The failure of any Lender to advance the proceeds of its 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 Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder. Each Lender hereunder shall be liable to the Borrower Parties only for the amount of its respective Commitment.

2.6. Interest.

(a) Interest Rate. Loans may be (i) with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars, (x) Reference Rate Loans or (y) SOFR Loans, (ii) with respect to Loans denominated in Euros, Yen, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars or other Alternative Currencies (other than Sterling), Eurocurrency Rate Loans or (iii) with respect to Loans denominated in Sterling, Daily Simple RFR Loans, each as further provided herein. Subject to the terms of this Section 2.6, each Loan funded by the Lenders shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to (A) with respect to SOFR Loans, the applicable SOFR Rate for the applicable Interest Period, if applicable, plus the Applicable Margin; (B) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; (C) with respect to Daily Simple RFR Loans denominated in Sterling, the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple RFR plus the Applicable Margin; and (D) with respect to Reference Rate Loans, the Reference Rate in effect from day to day plus the Applicable Margin. At any time, each Loan shall have only one Interest Period (if applicable) and one Interest Option (if applicable). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the interest rate hereunder exceed the Maximum Rate.

(b) Change in Rate; Past Due Amounts; Calculations of Interest. Each change in the rate of interest for any Borrowing consisting of Reference 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 Term SOFR Loan, each Eurocurrency Rate Loan (other than Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Australian Dollars or Canadian Dollars or any other Alternative Currency that is regularly calculated based on a year consisting of 365 or 366 days), each Daily Simple RFR Loan (other than Daily Simple RFR Loans denominated in Sterling) and each Reference Rate Loan bearing interest based off Adjusted Daily Simple RFR shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days and (ii) each Reference Rate Loan (other than when the Reference Rate is calculated based off Adjusted Daily Simple RFR), each Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars or other Alternative Currencies (other than those regularly calculated based on a year consisting of 360 days) and each Daily Simple RFR

-55-

Loan denominated in Sterling 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; provided that interest on Loans denominated in any currency other than Dollars or Sterling as to which market practice differs from the foregoing shall be computed (in consultation with the Borrowers) in accordance with market practice for such Loans.

(c) Default Rate. (i) If the Principal Obligations are not paid when due, then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.6(a) above) such amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate. (ii) If any amount (other than Principal Obligations) payable by a Borrower Party under any Loan Document is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.6(a) above), such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate. (iii) Upon the request of Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.6(a) above) all Obligations shall bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate, from the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured or is waived.

(d) Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for Dollars and/or Adjusted Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for Dollars and/or Adjusted Term SOFR.

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

2.8. Letters of Credit.

(a) Letter of Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on any Business Day during the Availability 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 any Borrower Party 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) the expiration date of each Letter of Credit shall not be later than the Stated Maturity Date, or, if the applicable Borrower Party complies with Section 2.8(h), within one (1) year after the Stated Maturity Date; (iii) each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform

-56-

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 (iv) 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 in good faith deems material to it, or (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Applicable Law. Subject to Section 2.8(h), the Letters of Credit may be subject to automatic renewal pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Credit Application or other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(b) Request. Each request for a Letter of Credit (a “Request for Letter of Credit”) shall be submitted to the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith), together with a Letter of Credit Application and a Borrowing Base Certificate, for the Letter of Credit Issuer, on or before 2:00 p.m. at least four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or four (4) Business Days (or such additional time as may reasonably be required by the Letter of Credit Issuer) with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by any branch of the Letter of Credit Issuer located outside of the United States). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Request for Letter of Credit and the terms of the requested Letter of Credit. Each Request for Letter of Credit submitted by the Borrower Party shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that all conditions precedent specified in Section 6.2 hereof for the issuance of such Letter of Credit will be satisfied as of the date of such issuance.

(c) Participation by the Lenders. Each Lender shall and does hereby participate ratably with the Letter of Credit Issuer in each Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder to the extent of its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Liability with respect to each such Letter of Credit, and shall share in all rights and obligations resulting therefrom, including, without limitation: (i) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of any reimbursement of the amount of each draft drawn under each Letter of Credit, including any interest payable with respect thereto; (ii) the right to receive from the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit fee pursuant to Section 2.13; (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 Pro Rata Share of any unreimbursed drawing under a Letter of Credit.

