If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then- current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:

(A) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor;

(B) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective

upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and

(2) for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrowers for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and/or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the applicable Alternative Currency at such time; provided that, in the case of clause (1) of this definition, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion after consultation with the Borrowers.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” the definition of “Alternate Base Rate,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, Conversion Notices or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides in its reasonable discretion may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein;

(3) in the case of a Term SOFR Transition Event or a Term ESTR Transition Event, as applicable, the date that is thirty (30) days after the date a Term SOFR Notice or a Term ESTR Notice, as applicable, is provided to the Lenders and the Borrowers pursuant to Section 4.3(c); or

(4) in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the sixth (6^th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from the Required Lenders.

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

“Benchmark Transition Event” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:

Loan Document and (b) references to any Applicable Law shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such Applicable Law.

1.6 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR Rate Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, a Term ESTR Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election, Section 4.3(b) and Section 4.3(c) provide a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrowers, pursuant to Section 4.3(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on LIBOR Rate Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBOR” (or “EURIBOR”) or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 4.3(b) or Section 4.3(c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, a Term ESTR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 4.3(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBOR (or EURIBOR) or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate (or the euro interbank offered rate, as applicable) prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

1.7 Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents. Subject to the terms of this Credit Agreement, the Loans and Letters of Credit shall be available to the Borrowers in Dollars and Alternative Currencies, provided that the Available Commitment shall always be calculated in Dollars by converting that portion of the Loans and Letter of Credit Liability attributable to an Alternative Currency into its Dollar Equivalent. The Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, shall determine the applicable Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for making such calculations. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur.

1.8 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to mean the maximum face amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all increases thereof contemplated by such Letter of Credit or the Letter of Credit Application therefor (at the time specified therefor in such applicable Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application and as such amount may be reduced by (a) any permanent reduction of such Letter of Credit or (b) any amount which is drawn, reimbursed and no longer available under such Letter of Credit).

(vi) such Investor shall (i) repudiate, challenge, or declare unenforceable its obligation to make contributions pursuant to its Capital Commitment or a Capital Call or such obligation shall be or become unenforceable, (ii) otherwise disaffirm any provision of its Subscription Agreement, the Constituent Documents of any Borrower or the Guarantor, as applicable, its Investor Consent Letter or any Credit Link Document, or (iii) give any written notice of its intent to withdraw from the applicable Fund or that it may not fund future contributions pursuant to a Capital Call or comply with the provisions of its Subscription Agreement, the Constituent Documents of any Fund, as applicable, its Investor Consent Letter or any Credit Link Document;

(vii) any representation or warranty made by such Investor under its Subscription Agreement, Investor Consent Letter or Side Letter shall prove to be untrue, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect, as of the date on which such representation or warranty is made and, if such circumstances are curable, such circumstances remain uncured for thirty (30) days after the earlier of (A) the Administrative Agent’s delivery of notice thereof to the Borrowers and (B) a Responsible Officer of any Credit Party’s knowledge of such circumstance;

(viii) such Investor shall Transfer its membership interests or partnership interests in the applicable Fund in violation of this Credit Agreement and is released from its obligation under the applicable Subscription Agreement or Partnership Agreement to make Investor Capital Contributions; provided that, if such Investor shall Transfer less than all of its membership interests or partnership interests in the applicable Fund, only the Transferred portion shall be subject to exclusion;

(xi) the applicable Fund or its Fund GP suspends, cancels, reduces, excuses, terminates or abates the Unfunded Capital Commitment of such Investor without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, including as a result of an Investment Exclusion Event; provided that to the extent such suspension, cancellation, reduction, excuse, termination or abatement relates solely to a portion of such Investor’s Unfunded Capital Commitment, such Investor shall continue to

be a Borrowing Base Investor with respect to that portion of its Unfunded Capital Commitment not suspended, cancelled, reduced, excused, terminated or abated;

(xii) the Administrative Agent ceases to have a perfected first-priority security interest in the Unfunded Capital Commitment of such Investor (subject only to Permitted Liens);

(xiii) such Investor becomes a Sanctioned Person or, to any Credit Party’s or Administrative Agent’s knowledge, such Investor’s funds to be used in connection with funding Capital Calls are derived from illegal activities;

(xiv) (A) any Investor alters, amends or otherwise modifies its Side Letter and such changes are unacceptable in form and substance to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion because amended or changed provisions could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or (B) an Investor’s Side Letter picks up a provision from another’s Investor’s Side Letter via a “most favored nations” clause, which materially and adversely affects the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in each case in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion;

(xv) in the case of a Non-Rated Included Investor or Designated Investor, it shall fail to maintain a net worth (determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), measured at the end of each fiscal year of such Investor, of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the net worth of such Investor, Sponsor, Responsible Party, or Credit Provider as provided on its most recently available financial statements on the date of its initial designation as an Included Investor; provided that, the Administrative Agent shall conduct a reasonable review of such Investor and shall, after consultation with the applicable Fund, make a determination in its sole discretion whether or not such Investor shall remain an Included Investor; provided further that, if (x) such Investor thereafter regains its net worth (determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), (y) such Investor has a net worth of at least seventy-five (75%), as determined pursuant to this clause (xiv) and (z) no other Exclusion Events have occurred with respect to such Investor, such Investor shall be automatically restored to its original status as a Non-Rated Included Investor or Designated Investor (as applicable);

(xvi) in the case of each Investor that is a Rated Included Investor, either (A) with respect to an Investor described in clause (2) of the definition of “Included Investor”, the Administrative Agent has delivered five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Credit Parties that such Investor has failed to maintain the Applicable Requirement for such Investor required in the definition of “Applicable Requirement” in Section 1.1, of (B) with respect to any other Investor, a Responsible Officer of the applicable Fund or Administrative Agent has knowledge that such Investor has failed to maintain the Applicable Requirement for such Investor required in the definition of “Applicable Requirement” in Section 1.1; provided that, any investor that loses its status as Included Investor pursuant to this

Section 2.1(d)(xv) shall automatically become a Designated Investor; provided further that, if such Investor thereafter meets the Applicable Requirement, such Investor shall be automatically be restored to its original status as an Included Investor;

(xvii) the Uncalled Capital Commitment of such Investor ceases to be Collateral subject to a first priority perfected Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent; or

(xviii) with respect to any ERISA Investor who is otherwise a Borrowing Base Investor, a voluntary or involuntary proceeding shall have been commenced to terminate such Investor (including the provision of any notice of intent to terminate) or a “reportable event” shall have occurred pursuant to ERISA with respect to such ERISA Investor.

(e) Mandatory Prepayment. The Borrowers shall make a mandatory prepayment to the extent that the Principal Obligations exceed the Available Commitment (including, without limitation, as a result of an Exclusion Event).

Each such prepayment shall be made in such amount as will put the Borrowers in compliance with this Section 2.1(e) and shall be made promptly on demand or when any Credit Party becomes aware of, or reasonably should have become aware of, such excess, but in any event by the Required Payment Time. Unless otherwise required by law, upon: (x) a change in circumstances such that the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above no longer exist; or (y) the full and final payment of the Obligations (other than contingent Obligations that have not been asserted), the Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrowers any amounts remaining in the applicable account.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.1(e) to the contrary, in the event a mandatory prepayment has been triggered pursuant to clause (x) or (y) of this Section 2.1(e), no Borrower will withdraw funds from the Collateral Accounts (with respect to amounts that constitute part of the Collateral), unless, after giving effect to such withdrawal, sufficient funds remain on deposit in the Collateral Accounts (less any amounts which do not constitute part of the Collateral) to satisfy the Borrowers’ payment obligation with respect to the related mandatory prepayment.

If any excess calculated pursuant to Section 2.1(e) is attributable to undrawn Letters of Credit, the Borrowers shall promptly Cash Collateralize such excess with the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 2.14(h), as security for such portion of the Obligations. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, upon: (A) a change in circumstances such that the Dollar Equivalent of Principal Obligations no longer exceed the Available Commitment; or (B) the full and final payment of the Obligations and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, so long as no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrowers any amounts remaining in said Cash Collateral Account.

2.2 Revolving Credit Commitment. On the terms set forth herein and subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.1(b) and Section 6, each Lender severally agrees, on any Business Day during the Commitment Period, to make Loans to the Borrowers at any time

and from time to time in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding of such Lender’s Commitment at any such time; provided that, after making any such Loan: (a) such Lender’s Lender Pro Rata Share of the Principal Obligations funded by it would not exceed such Lender’s Commitment; and (b) the Principal Obligations would not exceed the Available Commitment. Subject to the foregoing limitations, the applicable conditions set forth in Section 6 and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow, repay without penalty or premium, and re-borrow hereunder, during the Commitment Period. Each Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be funded ratably by each Lender in accordance with its Lender Pro Rata Share (but subject to Section 2.3(f)). No Lender shall be obligated to fund any Loan if the interest rate applicable thereto under Section 2.6(a) would exceed the Maximum Rate in effect with respect to such Loan.

2.3 Manner of Borrowing.

(a) Request for Borrowing. Each Borrowing hereunder shall be made by one or more Borrowers. The applicable Borrower(s) shall give the Administrative Agent notice by facsimile or electronic mail of the date of each requested Borrowing hereunder (a “Request for Borrowing”), substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, and which notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent. Each Request for Borrowing: (i) shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of the Borrowing with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan in U.S. Dollars and four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of the Borrowing with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans in an Alternative Currency; (ii) shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of the Borrowing with respect to an Alternate Base Rate Loan in U.S. Dollars and five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of the Borrowing with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans in any other Alternative Currency; and (iii) must specify: (A) the amount of such Borrowing; (B) the Interest Option; (C) the Interest Period for LIBOR Rate Loans, if applicable; (D) the currency as Dollars or another Alternative Currency; and (E) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day. Any Request for Borrowing received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) in respect of a LIBOR Rate Loan or 11:00 a.m. in respect of an Alternate Base Rate Loan shall be deemed to have been given by the applicable Borrower(s) on the next succeeding Business Day. Each Request for Borrowing submitted by a Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the conditions specified in Sections 6.1 (with respect to the initial advance under this Credit Agreement), 6.2, and if applicable, 6.3 have been satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable Borrowing. No Request for Borrowing shall be valid hereunder for any purpose unless it shall have been accompanied or preceded by the information and other documents required to be delivered in accordance with this Section 2.3.

(b) Further Information. Each Request for Borrowing shall be accompanied or preceded by: (i) a Borrowing Request Borrowing Base Certificate dated the date of such Request for Borrowing; and (ii) such documents as are required to satisfy any applicable conditions precedent as provided in Sections 6.1 (with respect to the initial advance under this Credit Agreement), 6.2, and if applicable, 6.3 (with respect to the initial advance under this Credit Agreement to each Qualified Borrower).

(c) Notification of Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of any Request for Borrowing.

(d) Irrevocability of Requests for Borrowing. Requests for Borrowings shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers and the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against any cost, loss or expense incurred by such Lender, either directly or indirectly, as a result of any failure by the Borrowers to complete such requested Borrowing, including any cost, loss or expense incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, either directly or indirectly by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by such Lender in order to fund such requested Borrowing except to the extent such cost, loss or expense is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the amount of any such cost, loss or expense, and the basis for the determination thereof and the calculation thereof, shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall, in the absence of a manifest error, be conclusive and binding.

(e) Lender’s Commitment. Each Lender shall make such Loan in accordance with its Lender Pro Rata Share (but subject to Section 2.3(f)). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.3(e) or elsewhere in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall be obligated to provide the Administrative Agent or any Borrower with funds in connection with a Loan in an amount that would result in the Loans then funded by it exceeding its Commitment then in effect. The obligation of each Lender to remit its Lender Pro Rata Share of any such Loan requested of it shall be several from that of each other Lender, and the failure of any Lender to so make such amount available to the Administrative Agent shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder.

(f) Defaulting Lender. If, by 3:00 p.m. on any funding date, one or more Lenders (each Lender other than any Defaulting Lender being referred to as a “Non-Defaulting Lender”) fails to make its share of any Loan available to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.5 (the aggregate amount not so made available to the Administrative Agent being herein called the “Loan Deficit”), then the Administrative Agent shall, by no later than 3:30 p.m. on the applicable funding date instruct each Non-Defaulting Lender to pay, by no later than 4:00 p.m. on such date, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) such Non-Defaulting Lender’s proportionate share (based upon the relative Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders) of the Loan Deficit; and (ii) its unused Commitment. A Defaulting Lender shall forthwith, upon demand, pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Non-Defaulting Lenders all amounts paid by each Non-Defaulting Lender on behalf of such Defaulting Lender, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date a payment was made by a Non-Defaulting Lender until the date such Non-Defaulting Lender has been paid such amounts in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(g) Rollovers. No later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the termination of each Interest Period (other than the Interest Period ending on the Stated Maturity Date) related to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower(s)

shall give the Administrative Agent notice by facsimile or electronic mail, substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto (the “Rollover Notice”) whether it desires to renew such LIBOR Rate Loan. The Rollover Notice shall also specify the length of the Interest Period selected by the Borrower(s) with respect to such Rollover. Each Rollover Notice shall be effective upon notification thereof to the Administrative Agent. Each Rollover Notice shall be irrevocable. If the applicable Borrower(s) fails to timely give the Administrative Agent the Rollover Notice with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Borrower(s) shall be deemed to have elected to renew such Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month commencing on the expiration of the preceding Interest Period.

(h) Conversions. The Borrower(s) shall have the right, with respect to: (i) any Alternate Base Rate Loan, on any Business Day (a “LIBOR Rate Conversion Date”), to convert such Alternate Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan; and (ii) any LIBOR Rate Loan, on any Business Day (an “Alternate Base Rate Conversion Date”) to convert such LIBOR Rate Loan to an Alternate Base Rate Loan; provided that the Borrower(s) shall, on such Alternate Base Rate Conversion Date, make the payments required by Section 4.5, if any; in either case, by giving the Administrative Agent notice by facsimile or electronic mail, substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto (a “Conversion Notice”) of such selection no later than at least either (x) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) two (2) Business Days prior to such LIBOR Rate Conversion Date, or (y) 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on such Alternate Base Rate Conversion Date, as applicable. Each Conversion Notice shall be effective upon notification thereof to the Administrative Agent and shall be irrevocable.

(i) Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no more than fifteen (15) LIBOR Rate Loans may be outstanding hereunder at any one time during the Commitment Period.

(j) Administrative Agent Notification of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender (and will use good faith efforts to make such notification on the day such notice is timely received from the applicable Borrower(s); provided that the failure to provide such notice on such day shall impose no liability on the Administrative Agent) of the receipt of a Request for Borrowing, a Conversion Notice or a Rollover Notice, the amount of the Borrowing and the amount of such Lender’s Lender Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loans, the date the Borrowing is to be made, the Interest Option selected, the Interest Period selected, if applicable, and the applicable rate of interest.

2.4 Minimum Loan Amounts. Subject to Section 3.3(c), each Loan shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $50,000 and not less than $250,000; provided that an Alternate Base Rate Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of a Letter of Credit under Section 2.14(c). Any Loans in an Alternative Currency shall satisfy these minimum thresholds on a Dollar Equivalent basis.

