ARTICLE II.

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF LOANS

Section 2.01. Commitment.

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender agrees, at any time and from time to time on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date, to make Advances to the Borrowers in the aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the Commitment of such Lender. The right of any Borrower to obtain an Advance hereunder, as opposed to the right of any other Borrower, shall be on a “first come, first served” basis.

(b) The Advances made pursuant hereto by the Lenders (i) shall, at the option of the applicable Borrower, be Prime Rate Loans, Overnight Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, (ii) shall be ratable among each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Commitment Ratio and (iii) shall not exceed, in the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time, the aggregate amount of the Commitments. In addition, no Borrower may request an Advance hereunder if, after giving effect to the requested Advance, either (i) the aggregate amount of all Loans outstanding to such Borrower is greater than thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the Net Asset Value of such Borrower on the date of the requested Advance or (ii) the outstanding Indebtedness of such Borrower would exceed the maximum Indebtedness permitted to be borrowed by such Borrower as set forth in such Borrower’s Prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without in any way limiting the rights of the Lenders to refuse to make any Advance hereunder to a particular Borrower at any time any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such Borrower, such Borrower may not select a LIBOR Loan if, at the time of such selection, a Default or Event of Default has occurred and

8

exists hereunder with respect to such Borrower. LIBOR Loans shall in all cases be subject to Section 2.05(e) and Article VIII hereof. There may be only one Advance on any day for each Borrower. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the conditions set out in Article III, each Borrower may borrow under this Section, repay, prepay and reborrow.

(c) The aggregate principal amount of each Advance of a LIBOR Loan, an Overnight Rate Loan or a Prime Rate Loan hereunder shall be not less than $1,000,000 and shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (except for an Advance in the amount of the then-unused aggregate Commitments).

(d) Each Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days“ notice to the Agent, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof and provided further that the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding.

Section 2.02. Notice of Borrowing.

(a) In the case of Overnight Rate Loans or Prime Rate Loans, an authorized representative of a Borrower, as set forth on Schedule 3 hereto (an “Authorized Representative”), shall give the Agent a written Request for Advance (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date specified for such Advance. In the case of LIBOR Loans, an Authorized Representative shall give the Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ irrevocable prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) in the form of a Request for Advance. Upon request of an Authorized Representative at any time prior to any request to receive a LIBOR Loan, the Agent, whose determination shall be conclusive, shall determine the then-available LIBOR Basis for each applicable Interest Period and shall notify the applicable Borrower of such LIBOR Basis. Any notice given to the Agent in connection with a requested Advance hereunder shall be given to the Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) in order for such Business Day to count toward the minimum number of Business Days required. Each such Request for Advance shall be irrevocable, shall specify the applicable Borrower, the principal amount of the Advance to be made, the date of the Advance (which shall be a Business Day) and whether the Advance being made is to be a LIBOR Loan, a Prime Rate Loan or an Overnight Rate Loan. A failure by such Authorized Representative to confirm any such telephonic notice in writing shall not invalidate any notice so given. The Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of each such Request for Advance.

(b) Notwithstanding the requirements of Sections 2.02(a) and 3.02 hereof and without in any way limiting an Authorized Representative’s obligation to confirm in writing any telephonic notice, the Agent and the Lenders may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice reasonably believed by the Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Representative prior to receipt of written confirmation. The Agent’s records with respect to telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent obvious error.

Section 2.03. Disbursement of Funds.

9

(a) Each Lender will make the amount of its Loan available to the Agent no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of each Advance. No later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of each Advance, the Agent will make available to the applicable Borrower by wire transfer of Dollars in immediately available funds to such account as the Request for Advance may specify, the amount of the Advance so funded by the Lenders.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of any Advance that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Advance, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made or will make such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Advance and the Agent may in its sole discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent the Lender does not make such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Lender agrees to repay to the Agent on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, for the first three (3) days after such amount is made available to such Borrower at the Overnight Rate and thereafter at the Prime Rate.

(c) If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s portion of the applicable Advance for purposes of this Agreement. If such Lender does not repay such corresponding amount immediately upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower and such Borrower shall, within one Business Day, pay such corresponding amount to the Agent, together with interest thereon at the otherwise applicable interest rate. The failure of any Lender to fund its portion of any Advance shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to fund its respective portion of the Advance on the date thereof, but no Lender shall be responsible for any such failure of any other Lender.