-57-

(d) Payment of Letter of Credit. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower Party agrees to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Loan as provided for in this Section or with funds from other sources), in same day funds, the Letter of Credit Issuer on each date on which the Letter of Credit Issuer notifies such Borrower Party 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 a Borrower Party shall immediately notify the Letter of Credit Issuer that such Borrower Party intends to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for such drawing from other sources or funds, such Borrower Party shall be deemed to have timely given a Request for Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, and such Borrower Party hereby authorizes, empowers, and directs 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 such Borrower Party, in immediately available funds an amount equal to the stated amount of each draft drawn under such Letter of Credit plus all interest, costs and expenses, and fees due to the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Credit Agreement; provided that, if the Borrower Parties shall provide such notice to the Letter of Credit Issuer and subsequently fail to make all or any portion of such reimbursement to the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Borrower Parties shall be deemed to have timely given a Request for Borrowing to the Administrative Agent as provided above. Subject to receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount disbursed by the 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 applicable Borrower Party of any such disbursements made by the Letter of Credit Issuer or Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of the disbursement, and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof. Any such disbursement made by the Lenders to the Letter of Credit Issuer on account of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed a Reference Rate Loan if in Dollars, and shall be deemed a Reference Rate Loan in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such disbursement if in an Alternative Currency; and such disbursements shall be made without regard to the minimum and multiple amounts specified in Section 2.4; provided that nothing in this Section 2.8(d) shall prevent the Borrower Parties from exercising the right to convert such Reference Rate Loans to a SOFR Loan in accordance with Section 2.3(f). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may conclusively rely on the Letter of Credit Issuer as to the amount due the Letter of Credit Issuer by reason of any draft of a Letter of Credit or due the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit Application. The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, and, as applicable, the obligations of the Borrower Parties with respect to Borrowings, each under this Section 2.8(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, 6.3 and/or 6.4, as applicable, be honored in accordance with this Section 2.8(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 Borrower Parties in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the terms of the Letter of Credit; (iii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower Parties may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit Agreement, any

-58-

Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the account party and beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit); (iv) any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a draw under a Letter of Credit; (v) any payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (vi) any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; (vii) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (viii) the occurrence of any Event of Default or Potential 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; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Letter of Credit Issuer from liability to any Borrower Party to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive, consequential or exemplary damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower Parties to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) suffered by any Borrower Party that are caused by the Letter of Credit Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.

(e) Borrower Inspection. The applicable Borrower Party shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower Party’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower Party will immediately notify the Letter of Credit Issuer of the same in writing. The Borrower Party 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, each Borrower Party and each other Credit Party agrees 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 applicable Borrower Party hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude such Borrower Party pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, nor any of the respective

-59-

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 2.8(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 Borrower Parties, may take one or both of the following actions: (i) declare the obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder terminated, whereupon such obligations shall forthwith terminate without any other notice of any kind; or (ii) declare the outstanding 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 applicable Borrower Party pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent for deposit in a segregated interest bearing Cash Collateral Account, as security for such Obligations, an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn stated amount of all Letters of Credit of such Borrower Party then outstanding at the time such notice is given. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, upon the full and final payment of such Obligations (other than (i) any unasserted contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable and (ii) Obligations in respect of a Lender Hedge Agreement that have been cash collateralized or otherwise satisfied), the Administrative Agent shall return to the applicable Borrower Party or a Credit Party as directed by such Borrower Party, any amounts remaining in said Cash Collateral Account.

(h) Cash Collateral. If (A) as of the earlier of: (i) fifteen (15) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date and (ii) the Maturity Date, any Letters of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, or (B) any other circumstances under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents occurs requiring a Borrower Party to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit, then, in each case, such Borrower Party shall promptly Cash Collateralize, or cause another Credit Party to Cash Collateralize, in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount applicable to such Borrower Party or, in the case of sub-clause (B) above, such amount expressly required by the terms of this Credit Agreement or other Loan Document to which such Borrower Party is a party, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be held by the Administrative Agent as Cash Collateral subject to the terms of this clause (h) and any security agreement, control agreement and other documentation requested by the Administrative Agent to be executed in connection with opening a Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of holding such Cash Collateral. All Cash Collateral to be provided by or on behalf of a Borrower Party pursuant to this Section 2.8(h) shall be in the currency or currencies of the underlying Letter of Credit. All Cash Collateral with respect to each Letter of Credit shall be funded by the proceeds of Capital Calls, and not from any other source. Cash Collateral held in a Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the reimbursement of the Letter of Credit Issuer for any payment made by it of drafts drawn under the outstanding Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof, after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other Obligations. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or

-60-

been fully drawn upon, all Letter of Credit Liability shall have been satisfied and all other Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than (i) any unasserted contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable and (ii) Obligations in respect of a Lender Hedge Agreement that have been cash collateralized or otherwise satisfied), the balance, if any, of Cash Collateral held in a Cash Collateral Account pursuant to this clause (h) shall be returned to the applicable Credit Party. 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 applicable Letter of Credit Liability.