2.5 Funding. Subject to the fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth in Section 6 of this Credit Agreement, (a) by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time), on the date specified

in the related Request for Borrowing as the borrowing date, each Lender shall wire the proceeds of its ratable share of each Borrowing to the Administrative Agent at the account designated in writing by the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, and (b) by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time), on such date (or in the case of Loan in any Alternative Currency other than Dollars, Sterling or Euros, the next available Business Day on which such currency is immediately available to fund), the Administrative Agent shall (i) if the account specified in the related Request for Borrowing is maintained with the Administrative Agent, deposit such proceeds, in immediately available funds, into such account, and otherwise, (ii) initiate a wire transfer of such proceeds to the account specified in the related Request for Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to advance the proceeds of its Lender Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to advance the proceeds of its Lender Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder. Absent contrary written notice from a Lender, the Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made its Lender Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the applicable date, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but is not required to), make available to the applicable Borrower(s) a corresponding amount. If a Lender fails to make its Lender Pro Rata Share of any requested Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the applicable date, then the Administrative Agent may recover the applicable amount on demand: (a) from such Lender, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for the period commencing on the date the amount was made available to the applicable Borrower(s) by the Administrative Agent and ending on (but excluding) the date the Administrative Agent recovers the amount from such Lender; or (b) if such Lender fails to pay such amount within three (3) Business Days of the Administrative Agent’s demand and the Non-Defaulting Lenders have not made such amount available pursuant to Section 2.3(f), then from the Borrowers by the Required Payment Time, together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to the requested Borrowing for the period commencing on the date the amount was made available to the applicable Borrower(s) and ending on (but excluding) the date the Administrative Agent recovers the amount from the Borrowers. The liabilities and obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the performance by any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim any such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereunder shall be liable to the Borrower(s) only for the amount of its respective Commitment.

2.6 Interest.

(a) Interest Rate. Each Loan funded by a Lender shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to: (i) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, Adjusted LIBOR Rate, Adjusted EURIBOR or CDOR, as applicable, for the applicable Interest Period and (ii) with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans, the Alternate Base Rate in effect from day to day plus the Applicable Margin. At any time, each Loan shall have only one Interest Period and, where applicable, one Interest Option.

(b) Change in Rate; Past Due Amounts; Calculations of Interest. Each change in the rate of interest for any Borrowing consisting of Alternate Base Rate Loans shall become effective, without prior notice to the Credit Parties, automatically as of the opening of business of the Administrative Agent on the date of said change. Interest on the unpaid

principal balance of (i) each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days and (ii) each Alternate Base Rate Loan shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. If any principal of, or interest on, the Obligations is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, but following the expiration of all applicable notice and grace periods), then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.6(a) above) all such overdue Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Interest shall accrue on each Loan from the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 3.4, bear interest for one day.

2.7 Determination of Rate and Billing. The Administrative Agent shall calculate each interest rate applicable to the LIBOR Rate Loans and Alternate Base Rate Loans hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrowers and to the Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and the determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent will bill the Borrowers on behalf of all Lenders with respect to interest on the Loans.

2.8 Addition of Qualified Borrowers and Payment of the Borrower Guaranty.

(a) An entity shall be approved as a “Qualified Borrower” hereunder if (i) a Primary Borrower shall have obtained the consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that the Administrative Agent shall approve such entity as a Qualified Borrower unless either (x) such entity is organized, incorporated, formed or registered, as applicable, in a jurisdiction in which any applicable Lender cannot make Loans or (y) such entity fails to comply with “Know Your Customer”, Sanctions, Anti-Corruption Laws or any similar applicable regulatory prohibition or policy applicable to any Lender which is then in effect or fails to deliver applicable “Know Your Customer” documentation reasonably required by any Lender (through the Administrative Agent); (ii) such entity shall be one in which such Primary Borrower owns a direct or indirect ownership interest, or through which such Primary Borrowers may acquire an investment, the indebtedness of which entity can be guaranteed by such Primary Borrower pursuant to the terms of its Constituent Documents; and (iii) the provisions of this Section 2.8 and Section 6.3 shall have been satisfied.

(b) Upon the satisfaction of the requirements of subsection (a) above, the entity approved as a Qualified Borrower shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Credit Agreement as if it were a Borrower hereunder.

(c) The applicable Primary Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders an unconditional guaranty of payment in substantially the form of Exhibit I attached hereto (a “Borrower Guaranty”, and collectively with all such guaranties, the “Borrower Guaranties”), which shall be enforceable against such Primary Borrower for the payment of such Qualified Borrower’s Obligations.

(d) In the event that any Qualified Borrower has not previously done so, and to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, such Qualified Borrower shall execute and deliver a promissory note, in substantially the form of Exhibit H attached hereto (a “Qualified Borrower Promissory Note”), the payment of which is guaranteed by a Primary Borrower pursuant to a Borrower Guaranty payable to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the principal amount of its related Obligations.

(e) In consideration of the Lenders’ agreement to advance Loans to a Qualified Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3 and to accept Borrower Guaranties in support thereof, the applicable Primary Borrower hereby authorizes, empowers, and directs the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, within the limits of the Available Commitment, to disburse directly to the Lenders, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to any Obligations due and owing by a Qualified Borrower and guaranteed by such Primary Borrower under a Borrower Guaranty, as a Borrowing hereunder by such Primary Borrower, in the event the Administrative Agent shall have not received payment of such Obligations when due (following the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods specified in Section 10.1(a), 10.1(b) or 10.1(c)). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify such Primary Borrower of any disbursement made to the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such disbursement, and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof. Any such disbursement made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders shall be deemed to be an Alternate Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.3, and such Primary Borrower shall be deemed to have given to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.3 a Request for Borrowing with respect thereto; and such disbursements shall be made without regard to the minimum and multiple amounts specified in Section 2.4. The Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on the Lenders as to the amount of any such Obligations due to the Lenders, absent manifest error.

(f) If a Qualified Borrower has no Obligations outstanding, such Qualified Borrower shall be permitted to withdraw from the Credit Facility as a Qualified Borrower upon ten (10) days advance written notice to the Administrative Agent, whereupon such Qualified Borrower shall have no further obligations under this Credit Agreement (except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 2.8(f)). Upon request of such withdrawing Qualified Borrower, the Administrative Agent will return or destroy any Qualified Borrower Promissory Note issued by such Qualified Borrower. Notwithstanding any withdrawal by a Qualified Borrower, such Qualified Borrower (and its Primary Borrower pursuant to the applicable Borrower Guaranty) shall remain liable for any amounts due to the Secured Parties pursuant to Sections 4 and 12.5 of this Credit Agreement from such Qualified Borrower, which provisions shall survive any withdrawal by a Qualified Borrower and the termination of this Credit Agreement.

2.9 Use of Proceeds and Borrower Guaranties. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by each Borrower solely for Permitted Uses. The Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit to acquire a Portfolio Investment for which they would not be entitled under their Constituent Documents to issue Investor Capital Calls for the purpose of making such acquisition. Neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall (a) have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to any Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the

Loans or its execution and delivery of any Borrower Guaranty, or (b) be obligated to determine whether or not any Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans is for purposes permitted under the Constituent Documents of any Credit Party. Nothing, including, without limitation, any Borrowing, any Rollover, any Conversion, any issuance of any Letter of Credit, or acceptance of any Borrower Guaranty or other document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent as to whether any investment by any Borrower is permitted by the terms of the Constituent Documents of such Borrower or any other Credit Party. Each Borrower agrees to respond promptly to any reasonable requests for information related to its use of Loan and Letter of Credit proceeds to the extent required by any Lender in connection with such Lender’s determination of its compliance with Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. § 371c) and the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation W (12 C.F.R. Part 223). No Borrower shall to its knowledge use the proceeds of any Borrowing hereunder to purchase any asset or securities from, or securities issued by, any Lender’s “affiliate” as such term is defined in 12 C.F.R. Part 223. In connection with each Request for Borrowing hereunder, the requesting Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing that, to its knowledge, as of the date of the requested Borrowing, the proceeds of such Borrowing will not be used by such Borrower to, directly or indirectly, either (x) purchase any asset or securities from, or securities issued by, any Lender’s “affiliate” as such term is defined in 12 C.F.R. Part 223 or (y) invest in any fund advised by a Lender or an Affiliate thereof.

2.10 Unused Commitment Fee. In addition to the payments provided for in Section 3, the Borrowers shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its ratable share of the Commitments, an aggregate unused commitment fee on the daily amount of the Maximum Commitment which was unused (such amount, the “Unused Portion”) at the Unused Commitment Fee Rate, calculated daily on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days and payable in arrears on the tenth (10th) calendar day of each calendar quarter (or the next succeeding Business Day, if such day is not a Business Day) for the preceding calendar quarter. For purposes of this Section 2.10, the fee shall be calculated on an average daily basis. Each of the Borrowers and the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that the unused commitment fees payable hereunder are bona fide unused commitment fees and are intended as reasonable compensation to the Lenders for committing to make funds available to the Borrowers as described herein and for no other purposes.

2.11 Upfront Fee and Other Fees. The Initial Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to SMBC, as Administrative Agent, the Upfront Fee, the Administration Fee and all other fees, in each case as provided in the Fee Letter.

2.12 Extension of Maturity Date. The Borrower and the Lenders, with mutual consent, shall have the option to extend the Stated Maturity Date then in effect for one (1) additional term (each such extension, a “Facility Extension”), each no longer than 364 days, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(a) the Borrowers shall have paid the amount of any extension fee to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the extending Lenders (other than Defaulting

Lenders), a fee in an amount as set forth in the applicable Fee Letter, payable upon the extension of the Stated Maturity Date to each such Lender ratably;

(b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date on which notice is given in accordance with Section 2.12(d) or on the Stated Maturity Date then in effect;

(c) all representations and warranties of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the initial Stated Maturity Date, with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); provided that if any such representation and warranty is already qualified by materiality, then it shall be true and correct in all respects; and

(d) the Borrowers shall have delivered an Extension Request with respect to the Stated Maturity Date to the Administrative Agent not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date (or such lesser number of days, at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent) then in effect (which shall be promptly forwarded by the Administrative Agent to each Lender).

2.13 Increase in the Maximum Commitment.

(a) Request for Increase. Subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 2.13, the Borrowers may increase the Maximum Commitment to an amount not to exceed the amount set forth on Schedule IV (as may be amended, modified or updated from time to time) (or such greater amount as agreed among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers) with the written consent of the Lenders. Such increase may be done in one or more requested increases, in $5,000,000 increments, or such other amount to be determined by the Administrative Agent (each such increase shall be referred to herein as a “Facility Increase”).

(b) Effective Date. Within five (5) Business Days (or such shorter time period as the Administrative Agent may agree) of the receipt of a request from the Borrowers to increase the Maximum Commitment, the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower shall determine the effective date of the Facility Increase, if any (the “Facility Increase Effective Date”) and, if the Administrative Agent has determined that the conditions precedent to such Facility Increase have been satisfied, shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the Facility Increase Effective Date.

(i) the Borrowers shall, not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day or such shorter time period as the Administrative Agent may agree, prior to the Facility Increase Effective Date, deliver to Administrative Agent a Facility Increase Request and (x) to the extent the Maximum Commitment increase has not been previously authorized, resolutions adopted by the Borrowers approving or

consenting to such increase or (y) to the extent such Maximum Commitment increase was previously authorized, copies of such prior resolutions adopted by the Borrowers approving or consenting to such increase, in each case, certified by a Responsible Officer of each Borrower that such resolutions are true and correct copies thereof and are in full force and effect;

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the proposed date of such Facility Increase;

(iii) if applicable, the Borrowers shall execute replacement Notes payable to each requesting Lender reflecting the Facility Increase;

(iv) all representations and warranties of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the proposed date of such Facility Increase, with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date);

(v) on the Facility Increase Effective Date, (x) an existing Lender or Lenders shall increase its Commitment to support any Facility Increase, in its sole discretion, and/or (y) an additional Lender or Lenders shall have joined the Credit Facility in accordance with Section 12.11(i) (and any documentation necessary pursuant to such Section 12.11(i) shall have been delivered in accordance with the terms thereof) and, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Commitments of such increasing and additional Lenders shall be at least equal to the amount of such Facility Increase;

(vi) the Borrowers have fully complied with the delivery requirements under Section 6.1(l) hereof with respect to the Investors listed on Exhibit A-1 hereto as of the Closing Date; and

(vii) on or prior to the proposed date of such Facility Increase, the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the Facility Increase Fee.

For the avoidance of doubt, any Facility Increase will be on the same terms as contained herein with respect to the Credit Facility. On the Facility Increase Effective Date, Schedule I hereof shall be automatically updated to reflect any corresponding increase in any Lender’s Commitment and/or the Commitment of any additional Lender.

2.14 Letters of Credit.

(a) Letter of Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on any Business Day during the Commitment Period, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue such Letters of Credit in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency and in such aggregate face amounts as the Borrowers may request; provided that: (i) on the date of issuance, the Dollar Equivalent of the Letter of Credit Liability (after giving effect to the issuance of any such Letter of Credit) will not exceed the lesser of: (A) the remainder of: (1) the Available

Commitment as of such date minus (2) the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations as of such date and (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit; (ii) each Letter of Credit shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000 or the Dollar Equivalent thereof; (iii) the expiry date of the Letter of Credit shall not be later than (A) twelve (12) months after the date of issuance (subject to automatic renewal for additional one year periods pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Credit Application or other documentation acceptable to the Letter of Credit Issuer) without the Letter of Credit Issuer’s consent, in its sole discretion, or (B) thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date, or, if the Borrowers comply with Section 2.14(h), within one (1) year after the Stated Maturity Date; (iv) each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and/or ISP98, as set forth in the Letter of Credit Application or as determined by the Letter of Credit Issuer and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York; and (v) the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after the Closing Date (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Letter of Credit Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Applicable Law applicable to the Letter of Credit Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Letter of Credit Issuer deems material to it, (B) the Borrowers have not provided the information necessary for the Letter of Credit Issuer to complete the form of Letter of Credit, or (C) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Applicable Law or one or more policies of the Letter of Credit Issuer. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrowers request that a Letter of Credit be issued for the account of any Subsidiary, the Borrowers shall be liable for all Obligations under such Letter of Credit as if it had been issued for the account of the Borrowers.

(b) Request. Each request for a Letter of Credit (a “Request for Letter of Credit”) shall be submitted to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer in the form of Exhibit E-2 (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith), together with a Letter of Credit Application and a Borrowing Request Borrowing Base Certificate (each of which shall be in final form upon delivery thereof to the Administrative Agent), for the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer, on or before 11:00 a.m., New York time, at least four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or six (6) Business Days with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by any branch of the Letter of Credit Issuer located outside of the United States). The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of such Request for Letter of Credit and the terms of the requested Letter of Credit. Upon each such application, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have automatically made to the Administrative Agent, each Lender, and the Letter of Credit Issuer the following representations and warranties:

(i) The Letter of Credit Liability (after giving effect to the issuance of the requested Letter of Credit) will not exceed the lesser of: (A) the remainder of:

(1) the Available Commitment as of such date; minus (2) the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations as of such date; and (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit on such date; and

(ii) All conditions precedent in Section 6.2 for the issuance of such Letter of Credit will be satisfied as of the date of such issuance.

(c) Participation by the Lenders. Each Lender shall and does hereby participate ratably with the Letter of Credit Issuer in each Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder to the extent of its Lender Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Liability with respect to each such Letter of Credit, and shall share in all rights and obligations resulting therefrom, including, without limitation: (i) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its Lender Pro Rata Share of any reimbursement of the amount of each draft drawn under each Letter of Credit, including any interest payable with respect thereto; (ii) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its Lender Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit fee pursuant to Section 2.15; (iii) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its additional costs pursuant to Section 4.1; and (iv) the obligation to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, in immediately available funds, its Lender Pro Rata Share of any unreimbursed drawing under a Letter of Credit.

