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days of demand therefor.

(f) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Agent, 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 (including the fees, out- of-pocket and documented fees charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel, plus any local counsel in any applicable jurisdiction or special counsel or additional counsel required as a result of any conflict, for the Indemnities, taken as a whole) actually incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Borrower or any Related Party of Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of Agent and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, (ii) any Advance or the use or proposed 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, whether brought by a third party or by Borrower or any other Related Party of Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof. No Indemnitee shall have any liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages relating to this Agreement or any other Facility Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the date hereof). This Section 8(f) (Indemnification by Borrower) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

(g) Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to Lender, or Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding relating to Borrower under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred and all Liens in favor of Agent or Lender released in connection with such payment or setoff shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such release had not occurred.

(h)

Successors and Assigns.

(i) 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. Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender and Agent. Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (including by way of participation) to any Person other than (A) a natural person, Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower or (B), solely if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a Disqualified Institution. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may pledge or assign or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of Lender to any federal reserve bank. 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 Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(ii) Agent or any designee, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender (including any permitted assignee), and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Agent, and each Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes herein. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(iii) With respect to any participation granted by Lender in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations hereunder as permitted hereby, such Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of 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 Advances or other obligations hereunder (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes herein notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no obligation to maintain a Participant Register. Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2(o) (Taxes) and 2(p) (Increased Cost) (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2(o)(vii) (Status of Lender) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2(o)(vii) (Status of Lender) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (i) of this Section; provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2(p) (Increased Cost) and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2(o) (Taxes) and Section 2(p) (Increased Cost), with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation.

(i) Governing Law. This Agreement and each other Facility Document shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions other than Section 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law.

(j) Submission to Jurisdiction; Process; Waiver of Venue. Each party hereto hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court and each state court in the State of New York (and all appellate courts) located in New York County for the purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 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 and, for the purpose of such enforcement, each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of any such other jurisdiction in which such judgment is sought to be enforced. Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to Borrower at its address set forth in Annex III (Notices). Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law. Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(k) Process Agent. If Borrower does not have a place of business in the United States or any state or other political subdivision thereof, Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Process Agent, as its authorized agent, to accept and acknowledge on its behalf, service of any and all process which may be served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature, and hereby consents to process being served upon the Process Agent in any such suit, action or proceeding. Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all claim of error by reason of any such service and agrees that such service shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon Borrower in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid and personal service upon and personal delivery to Borrower. Nothing in this provision shall affect the right of Agent or Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or limit the right of Agent or Lender to bring proceedings against Borrower in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions. Borrower represents and warrants that the Process Agent has agreed in writing to accept such appointment and that a true copy of such designation and acceptance has been delivered to Agent. Such designation and appointment shall be irrevocable until all principal, interest, fees and all other amounts payable under this Agreement shall have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions hereof. If such agent shall cease so to act, Borrower covenants and agrees to designate irrevocably and appoint without delay another such agent satisfactory to Agent and to deliver promptly to Agent and Lender evidence in writing of such other agent’s acceptance of such appointment.

(l) Sovereign Immunity. To the extent that any party hereto has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) under the laws of any jurisdiction from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property (including the Collateral in the case of Borrower), such party hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of any action brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement or any Facility Document or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Facility Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. For the avoidance of doubt, the irrevocable waiver by each party in this clause includes, without limitation, a waiver of any right of immunity (sovereign or otherwise) of such party or its property (including the Collateral in the case of Borrower) in respect of pre- judgment interim relief and any process for the post- judgment execution or enforcement in any jurisdiction of any judgment.

(m) Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFC’s. To the extent that the Facility Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Derivative Transaction or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties to this Agreement 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 Regime”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Facility Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York or of the United States or any other state of the United States). In the event a Covered Entity that is a 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 QFC Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Facility 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 Facility Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(n) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY 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 ANY OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

(o) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (i) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(p) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Facility Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when Agent shall have received counterparts that bear the signatures of each of the parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(q) Survival.