(i) Lenders’ Continuing Obligations. In the event any Letter of Credit Liability is Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.8(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 2.8 shall continue in all respects, the Lenders will continue to be entitled to receive their Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit fee and the Letter of Credit Issuer will continue to be entitled to receive its Letter of Credit fee, in each case payable in accordance with Section 2.13, and the Lenders shall continue to be obligated to fund their Pro Rata Share of any drawing under such Letter of Credit in the event the Cash Collateral is for any reason unavailable or insufficient to fully fund such drawing (including, but not limited to, as a result of any preference claim or other clawback under any proceeding pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that all Letter of Credit Liability in existence on the Maturity Date is Cash Collateralized in accordance with this Credit Agreement as of the Maturity Date, all Lenders other than the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer shall be released from the Letter of Credit Liability; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit fee payable in accordance with Section 2.13 to any Lender that has been released from the Letter of Credit Liability in accordance with the terms hereof shall be zero (0).

(j) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, this Section 2.8 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4.9 and Section 12.12.

2.9. Qualified Borrowers. In consideration of the Lenders’ agreement to advance funds to a Qualified Borrower that has joined the Credit Facility in accordance with Section 6.3(a), to cause Letters of Credit to be issued for the account of a Qualified Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8, and to accept the Borrower Guaranties in support thereof, the applicable Borrower or Guarantor 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, with notice to such Borrower or Guarantor, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the amount due and owing under the applicable Qualified Borrower Promissory Note or the applicable Qualified Borrower Guaranty, together with all interest, reasonable costs and expenses and fees due to the Lenders pursuant thereto, as a Borrowing by such Qualified Borrower hereunder, in the event the Administrative Agent shall have not received payment of such Obligations when due. The Administrative Agent will notify the applicable Borrower or Guarantor one (1) Business Day prior to making such disbursement pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the disbursement, and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof. Any such disbursement

-61-

made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders shall be deemed to be a Reference Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.3 in the amount so paid, and the Qualified 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Obligations of any Borrower under any Qualified Borrower Guaranty to which such Borrower is a party shall constitute Obligations of such Borrower guaranteed under each Guarantor’s Guaranty.

2.10. Use of Proceeds; Borrowing Limitations.

(a) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be used solely for purposes expressly permitted under the Constituent Documents of each Credit Party and, to the extent applicable, the Qualified Borrowers. Neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to the Borrower Parties’ use of the proceeds of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or execution and delivery of the Borrower Guaranties, and neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to determine whether or not the Borrower Parties’ use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit are for purposes permitted under the Constituent Documents of any Credit Party. Nothing, including, without limitation, any Borrowing, any Rollover, any issuance of any Letter of Credit, or acceptance of any Qualified Borrower Guaranty or other document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent as to whether any investment by the Borrower Parties is permitted by the terms of the Constituent Documents of any Credit Party. No Borrower Party shall to its actual knowledge use the proceeds of any Borrowing hereunder to purchase any assets or securities from any Lender’s “affiliate” as such term is defined in 12 C.F.R. Part 223, unless such Borrower Party provides notice as required under Section 2.10(b) below and either (i) the applicable Lender determines that a Reg W Exemption applies or that a Reg W Exemption does not apply, but such Lender will, nonetheless fund its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Borrowing or the applicable Letter of Credit or (ii) the proceeds of such Borrowing or participation in such Letter of Credit are reallocated, in each case, as set forth in Section 2.10(b) below. 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).

(b) If any Borrower Party intends to use the proceeds of any Borrowing hereunder to purchase any assets or securities from any Lender’s “affiliate” as such term is defined in 12 C.F.R. Part 223, the Borrower Parties shall first provide written notice of such intended use to the affiliated Lender and the Administrative Agent with the applicable Request for Borrowing or Request for Letter of Credit. Such affiliated Lender shall thereupon use its reasonable efforts to determine, in its sole reasonable discretion, if such Borrower Party’s purchase of assets or securities qualifies for any exemption set forth in 12 C.F.R. § 223.16 (the “Reg W Exemptions”) but shall have no obligation to cause any such purchase of assets or securities from Borrower Party’s Affiliate to be restructured in order to satisfy any such Reg W Exemption. If such notice is not provided in connection with any Request for Borrowing or Request for Letter of Credit