(d) Payment of Letter of Credit. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Borrowers agree to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Loan as provided for in this Section 2.14 or with funds from other sources), in same day funds, the Letter of Credit Issuer on each date on which the Letter of Credit Issuer notifies the Borrowers of the date and amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit for the amount of such draft so paid and any amounts representing interest, costs, expenses or fees incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with such payment. Unless the Borrowers shall immediately notify the Letter of Credit Issuer that the Borrowers intend to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for such drawing from other sources or funds, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have timely given a Request for Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, and the Borrowers hereby authorize, empower, and direct the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Letter of Credit Issuer, to disburse directly, as a Borrowing hereunder, to the Letter of Credit Issuer, with notice to the Borrowers, in immediately available funds an amount equal to the stated amount of each draft drawn under each Letter of Credit plus all interest, costs and expenses, and fees due to the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Credit Agreement. Subject to receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Lender Pro Rata Share of the amount disbursed by the Letter of Credit Issuer on the Business Day on which the Letter of Credit Issuer honors any such draft or incurs or is owed any such interest, costs, expenses or fees. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of any such disbursements made by the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of the disbursement, and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof. Any such disbursement made by the Lenders to the Letter of Credit Issuer on account of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed an Alternate Base Rate Loan if in Dollars and a LIBOR Rate Loan with a one-month Interest Period if in an Alternative Currency; and such disbursements shall be made without regard

to the minimum and multiple amounts specified in Section 2.4. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may conclusively rely on the Letter of Credit Issuer as to the amount due the Letter of Credit Issuer by reason of any draft of a Letter of Credit or due the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit Application. The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, and, as applicable, the obligations of the Borrowers with respect to Borrowings, each under this Section 2.14(d) shall be irrevocable, shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall, irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions to the making of any Loans described in Sections 2.1(b), 6.1, 6.2, and/or 6.3, as applicable, be honored in accordance with this Section 2.14(d) under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the terms of the Letter of Credit; (iii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the account party and beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit); (iv) any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a draw under a Letter of Credit; (v) any payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (vi) any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; (vii) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (viii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or (ix) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party. The Letter of Credit Issuer shall provide prompt written notice to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower of each request for a draw under a Letter of Credit and each draw under a Letter of Credit.

(e) Borrower Inspection. The Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to them and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers’ instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowers will immediately notify the Letter of Credit Issuer of the same in writing. The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and the Credit Parties agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit. The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers from pursuing such rights and remedies as they may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 2.14(d). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Acceleration of Undrawn Amounts. Should the Administrative Agent demand payment of the Obligations hereunder prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 10.2, the Administrative Agent, by written notice to the Borrowers, may take one or both of the following actions: (i) declare the obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder terminated, whereupon such obligations shall forthwith terminate without any other notice of any kind; or (ii) declare the Letter of Credit Liability to be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived, and demand that the Borrowers Cash Collateralize, as security for the Obligations, an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount at the time such notice is given. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, upon the full and final payment of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrowers any amounts remaining in said Cash Collateral Account.

(h) Cash Collateral. If (i) as of the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date, any Letters of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, or (ii) any other circumstances under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents occurs requiring the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize any Letters of Credit, then, in each case, the Borrowers shall promptly Cash Collateralize in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount or, in the case of Section 2.14(h)(ii), such amount expressly required by the terms of this Credit Agreement or other Loan Document, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be held by the

Administrative Agent as Cash Collateral subject to the terms of this Section 2.14(h) and any security agreement, control agreement and other documentation requested by the Administrative Agent to be executed in connection with opening a Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of holding such Cash Collateral. All Cash Collateral to be provided by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.14(h) shall be in the currency or currencies of the underlying Letters of Credit. All Cash Collateral shall be funded by the proceeds of Capital Calls, and not from any other source. Cash Collateral held in a Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the reimbursement of the Letter of Credit Issuer for any payment made by it of drafts drawn under the outstanding Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof, after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other Obligations. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Letter of Credit Liability shall have been satisfied and all other Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, of Cash Collateral held in a Cash Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 2.14(h) shall be returned to the Borrowers. The Borrowers hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral and in each Cash Collateral Account as security in respect of the Letter of Credit Liability.

(i) Lenders’ Continuing Obligations. In the event any Letter of Credit Liability is Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.14(h) or otherwise pursuant to this Credit Agreement (including but not limited to the Cash Collateralizing of a Letter of Credit outstanding beyond the Maturity Date), each Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall continue in all respects, each Lender will continue to be entitled to receive its Lender Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit fee payable in accordance with Section 2.15, and the Lenders shall continue to be obligated to fund their respective Lender Pro Rata Shares of any drawing under such Letter of Credit in the event the Cash Collateral is for any reason unavailable or insufficient to fully fund such drawing (including, but not limited to, as a result of any preference claim or other clawback under any proceeding pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws).

(j) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, this Section 2.14 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 12.12.

2.15 Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent: (a) for the benefit of the Lenders, in consideration for the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, a non-refundable fee equal to the Applicable Margin if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) on the daily face amount of each Letter of Credit, less the amount of any draws on such Letter of Credit, payable in quarterly installments in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter for the preceding calendar quarter, commencing on the issuance date and continuing for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Letter of Credit that is outstanding but has been Cash Collateralized) calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days; and (b) for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer: (i) so long as there is at least one Lender other than the Letter of Credit Issuer, a non-refundable fronting fee equal to 12.5 basis points (0.125%) of the maximum amount of each Letter of Credit, payable in quarterly installments in arrears on the first Business Day of

each calendar quarter for the preceding calendar quarter; and (ii) all other reasonable and customary out of pocket expenses actually incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer related to the issuance, amendment or transfer of Letters of Credit upon demand by the Letter of Credit Issuer.

Section 3.

PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS

3.1 Revolving Credit Notes. The Administrative Agent may request that the Loans made under this Credit Agreement be evidenced by promissory notes in favor of each Lender. In such event, each Borrower shall execute and deliver the requested promissory notes each payable to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the applicable Lender in the amount up to the aggregate Commitment of such Lender. Any such note issued by the Borrowers shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith). Each Borrower agrees, from time to time, upon the request of a Lender, to reissue a new Note, in accordance with the terms and in the form heretofore provided, to such Lender, in renewal of and substitution for the Note previously issued by such Borrower to such Lender, so long as such previously issued Note shall be returned by such Lender to the applicable Borrowers and marked “cancelled” or “replaced”.

3.2 Payment of Obligations. The unpaid principal amount of the Obligations outstanding on the Maturity Date, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. All Loans shall be repaid in the currency in which they were borrowed.

3.3 Payment of Interest.

(a) Interest. Interest on each Borrowing and any portion thereof shall commence to accrue in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the date of the disbursal or wire transfer of such Borrowing by the Administrative Agent consistent with the provisions of Section 2.6, notwithstanding whether any Borrower received the benefit of such Borrowing as of such date. When a Borrowing is disbursed by wire transfer pursuant to instructions received from the Borrower(s) in accordance with the related Request for Borrowing, then such Borrowing shall be considered made at the time of the transmission of the wire, rather than the time of receipt thereof by the receiving bank. With regard to the repayment of the Loans, interest shall continue to accrue on any amount repaid until such time as the repayment has been received in federal or other immediately available funds by the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent’s account described in Section 3.4, or any other account of the Administrative Agent which the Administrative Agent designates in writing to the Borrowers. Interest shall be payable in the currency of the related Loan.

(b) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations shall be due and payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date and (ii) subject to Section 10.5, at all times when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time and from time to time following such default upon demand by the Administrative Agent. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(c) Direct Disbursement. With at least three (3) Business Days (or on the same Business Day for an Alternate Base Rate Loan or Alternate Base Rate Rollover) notice prior to any Interest Payment Date on which interest is payable hereunder by any Borrower, such Borrower may request in writing, within the limits of the Available Commitment and so long as each of the conditions specified in Section 6.2 and if applicable Section 6.3 (to the extent not previously satisfied at the time such Qualified Borrower initially becomes a Borrower) have been satisfied, that the Administrative Agent disburse to the Lenders, in accordance with the terms hereof, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the interest or fees due to them from such Borrower, which disbursement shall be deemed to be a Loan pursuant to Section 2.3. Such Loan shall be either: (i) a LIBOR Rate Loan, if the applicable Lender can consolidate such Loan with an existing LIBOR Rate Loan that is then subject to a Rollover; or (ii) an Alternate Base Rate Loan. Such Loan will not be subject to the minimum and multiple amount limitations in Section 2.4. If the Lenders shall not have received on the date due, any payment of interest upon any Loan or any fee described herein, the Administrative Agent may, without prior notice to or the consent of the Credit Parties, following the expiration of all applicable notice and grace periods specified in Section 10.1(a), 10.1(b) or 10.1(c), as applicable, related to the payments of such amounts, within the limits of the Available Commitment, disburse to the Lenders, in accordance with the terms hereof, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to any interest or fees due to them, which disbursement shall be deemed to be an Alternate Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.3. After any such disbursement of funds as contemplated in this Section 3.3(c), the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver written notice of such disbursement to the applicable Borrower(s); provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to give such notice will not affect the validity of such disbursement.

3.4 Payments on the Obligations. All payments of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations under this Credit Agreement by the Credit Parties to or for the account of the Lenders, or any of them, shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense or recoupment by any Borrower for receipt by the Administrative Agent before 11:00 a.m. (New York time), on the due date therefor in federal or other immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at account number 423001 at SMBC, New York (Swift:SMBCUS33), beneficiary “SMBC Loan Operations New York”, reference “BlackRock Direct Lending Corp.” or any other account of the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent designates in writing to the Borrowers. Funds received after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the due date therefor shall be treated for all purposes as having been received by the Administrative Agent on the first Business Day immediately following receipt of such funds. Except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 3.4, each Lender shall be entitled to receive its ratable share of each payment received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders on the Obligations. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of a Lender shall be promptly distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Lender by 2:00 p.m. (New York time). If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the immediately following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in calculating interest or fees, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that payments to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations to or for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall constitute satisfaction of the Borrowers’ obligations with respect to any such

payments, and the Administrative Agent shall indemnify, and each Lender shall hold harmless, the Borrowers from any claims asserted by any Lender in connection with the Administrative Agent’s duty to distribute and apportion such payments to the Lenders in accordance with this Section 3.4. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments made on the Obligations shall be credited as directed by the Borrowers. At all times when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments made on the Obligations shall be credited, to the extent of the amount thereof, in the following manner: (a) first, against all costs, expenses and other fees (including attorneys’ fees) payable by any of the Credit Parties under the terms of the Loan Documents; (b) second, against the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on the Obligations as of the date of such payment; (c) third, against all principal due and owing on the Obligations as of the date of such payment; and (d) fourth, to all other amounts constituting any portion of the Obligations.

3.5 Voluntary Prepayments. Each Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice may be conditioned upon the occurrence of an event or financing so long as revocation of any such notice is provided to the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the effective date of such prepayment and payment of all amounts due per Section 4.5), at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that: (a) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent by no later than: (i) 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans and (ii) 11:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Alternate Base Rate Loans; and (b) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or the equivalent multiple in the applicable currency thereof) or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such prepayment and the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of such Lender’s Lender Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by a Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Each prepayment of a Loan shall be applied to the Obligations held by each Lender in accordance with its respective Lender Pro Rata Share.

3.6 Reduction or Early Termination of Commitments. So long as no Request for Borrowing, Conversion, Rollover or Request for Letter of Credit is outstanding, the Borrowers may terminate the Commitments, or reduce the Maximum Commitment, by giving written notice (which notice may be conditioned upon the occurrence of an event or financing so long as revocation of any such notice is provided to the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction) to the Administrative Agent of such termination or reduction three (3) days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (which date shall be specified by the Borrowers in such notice), (a) (i) in the case of complete termination of the Commitments, upon prepayment of all of the outstanding Obligations, including, without limitation, all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.5; or (ii) in the case of a reduction of the Maximum Commitment, upon prepayment of the amount, if any, by which the Principal Obligations exceed the reduced Available Commitment resulting from such reduction, including, without limitation, payment of all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.5, (b) in the case of the complete termination of the Commitments, if any Letter of Credit Liability exists, upon payment to the Administrative

Agent of the Cash Collateral (from the proceeds of Capital Calls only) for deposit in the Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Section 2.14(h), without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (1) any reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (2) in no event shall a reduction by the Borrowers reduce the Maximum Commitment to less than $5,000,000 (except (i) for a termination of all the Commitments and (ii) as otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent). Promptly after receipt of any notice of reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the same. Any reduction of the Maximum Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall reduce the Commitments of the Lenders on a pro rata basis.

3.7 Lending Office. Each Lender may: (a) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender as its lending office (its “Lending Office”) (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Type of Loan and (b) change its Lending Office for any Type of Loan from time to time by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers. In such event, the Administrative Agent shall hold the Notes, if any, evidencing such Lender’s Loans for the benefit and account of such branch, subsidiary or Affiliate. Each Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its Commitment in any manner it deems appropriate, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.5.

3.8 Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower acknowledges, agrees, represents and warrants the following:

(a) Inducement. The Lenders have been induced to make the Loans to, and the Letter of Credit Issuer has been induced to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers in part based upon the assurances by each Borrower that each Borrower desires that all Obligations under the Loan Documents be honored and enforced as separate obligations of each Borrower, should the Administrative Agent and the Lenders desire to do so.

(b) Combined Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable to the Lenders for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities, including, without limitation, the Loans and the other Obligations, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at their option enforce the entire amount of the Loans, the Letters of Credit and the other Obligations against any one or more of the Borrowers.

(c) Separate Exercise of Remedies. The Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) may exercise remedies against each Borrower and its property separately, whether or not the Administrative Agent exercises remedies against any other Borrower or its property. The Administrative Agent may enforce one or more Borrower’s obligations without enforcing any other Borrower’s obligations and vice versa. Any failure or inability of the Administrative Agent to enforce one or more Borrower’s obligations shall not in any way limit the Administrative Agent’s right to enforce the obligations of the other Borrowers. If the Administrative Agent forecloses or exercises similar remedies under any one or more Collateral Documents, then such foreclosure or similar remedy shall be deemed to reduce the balance of the Loans only to the extent of the cash proceeds actually realized by the Lenders from such foreclosure or similar remedy or, if applicable, the Administrative Agent’s credit bid at such sale,

regardless of the effect of such foreclosure or similar remedy on the Loans secured by such Collateral Documents under the applicable state law.

Section 4.

TAXES; CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

4.1 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.1, the term “Lender” includes the Letter of Credit Issuer and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, (ii) (i) the applicable Withholding Agent 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 an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.1) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify each Recipient, by the Required Payment Time after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.1) 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; provided that if the Recipient requests indemnification more than one-hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the earlier of (i) the date on which such Recipient makes such payment of Indemnified Taxes or liability arising therefrom or with respect thereto and (ii) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority or other party makes written demand upon such Recipient for payment of such Indemnified Taxes or liability arising therefrom or with respect thereto, such Recipient shall not be indemnified to the extent such delay results in prejudice to the Borrowers. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability setting forth the calculation of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),

or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Tax Indemnification by the Lenders. Without prejudice to, or duplication of, Section 11.7, each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.11(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by 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 any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 4.1(e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.1, such 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.