(d) Nothing in this Section 2.03 shall be deemed to limit the Borrowers’ rights against any Lender failing to fund its portion of an Advance in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 2.04. Notes. Each Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made to such Borrower by the Lenders shall be evidenced by the Notes, each substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

(d) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan and all other overdue amounts owing hereunder shall bear interest for each day that such amounts are overdue at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate in effect from time to time, provided that no Loan shall bear interest after maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum less than the Default Rate in effect at such time of maturity.

(e) At no time may the aggregate number of outstanding LIBOR Loans of all Borrowers exceed ten (10).

Section 2.06. Repayments. Each Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders the unpaid principal amount of (i) each LIBOR Loan made to such Borrower hereunder on the earlier of (x) the applicable Payment Date, or (y) the Maturity Date and (ii) each Overnight Rate Loan or Prime Rate Loan made to such Borrower hereunder on the earlier of (x) thirty (30) days after the date of such Loan, or (y) the Maturity Date.

Section 2.07. Prepayments.

(a) If on any date (i) a Borrower’s Loans, in the aggregate, exceed an amount equal to thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of such Borrower’s Net Asset Value, or (ii) a Borrower’s asset coverage of its senior securities representing indebtedness (as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act) either (A) fails to comply with the provisions of the Investment Company Act or (B) violates the investment restrictions described in the applicable Prospectus, such Borrower within one (1) Business Day of such date, will prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans to the extent necessary to satisfy each of the foregoing subsections (i) and (ii). The applicable Borrower shall reimburse the Agent and the Lenders, on the earlier of demand or the Maturity Date, for any loss or out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Lenders or the Agent in connection with such prepayment of a LIBOR Loan or a Competitive Rate LIBOR Advance as set forth in Section 2.11 hereof.

LIBOR Loans may be prepaid prior to the applicable Payment Date, upon one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Agent, provided that the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders and the Agent, on demand, for any loss or out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Lenders or the Agent in connection with such prepayment, as set forth in Section 2.11 hereof. Each notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable. Upon receipt of

Section 2.09. Fees.

(a) Facility Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders a facility fee equal to 0.10% per annum (the “Facility Fee”) on the Total Commitment, computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed and payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the Maturity Date. The Facility Fee will be allocated among the Borrowers pursuant to the Pro Rata Allocation and shall be fully earned when due and non-refundable when paid, regardless of whether any Advances are ever made. The Agent shall distribute the Facility Fee to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Ratios.

(b) Fee Letter. The Borrowers shall also pay such other fees as may be set forth in a fee letter, if any, entered into between the Borrowers and the Agent (the “Fee Letter”). Such fees shall be fully earned when due and non-refundable when paid, regardless of whether any Advances are ever made.

Section 2.10. Payments.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made without defense, set-off or counterclaim to the Agent for the account of the Lenders not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds.

(b) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal and interest thereon shall be payable at the applicable interest rate during such extension.

(c) All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes absent obvious error.

(d) After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default with respect to a Borrower, subject to Section 2.12 hereof, payments made by such Borrower to the Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, or otherwise received by the Agent or the Lenders, shall be distributed among the Lenders as follows: First, to the reasonable costs and expenses, if any, incurred by the Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, in the collection of such amounts under this Agreement; second, to the Agent for any Agent’s fees owed by such Borrower then due and payable hereunder; third, pro rata among the Lenders based on the outstanding principal amount

12

of the Loans of such Borrower outstanding immediately prior to such payment, to any unpaid interest which may have accrued on such Loans; fourth, pro rata among the Lenders based on the outstanding principal amount of the Loans of such Borrower outstanding immediately prior to such payment, to any unpaid principal of such Loans; fifth, to any other obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement not otherwise referred to in this Section 2.10(d) until all such obligations are paid in full; sixth, to damages incurred by the Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, by reason of any breach of this Agreement or the Notes by such Borrower; and seventh, upon satisfaction in full of all obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes, to such Borrower or as otherwise required by law.