-62-

hereunder, the Borrower Parties shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Administrative Agent and each Lender on the date of such Borrowing or issuance of Letter of Credit that, to their actual knowledge, as of such date, the proceeds of such Borrowing or Letter of Credit will not be used by such Borrower to, directly or indirectly, either (x) purchase any asset or securities from any Lender’s “affiliate” as such term is used in 12 C.F.R. Part 223 or (y) invest in any fund sponsored by the Lender or any Lender’s “affiliate” as such term is used in 12 C.F.R. Part 223. If such Lender (the “Conflicted Lender”) determines, in a writing delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, that the use of any proceeds of any requested Borrowing or Letter of Credit includes the purchase of any asset or securities from such Conflicted Lender’s “affiliate” (as such term is used in 12 C.F.R. Part 223) and such transaction does not comply with any of the Reg W Exemptions, such Conflicted Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such requested Borrowing or Letter of Credit, as applicable, shall be reallocated to the other Lenders (the “Non-Conflicted Lenders”) in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Conflicted Lender’s Commitment), but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Principal Obligations of any Non-Conflicted Lender to exceed such Non-Conflicted Lender’s Commitment. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Non-Conflicted Lender of its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of the Conflicted Lender’s ratable share of such requested Borrowing or Letter of Credit, as applicable, and the Non-Conflicted Lenders shall fund such requested Loan or participate in such requested Letter of Credit, as applicable, based on such reallocation but otherwise consistent with Section 2.5. Notwithstanding any provision in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall be obligated to fund any Loan or participate in any Letter of Credit if such Lender reasonably believes that such transaction may result in such Lender entering into a “covered transaction” as such term is defined in Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation W and such transaction is not eligible for a Reg W Exemption. Notwithstanding any provision in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, a single breach of this Section 2.10(b) may be waived with the consent of the affiliated Lender affected thereby and shall not require the consent of any other Person.

2.11. Fees. The applicable Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent fees in consideration of the arrangement and administration of the Commitments, which fees shall be payable in amounts and on the dates agreed to between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in the Fee Letter. The Borrowers will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, such other fees as are payable in the amount and on the date agreed to by the Borrowers in the Fee Letter.

2.12. 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, an unused commitment fee at the rate of 25 basis points (0.25%) per annum on the Commitment of the Lenders which was unused (through the extension of Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit), in either case calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days. The unused commitment fee payable hereunder shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and any date that the Maximum Commitment is reduced pursuant to Section 3.6 with respect to the portion of the Maximum Commitment so reduced for the immediately preceding quarter (or a portion thereof) and on the Maturity Date. The Credit Parties and the Lenders acknowledge and agree 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.

-63-

2.13. Letter of Credit Fees. The applicable Borrower Party shall pay to the Administrative Agent: (a) for the benefit of the Lenders, in consideration for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of such Borrower Party hereunder, a non-refundable fee equal to the Applicable Margin (plus, upon request of the Required Lenders, 2% per annum if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) on the daily face amount of each Letter of Credit, issued for the account of such Borrower Party, less the amount of any draws on such Letter of Credit, payable in quarterly installments in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the issuance date and continuing for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Letter of Credit that is outstanding but has been Cash Collateralized); and (b) for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer: (i) to the extent a Person other than Wells Fargo or any of its Affiliates shall at any time become a Lender hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof, upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, a non-refundable fronting fee equal to 12.5 basis points (0.125%) of the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit; (ii) $1,000 per requested issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit; and (iii) all other reasonable, customary and documented out of pocket expenses actually incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer related to the issuance, amendment or transfer of Letters of Credit upon demand by the Letter of Credit Issuer.

2.14. Extension of Maturity Date. The Borrowers shall have an option, in their sole discretion, to extend the Stated Maturity Date for one (1) additional term of no longer than 364 days (such extension shall be referred to herein as an “Extension”), subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(a) as of the date of delivery of the Extension Request and immediately before and after giving effect to such extension, the representations and warranties of each Credit Party set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date); provided that if a representation or warranty is qualified as to materiality, with respect to such representation or warranty, the foregoing materiality qualifier shall be disregarded for the purposes of this condition (and except to the extent of changes in facts and circumstances that have been disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and do not constitute an Event of Default or Potential Default);

2.15. Increase in the Maximum Commitment.

(a) Request for Increase. Subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 2.15, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Borrowers may increase the Maximum Commitment to an amount not exceeding $1,500,000,000. Such increase may be done in one or more requested increases, in $50,000,000 increments, or such lesser amount to be determined by the Administrative Agent (each such increase, shall be referred to herein as a “Facility Increase”).

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

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

(i) the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Facility Increase Request and, to the extent not otherwise authorized pursuant to the terms of the applicable Borrower’s Constituent Documents, resolutions adopted by the Borrowers approving or consenting to such increase, certified by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers that such resolutions are true and correct copies thereof and are in full force and effect;

-65-

(v) no Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date on which the Facility Increase Request is delivered or immediately after giving effect to the Facility Increase;

(vi) on the 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(g) 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; and

(vii) the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Lenders a new or updated Beneficial Ownership Certification, as applicable, in relation to each Borrower that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, if so requested by the Administrative Agent prior to the Increase Effective Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, any Facility Increase will be on the same terms as contained herein with respect to the Credit Facility. No Lender will be required to commit, nor shall any Lender have any preemptive right, to provide any portion of any Facility Increase. On the Increase Effective Date, Schedule II hereof shall be automatically updated to reflect any corresponding increase in any Lender’s Commitment and/or the Commitment of any additional Lender and any change in a Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Letter of Credit Liability.