(g) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers 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 reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers 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 Sections 4.1(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) 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, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such 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 the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested in writing by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, 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 Loan Document, 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;

(ii) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

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

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested in writing by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to such Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent 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 such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.1(g)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

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

(h) The Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with, if it is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), two copies of duly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding, and, if it is not a United States person, two copies of duly completed and executed (1) IRS Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, with respect to payments to be received by it as a beneficial owner and (2) IRS Form W-8IMY (together with required accompanying documentation) assuming primary responsibility for U.S. federal income tax withholding with respect to payments to be received by it on behalf of the Lenders, and shall update such forms periodically upon the reasonable request of the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.1(g), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver any form that such Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver, provided that, in the event that the Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver the forms described in this Section 4.1(g), the Borrower may require the appointment of a sub-agent, which sub-agent shall deliver to the Borrower the documentation described in this Section 4.1(g).

(i) Selection of Lending Office. If any Lender requires any Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.4, then such Lender shall, at the request of the Borrowers, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.4 in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(j) 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 4.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.1), 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 4.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all 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 written request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 4.1(h) (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 Section 4.1(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 4.1(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect

to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 4.1(h) 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.

(k) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.1 shall survive and remain in full force and effect for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

4.2 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans or other Obligations, or materially restricts the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, the applicable currency or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Loans or the Obligations or to convert Loans accruing interest calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate to be Loans calculated by reference to the Alternate Base Rate (unless the Alternate Base Rate is also calculated off the LIBOR Rate in accordance with the definition thereof), shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon the prepayment of any such Loans, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

4.3 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 4.3, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted LIBOR Rate, LIBOR, Adjusted EURIBOR or EURIBOR, as applicable (including because the Relevant Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period, provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that Adjusted LIBOR Rate, LIBOR, Adjusted EURIBOR or EURIBOR, as applicable, for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any request for a Conversion that requests the conversion of any

Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an Alternate Base Rate Loan, and (C) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in an Alternative Currency, then such request shall be ineffective. Furthermore, if any LIBOR Rate Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Borrowers’ receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 4.3(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, then until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) if such LIBOR Rate Loan is denominated in Dollars, then on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an Alternate Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars on such day and (ii) if such LIBOR Rate Loan is denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars, then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), at the Borrowers’ election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Borrowers on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, such LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars shall be deemed to be a LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars at such time;

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan 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 Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this Section 4.3(c), (x) with respect to a Loan denominated in Dollars, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date or (y) with respect to a Loan denominated in Euros, if a Term ESTR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, as applicable, have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan 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 Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that this Section 4.3(c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrowers a Term SOFR Notice or a Term ESTR Notice, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver any (x) Term SOFR Notice after the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event or (y) Term ESTR Notice after the occurrence of a Term ESTR Transition Event, and may do so in its sole discretion.

(d) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will, after consultation with the Borrowers, have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(e) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 4.3(f) and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 4.3, 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 or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.3.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan 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 Term SOFR, Term ESTR, LIBOR or EURIBOR) 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 the Administrative 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 or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” 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 or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowers may revoke any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Alternate Base Rate Loans or (y) any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be ineffective. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate. Furthermore, if any LIBOR Rate Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such Agreed Currency is implemented pursuant to this Section 4.3, (i) if such LIBOR Rate Loan is denominated in Dollars, then on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an Alternate Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars on such day or (ii) if such LIBOR Rate Loan is denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars, then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), at the Borrowers’ election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Borrowers on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, such LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars shall be deemed to be a LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars at such time.

4.4 Increased Cost and Capital Adequacy.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If after the Closing Date (or with respect to a Person first becoming a Lender after the Closing Date, the date such Person first becomes a Lender) (x) the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, (y) any guidance, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or (z) compliance, application or implementation by any Lender with the foregoing subclause (x) or (y) or any Existing Law:

(i) imposes or modifies any reserve, fee, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, any liabilities of or any credit extended by, any Lender in respect of or in connection with this Credit Agreement (other than Taxes);

(ii) subjects any Lender to any Tax (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;

(iii) has the effect of reducing a Lender’s rate of return (other than as a result of Taxes) in respect of this Credit Agreement on such Lender’s capital to a level below that which such Lender would have achieved but for the occurrences set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 4.4 herein;

(iv) affects the amount of the capital required to be maintained by such Lender; or

(v) causes an internal capital or liquidity charge or other imputed cost to be assessed upon such Lender, which in the sole discretion of such Lender is allocable to the Initial Borrower or to the transactions contemplated by this Credit Agreement;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or other Recipient, the Borrowers shall promptly (and in any event within 20 Business Days) pay to any such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) or causes an internal capital or liquidity charge or other imputed cost to be assessed upon such Lender, which in such party’s sole discretion is allocable to the Borrowers or to the transactions contemplated by this Credit Agreement, then from time to time upon written request of such Lender, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender by the Required Payment Time, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender (x) setting forth with reasonable supporting detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 4.4 and (y) with respect to

any Lender that becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, such other information or support reasonably requested by the Initial Borrower shall be delivered to the Initial Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The agreements in this Section 4.4 shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder. The Initial Borrower shall pay such Lender, the amount shown as due on any such certificate by the Required Payment Time.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.4 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender, notifies the Borrowers of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

4.5 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for, and hold such Lender harmless from, any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds from third parties as a result of (a) any failure or refusal of the Borrowers (for any reasons whatsoever other than a default by the Administrative Agent or any Lender) to accept a Loan after the Borrowers shall have requested such Loan under this Credit Agreement (whether pursuant to Section 2.3 or otherwise), (b) any prepayment or other payment of the principal of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (whether pursuant to Section 2.1(e) or otherwise), (c) any other prepayment of a Loan that is (x) required pursuant to Section 2.1(e) or (y) not made in compliance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, or (d) the failure of the Borrowers to make a prepayment of a Loan after giving notice under this Credit Agreement, that such prepayment will be made. Any such payments shall be made by the Required Payment Time.

4.6 Requests for Compensation.

(a) If requested by the Borrowers in connection with any demand for payment pursuant to this Section 4 (other than Section 4.1), a Lender shall provide to the Borrowers, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand, the amount required to be paid by the Borrowers to such Lender and the computations made by such Lender to determine such amount, such certificate to be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. Any such amount payable by the Borrowers shall not be duplicative of any amounts (a) previously paid under this Section 4, or (b) included in the calculation of LIBOR.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4 (other than Section 4.1), (i) no Lender shall be entitled to compensation under this Section 4 (other than Section 4.1), for any costs incurred or reductions suffered by such Lender (or its holding company) because of a Change in Law unless at such time such Lender (or its

holding company) is acting in a similar manner with respect to its similarly-situated borrowers (it being understood that such claims between similarly situated borrowers may be different after consideration of facility pricing, structure, usage patterns, capital treatment and banking relationship).

4.7 Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 4 shall survive and remain in full force and effect for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration or termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Section 5.

SECURITY

5.1 Liens and Security Interest.

(a) Collateral. Subject to the terms of the applicable Collateral Documents and without prejudice to Section 3.8, to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations hereunder, (a) each of the Feeder Funds and their respective General Partners shall enter into the Feeder Fund Documents, (b) each of the Intermediate Entities and, where applicable, their respective General Partners shall enter into a Security Agreement, and (c) each of the Credit Parties shall enter into the Security Agreements, the related financing statements and other related documents.

(b) Reliance. The Borrowers agree (and shall cause the other Fund Parties pursuant to the Feeder Fund Documents and the applicable Security Agreement to agree) that the Administrative Agent and each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer have entered into this Credit Agreement, extended credit hereunder and at the time of each Loan, or each issuance of a Letter of Credit, will make such Loan or issue such Letter of Credit in reasonable reliance on the obligations of the Investors to fund their respective Unfunded Capital Commitments and accordingly during the continuance of an Event of Default (but subject to Section 10.5), such Unfunded Capital Commitments may be enforced in the name of the applicable Borrowers, Intermediate Entities and the Feeder Funds by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents in accordance with the relevant Constituent Documents, Subscription Agreements and Side Letters, directly against the Investors without further action by any Fund Party and notwithstanding any compromise of any such Unfunded Capital Commitment by any Fund Party, as applicable, after the Closing Date as provided in 6 Del. C. §17-502(b)(1).

(c) Collateral/Collateral Documents. The security agreements, assignments, collateral assignments and any other documents and instruments from time to time executed and delivered pursuant to this Credit Agreement to grant a security interest in the Collateral, including, without limitation, the Security Agreements, the Collateral Account Pledges, the Control Agreement, and any documents or instruments amending or supplementing the same, shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Collateral Documents”.

5.2 Collateral Accounts; Investor Capital Calls.

(a) Collateral Accounts.

(i) Prior to the Closing Date, each Borrower (to the extent that it is a Fund and receives Investor Capital Contributions directly from Investors) shall, and shall enforce its rights as direct or indirect beneficiary and assignee of the rights of the Feeder Funds and Intermediate Entities pursuant to the Feeder Fund Documents, the Intermediate Entity Documents and the Security Agreements (such right, collectively, the “Assigned Rights”) to require that such Feeder Funds and Intermediate Entities, establish, one or more Collateral Accounts, as applicable, and require that all Investor Capital Contributions are directed into the applicable Collateral Account of the applicable Fund Party by the applicable Investors (it being understood and agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that (i) the Fund Parties may maintain other accounts into which, subject to compliance with Section 9.11, Investor Capital Contributions may be transferred from the Collateral Accounts and (ii) such other accounts will not constitute Collateral and will not be subject to the control of the Administrative Agent or any other restrictions under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents). Each Collateral Account shall be a deposit account or a securities account (as defined in the UCC or substantial equivalent under foreign law) established with an Eligible Institution, as deposit bank or securities intermediary, in the name of the applicable Fund Party into which financial assets may be credited and as to which such Eligible Institution, as deposit bank or securities intermediary, undertakes to treat the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise such deposit account or financial assets in accordance with the terms of the Control Agreement. If such deposit bank or securities intermediary ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the applicable Fund Party will have thirty (30) Business Days following notice from the Administrative Agent to move the Collateral Accounts to another Eligible Institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders. If the deposit bank or securities intermediary terminates the Control Agreement, the applicable Fund Party shall open new accounts that are subject to a Control Agreement with a replacement deposit bank or securities intermediary, which is an Eligible Institution, within thirty (30) Business Days of such termination.

(ii) The Borrowers shall cause each applicable Collateral Account to be subject at all times, subject to the first two sentences of the immediately preceding clause (i), to a Control Agreement pursuant to which the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall be entitled to assume exclusive control thereof upon notice to that effect to the applicable Eligible Institution; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not deliver any such notice unless a Cash Control Event has occurred and is continuing. Each Collateral Account shall continue to be held in the name of the applicable Fund Party after the Administrative Agent has assumed exclusive control thereof. All monies, instruments, investment property or other property credited to the Collateral Accounts pursuant to this Credit Agreement and all other property credited to the Collateral Accounts constitute part

of the Collateral (including all cash and Permitted Investments) (other than Excluded Proceeds) and shall be applied in the manner set forth herein. The applicable Borrower may direct the institution that holds a Collateral Account to invest the funds in such accounts solely in Permitted Investments, and the Fund Parties may withdraw funds from the Collateral Accounts only in compliance with Section 9.11 (it being understood and agreed that withdrawals from other accounts will not be restricted).

(b) No Duty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, it is expressly understood and agreed that no Secured Party (i) undertakes any duties, responsibilities, or liabilities with respect to the Investor Capital Calls issued by any Fund, (ii) shall be required (except in connection with a Secured Party making Investor Capital Calls) to refer to the Constituent Documents of any Fund Party, or a Subscription Agreement, or take any other action with respect to any other matter that might arise in connection with the Constituent Documents of any Fund Party, a Subscription Agreement, any Investor Capital Call, (iii) shall have any duty to determine or inquire into any happening or occurrence or any performance or failure of performance of any Fund Party or any of the Investors, and (iv) shall have any duty to inquire into the use, purpose, or reasons for the making of any Investor Capital Call by any Fund Party or the investment or use of the proceeds thereof.

(c) Investor Capital Calls; Investor Capital Calls by the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower will (and will enforce its Assigned Rights to require the applicable Feeder Funds and Intermediate Entities, to) issue Investor Capital Calls at such times as are necessary in order to ensure the timely payment of the Obligations hereunder. For purposes of repaying the Obligations (subject to Section 10.5 in all respects), the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize and direct the Secured Parties, acting through the Administrative Agent, to charge from time to time the Collateral Accounts of the Borrowers for amounts not paid by any Borrower when due to the Secured Parties (after the passage of any applicable grace period) (excluding any amounts therein which are not part of the Collateral); provided that promptly after any disbursement of funds from any such account to the Secured Parties, as contemplated in this Section 5.2(c), the Administrative Agent shall deliver a written notice of such disbursement to the Borrowers. Subject to Section 10.2 and Section 10.5 in all respects, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, is hereby authorized, in the name of the Secured Parties or the name of any Fund Party or by way of enforcement of the Collateral or part thereof, at any time or from time to time during the continuance of an Event of Default, solely for the purpose of repaying the Obligations and, to the extent relevant, in accordance with the applicable Constituent Documents and the Assigned Rights, to:(i) initiate one or more Investor Capital Calls in order to pay the Obligations then due and owing; (ii) take or bring in any Fund Party’s name, or that of the Secured Parties, all steps, actions, suits, or proceedings deemed by the Administrative Agent necessary or desirable to effect possession or collection of payments of the Unfunded Capital Commitments; (iii) complete any contract or agreement of any Fund Party in any way related to payment of any of the Unfunded Capital Commitments; (iv) make allowances or adjustments related to any of the Unfunded Capital Commitments; (v) compromise any claims related to any of the Unfunded Capital Commitments; (vi) issue credit in its own name or the name of any Fund Party with respect to Unfunded Capital

Commitments; or (vii) exercise any other right, privilege, power, or remedy provided to any Fund Party under any Constituent Documents or Subscription Agreement with respect to Unfunded Capital Commitments. Regardless of any provision hereof, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall be liable for failure to collect or for failure to exercise diligence in the collection, possession, or any transaction concerning, all or part of the Investor Capital Calls, the Unfunded Capital Commitments, or sums due or paid thereon, nor shall they be under any obligation whatsoever to anyone by virtue of the security interests and Liens relating to the Unfunded Capital Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall give the Borrowers notice of actions taken pursuant to this Section 5.2(c) concurrently with, or promptly after, the taking of such action, but its failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action, nor shall such failure give rise to defenses to the Borrowers’ respective obligations hereunder.