(e) If any Lender shall obtain any payment on any date (whether involuntary or otherwise) on account of the Advances made by it hereunder in excess of such Lender’s share of the payments made by a Borrower to the Lenders or the Agent on such date (in the aggregate), such that, after giving effect thereto, such Lender’s outstanding Advances hereunder are less than such Lender’s share of all the Advances then outstanding (in the aggregate), such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participation in the Advances made by such other Lenders as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment with such other Lenders in accordance with such other Lenders’ share of outstanding Advances hereunder; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to each purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10(e) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation so long as such Borrower’s obligations are not increased.

Section 2.11. Reimbursement.

(a) Whenever any Lender shall sustain or incur any losses or out-of-pocket expenses in connection with (i) failure by any Borrower to borrow any LIBOR Loan after having given notice of its intention to borrow in accordance with Section 2.02, 2.06 or 2.13 hereof, as applicable (whether by reason of the election of such Borrower not to proceed or the non-fulfillment of any of the conditions set forth in Article III), or (ii) prepayment of any LIBOR Loan in whole or in part (including a prepayment pursuant to Section 8.03(b) hereof), the applicable Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s demand, an amount sufficient to compensate such Lender for all such losses and out-of-pocket expenses. Such Lender’s good faith determination of the amount of such losses and out-of-pocket expenses, absent obvious error, shall be binding and conclusive. Upon request of a Borrower, any Lender seeking reimbursement under this Section 2.11(a) shall provide a certificate setting forth the amount to be paid to it by such Borrower hereunder and calculations therefor.

(b) Losses subject to reimbursement hereunder shall include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, expenses incurred by any Lender or any participant of such Lender permitted hereunder in connection with the re-employment of funds prepaid, not borrowed, or paid, as the case may be, exclusive of any lost profit of such Lender or any participant of such Lender over the remainder of the Interest Period for such prepaid Advance.

13

Section 2.12. Allocation of Obligations. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the Notes shall be several and not joint. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, obligations arising to the Agent or the Lenders pertaining to any Loan hereunder shall be obligations of the Borrower to whom such Loan was made, and no Borrower shall be liable for any portion of any obligation of, or any amount allocated to, any other Borrower. Any obligation that is to be allocated among the Borrowers shall be so allocated on the basis of the ratio of the average of each such Borrower’s Net Asset Value on each day of the most recently completed three calendar months preceding the date of calculation for purposes of such allocation to the average of the Net Asset Values on each day of the most recently completed three calendar months of all Borrowers in the aggregate (the “Pro Rata Allocation”). The Borrowers shall set forth the initial Pro Rata Allocation as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the Agreement Date on Schedule 4 attached hereto. The Pro Rata Allocation shall be readjusted in accordance with Section 2.14 hereof or, so long as no Event of Default then exists, at the request of any Borrower.

Section 2.13. Adjustments to the Pro Rata Allocation.

(a) If the assets of any Borrower are combined with the assets of another Borrower, by merger or otherwise, the Pro Rata Allocation of the Borrower whose assets have been acquired shall be automatically added to the Pro Rata Allocation of the Borrower who acquired such assets.

(b) If the assets of any Borrower are transferred to an entity which is not a Borrower, by merger or otherwise, if any Borrower is deleted from this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.05(b), or if the assets of any Borrower shall become depleted, the Pro Rata Allocation attributable to such Borrower shall be automatically added to the Pro Rata Allocation of the remaining Borrowers on a pro rata basis among such remaining Borrowers.

(c) If any fund or portfolio is added to this Agreement as a “Borrower” in accordance with Section 5.05(a), the Pro Rata Allocation for all Borrowers shall be automatically recalculated in accordance with Section 2.12, to account for such new Borrower.

ARTICLE VII.

THE AGENT

Section 7.01. Authorization and Authority. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the Notes and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and neither any Borrower nor any Fund Manager shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

Section 7.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the 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 Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the 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 any Borrower, any Fund Manager or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

25

Section 7.03. Duties of Agent; Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Agent’s duties hereunder and under the Notes are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and the Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary rights and powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein); provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law; and

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to a Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.02 or Article VI) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default or Event of Default unless and until any Borrower or any Lender shall have given notice to the Agent describing such Default or Event of Default and such event or events.