(d) Reallocation Following Facility Increase. On any Increase Effective Date with respect to any Facility Increase (whether pursuant to a new Lender joining the Credit Facility or an existing Lender increasing its Commitment), the Administrative Agent will reallocate the outstanding Loans and participations in Letters of Credit hereunder (including any Loans made by any new or increasing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15) such that, after giving effect thereto, each Lender’s (including each new or increasing Lender’s) share of outstanding Loans and participations in Letters of Credit shall be in proportion to each Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share. For the avoidance of doubt, such reallocation may require the reallocation of Loans from an existing Lender to a new or increasing Lender. In connection with any such reallocation of the outstanding Loans, the (i) Administrative Agent will give advance notice sufficient to comply with the applicable time period in Section 2.3 and Section 2.8, as applicable to each Lender which is required to fund any amount or receive any partial repayment in connection therewith and (ii) applicable Lender or Lenders will fund such amounts up to their respective shares of the Loans and/or participations in Letters of Credit, as applicable being reallocated and the Administrative Agent shall remit to any applicable Lenders its applicable portion of such funded amount if necessary to give effect to the reallocation of such Loans and/or participations in such Letters of Credit, as applicable. In connection with such repayment made with respect to such reallocation (to the extent such repayment is required), the applicable Borrower Parties shall pay (i) all interest due on the amount repaid to the date of repayment on the immediately following Interest Payment Date and (ii) any amounts due pursuant to Section 4.5 as a result of such reallocation occurring on any date other than an Interest Payment Date.

2.16. Lender Hedge Agreements. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, a Borrower, Guarantor or Person guaranteed by Borrowers and/or Guarantors (each, a “Secured Hedge Party”) and an entity that is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender at the time of entry into such agreement (each, in such capacity, a “Secured Hedge Bank”) may in their sole discretion enter into Lender Hedge Agreements and may secure such Credit Party’s obligations in connection with such Lender Hedge Agreement with the Collateral; provided that the obligations under the related Lender Hedge Agreement shall be secured by the Collateral but be junior in right and in payment as set forth in clause (c) of Section 3.4.

SECTION 3

PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS

3.1. Revolving Credit Notes. The Administrative Agent may request that the Loans be evidenced by a master promissory note. In such event, each Borrower shall execute and deliver a Note or Notes, substantially in the form of Exhibit B (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith), payable to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders. Each Borrower Party agrees, from time to time, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, to reissue a new Note or new Qualified Borrower Promissory Note, as applicable, in accordance with the terms and in the form heretofore provided, to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, in renewal of and substitution for the Note or Qualified Borrower Promissory Note, as applicable, previously issued by such Borrower Party to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and such previously issued Note or Qualified Borrower Promissory Note, as applicable, shall be returned to such Borrower Party marked “replaced”.

3.2. Payment of Obligations. The Principal Obligations outstanding on the Maturity Date, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any other outstanding Obligations, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

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 disbursement or wire transfer of such Borrowing by the Administrative Agent, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.6, notwithstanding whether the applicable Borrower Party received the benefit of such Borrowing as of such date and even if such Borrowing is held in escrow pursuant to the terms of any escrow arrangement or agreement. When a Borrowing is disbursed by wire transfer pursuant to instructions received from a Borrower Party 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 in 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 applicable Borrower Party.

-67-

(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 on the Maturity Date, (ii) on each other date of any reduction of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans hereunder (solely with respect to the portion of the Obligations so prepaid), and (iii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at any time 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.

Funds received after such payment deadlines shall be treated for all purposes as having been received by the Administrative Agent on the first Business Day next following receipt of such funds. All payments shall be made in the currency of the related Borrowing.

(b) Lender Payments. Except as provided in Sections 3.4(c) and 12.12, each Lender shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata 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. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that payments to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower Party of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations by the Borrower Parties to or for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall constitute satisfaction of the applicable Borrower Party’s obligations with respect to any such payments, and the Administrative Agent shall indemnify, and each Lender shall hold harmless, the Borrower Parties 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.

(c) Application of Payments.

-68-

(ii) At all times when a payment is made when the Principal Obligations exceed the Available Commitment (or the aggregate Principal Obligations exceed the Maximum Commitment), so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such payment made on the Obligations shall be applied as directed by the Borrowers, so long as either (A) such payment is to be applied to ordinary course payments for interest or fees due hereunder, or (B) such payment is to be applied to the Principal Obligations for the purpose of curing any such excess.