(d) Additional Action by the Administrative Agent. Subject to Section 10.2 and Section 10.5 in all respects, during the existence of an Event of Default, issuance by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, of a receipt to any Person obligated to pay any Investor Capital Contribution with respect to the Unfunded Capital Commitments for the purposes of repaying the Obligations shall be a full and complete release, discharge, and acquittance of such Person to the extent of any amount so paid to the Collateral Accounts for the benefit of the Secured Parties, so long as such amounts shall not be invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any insolvency law, state or federal law, common law or equitable doctrine. Subject to Section 10.5 in all respects, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the Assigned Rights, is hereby authorized and empowered, during the existence of an Event of Default, on behalf of the Borrowers and each other Fund Party to endorse the name of each such Fund Party upon any check, draft, instrument, receipt, instruction, or other document or items, including, but not limited to, all items evidencing payment upon an Investor Capital Contribution of any Person to any Fund Party coming into the Administrative Agent’s possession, and to receive and apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement. Subject to Section 10.5 in all respects, during the existence of an Event of Default, solely for the purpose of repaying the Obligations, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, is hereby and pursuant to the Assigned Rights granted an irrevocable power of attorney, which is coupled with an interest, to (i) carry out any and all actions listed in Section 5.2(c)(i)-(vii), including, but not limited to, the initiation of Capital Calls of the Uncalled Capital Commitments via a Capital Call Notice using the power of attorney provided in the Security Agreements to deliver Pre-executed Capital Call Notices (for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent available, the Administrative Agent shall use any Pre-executed Capital Call Notice prior to issuing a Capital Call directly, in each case, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents); and (ii) execute all checks, drafts, receipts, instruments, instructions, or other documents, agreements, or items on behalf of any Fund Party, either before or after demand of payment of the Obligations, as shall be deemed by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent for the purposes of repaying the Obligations or to protect the first priority security interests and Liens in the Unfunded Capital Commitments

and neither the Administrative Agent nor the other Secured Parties, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall incur any liability in connection with or arising from its exercise of such power of attorney.

The application by the Secured Parties of such funds shall, unless the Administrative Agent shall agree otherwise in writing, be the same as set forth in Section 3.4. The parties hereto acknowledge that all funds so transferred into the Collateral Accounts shall be the property of the applicable Fund Party subject to the first priority security interest of the Administrative Agent therein (subject only to Permitted Liens).

(e) No Representations. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall be deemed to make at any time any representation or warranty as to the validity of any Investor Capital Call nor shall the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties be accountable for any Fund Party’s use of the proceeds of any Investor Capital Contribution.

(f) Except in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement or the Constituent Documents of the Funds, during the existence of any Event of Default, the Funds shall not, without the prior written consent of either the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (which may, in each case, be withheld in their sole discretion): (i) cancel, reduce, excuse, or abate the contributions received, or which shall be received, from the Investors; or (ii) relieve, excuse or delay the Investors from the making of, or postpone, compromise or abate, any such contribution; it being acknowledged and agreed that (except as specified in this Section 5.3(f)) each Fund may at any time and from time to time by agreement between the such Fund and its Investors (without the need for agreement or other actions by any other Person) increase, decrease (but not to less than zero) or otherwise change the amount of the Capital Commitments to such Fund of its Investors without limitation under this Credit Agreement, any Security Agreement, or other Loan Documents.

(g) Except with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders or as otherwise contemplated herein, no Fund Party shall sell, mortgage, hypothecate, assign, transfer or otherwise encumber its interest in the Collateral, or any portion thereof.

5.3 Lender Offset. In addition to the rights granted to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties under Section 5.2, each Borrower hereby grants to each Secured Party a right of offset to secure the repayment of the aggregate Obligations when due to the Secured Parties (solely after the passage of any applicable grace period and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement), upon any and all monies, securities, or other property of such Borrower and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to the Secured Parties, from or for the account of such Borrower, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection, or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or specified) and credits of such Borrower and any and all claims of such Borrower and, against the Secured Parties at any time existing. Subject in all respects to Section 10.5, the Secured Parties are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time during the existence of an Event of Default, without notice to any Credit Party, to offset, appropriate, apply, and enforce such right of offset against any and all items referred to above against the Obligations. Each Borrower shall be deemed directly indebted to the Secured Parties in the full amount of the aggregate Obligations, and the

Secured Parties shall be entitled to exercise the rights of offset provided for above. The rights of the Secured Parties under this Section 5.3 are subject to Sections 10.5 and 12.2. The Administrative Agent, and the Secured Parties, as applicable, shall give the Borrowers prompt notice of any action taken pursuant to this Section 5.3, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action or give rise to any defense in favor of the Borrowers with respect to such action.

5.4 Agreement to Deliver Additional Collateral Documents. The Credit Parties shall deliver (and the Borrowers shall enforce their Assigned Rights to require the Feeder Funds and the Intermediate Entities to deliver) such security agreements, financing statements, assignments, notices and acknowledgments, and other Collateral Documents (all of which shall be deemed part of the Collateral Documents), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of the Secured Parties may reasonably request from time to time to the extent necessary for the granting to, or maintaining or perfecting in favor of the Secured Parties, first priority (but subject only to Permitted Liens) security interests in the Collateral with respect to which the Credit Parties are granting a security interest to the Administrative Agent, together with other assurances of the enforceability and first priority of the Secured Parties’ Liens (but subject only to Permitted Liens) and assurances of due recording and documentation of the Collateral Documents and financing statements, assignments, notices and acknowledgements or copies thereof, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require to avoid material impairment of the first priority Liens and security interests granted or purported to be granted pursuant to this Section 5.

5.5 Subordination. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Control Event, no Credit Party shall, nor shall any Credit Party permit any other Credit Party, Intermediate Fund or Feeder Fund (through the enforcement by any Borrower of its Assigned Rights) to, make any payments or advances of any kind, directly or indirectly, on any debts and liabilities to any other Fund Party or the Investment Manager (unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether direct, indirect, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and howsoever evidenced or created (collectively, the “Other Claims”); provided that a Credit Party may make payment to the Investment Manager, the General Partners and their respective Affiliates for any accrued management fees, incentive fees or other similar fees or compensation due and owing pursuant to the applicable Constituent Document so long as (a) such fees are paid from monies or sums not constituting any part of the Collateral and (b) neither the Investment Manager, the General Partners nor any of their Affiliates are in default with respect to their obligations to fund Investor Capital Contributions. All Other Claims, together with all liens, security interests, and all other encumbrances or charges on assets securing the payment of all or any portion of the Other Claims shall at all times during the occurrence and continuance of a Cash Control Event, be subordinated to and inferior in right and in payment to the Obligations and all liens, security interests, and all other encumbrances or charges on assets securing all or any portion of the Obligations, and each Credit Party agrees to take such actions as are necessary to provide for such subordination between it and any other Fund Party and between any Fund Parties, inter se, including but not limited to including provisions for such subordination in the documents evidencing the Other Claims.

None of the execution and delivery of each Loan Document to be executed by each Credit Party, the consummation of any of the transactions herein and therein contemplated, or the compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, will contravene or conflict, in any material respect, with (a) any provision of law, statute or regulation to which such Credit Party is subject, (b) any judgment, license, order or permit applicable to such Credit Party, (c) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other material agreement or instrument to which such Credit Party is a party, by which such Credit Party may be bound, or to which such Credit Party may be subject, or (d) its Constituent Documents and Fund Documents in each case, except where such contravention or conflict would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or Governmental Authority or third party is required in connection with the execution and delivery by any Credit Party of any Loan Document to be executed by it or to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby other than any consent, approval, authorization or order which has been obtained.

7.4 Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Document to which each Credit Party is a party is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to Debtor Relief Laws and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

7.5 Priority of Liens. Subject to compliance with Section 8.13, the Collateral Documents to which it is a party create, as security for the Obligations, valid and enforceable first priority security interests in and Liens on all of the Collateral in which each Credit Party has any right, title or interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject to no other Liens other than Permitted Liens or Liens granted in favor of other Credit Parties which are ultimately in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in accordance with the Loan Documents, except as enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Such security interests in and Liens on the Collateral in which each Credit Party has any right, title or interest shall be, upon filing of the Filings, and taking of such actions as are contemplated by this Credit Agreement and other Collateral Documents, perfected security interests that have priority over security interests of all third parties in such Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens), and, other than in connection with any future Change in Law or in such Credit Party’s name, identity or structure, or its jurisdiction of organization, as the case may be, no further Filings are or will be required in connection with the creation or perfection of such security interests and Liens, other than the filing of continuation statements, or their equivalent in accordance with Applicable Laws.

7.6 Financial Condition. Each Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent copies of the financial statements and reports, if any, required to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof on the Closing Date, and such financial statements (except for the absence of footnotes in quarterly financial statements or as otherwise disclosed therein) present in all material respects such Borrower’s financial position in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Each Credit Party is Solvent.

7.8 No Default. Except as has been disclosed to the Administrative Agent in writing, no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes an Event of Default or a Default.

7.9 No Litigation.

7.10 Material Adverse Effect. No changes to any Credit Party have occurred since the date of the most recent financial statements of such Credit Party delivered to the Administrative Agent, which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

8.2 Transfers by Existing Investors.

(a) If a Fund or a Fund GP receives any request for the Transfer by an Investor of all or a portion of its interest in the applicable Fund (which such Fund or Fund GP wishes to approve), the Fund or Fund GP shall be entitled to permit such transfer in its discretion, so long as immediately after giving effect to such Transfer no mandatory prepayment would be required pursuant to Section 2.1(e); provided that (x) the Borrowers will provide the Administrative Agent with notice of any such transfer if the applicable transferring Investor is an Included Investor, promptly after the consummation thereof, and (y) all Transfers shall be subject to each Credit Party being KYC Compliant as determined by the Administrative Agent.

(b) If the transferring Investor is a Borrowing Base Investor and is being released from its obligations to make Investor Capital Contributions with respect to its Unfunded Capital Commitment, the Borrowers shall, prior to the effectiveness of any such Transfer, calculate whether any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.1(e) will result from such Transfer (due to the transferee Investor not being designated as a Borrowing Base Investor or otherwise) and, if such a mandatory prepayment would be required (calculated after giving effect to such Transfer), the Borrowers shall (i) provide the Administrative Agent with at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of such Transfer and provide to the Administrative Agent such information as the Administrative

101

Agent shall reasonably request in order to help the Administrative Agent determine if the transferee will qualify as a Borrowing Base Investor (provided that such information is available to the Credit Parties and is not otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions between the applicable Credit Party and such Investor or the transferee) and (ii) either: (x) prior to the effective date of such Transfer, pay to the Lenders the amount, if any, of such mandatory prepayment (for the avoidance of doubt, any such prepayment shall not be subject to Section 3.5, but shall be subject to Section 4.5) or (y) prior to the effective date of such Transfer, receive the approval of the transferee as a Borrowing Base Investor from the Administrative Agent so that no mandatory prepayment will be required in connection with the Transfer. Any such determination shall be governed by the standards and requirements set forth in the definition of “Included Investor” or “Designated Investor” (as applicable). If the Borrowers are unable to deliver sufficient information to the Administrative Agent to enable the Administrative Agent to determine whether such transferee Investor satisfies the requirements of an Included Investor or Designated Investor (as applicable) prior to such effective date, then such transferee Investor shall be deemed not to have satisfied such requirements until such time as the Administrative Agent can make such determination; provided that, any transferee Investor that is otherwise in compliance with the definition of “Included Investor” (as represented by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent in the applicable notice of such Transfer) shall be deemed an Included Investor with the advance rate (as set forth in the definition of “Borrowing Base”) and Concentration Limit of a Designated Investor unless and until such time as the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as applicable, makes the foregoing determination (it being understood that (a) the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as applicable, will not be able to make such determination until the Borrowers have delivered a copy of such transferee Investor’s Subscription Agreement or assignment agreement, any applicable Side Letter (redacted as applicable) entered into with such Person, and a revised Exhibit A-1, and (b) if the Borrowers do not provide the documentation described in the preceding clause (a) to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such Transfer, such transferee Investor shall become an Excluded Investor from and after such thirtieth (30th) day until the Administrative Agent receives such documentation and is able to determine (with the Lenders, if applicable) if such transferee Investor satisfies the requirements of an Included Investor).

(c) With respect to any transferee Investor which is an existing Borrowing Base Investor, the amount of the resulting increase in such transferee Investor’s Unfunded Capital Commitment shall not be included in the Borrowing Base until such transferee Investor has delivered to the applicable Fund or Fund GP written confirmation of its obligations under its Subscription Agreement (and any applicable Side Letter) with respect to its Unfunded Capital Commitment, as increased by such Transfer.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8.2, no Borrower shall recognize or permit a Transfer from any Investor to any other Investor of its interest or any portion thereof if an Event of Default would result from such Transfer.

8.11 Authorizations and Approvals. Each of the Credit Parties will promptly obtain, from time to time at its own expense, all such material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents, permits and approvals as may be required to enable such Credit Party to comply with its obligations hereunder, under each other Loan Document to which it is a party and under its Constituent Documents, except to the extent the failure to maintain any such governmental licenses, authorizations, consents, permits or approvals would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

9.1 Mergers, Etc. Other than in compliance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, none of the Credit Parties shall take any action (a) to merge, consolidate or divide with or into any Person, unless such Credit Party or another Credit Party is the surviving entity, or (b) that will dissolve or terminate such Credit Party.

9.4 Constituent Documents and Related Documents.

(a) Except as hereinafter provided, no Credit Party shall alter, amend, modify, terminate, or change any provision of its Constituent Documents, its certificate of formation (or equivalent document) or any Subscription Agreements to which such Credit Party is a party if any such Proposed Amendment (hereinafter defined) would (i) affect the Borrowers or their Investors’ debts, duties, obligations, and liabilities, or the rights, titles, security interests, Liens, powers and privileges of the Borrowers or, in any case, relating to any Investor Capital Calls, Investor Capital Commitments, Investor Capital Contributions or the shortening of the time period during which they are available, or, except as permitted by this Credit Agreement, suspend, reduce or terminate any Investor’s Unfunded Capital Commitment or that could otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect on the rights, titles, first priority security interests and Liens, and powers and privileges of the

With respect to any proposed alteration, amendment, modification, termination or change (each, a “Proposed Amendment”) to any Constituent Documents, Subscription Agreement, or certificate of formation (or equivalent document) of any Credit Party, such Credit Party shall notify the Administrative Agent of such Proposed Amendment. The Administrative Agent shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of such notice from such Credit Party to determine whether such Proposed Amendment is a Material Amendment (and any failure of the Administrative Agent to respond to such notification within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to be a determination that such Proposed Amendment is not a Material Amendment and an approval of the Proposed Amendment by the Administrative Agent). If the Proposed Amendment is a Material Amendment as determined by the Administrative Agent, the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders will be required, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such request for such approval, distributing, as appropriate, the Proposed Amendment and any other relevant information provided by such Credit Party; subject to Section 12.1, the Lenders shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of such notice from the Administrative Agent to deliver their approval or denial thereof (and any failure of a Lender to respond to such notification within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to be an approval of the Proposed Amendment by such Lender). If the Administrative Agent determines that the Proposed Amendment is not a Material Amendment, the applicable Credit Party may make such amendment without the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders. Such Material Amendment shall not be effective without the approval of the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) but shall not require the approval of any other Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Credit Party may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, amend its applicable Constituent Documents: (w) to extend the investment period or the structuring of the investments, including as primary investments, co-investments, direct investments or secondary investments, (x) to admit new Investors or remove Investors in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement; (y) to reflect transfers of interests in such Credit Party which are permitted by this Credit Agreement; and (z) to implement any action permitted under Section 9.6; provided that such Credit Party shall promptly provide to the Administrative Agent a copy of any such amendment which does not require the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.

(b) The Borrowers shall provide the Administrative Agent with at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of any amendment or modification of any Side Letter of a Borrowing Base Investor that could have an adverse effect on the rights, titles, first priority security interests and Liens, and powers and privileges of the Lenders hereunder. In the event that the Administrative Agent is unable to approve such amendment or modification and a mandatory prepayment would be required pursuant to Section 2.1(e) as a result of such amendment or modification, the Borrowers shall make such mandatory prepayment prior to the effectiveness of such amendment or modification. Thereafter, upon the request of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall consider for approval the applicable Side

107

Letter, as amended or modified, in accordance with the Borrowing Base Criteria and in the event the Administrative Agent approves such Side Letter, as amended or modified, any Exclusion Event which resulted from such amendment or modification shall be deemed to be cured. With respect to any other amendment or modification of any Side Letter of a Borrowing Base Investor, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such amended or modified Side Letter promptly after effectiveness of such amendment or modification.