(c) Neither the Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any Note or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agent or any of its Related Parties.

26

Section 7.04. Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless an officer of the Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance and in the case of a Borrowing, such Lender shall not have made available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower or any Fund Manager), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 7.05. Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Each such sub-agent and the Related Parties of the Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.04 (as though such sub-agents were the “Agent” hereunder) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 7.06. Resignation of Agent. The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrowers, and shall automatically resign on the date the Agent has been deemed insolvent or become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or has had a receiver or conservator appointed with respect to it (or any parent company of the Agent) at the direction or request of any regulatory agency or authority (or similar regulatory action has been taken with respect to the Agent). Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or such automatic resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Agent, the retiring Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Agent and the effective date of such retiring Agent’s resignation. Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a

27

successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as Agent of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Agent hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 Agent was acting as Agent.

Section 7.07. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. (a) Each Lender confirms to the Agent, each other Lender and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making Advances and other extensions of credit hereunder and (z) in taking or not taking actions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making Advances and other extensions of credit hereunder is suitable and appropriate for it.

(b) Each Lender acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii) that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information, as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:

(i) the financial condition, status and capitalization of each Borrower;

(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and the Notes and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection herewith;

(iii) determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition;

(iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information delivered by the Agent, any other Lender or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in

28

connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection herewith.

Section 7.08. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers) pro rata according to their respective Commitment Ratios, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses (other than the loss of principal and interest hereunder in the event of a bankruptcy or out-of-court “work-out” of the Loans), damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including fees and expenses of experts, agents, consultants and counsel), or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any other document contemplated by this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any other document contemplated by this Agreement, except that no Lender shall be liable to the Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent as determined by a final, non-appealable judicial order of a court having jurisdiction over the subject matter.

ARTICLE VIII.

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES AFFECTING LIBOR LOANS; CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Section 8.01. LIBOR Basis Determination Inadequate or Unfair. Notwithstanding anything contained herein which may be construed to the contrary, if with respect to any proposed LIBOR Loan for any Interest Period, the Agent determines (a) that the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or other commercially available source providing such quotations as designated by the Agent from time to time) is unavailable or (b) after consultation with the Lenders that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amount) are not being offered to each of the Lenders in the relevant market for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon until the Agent notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such situation no longer exist, the obligations of the Lenders to make such LIBOR Loans shall be suspended. If with respect to any proposed LIBOR Loan for any Interest Period, the Agent determines after consultation with the Lenders that the rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders constituting the Majority Lenders of making or maintaining their affected LIBOR Loans during such Interest Period by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally, and that LIBOR Loans are thus not available, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon until the Agent notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such situation no longer exist, the obligations of any affected Lender to make any such LIBOR Loan shall be suspended.

Section 8.02. Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, any change in applicable law, rule, or regulation or any change in interpretation or administration of any applicable law, rule or regulation by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or

29

comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain, or fund its LIBOR Loans, such Lender shall so notify the Agent, and the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrowers. Before giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section 8.02, such Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon receipt of such notice, notwithstanding anything contained in Article II hereof, the Borrowers shall repay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each affected LIBOR Loan of such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon, either (a) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected LIBOR Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such affected LIBOR Loan to such day or (b) immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such affected LIBOR Loan to such day. Concurrently with repaying each affected LIBOR Loan of such Lender, notwithstanding anything contained in Article II hereof, the applicable Borrower may borrow a Prime Rate Loan or an Overnight Rate Loan from such Lender, and such Lender in such event shall make such Advance in an amount such that the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Note held by such Lender shall equal the outstanding principal amount of such Note immediately prior to such repayment.

Section 8.03. Increased Costs.

(a) If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or any change therein, or any interpretation or change in interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency:

(i) Shall subject any Lender to any tax, duty, or other charge with respect to its obligation to make Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on its Loans or in respect of any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Loans or its obligation to make Loans (except for changes in the rate of tax on the net income of such Lender or the rate of franchise taxes imposed on such Lender or taxes imposed by FATCA); or

(ii) Shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any included in an applicable LIBOR Reserve Percentage), special deposit, capital adequacy, assessment, or other requirement or condition against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or commitments or credit extended by any Lender, or shall impose on any Lender or the London interbank borrowing market any other condition affecting its obligation to make Loans,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or under the Notes with respect to such Loan, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, on the earlier of demand by such Lender or the Maturity Date, each applicable Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased costs.