(iii) 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, ratably to the parties entitled to such payments hereunder, against all costs, expenses and other fees (including attorneys’ fees) arising under the terms hereof;

(B) second, ratably to the Lenders based on their proportional share of the Obligations being repaid on such date against the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on the Principal Obligations as of the date of such payment;

Each Borrower Party may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty on any Business Day; provided that: (a) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (A) on the date of prepayment of Daily Simple RFR Loans in Dollars, (B) three (3) RFR Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Term SOFR Loans, (C) four (4) Eurocurrency Banking Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (D) four (4) RFR Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Daily Simple RFR Loans in Sterling, and (E) on the date of prepayment of Reference Rate Loans; and (b) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal amount of $250,000

-69-

or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof) or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such written notice is given by a Borrower Party, such Borrower Party shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.5. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Obligations held by each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share.

(b) Mandatory Prepayment.

(i) Excess Loans Outstanding. If, on any day (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the Principal Obligations exceeds the Available Commitment (including, without limitation, as a result of an Exclusion Event) or (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the Letter of Credit Liability exceeds 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, then one or more Borrower Parties shall pay (without duplication) without further demand such excess to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in immediately available funds (except to the extent any such excess is addressed by Section 3.5(b)(ii)), by the Required Payment Time. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Control Event, each Credit Party hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may withdraw from any Collateral Account any Capital Contributions deposited therein and apply the same to the Principal Obligations until such time as the payment obligations of this Section 3.5(b) have been satisfied in full.

(ii) Excess Letters of Credit Outstanding. If any excess calculated pursuant to Section 3.5(b) is attributable to undrawn Letters of Credit, one or more Borrower Parties shall promptly Cash Collateralize, or cause to be Cash Collateralized such excess with the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 2.8(h), as security for such portion of the Obligations. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, upon: (i) a change in circumstances such that the Dollar Equivalent of Principal Obligations no longer exceed the Available Commitment when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; or (ii) the full and final payment of the Obligations (other than (i) unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations not yet due and payable and (ii) Obligations in respect of a Lender Hedge Agreement that have been cash collateralized or otherwise satisfied) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall return to the applicable Borrower Parties any amounts remaining in the Cash Collateral Accounts.

3.6. Reduction or Early Termination of Commitments. One or more Borrower Parties may from time to time permanently terminate the Commitments, or reduce the Maximum Commitment, by giving prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of such termination or reduction two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (which date shall be specified by the Borrower Party in such notice and shall be a Business Day): (a) in the case of a complete termination of the Commitments, upon (i) prepayment of all of the outstanding Obligations by the applicable Borrower Parties, including, without limitation, all

-70-

interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3 and (ii) if any Letter of Credit Liability exists, payment to the Administrative Agent of Cash Collateral (from the proceeds of Capital Calls only) for deposit in the Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Section 2.8(h); or (b) in the case of a reduction of the Maximum Commitment, upon prepayment of the amount by which the Principal Obligations exceed the reduced Available Commitment resulting from such reduction, including, without limitation, payment of all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3, provided that, the Maximum Commitment may not be reduced such that, the Available Commitment would be less than the Letter of Credit Liability (unless the Administrative Agent has received Cash Collateral for deposit in the Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Section 2.8(h)); in each case, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (x) any reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall be in an amount equal to or greater than $10,000,000; and (y) in no event shall a reduction by the Borrowers reduce the Maximum Commitment to $25,000,000 or less (except for, in either case, a termination of all the Commitments). Promptly after receipt of any notice of reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the same. Any reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall reduce the Commitments of the Lenders according to their Pro Rata Share.

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 (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Loan and (b) change its Lending Office from time to time by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers. In such event, the Administrative Agent shall continue to hold the Note (and any Qualified Borrower Promissory Note), if any, evidencing the Loans attributable to such Lender 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

-71-

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.

(d) Qualified Borrowers. The Obligations of any Qualified Borrower hereunder shall be several and limited only to the Loans and Letters of Credit made or issued on its behalf. All Loans and Letters of Credit provided to a Qualified Borrower hereunder shall be guaranteed by the applicable Borrower or Guarantor in accordance with the applicable Qualified Borrower Guaranty, and such Borrower or Guarantor shall be jointly and severally liable with such Qualified Borrower for the full amount of the Loans and Letters of Credit and other Obligations of such Qualified Borrower.

SECTION 4

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

4.1. Taxes.

(a) Letter of Credit Issuer. For purposes of this Section 4.1, the term “Lender” includes the Letter of Credit Issuer.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party 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) 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 Credit Party 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) 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 Credit Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (b) above, the Credit Parties 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) Tax Indemnification. (i) The Borrowers shall, and each does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after 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. A certificate as to the amount 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. (ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (x) 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 any Borrower to do so), (y) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.11 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, such Credit Party 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.