9.5 Admission of Investors; Transfers of Affiliate Interests; Investor Withdrawals; Alternative Investment Vehicles; Parallel Funds.

(a) Admission of New Investors. No Borrower shall permit any Fund or Fund GP to admit any Person that is an assignee of an interest in such Fund as a substitute Investor or any other Person as a new Investor unless such Person is not a Sanctioned Person and not listed on any list published by OFAC as a Person with whom dealings are prohibited under OFAC Regulations or any comparable list and admission is in accordance with the terms of the applicable Constituent Documents, Subscription Agreement and any Side Letter. Except as set forth in Section 8.2, any such new Investor or existing transferee Investor shall not be included in the Borrowing Base or shall not have the increased portion of its Investor Capital Commitment included in the Borrowing Base, (x) in the case of any new Investor until the Borrowers have delivered a copy of such Investor’s Subscription Agreement or assignment agreement and solely with respect to Borrowing Base Investors any applicable Side Letter (redacted as applicable) entered into with such Person and, a revised Exhibit A-1 to the Administrative Agent, and (y) in the case of any Investor that is an existing Borrowing Base Investor increasing its Investor Capital Commitment, until the Borrowers have delivered a copy of the written confirmation received from such Investor described in Section 8.2(c) to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to approve or disapprove any Side Letter with respect to a proposed Borrowing Base Investor within ten (10) Business Days after receipt from a Borrower.

(b) Transfer by Investors. The Credit Parties shall not permit any Transfer of any interest in a Fund unless explicitly permitted pursuant to this Section 9.5(b). The Fund Parties shall notify the Administrative Agent of any such Transfer by any Included Investor or Designated Investor of all or a portion of any interest in any Fund under the applicable Constituent Documents at least five (5) Business Days before the proposed Transfer, and shall, promptly upon receipt thereof, deliver to the Administrative Agent copies of any proposed assignment agreement and other documentation delivered to, or required of such Investor by, the applicable General Partner. In order for a new Investor to be deemed to be an Included Investor or a Designated Investor, such new Investor must satisfy the criteria therefor as set out in this Credit Agreement. If the transfer of an Investor interest to a new Investor would result in a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.1(e) (due to the transferee not being designated as an Included Investor or a Designated Investor or otherwise), such mandatory prepayment shall be calculated and paid to the Lenders prior to the effectiveness of the transfer and such prepayment shall be subject to Section 4.5. Any transfer of any interest in any Fund by any non-Included Investor to any other Person shall be permitted without the consent of the Administrative Agent or Lenders, subject to

108

such Person’s compliance with Sanctions and being KYC Compliant. Any admission of an assignee of an interest in any Fund or as a substitute Investor and any admission of a Person as a new Investor of any Fund, shall be subject to such Person’s compliance with Sanctions and being KYC Compliant.

(c) Formation of Alternative Investment Vehicles. The Borrower shall not permit any Fund Party to cause Investor Capital Contributions to be made to an Alternative Investment Vehicle that is not a Borrower or Fund Party unless either (A) such Alternative Investment Vehicle has (i) been approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent as a Borrower hereunder and (ii) duly executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent documentation substantially similar, in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent, to that executed by the Borrowers at the Closing Date, including, as applicable, but not limited to a joinder agreement to this Credit Agreement (pursuant to which it agrees to be jointly and severally liable for all Obligations), legal opinions, Constituent Documents, a Security Agreement, a Pledge of Collateral Account, and such other Collateral Documents and Loan Documents and filings as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, under which the Alternative Investment Vehicle will grant to the Administrative Agent a security interest in (x) such Alternative Investment Vehicle’s right to call Investor Capital Contributions with respect to the Unfunded Capital Commitments of its Investors, and (y) the Collateral Account(s) into which its Investor Capital Contributions are due to be paid or (B) the Borrower has either (i) made a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.1(e) that would be required as a result of such Investor Capital Contribution prior to the effectiveness of such Investor Capital Contribution or (ii) the Administrative Agent is otherwise satisfied that no mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.1(e) will result from such Investor Capital Contribution. Upon the satisfaction of the requirements of this Section 9.5(c), the Alternative Investment Vehicle shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Credit Agreement as an AIV Borrower hereunder unless clause (B) of the prior sentence applies.

(d) Formation of Parallel Funds. None of the Borrowers which are Funds shall, nor shall any Borrower permit and Fund GPs to either (i) form a Parallel Fund to which the Unfunded Capital Commitments of one or more Investors are transferred from any Fund or (ii) cause Investor Capital Contributions to be made to a Parallel Fund that is not a Borrower hereunder, unless such Parallel Fund has executed documentation and provided such filings and notices to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent providing a first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in such transferred Investor Capital Commitments ultimately to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

9.6 Capital Commitments. None of the Credit Parties shall (and each Credit Party shall cause BlackRock (as defined in the applicable Constituent Documents) and the Investment Manager not to) permit any redemption, Transfer, withdrawal, termination, reduction, elimination, suspension, excuse, waiver or cancellation with respect to all or any portion of BlackRock’s Capital Commitment without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and that the failure of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders to respond to notice from the Credit Parties requesting such consent within ten (10) Business Days shall be deemed to

109

constitute such consent; provided further, that, such consent shall not be required (x) to the extent such redemption, Transfer, withdrawal, termination, reduction, elimination, suspension, excuse, waiver or cancellation is reasonably deemed necessary, advisable or appropriate by the General Partner to comply with Applicable Law or to reduce, eliminate or otherwise modify, the impact of Applicable Law on, or applicability thereof to, BlackRock, any of its Affiliates, or any fund organized, offered and/or managed by BlackRock or any of its Affiliates, (y) to any Affiliate of the General Partner; provided further that such Affiliate fulfills the requirements of Applicable Law or (z) any change appropriate to cause the applicable Fund to conduct its business in compliance with Applicable Laws. None of the Credit Parties shall permit any withdrawal, termination, reduction, suspension, excuse, formal waiver or other cancellation with respect to an obligation of any Investor under its Subscription Agreement or the applicable Constituent Documents or any Side Letter without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders which may be withheld in their sole discretion. Prior to giving effect to any termination, suspension, cancellation, reduction, excuse or waiver pursuant to this Section 9.6, or any withdrawal or transfer pursuant to this Section 9.6 (other than a Transfer by an Investor of all or a portion of its interest in the applicable Fund, which (for the avoidance of doubt) the parties acknowledge is governed by Section 8.2 rather than this Section 9.6), the Available Commitment will be calculated, and if such action would result in a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.1(e), such prepayment shall be made prior to the effectiveness of such withdrawal, termination, suspension, transfer, cancellation, reduction, excuse or waiver.

9.7 ERISA Compliance. No Borrower shall establish, maintain or have any liability to any Plan. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Borrower shall have any liability to any ERISA Affiliate Plan. Assuming no source of funds used to make the Loans constitutes Plan Assets unless such use of Plan Assets is covered by a prohibited transaction exemption, all the conditions of which are satisfied, no Credit Party shall take any action (or omit to take any action), which would give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 4975(c)(1)(A) – (D) of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 406(a) of ERISA with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents that would subject the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any tax, penalty, damages or any other claim or relief under the Internal Revenue Code or ERISA. No Borrower shall fail to satisfy an exception under the Plan Asset Regulations which failure causes the assets of any such Borrower to be deemed Plan Assets.

9.8 Dissolution. Other than in compliance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of all Lenders (in their sole discretion), none of the Credit Parties shall terminate or dissolve any Credit Party.

9.9 Limitations on Distributions. No Borrower shall make or permit to be made any Distribution (as defined below) from itself to any Investor unless (i) such Distribution is permitted pursuant to its Constituent Documents and (ii) no Cash Control Event shall have occurred and be continuing, other than Permitted Distributions, provided, that, no Permitted Distributions may be made from any Collateral Account during an Event of Default under Section 10.1(a), Section 10.1(h), Section 10.1(i) or an Event of Default that has resulted in acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations hereunder. Except as set forth in the previous sentence, Permitted Distributions may be made from any Collateral Account during a Cash Control Event if such amounts being distributed (i) were in the Collateral Account prior to the occurrence of the Cash Control Event

110

(and such amounts are not proceeds of a call that triggered a mandatory prepayment hereunder) or (ii) were deposited into such Collateral Account pursuant to a Drawdown made after the occurrence of the Cash Control Event and the amount of such Drawdown (x) was less than 2% of the Initial Borrower’s assets and (y) did not cause trigger a mandatory prepayment hereunder. For the purposes of this Section 9.9:

“Distribution” means any dividend or distributions (whether or not in cash) on account of any partnership interest, membership interest or other equity interest in a Credit Party, including as a dividend or other distribution and on account of the purchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition of any such partnership interest, membership interest or other equity interest (it being acknowledged that, subject to Section 5.5 hereof, the Investment Manager and any Affiliates exercising control over any Credit Party, shall be entitled to receive any fees payable to it pursuant to the Constituent Documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Distribution to one or more Feeder Funds or Intermediate Entities shall be permitted.

“Permitted Distributions” mean, without duplication, (a) Distributions required to maintain the status of Borrower as a RIC and (b) Distributions required to avoid federal excise taxes imposed by Section 4982 of the Internal Revenue Code.

9.10 Limitations on Indebtedness. Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, none of the Credit Parties shall incur any Indebtedness other than Indebtedness permitted under the applicable Subscription Agreement or Partnership Agreement, which may include without limitation:

(i) Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Credit Agreement; and

(ii) Indebtedness under Swap Agreements, provided that, in each case, such Indebtedness, is not secured by any Collateral.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.10 does not restrict the incurrence of Indebtedness of any Subsidiary that is not a Credit Party.

9.11 Limitation on Withdrawals. Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, none of the Credit Parties shall, nor shall such Credit Party permit any other Credit Party to (and in the case of each Feeder Fund or Intermediate Entity, the applicable Borrower shall enforce its rights pursuant to any applicable Feeder Fund Document or Intermediate Entity Document so as to require the Feeder Funds or Intermediate Entities not to) make or cause the making of any withdrawal or transfer of funds constituting Collateral from any Collateral Account if the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrowers or a Responsible Officer of a Borrower has actual knowledge that a Cash Control Event has occurred and is continuing, other than withdrawals for the purpose of repaying Obligations or to eliminate or reduce the circumstances giving rise to the Cash Control Event. The Administrative Agent is authorized to give notice of its exclusive control of the Collateral Accounts to the depository bank if a Cash Control Event has occurred and is continuing.

9.12 Transfers by Credit Parties. Other than in compliance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, none of the Credit Parties shall transfer, withdraw or assign its interest in any

111

other Credit Party or its obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, which consent may be granted or withheld in their sole and absolute discretion.

9.13 Deemed Capital Contributions. Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all Lenders, none of the Borrowers which are Funds, shall, nor shall any Borrower permit any of the Fund GPs to, reinvest Portfolio Investment proceeds which are distributable to Investors if such reinvestment would reduce the Unfunded Capital Commitment of one or more Investors and cause the Principal Obligations to exceed the Available Commitment unless, prior to such reinvestment, the applicable Borrowers shall make any prepayment required under Section 2.1(e).

9.14 Change of Depository Bank or Securities Intermediary. No Credit Party shall permit the depository bank or securities intermediary with respect to any Collateral Account to change without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being understood that any successor depository bank or securities intermediary shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent simultaneous with becoming the successor depository bank or securities intermediary such documents and agreements (including, without limitation, control agreements and acknowledgments and agreements to provide information to the Administrative Agent with respect to Investors) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request).

9.15 Collateral Accounts. No Credit Party shall direct, authorize or otherwise permit any proceeds, monies or sums paid by the Investors pursuant to any Capital Call to be deposited, credited or otherwise included in any account other than a Collateral Account. No Credit Party shall, and shall not cause any of its Subsidiaries to, deposit or otherwise credit, or cause or permit to be so deposited or credited, to the Collateral Accounts cash or cash proceeds other than Capital Contributions.

10.6 Events of Default or Defaults relating to Qualified Borrowers. Notwithstanding any provision in this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, if an Event of Default or Default relating solely to a Qualified Borrower shall occur, upon the payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent obligations that have not been asserted) of such Qualified Borrower hereunder, (1) such Event of Default or Default shall be deemed to be cured and (2) such Qualified Borrower shall no longer have the ability to borrow hereunder and shall be withdrawn as a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8(f).

Section 11.

AGENCY PROVISIONS

11.1 Appointment and Authorization of Agents.

(a) Authority. Each Lender (including any Person that is an assignee, participant, secured party or other transferee with respect to the interest of such Lender in any Principal Obligation or otherwise under this Credit Agreement) (collectively with such Lender, a “Lender Party”) hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes each Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties, rights, powers and authority as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere herein and in the other Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, nor shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist against any Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and no Credit Party or Affiliate thereof (each, a “Borrower Party”) or Investor or Affiliate thereof shall have

121

any rights as a third-party beneficiary of the provisions hereof (except as provided in Section 11.9 (regarding the Credit Parties’ consent right set forth in the first sentence thereof) or Section 11.10).

(b) Release of Collateral. The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s option and in its sole discretion, to release, discharge and reassign any security interest in or Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent: (i) upon termination of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all of the Obligations (other than contingent reimbursements and indemnification obligations not then due), including all fees and indemnified costs and expenses that are then due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents; (ii) pursuant to any express provision of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (iii) if approved by the Lenders, pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.1(b).

(c) Rights as a 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 the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

11.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals selected by such Agent concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender Party for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care, nor shall it be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 11 shall apply to any such sub-agent of such Agent.

11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties, rights, powers, authority or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. No Agent nor any of its affiliates, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact (each such person, an “Agent-Related Person”), shall be liable to any Lender Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection herewith or in connection with any of the other Loan Documents or with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number of percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary), or, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.2 or 12.1 as the Administrative Agent shall in good faith believe shall be necessary or be responsible in any manner to any Lender Party for any recitals, statements,

122

representations or warranties made by any of the Borrower Parties contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for therein, or received by such Agent under or in connection herewith or in connection with the other Loan Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency therefor of any of the other Loan Documents, or for any failure of any Borrower Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly provided for hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by 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); provided that the no Agent-Related Person shall be required to take any action that, in its reasonable opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent-Related Person to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of any Debtor Relief Law. No Agent-Related Person shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by any Agent-Related Person in any capacity. No Agent-Related Person shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. No Agent-Related Person shall incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of such Agent-Related Person (including, but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or Governmental Authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility). No Agent- Related Person shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by a Credit Party or a Lender. No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible to any Lender Party for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made by any Borrower Party in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by the Agent-Related Person to the Lenders or by or on behalf of the Borrower Parties to the Agent-Related Person or any Lender Party or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or of the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower Parties. The Agents are not trustees for the Lenders and owe no fiduciary duty or other implied duty to the Lenders, regardless of whether a Default has occurred or is continuing. No Agent-Related Person shall be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of its duties under the Loan Documents or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers under this Credit Agreement. Each Lender Party recognizes and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to determine independently whether the conditions described in Sections 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) have been satisfied and, when the Administrative Agent disburses funds to any Borrower or the

123

Letter of Credit Issuer causes Letters of Credit to be issued or accepts any Qualified Borrower Guaranties, the Administrative Agent may rely fully upon statements contained in the relevant requests by a Borrower Party.