30

Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03 and each Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to take such action which could reasonably be expected to avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation (including, without limitation, designating a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender).

(b) A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 8.03 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and calculations therefor shall be conclusive in the absence of obvious error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. If any Lender demands compensation under this Section 8.03, the Borrowers may at any time, upon at least three (3) Business Days prior notice to such Lender, prepay in full each then outstanding affected Loan of such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment, along with any reimbursement required under Section 2.11 hereof. Concurrently with prepaying each such Loan, the applicable Borrower may borrow a Prime Rate Loan or an Overnight Rate Loan, or a LIBOR Loan not so affected, from such Lender, and such Lender shall make such Advance in an amount such that the outstanding principal amount of the Note held by such Lender shall equal the outstanding principal amount of such Note immediately prior to such prepayment.

Section 8.04. Effect On Other Advances. If notice has been given pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03 hereof suspending the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans, or requiring LIBOR Loans of any Lender to be repaid or prepaid, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such repayment no longer apply, all Advances which would otherwise be made by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall, at the option of the applicable Borrower, be made instead as Overnight Rate Loans or Prime Rate Loans.

Section 8.05. Capital Adequacy. If, after the Agreement Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, affects or might reasonably be expected to affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation in control of such Lender determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the Lender’s obligations hereunder, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender, the Borrowers severally and not jointly shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender in light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital is allocable to its obligations hereunder using reasonable averaging and attribution methods. A certificate of the applicable Lenders setting forth the amount to be paid by the Borrowers to the Lender as a result of any event referred to in this Section 8.05 and setting forth supporting calculations in reasonable detail demonstrating the basis therefor shall be conclusive, absent obvious error. Amounts due the Lenders hereunder shall be allocated among the Borrowers on the basis of the Pro Rata Allocation.

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications, to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b).

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

32

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

(c) Change of Address, etc. Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

(d) Platform.

(i) Each Borrower agrees that the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

(ii) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non- infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other Person for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s or the Agent’s transmission of Communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that any Loan Party provides to the Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Agent, any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

Section 9.02. Amendment and Waiver. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended orally, nor may any provision hereof be waived orally but only by an instrument in writing signed by the Majority Lenders and, in the case of an amendment, by each Borrower, except that in the event of any amendment or modification which purports to effect (a) any

33

increase in the amount of the Commitment, (b) any delay or extension in the terms of repayment of the Loans, (c) any reduction in principal, interest or fees due hereunder or postponement of the payment thereof, (d) any release of any substantial portion of any collateral for the Loans other than in connection with a sale or disposition permitted hereunder, (e) any waiver of any Default or Event of Default due to the failure by any Borrower to pay any sum due to any of the Lenders hereunder, (f) any release of any Guarantee of all or any portion of the obligations of a Borrower hereunder, except in connection with a merger, sale or other disposition otherwise permitted hereunder (in which case, such release shall require no further approval by the Lenders), or (g) any amendment of this Section, Section 5.04(d)(ii), Section 5.05, Section 6.07, or of the definition of Majority Lenders or of any provision to the relative priority of payment among the Lenders hereunder, any amendment or waiver or consent may be made only by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Lenders and, in the case of an amendment, by each Fund and Borrower. Any amendment to any provision hereunder governing the rights, obligations, or liabilities of the Agent, in its capacity as such, may be made only by an instrument in writing signed by each Fund and Borrower, the Majority Lenders and the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Schedule 3 may be amended upon written notice of any Borrower or Borrowers to the Lenders.

Section 9.03. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Agent, the Lenders or any holder of the Notes in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or thereunder and no course of dealing between the Borrowers and the Agent or the Lenders or the holder of any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any Note preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy hereunder. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Agent or the Lenders or the holder of any Note would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Borrower not required hereunder or under any Note in any case shall entitle any Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Agent or the Lenders or the holder of any Note to any other or further action in any circumstance without notice or demand.