(f) 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 (including pursuant to the implementation of the OECD Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters The Common Reporting Standard and any implementing legislation or related guidance). 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(f)(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 Party is a U.S. Person,

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

(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 the Borrower Parties and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower Parties 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 Borrower Parties or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower Parties 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.

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 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 paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

4.2. Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Lender has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans or other Obligations, or materially restricts the authority of such Lender to (a) purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, the applicable currency (other than Dollars) or (b) determine or charge interest rates based upon any RFR, any Adjusted Daily Simple RFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, the Eurocurrency Rate or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower Parties through the Administrative Agent, (i) in the case of any determination described in the foregoing clause (a), any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Loans or the Obligations in such currency shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Parties that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist and, until such time, the affected Loans or Obligations of such Lender in such currency shall be converted to, and shall continue, as Reference Rate Loans and Obligations denominated in Dollars in an amount equal to the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of such Loans and Obligations immediately prior to such suspension, which conversion shall be (x) in the case of any Daily Simple RFR Loan, immediately, or (y) in the case of any Term SOFR Loan or any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans and Obligations to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans or Obligations to such day, and (ii) in the case of any determination described in the foregoing clause (b), any obligation of such Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans accruing interest at such RFR, such Adjusted Daily Simple RFR, such Adjusted Term SOFR, such Eurocurrency Rate or such Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, or to convert Loans accruing interest calculated by reference to the Reference Rate (unless the Reference Rate is also calculated off Adjusted Daily Simple RFR in accordance with the definition of “Reference Rate”) to be Loans accruing interest calculated by reference to such

-76-

RFR, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Parties that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Until the time of such notice by such Lender in the case of the foregoing clause (ii), the affected Loans or Obligations of such Lender outstanding at the time of such suspension shall be continued as Reference Rate Loans and Obligations denominated in Dollars in an amount equal to the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of such Loans and Obligations immediately prior to such suspension, which conversion shall be (x) in the case of any Daily Simple RFR Loan, immediately, or (y) in the case of any Term SOFR Loan or any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Loans and Obligations to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans or Obligations to such day. Upon the prepayment of any such Loans, the applicable Borrower Party shall also pay accrued and unpaid 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. Inability to Determine Rates.

(a) Subject to Section 4.10, in connection with any Request for Borrowing of, Conversion Notice to or Rollover Notice of any RFR Loan or otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that (x) if Adjusted Daily Simple RFR is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining “Adjusted Daily Simple RFR” pursuant to the definition thereof, or (y) if Adjusted Term SOFR is utilized in any calculations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Obligations, interest, fees, commissions or other amounts, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining “Adjusted Term SOFR” for the applicable Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan on or prior to the first day of such Interest Period, or (ii) the Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange markets with respect to an applicable Alternative Currency (including changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls), then, in each case the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower Parties. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower Parties, any obligation of the Lenders to make RFR Loans in each such affected currency, and any right of the Borrower Parties to Convert any Loan in each such currency (if applicable) to or Rollover any Loan as an RFR Loan in each such affected currency, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected RFR Loans or, in the case of Term SOFR Loans, the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the applicable Borrower Party may revoke any pending Request for Borrowing of, Conversion Notice to or Rollover Notice of RFR Loans in each such affected currency (to the extent of the affected RFR Loans or, in the case of Term SOFR Loans, the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, (I) in the case of any Request for Borrowing of any affected Daily Simple RFR Loans in Dollars or any affected Term SOFR Loans, such Borrower Party will be deemed to have converted any such request into a Request for Borrowing of or Conversion Notice to Reference Rate Loans in the amount specified therein, and (II) in the case of any Request for Borrowing of any affected Daily

-77-

Simple RFR Loans in an Alternative Currency, then such request shall be ineffective, and (B)(I) any outstanding affected Daily Simple RFR Loans in Dollars will be deemed to have been converted into Reference Rate Loans immediately, (II) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Reference Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period, and (III) any outstanding affected Daily Simple RFR Loans in an Alternative Currency, at the applicable Borrower Party’s election, shall either (1) be converted into Reference Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) immediately or (2) be prepaid in full, together with accrued interest thereon (subject to the last sentence of Section 2.6(a)) immediately; provided that if no election is made by the applicable Borrower Party by the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by such Borrower Party of such notice, such Borrower Party shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower Party shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

(b) Subject to Section 4.10, in connection with any Request for Borrowing of, Conversion Notice to or Rollover Notice of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that deposits are not being offered to banks in the London or other applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable currency, amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) the Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to the applicable Alternative Currency (including changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls), (iii) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Alternative Currency and Interest Period, including because the Screen Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency is not available or published on a current basis, or (iv) the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period and have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrowers. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) any pending Request for Borrowing or Rollover Notice of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in each such affected Alternative Currency (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or the affected Interest Periods) shall be ineffective and (y) any outstanding affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans, at the Borrowers’ election, shall either (A) be converted into Reference Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (B) be prepaid in full, together with accrued interest thereon (subject to Section 2.6(a)), at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that if no election is made by the Borrowers by the date that is the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