11.4 Reliance on Communications. The Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, email, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any of the Borrower Parties, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agents with reasonable care). Each Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of its interests hereunder for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 12.11(d). Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Credit Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically required, all of the Lenders) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders (including their successors and assigns).

11.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower Party referring to the Loan Document, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders and as is permitted by the Loan Documents.

11.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent-Related Person hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents

124

expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

11.7 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify, upon demand, each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by a Borrower Party and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower Parties to do so), ratably in accordance with the applicable Lender’s Lender Pro Rata Share, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following payment in full of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by it under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment, or related to another Lender; provided further that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 11.7. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney costs) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower Parties. The agreements in this Section 11.7 shall survive the termination of the Commitments, payment of all of the Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, as well as the resignation or replacement of any Agent.

11.8 Agents in Their Individual Capacity. Each Agent (and any successor acting as an Agent) and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any Borrower Party (or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as though such Agent were not an Agent or a Lender hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower Parties or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that such Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to the Loans made and all obligations owing to it, an Agent acting in its individual capacity shall have the same rights and powers under this Credit Agreement

125

as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

11.9 Successor Agent.

(a) Resignation of Administrative Agent. (i) The Administrative Agent may at any time give thirty (30) days’ notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may resign and appoint one of its Affiliates acting through an office as successor by giving notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to the consent of the Borrowers (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such appointment), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer and, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(i) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 11 and Section 12.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring

126

or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective related parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(ii) Any resignation by SMBC as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.9 shall also constitute its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer,

(iii) the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(iv) If the Administrative Agent is removed by the Required Lenders then such removal will be at the expense and cost of the Lenders.

(b) Resignation of Other Agents. Any other Agent may, at any time, resign upon written notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the applicable Agent, then the retiring Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrowers, a successor Agent from any of the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and shall assume the duties and obligations of such retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 11.9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Credit Agreement.

11.10 Reliance by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall be entitled to rely upon, and to act or refrain from acting on the basis of, any notice, statement, certificate, waiver or other document or instrument delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Credit Parties, so long as the Administrative Agent is purporting to act in its respective capacity as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement, and the Credit Parties shall not be responsible or liable to any Lender (or to any Participant or to any Assignee), or as a result of any action or failure to act (including actions or omissions which would otherwise constitute defaults hereunder) which is based upon such reliance upon the Administrative Agent. The Credit Parties shall be entitled to treat the Administrative Agent as the properly authorized Administrative Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement until the Credit Parties shall have received notice of resignation, and the Credit Parties shall not be obligated to recognize any successor Administrative Agent until the Credit Parties shall have received written notification satisfactory to them of the appointment of such successor.

127

11.11 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Liability shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Principal Obligations, Letter of Credit Liability and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Party, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent hereunder.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Secured Party or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party in any such proceeding.

The Administrative Agent agrees that it will promptly notify each Lender of any proposed modification, waiver or amendment to any Loan Document, and deliver drafts of such proposed modification, waiver or amendment to such Lenders, prior to the effectiveness of such proposed modification, waiver or amendment; provided that the Administrative Agent providing such notice (other than in order to obtain the necessary consents required above) shall not be a condition to the effectiveness of any such modification, waiver or amendment. Notwithstanding the above: (A) no provisions of Section 11 may be waived, amended or modified without the consent of the Administrative Agent, or, to the extent affected thereby, any other Agent; (B) no provisions of Section 2.14 may be amended or modified without the consent of the Letter of Credit Issuer; and (C) Section 8 and Section 9 specify the requirements for waivers of the Affirmative Covenants and Negative Covenants listed therein, and any amendment to a provision of Section 8 or Section 9 shall require the consent of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent that are specified therein as required for a waiver thereof. Any amendment, waiver or consent not specifically addressed in this Section 12.1 or otherwise shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above: (1) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein; (2) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Fund Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; and (3) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, agree to the modification or waiver of any of the other terms of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any action or failure to act by any Fund Party, if such modification, waiver, or consent is of an administrative nature.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document if the same is not reasonably objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within three (3) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

If the Administrative Agent shall request the consent of any Lender to any amendment, change, waiver, discharge, termination, consent or exercise of rights covered by this Credit Agreement, and shall not receive such consent or denial thereof in writing within ten (10) Business Days of the making of such request by the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall be deemed to have given its consent to the request.

12.2 Sharing of Offsets. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agree that if it shall, through the exercise of any right of counterclaim, offset, banker’s lien or otherwise, receive payment of a portion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due to such Lender hereunder which constitutes a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees then due to such Lender hereunder than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due with respect to such other Lenders under

130

this Credit Agreement, then such Lender shall purchase participations in the Obligations under this Credit Agreement held by such other Lenders so that all such recoveries of principal, interest and fees with respect to this Credit Agreement, the Notes and the Obligations thereunder held by the Lenders shall be pro rata according to each Lender’s outstanding Obligations (determined as of the date thereof and regardless of any change in any Lender’s outstanding Obligations caused by such Lender’s receipt of a proportionately greater or lesser payment hereunder).

12.3 Sharing of Collateral. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Lender and the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, agrees that if it shall, through the receipt of any proceeds from an Investor Capital Call or the exercise of any remedies under any Collateral Documents, receive or be entitled to receive payment of a portion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due to it under this Credit Agreement which constitutes a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees then due to such Lender under this Credit Agreement than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due with respect to any Obligations to such Lender under this Credit Agreement, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, as the case may be, shall purchase participations in the Obligations under this Credit Agreement held by such other Lenders so that all such recoveries of principal, interest and fees with respect to this Credit Agreement, the Notes and the Obligations thereunder held by the Lenders shall be pro rata according to each Lender’s outstanding Obligations (determined as of the date hereof and regardless of any change in any Lender’s outstanding Obligations caused by such Lender’s receipt of a proportionately greater or lesser payment hereunder). Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to coordinate and implement the sharing of collateral contemplated by this Section 12.3 prior to the distribution of proceeds from Investor Capital Calls or proceeds from the exercise of remedies under the Collateral Documents prior to making any distributions of such proceeds to each Lender or the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender.

12.4 Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or Lender, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall be in addition to all other rights provided by Applicable Law. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand. A waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.

12.5 Payment of Expenses; Indemnity.

Any Credit Party 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.

12.7 Governing Law. This Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document (except, at to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein), and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to or in connection therewith, the relationship of the parties, and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to any conflicts of law principles other than Section 5- 1401 of the New York General Obligations Law.

12.8 Choice of Forum; Consent to Service of Process and Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury. Any suit, action or proceeding against any Credit Party with respect to this Credit Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof, may be brought in the courts of the State of New York, or in the United States Courts located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, pursuant to Section 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, as the Lenders in their reasonable discretion may elect, and each Credit Party hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit, action or proceeding. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in said court by the mailing thereof by the applicable party by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Credit Party’s address set forth in Section 12.6. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably waives any objections which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Credit Agreement or the Notes brought in the courts located in the State of New York, Borough of Manhattan in New York City, and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, WHICH WAIVER IS INFORMED AND VOLUNTARY.

12.9 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Credit Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Credit Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable and this Credit Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Credit Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Credit Agreement, unless such continued effectiveness of this Credit Agreement, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the

137

parties as expressed herein. If any provision of this Credit Agreement shall conflict with or be inconsistent with any provision of any of the other Loan Documents, then the terms, conditions and provisions of this Credit Agreement shall prevail.

12.10 Entirety. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

12.11 Parties Bound; Assignment.

(a) Parties Bound. The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that, except as expressly permitted hereby, no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its respective rights under this Credit Agreement without the prior written consent of all the Lenders.

(b) Participations. With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, any Lender may (subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section 12.11) at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions, other than a Competitor of the Investment Manager or a Borrower (each a “Participant”) a participating interest in its Commitment or any or all of its Principal Obligations. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce and exercise any rights and perform its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the Obligations including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement. The voting rights of each Participant shall be limited to (i) reductions or increases in the amount, or altering the term, of the Commitment of such Participant and(ii) changes to the Maturity Date or interest rate. The Credit Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4 and Section 5.3 with respect to its participating interest, to the extent that such Participant complies with the requirements of such Sections (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.1(f) shall be delivered to the granting Lender), as if it were a Lender; provided that in no event shall any Borrower be obligated to pay to such Participant amounts greater than those such Borrower would have been required to pay to the granting Lender in the absence of such participation, except to the extent that such obligation to pay such greater amounts results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquires the applicable participation. 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 12.12 with respect to any Participant. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Credit Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest which is permitted in accordance with this subsection (b). Each Lender that sells a participating interest in any Loan, Commitment or other interest to a Participant shall, as agent of the Credit Parties solely for

138

the purpose of this Section 12.11(b), record in book entries maintained by such Lender the name and the principal amount (and stated interest) of the participating interest of each Participant entitled to receive payments in respect of such participating interests (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitment, loan, 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 the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Credit Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c) Preservation. In the event of a transfer, assignment, novation or amendment of the rights and/or the obligations under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, all security interests, guarantees and privileges created under or in connection with the Loan Documents shall automatically and without any formality be preserved for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, any Assignee and the other Secured Parties.

(d) Assignments by Lenders. With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and, other than (x) during the continuance of an Event of Default that has been continuing for more than thirty (30) consecutive days or (y) in the case of an assignment to an existing Lender, or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender that is an Eligible Institution, the Borrowers (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), any Lender may (at its expense) at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part of all (in a constant, not varying, percentage), of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement; provided that:

(i) this Section 12.11(d) shall not restrict a pledge or grant of liens by any Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, but no such assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder;

(ii) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, or the assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, any assignment shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent, and, other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers;

(iii) the assignee shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent any documentation required pursuant to Section 4.1(f);

139

(iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and pay to the transferor Lender an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, and the transferor Lender shall deliver payment of a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment;

(v) notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.11 to the contrary, it shall be reasonable for the Borrowers to decline consent to an assignment to a Lender which does not agree to waive its rights under Section 5.3 of this Credit Agreement;

(vi) notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.11 to the contrary, no such assignment shall be made to (A) any Fund Party or any Fund Party’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B) or (C) a Competitor, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and been continuing for more than 120 consecutive days.

(e) Consequences of Assignment by Lenders. Upon execution and delivery of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall become party to this Credit Agreement as a Lender and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required.

(f) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (d) of this Section 12.11 and, in addition:

(i) the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender that is an Eligible Institution;

(ii) the consent of the Letter of Credit Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment; and

(iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender.

(g) Limitations on Assignments and Participations. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.11 to the contrary, (i) each Participant and each Assignee must be a Qualified Purchaser and (ii) prior to an Event of Default, at no time shall there be more

140

than two (2) Lenders and Participants in the aggregate without the consent of the Borrowers in their sole discretion.

(h) Register of Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its principal offices in London or at such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to each Lender and the Borrowers, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and each Lender Joinder Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the amount of each Lender’s pro rata share of the Commitments and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans, and the name and address of each Lender’s agent for service of process in New York (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each person or entity whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection and copying by any Borrower or any Lender during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent. A Lender may change its address and its agent for service of process upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be effective upon actual receipt by the Administrative Agent, which receipt will be acknowledged by the Administrative Agent upon request. Upon receipt of any Assignment and Acceptance Agreement or Lender Joinder Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement or Lender Joinder Agreement has been completed, fully-executed and is in the form of Exhibit G or Exhibit N, as applicable, attached hereto: (i) accept such an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement or Lender Joinder Agreement; (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers.

(i) Addition of Lenders. In accordance with Section 2.13, at the request of the Borrowers, a new lender may join the Credit Facility as a Lender by delivering a Lender Joinder Agreement to the Administrative Agent, and such new Lender shall assume all rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that:

(i) the Commitment of the new Lender shall be in addition to the Commitment of the existing Lenders in effect on the date of such new Lender’s entry into the Credit Facility and the Maximum Commitment shall be increased in a corresponding amount in accordance with Section 2.13; and

(ii) the parties shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Lender Joinder Agreement, the Borrowers shall execute such new Notes as the Administrative Agent or any Lender may request, and the new Lender shall deliver payment of a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent, which amount the Administrative Agent may waive in its sole discretion.

(j) Disclosure of Information. Any Lender may furnish any information concerning any Borrower Party in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 12.17.

141

(k) Lender Representation. Each Lender represents and warrants that it is (and its Participants, if any, will be) a Qualified Purchaser.

12.12 Lender Removal/Replacement.

(a) If for any reason any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or the Borrowers at law or in equity, such Lender’s right to vote on matters related to this Credit Agreement, and to participate in the administration of the Loans and this Credit Agreement, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal. The Borrowers may, upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and, if applicable, such Defaulting Lender, with respect to (x) a Defaulting Lender, (y) a Lender who does not consent to an amendment or waiver under Section 12.1 or that does not consent to an extension of the Stated Maturity Date under Section 2.12(a), or (z) a Secured Party requesting compensation or indemnification under Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 4.5 or Section 4.6, as the case may be, require such Defaulting Lender, non-consenting Lender or Secured Party to (i) assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.11), all its interests, rights and obligations as a Lender under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (ii) resign from its obligations as Lender or Secured Party under this Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents and the Borrowers may reduce the Maximum Commitment by an amount equal to such Lender or Secured Party’s Commitment on a non-pro-rata basis; provided that (x) the assigning Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans funded by it, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all accrued and unpaid fees to which such Lender is entitled and all other Obligations payable to such Lender hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal balance, accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other Obligations) and (y) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a demand for compensation or indemnification under Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 4.5 or Section 4.6 such assignment will result in a reduction in or will eliminate such compensation or payments. Any such assignment shall be made upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice delivered by the Borrowers to the Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent. The Defaulting Lender required to assign pursuant to this Section 12.12 shall have no duty to procure an assignee. Subject to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation to acquire at par all of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, including its Lender Pro Rata Share (immediately prior to becoming a Defaulting Lender) of the Obligations under this Credit Agreement. In the event that the Administrative Agent does not exercise its right to so acquire all of such Lender’s interests, then each Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender (a “Current Party”) shall then, thereupon, have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire at par (or if more than one Current Party exercises such right, each Current Party shall have the right to acquire, pro rata, at par) such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, including its Lender Pro Rata Share (immediately prior to becoming a Defaulting Lender) of the outstanding Obligations under this Credit Agreement.

142

(b) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participations in the Letter of Credit Liability shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Lender Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Principal Obligations of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to Section 12.21, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(c) Reduction in Maximum Commitment. If the reallocation described in Section 12.12(b) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have submitted a request for reduction in the Maximum Commitment equal to such excess in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.6.

12.13 Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, in no event shall the rate of interest payable by any Borrower with respect to any Obligation exceed the Maximum Rate.

12.14 Headings. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Credit Agreement.

12.15 Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties herein shall survive delivery of the Notes, the making of the Loans.

12.16 Full Recourse. Notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, (i) the Obligations of any Borrower shall be fully recourse only to such Borrower and (ii) the Obligations shall not be recourse to any Investor, any General Partner or to any of the Borrowers’ or General Partners’ past, present or future directors, officers, employees, incorporators, authorized persons or agents, or the Investment Manager, except, in each case, with respect to the Collateral pledged and granted by way of assignment pursuant to the Loan Documents and for any claim or action for actual damages of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders as a result of any fraud, bad faith, willful misrepresentation or willful misappropriation of proceeds from the Credit Facility on the part of such Person, in which event there shall be full recourse against such Person. The Portfolio Investments shall not be included in the Collateral. No Investor shall have any personal liability under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the obligations of such Investor under the Partnership Agreement of the applicable Fund or its Subscription Agreement to make Investor Capital Contributions with respect to its Unfunded Capital Commitment.