Section 9.04. Payment of Expenses. Each Borrower shall severally and not jointly:

(a) whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated are consummated, pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent in the administration (both before and after the execution hereof and including advice of counsel as to the rights and duties of the Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto) of, and in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of and preservation of rights under this Agreement, and (ii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent and the Lenders, after a Default or Event of Default, in connection with the enforcement, refinancing, renegotiation or restructuring of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any amendment, waiver or consent relating thereto (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel) for the Agent and the Lenders);

(b) pay and hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save the Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes; and

34

(c) indemnify the Agent and the Lenders, their officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all costs, losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by any of them (whether or not any of them is designated a party thereto) arising out of or by reason of any investigation, litigation or other proceeding related to any actual or proposed use by such Borrower of the proceeds of any of the Loans or such Borrower’s entering into and performing this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, failure to comply with the rules, regulations and laws regarding the business of mutual funds, or false representation, warranty or other information provided with the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel) incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding, except and to the extent such costs, losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement in bad faith of any such indemnified party, as determined by a final, non-appealable judicial order of a court having jurisdiction over the subject matter; provided, however, that any indemnified party hereunder shall promptly notify such Borrower upon receipt of written notice of any claim or threat to institute a claim and afford such Borrower the first right to defend or resolve any such action; provided further, however, that in the event such Borrower elects to defend or resolve any such action, (i) any counsel selected to represent the Agent or any Lender shall be acceptable to each of such parties so represented, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) no settlement of any investigation, litigation or other proceeding involving the Agent or any Lender shall be entered into without the consent of each of the foregoing which is named party thereto or therein, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

To the extent that any of the foregoing expenses are attributable to or arise out of one or more Loans to a particular Borrower, only such Borrower shall be liable therefor. To the extent such expenses are attributable to more than one Borrower, such expenses shall be allocated among such Borrowers pursuant to the Pro Rata Allocation.

Section 9.05. Right of Setoff. In addition to and not in limitation of all rights of offset that the Agent and the Lenders or holder of any Note may have under applicable law, the applicable Lender or other holder of the Note shall, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and whether or not the Lender or such holder has made any demand or the Borrower’s obligations are matured, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder and under the Notes all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of such Borrower then or thereafter held by and other indebtedness or property then or thereafter owing to such Borrower by the applicable Lender or other holder, whether or not related to this Agreement or any transaction hereunder.

Section 9.06. Binding Effect; Assignment; New Lenders; Entire Agreement.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto, provided that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

(b) Each Lender may make, carry or transfer Loans at, to or for the account of, any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of the Lender.

35

(c) Each Lender may assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement and further may assign or sell participations in all (or in the case of a participation in all or any part) of any Loan or Loans made by it or its Commitment or any other interest herein or in its Notes (if any) to an Eligible Assignee in amounts (except in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement) of $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, in which event (i) in the case of an assignment, upon notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrowers, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same rights and benefits as it would have if it were a Lender hereunder and the holder of the Notes and (ii) in the case of a participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or other Credit Documents except with respect to matters requiring unanimous consent of all Lenders (the participant’s rights against the Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by the Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrowers under Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 2.11 hereof shall be determined as if the Lender had not sold such participation. The assignee or participant shall pay a fee of $3,500 to the Agent unless such assignee is an Affiliate of the applicable Lender and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Agent relating thereto before the assignment or the participation arrangement shall become effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender may (x) create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest or (y) may make assignments or participations to an Affiliate of such Lender without prior written consent of the Borrowers or the Agent; provided, however, that with respect to an assignment or participation to an Affiliate of a Lender, such Lender shall provide written notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Agent. The Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrowers in the possession of the Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants).

(d) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(e) Each Lender, if demanded by the Borrowers (and provided no Default or Event of Default has then occurred or is continuing, following a demand by such Lender pursuant to Section 8.03) upon at least 5 Business Days’ notice to such Lender and the Agent, will, assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement provided, however, that (i) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall be made to an Eligible Assignee and shall be arranged by the Borrowers after consultation with the Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (ii) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrowers or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, and

36

(iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the register, an assignment and acceptance, together with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable by the Borrowers except that no such recordation fee shall be payable in the case of an assignment made at the request of the Borrowers to an Eligible Assignee that is an existing Lender.

Section 9.07. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder and under the Notes shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the law (without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof) of the State of New York.

(a) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the Notes or any document related thereto shall be brought in the courts of the State of New York in the Borough of Manhattan or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Borrower hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts.

(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally designates its Fund Manager as the designee, appointee and agent of such Borrower to receive, for and on behalf of such Borrower, service of process in any legal action or proceeding by the Agent or any Lender with respect to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. It is understood that a copy of such process served on such agent will be promptly forwarded to such Borrower at its address set forth on Schedule 1, but the failure of such Borrower to receive such copy shall not affect in any way the service of such process. Each Borrower further irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its said address, such service to become effective thirty (30) days after such mailing.

(c) Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Lender or any holder of any Note to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Borrower in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 9.09. Effectiveness; Survival of Indemnities. This Agreement shall be effective on the Effective Date. All indemnification obligations set forth herein or in the other Credit Documents shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.10. Interest.

(a) In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder or under the Notes exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, and in the event any such payment is inadvertently made by any Borrower or is inadvertently received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless such Borrower shall notify such Lender in writing that it elects to have such excess sum returned forthwith. It is the express

37

intent hereof that the Borrowers not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may legally be paid by the Borrowers under applicable law.

(b) Notwithstanding the use by the Lenders of the Prime Rate, the Overnight Rate and the LIBOR as reference rates for the determination of interest on the Loans, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to obtain funds from any particular source in order to charge interest to the Borrowers at interest rates tied to such reference rates.

Section 9.11. Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement, and the Table of Contents, are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 9.12. Survival of Representations. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by any Lender of any Advance and the execution and delivery to any Lender of a Note evidencing the Loans regardless of any investigation made by such Lender and of such Lender’s access to any information and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Indebtedness or obligation created hereunder is outstanding and unpaid.

Section 9.13. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any Note should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions shall not be affected or impaired in any other jurisdiction, nor shall the remaining provisions contained herein and therein in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 9.14. Confidentiality. Unless specifically authorized otherwise by the relevant Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall hold all non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement, including information obtained and/or held electronically, in accordance with the Agent’s or such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices and in any event may make disclosure reasonably required in connection with this Agreement or payments hereunder or as required or requested by any governmental authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or to an Affiliate of such Lender, to the extent such Affiliate agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.14. In no event shall the Agent or any Lender be obligated to return any materials furnished to it by any Borrower in connection with this Agreement.

Section 9.15. Series Protection. The Lenders and the Agent acknowledge that the execution and delivery of this Agreement have been authorized by the Board members and signed by an authorized officer of Huntington Asset Advisors Inc., acting as such, and neither such authorization by these Board members nor such execution and delivery by such officer shall be deemed to have been made by any of them individually or to impose any liability on any of them personally, and the obligations of this Agreement are not binding upon any of the Board members or shareholders of Huntington Asset Advisors Inc., but bind only the property of the individual Funds, or Class, as Borrower, as provided in the Declaration of Trust of such Borrower.

38

Section 9.16. Separate Agreements. Notwithstanding any other provision, the relationship and agreements set forth in the Agreement with respect to each Borrower shall be several, separate and distinct from those of each other Borrower, to the same effect as would be the case if each Borrower executed a separate Agreement in the form hereof without execution thereof by any other such Borrower.

Section 9.17. Limitation of Liability. Each Lender and the Agent acknowledge that some of the Borrowers are series of a single investment company. Each Lender and the Agent further acknowledge that references in this Agreement to obligations or liabilities of a Borrower, if such Borrower is a Portfolio of a Fund, refer to obligations or liabilities of the Fund of which such Borrower is a part and such obligations or liabilities shall be satisfied only from the assets of such Portfolio and not from the assets of other Portfolios of such Fund.

Section 9.18. Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each borrower, guarantor or grantor (the “Loan Parties”), which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

Section 9.19. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE AGENT, EACH BORROWER, EACH OF THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY COURT AND IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY TYPE IN WHICH ANY BORROWER, ANY OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS IS A PARTY, AS TO ALL MATTERS AND THINGS ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE NOTES, OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RELATIONS AMONG THE PARTIES LISTED IN THIS SECTION, AND EACH FUND AND BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OR MAINTAINING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their proper and duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