12.17 Availability of Records; Confidentiality. (a) The Agent and the Lenders agree to keep confidential (and use only in connection with this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby) any Confidential Information; (b) the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Agents may provide such Confidential Information (other than Investor Information) to the Lenders, and that the Agents and each Lender may provide to any Affiliate thereof or Participant or Assignee or proposed Participant or Assignee and each of

143

their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, auditors, counsel, rating agencies, commercial paper dealers, commercial paper conduit service providers and agents or any other Person as deemed necessary or appropriate in any Agent’s or Lender’s reasonable judgment; provided that such party is advised of the confidential nature of such information, originals or copies of this Credit Agreement, all Loan Documents and all other documents, certificates, opinions, reports, and other material information of every nature or description, and may communicate all oral information, at any time submitted by or on behalf of any Borrower Party or received by an Agent or a Lender in connection with the Principal Obligations, the Letter of Credit Liability, the Commitments or any Borrower Party; provided that, prior to any such delivery or communication, the Agent, Affiliate of an Agent, Lender, Affiliate of a Lender, Participant, or Assignee, or proposed Participant or Assignee or such other Person, as the case may be, shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of all data and information which constitutes Confidential Information; (c) the Borrowers and the Agents (i) acknowledge and agree that (x) the identities of the Investors, any structural or financial information delivered by the Investors, the amounts of their respective Investor Capital Commitments and details regarding their investments under the applicable Subscription Agreements or Partnership Agreements (collectively, the “Investor Information”) have been and will be delivered on a confidential basis to the Administrative Agent and SMBC, as lender, provided that, (A) the Administrative Agent and SMBC, as lender, shall disclose such Investor Information within the Administrative Agent, SMBC and its counsel only to those persons responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Credit Facility, (B) the Administrative Agent and SMBC, as lender, shall preserve the confidentiality of the Investors and shall not disclose the identities of the Investors to any and all other persons including any other Lender (and each of their respective employees, representatives, or other agents), (C) the Administrative Agent and SMBC, as lender, shall use Investor Information only in the context of enforcing rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Facility and shall not use Investor Information to solicit the Investors; provided that such restriction shall not prohibit any independent solicitation by SMBC or its Affiliates without reliance on such Investor Information (it being acknowledged and agreed that such Investor Information will not be shared with such Affiliate for any purpose) and (D) upon written request of the Borrowers, all Investor Information received by the Administrative Agent and SMBC, as lender, will be returned, destroyed or erased, as applicable, by the Administrative Agent and SMBC, as lender, as soon as reasonably practicable, after the Maturity Date; and (y) information with respect to Portfolio Investments has been and will be delivered on a confidential basis; (ii) acknowledge and agree that such Investor Information and information with respect to Portfolio Investments are Confidential Information; and (iii) agree that such Investor Information and information with respect to Portfolio Investments shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 12.17; and (d) anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 12.17 shall not preclude or restrict any such Person from disclosing any Confidential Information: (i) with the prior written consent of any Credit Party; (ii) upon the order of or pursuant to the rules and regulations of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such party; (iii) in connection with any audit by an independent public accountant of such party, provided that such auditor thereto agrees to keep such information confidential; (iv) to examiners or auditors of any applicable Governmental Authority which examines such party’s books and records while conducting such examination or audit; (v) as otherwise specifically required by Applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (vi) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the

144

enforcement of rights thereunder, (vii) to the extent such information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.17 or (B) becomes available to such Person on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Credit Parties or (viii) which relates to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such Person relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, to taxing authorities. Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 12.17(c)(i)(x)(D), (i) the Administrative Agent will be permitted to retain Confidential Information to comply with any applicable laws or regulations and to satisfy internal audit or compliance requirements, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to delete Confidential Information from back-up archival electronic storage in accordance with security and/or disaster recovery procedures.

The provisions of this Section 12.17 shall survive termination of this Credit Agreement, and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Obligations for a period of one (1) year from the termination of this Credit Agreement.

12.18 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, as amended (the “Patriot Act”) and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party (and, in certain circumstances, each beneficial owner thereof), which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party (and any beneficial owner, as applicable) and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Credit Party (and any beneficial owner, as applicable) in accordance with the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

12.19 Multiple Counterparts. This Credit Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Credit Agreement by signing any such counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof, or a signature page hereto, by facsimile or in a .pdf or similar file shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart thereof.

12.20 Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower acknowledges, represents and warrants the following:

(a) Inducement. The Lenders have been induced to make the Loans to the Borrowers in part based upon the assurances by each Borrower that each Borrower desires that the Notes be honored and enforced as separate obligations of each Borrower, should the Administrative Agent and the Lenders desire to do so.

(b) Combined Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loans and the other Obligations constitute the joint and several obligations of each and every Borrower, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at their option enforce the entire amount of the Loans and the other Obligations against any one or more of the Borrowers.

(c) Separate Exercise of Remedies. The Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) may exercise remedies against any Borrower and its property separately,

145

whether or not the Administrative Agent exercises remedies against any other Borrower or its property. The Administrative Agent may enforce any Borrower’s obligations without enforcing any other Borrower’s obligations. Any failure or inability of the Administrative Agent to enforce any Borrower’s obligations shall not in any way limit the Administrative Agent’s right to enforce the obligations of any other Borrower. If the Administrative Agent forecloses or exercises similar remedies under any one or more Collateral Documents, then such foreclosure or similar remedy shall be deemed to reduce the balance of the Loans only to the extent of the cash proceeds actually realized by the Lenders from such foreclosure or similar remedy or, if applicable, the Administrative Agent’s credit bid at such sale, regardless of the effect of such foreclosure or similar remedy on the Loans secured by such Collateral Documents under the applicable state law.

12.21 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(B) at private sale, in which event such notice shall also contain the terms of the proposed sale, and the Pledgors shall have until the time of such proposed sale in which to redeem the Collateral or to procure a purchaser willing, ready and able to purchase the Collateral on terms more favorable to the Pledgors, the Secured Parties, and if such a purchaser is so procured, then the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall sell the Collateral to the purchaser so procured;

(ii) to bid for and to acquire, unless prohibited by Applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the UCC), free from any redemption right, the Collateral, or any part thereof, and, if the Secured Parties are then the holders of the Secured Obligations or any participation or other interest therein, in lieu of paying cash therefor, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties may make settlement for the selling price by crediting the net selling price, if any, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind, upon the outstanding

(iii) appropriate all or part of the Collateral at its fair value as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith or an external auditor or investment bank appointed by the Administrative Agent; and

(c) In case of any sale by the Administrative Agent of any of the Collateral on credit, which may be elected at the option and in the complete discretion of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties until the selling price is paid by the purchaser, but neither the Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall incur any liability in case of failure of the purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold. In case of any such failure, such Collateral so sold may be again similarly sold.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall incur any liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral at any private sale or sales.

13. Notwithstanding a foreclosure upon any of the Collateral or exercise of any other remedy by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (a) no Pledgor shall be subrogated thereby to any rights of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against the Collateral or any other security for the Secured Obligations, or any Pledgor, or any property of any Pledgor; (b) no Pledgor be deemed to be the owner of any interest in the Secured Obligations; and (c) no Pledgor, subject to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement, exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Pledgor or the Collateral or any other security for the Secured Obligations or any of them or the property of any Pledgor until such Secured Obligations have been paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and is fully performed and discharged, unless otherwise requested in writing to do so by the Administrative Agent.

15. (a) The Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall have all rights, remedies and recourse granted to them in the Loan Documents and any other instruments executed to provide security for or in connection with the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations or existing at common law or equity (including those granted by the UCC and the right of offset), and such rights and remedies: (i) shall be cumulative and concurrent; (ii) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against any or all Pledgors and any other party obligated under the Secured Obligations, or against the Collateral, or any of such Collateral, or any other security for the Secured Obligations, or any of them, at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties; (iii) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by the Pledgors that the exercise or failure to exercise any of the same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse; and (iv) are intended to be and shall be, non-exclusive.

13. Should any person other than the Pledgor have heretofore executed or hereafter execute, in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or the Secured Parties any deed of trust, mortgage or security agreement, or have heretofore pledged or hereafter pledge any other property to secure the payment of the Obligations, or any part thereof, the exercise by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or any Secured Party of any right or power conferred upon any of them in any such instrument, or by any such pledge, shall be wholly discretionary with the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party, and the exercise or failure to exercise any such right or power shall not impair or diminish the Administrative Agent’s or the Secured Parties’ rights, titles, interest, liens, and powers existing hereunder.

14. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall be liable for any loss of interest on or any penalty or charge assessed against funds in, payable on or credited to the Pledgor Collateral Account as a result of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party exercising any of its rights or remedies under this Pledge, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party.

16. Should any part of the Obligations be payable in installments, the acceptance by the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time of partial payment of the aggregate amount of all installments then matured shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any default then existing. No waiver by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, or the Secured Parties of any default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent default, nor shall any such waiver by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, or the Secured Parties be deemed to be a continuing waiver. No delay or omission by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, or the Secured Parties in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other writings executed by the Pledgor or any other obligor as security for or in connection with the Obligations shall impair any such right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, or the Secured Parties hereunder or under such other writings.

[DATE]

1. In connection with the Credit Agreement (as defined below), the undersigned, the Primary Borrower (the “Borrower”), hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees, in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties (collectively, the “Creditor”), the prompt payment when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) of all interest, principal, fees, expenses and other amounts now or hereafter represented by, or arising in connection with: (a) those certain Qualified Borrower Promissory Notes payable to the order of the Creditor by each Qualified Borrower identified on Schedule A annexed hereto (as amended from time to time pursuant to paragraph 11 below), including, without limitation, all liabilities and indebtedness represented or evidenced by any promissory note given in renewal, extension, modification or substitution of or for the Qualified Borrower Promissory Note; and (b) all obligations of the Qualified Borrower[s] listed on Schedule A (collectively, the “Guaranteed Debt”) in accordance with the terms of this Borrower Guaranty (the “Borrower Guaranty”). This is an unconditional guaranty of payment, and not a guaranty of collection and is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and shall apply to all of the Guaranteed Debt whenever arising, and the Creditor may enforce the Borrower’s obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 2.8(c) of the Credit Agreement without first suing, or enforcing its rights or remedies against, the Qualified Borrower or any other obligor, or enforcing or collecting any present or future collateral security for the Guaranteed Debt.

3. The Borrower expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law: (a) notice of acceptance of the Guaranty by the Administrative Agent and of all extensions of credit to any Qualified Borrower or other Credit Party by the Lenders; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Debt; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required by the Credit Agreement) with respect to the Guaranteed Debt or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the Secured Parties obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security interest, lien or encumbrance, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Debt, or the Secured Parties subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests, liens or

encumbrances, if any; (e) all other notices, demands, presentments, protests or any agreement or instrument related to this Qualified Borrower Guaranty, any other Loan Document or the Guaranteed Debt to which the Borrower might otherwise be entitled; (f) any right to require the Administrative Agent as a condition of payment or performance by the Borrower, to (A) proceed against the Qualified Borrowers, any Borrower of the Guaranteed Debt or any other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any other security held from the Qualified Borrowers, any Borrower of the Guaranteed Debt or any other Person, (C) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account, securities account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Person, or (D) pursue any other remedy in the power of the Administrative Agent whatsoever; (g) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Qualified Borrowers including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Debt or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Qualified Borrowers from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Debt; (h) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (i) any defense based upon the Administrative Agent’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Debt; (j) (A) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Qualified Borrower Guaranty and any legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder, (B) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (C) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (D) promptness, diligence and any requirement that the Administrative Agent protect, secure, perfect or insure any other security interest or Lien or any property subject thereto; and (k) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Applicable Law which limit the liability of or exonerate Borrowers or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Qualified Borrower Guaranty.

4. The Borrower hereby agrees and acknowledges that its obligations hereunder shall not be released or discharged by the following: (a) the renewal, extension, modification or alteration of any Qualified Borrower Promissory Note, the Guaranteed Debt or any related document or instrument; (b) any forbearance or compromise granted to the Qualified Borrower by the Creditor; (c) the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of the Qualified Borrower; (d) the full or partial release of the Qualified Borrower or any other obligor; (e) the release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss or impairment (including, without limitation, negligent, willful, unreasonable or unjustifiable impairment) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Debt; (f) the failure of the Creditor properly to obtain, perfect or preserve any security interest or lien in any such collateral; (g) the failure of the Creditor to exercise diligence, commercial reasonableness or reasonable care in the preservation, enforcement or sale of any such collateral; provided that, such acknowledgement shall not be a waiver of the Creditor’s obligations to sell collateral in a commercially reasonable manner to the extent required under the Loan Documents or Applicable Laws; and (h) any other act or omission of the Creditor or the Qualified Borrower which would otherwise constitute or create a legal or equitable defense in favor of a Borrower.

5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Borrower Guaranty, until the Guaranteed Debt has been paid in full, the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives all rights it may have at law

Form of Borrower Guaranty

I-2

or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the Borrower to the rights of the Creditor) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from the Qualified Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any obligations of the Qualified Borrower to the Creditor, for any disbursement made by the Borrower under or in connection with this Borrower Guaranty or otherwise.

6. The Borrower represents and warrants that it has received or will receive direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Borrower Guaranty and the creation of the Guaranteed Debt, that the Borrower is familiar with the financial condition of the Qualified Borrower and the value of any collateral security for the Guaranteed Debt and that the Creditor has made no representations to the Borrower in order to induce the Borrower to execute this Borrower Guaranty.

7. The Lenders have agreed to make the Loans to the Qualified Borrowers in part based upon the assurances by the Borrower that the Borrower desires that the Guaranteed Debt of the Borrower be honored and enforced as separate obligations of the Borrower, should Administrative Agent and the Lenders desire to do so.

8. This Borrower Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Creditor, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or dissolution of the Qualified Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

9. This Borrower Guaranty has been executed and delivered pursuant to the Credit Agreement and is one of the “Borrower Guaranties” referred to therein. This Borrower Guaranty may be amended only by a written instrument executed by the Borrower and the Creditor.

10. This Qualified Borrower Guaranty and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to or in connection herewith, the relationship of the parties, and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to any conflicts of law principles other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law.

11. Schedule A to this Borrower Guaranty may be amended by the Borrower from time to time (notwithstanding the requirements in Section 12.1 of the Credit Agreement for any other consents but subject to the requirements of Section 2.8 and Section 6.3 of the Credit Agreement) to identify additional Qualified Borrowers and Qualified Borrower Promissory Notes, the obligations of which will become subject to this Borrower Guaranty and upon such amendment all references herein to Schedule A shall be deemed to mean Schedule A as amended thereby. Such amendment shall be in the form of Schedule B annexed hereto.

12. Any suit, action or proceeding against the Borrower with respect to this Borrower Guaranty or any judgment entered by any court in respect hereof, may be brought in the courts of the State of New York, or in the United States Courts located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, pursuant to Section 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, and the Borrower hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any

such suit, action or proceeding. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably consent to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in said court by the mailing thereof by the Creditor by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower’s address listed in the Credit Agreement. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any objections which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Borrower Guaranty brought in the courts located in the State of New York, Borough of Manhattan in New York City, and hereby further irrevocably waive any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