-78-

4.4. Increased Cost and Capital Adequacy.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D, as amended and in effect from time to time)), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate) or the Letter of Credit Issuer;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (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; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or any applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Credit Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), in each case, in an amount that the Lender deems material in its reasonable discretion, then, upon written request of such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or other Recipient, the applicable Borrower Parties shall pay to any such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered (provided, that such amounts shall be consistent with amounts that such Lender is generally charging other borrowers similarly situated to the Borrowers).

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by,

-79-

such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, the Borrower Parties shall promptly pay to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrowers, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower Parties shall pay such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower Parties shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

4.5. Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower Parties shall promptly pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for, and hold such Lender harmless from, any 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 such Borrower Parties (for any reasons whatsoever other than a default by the Administrative Agent or any Lender) to accept a SOFR Loan or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan after such Borrower Parties shall have requested such Loan under this Credit Agreement, (b) any prepayment or other payment of a Term SOFR Loan or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, (c) any other prepayment of a Loan that is otherwise not made in compliance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, or (d) the failure of such Borrower Parties to make a prepayment of a Loan after giving notice under this Credit Agreement, that such prepayment will be made; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower Parties shall not be responsible for any payment pursuant to this Section 4.5 with respect to any Loan based on a daily rate.

-80-

4.6. Requests for Compensation. 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 Adjusted Daily Simple RFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate.

4.7. Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower Parties hereunder, all of the Borrower Parties’ obligations under this Section 4 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Credit Agreement or any provision hereof. Each Lender shall notify the Borrower Parties of any event occurring after the termination of this Credit Agreement entitling such Lender to compensation under this Section 4 as promptly as practicable.

4.8. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.4, or 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, 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 reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.4 or Section 4.1, as the case may be, 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 applicable Borrower Parties hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.4, or if any Borrower Party is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.1, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 4.8(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, so long as no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.11), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.4 or 4.1) and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

-81-

(i) the applicable Borrower Parties shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 12.11;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under this Section 4) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal) or the applicable Borrower Parties (in the case of accrued interest, fees and all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.4 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

4.9. Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, by the Required Payment Time, the applicable Borrower Parties shall Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 12.12(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(a) Grant of Security Interest; Other Claims/Deficiency. (i) Each Borrower Party, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of the Letter of Credit Liability, to be applied pursuant to subsection (b) below. (ii) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the applicable Borrower Party will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 4.9 or Section 12.12 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of the Letter of Credit Liability (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

-82-

(c) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Fronting Exposure of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.9 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 12.12, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Letter of Credit Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; and provided, further, that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower Parties, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

4.10. Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Credit Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrowers so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 4.10(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

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

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 4.10(d). 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 4.10, 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 4.10.

-83-

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. 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 any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate, BBSY, CDOR Rate, EURIBOR or TIBOR) and either (x) 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 (y) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, noncompliant or nonaligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (x) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (y) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, (i) the Borrowers may revoke any pending Request for Borrowing of, Conversion Notice to or Rollover Notice of RFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, in each case to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period denominated in the applicable currency and, failing that, (x) in the case of any Request for Borrowing of any affected Daily Simple RFR Loans in Dollars or any affected Term SOFR Loans, if applicable, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a Request for Borrowing of or Conversion Notice to Reference Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (y) in the case of any Request for Borrowing of any affected Daily Simple RFR Loans in an Alternative Currency or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, if applicable, then such request shall be ineffective, and (ii)(x) any outstanding affected Daily Simple RFR Loans in Dollars, if applicable, will be deemed to have been converted into Reference Rate Loans immediately, (y) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans, if applicable, will be deemed to have been converted into Reference Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period, and (z) any outstanding affected Daily Simple RFR Loans in an Alternative Currency or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, at the Borrower’s election, shall either (A) be converted into Reference Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the applicable Alternative Currency) immediately in the case of Daily Simple RFR Loans in an Alternative Currency, or at the end of the applicable Interest Period in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or (B) be prepaid in full immediately in the case of Daily Simple RFR Loans in an Alternative Currency, or at the end of the applicable Interest Period in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans; provided that, with respect to any Daily Simple RFR Loan in an Alternative Currency, if no election is made by the Borrowers by the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) above; provided further that, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, if no election is made by the Borrowers by the earlier of (I) the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice and (II) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable

-84-

Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.5. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to any Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Reference Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark that is the subject of such Benchmark Unavailability Period or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Reference Rate.

SECTION 5

SECURITY

5.1. Liens and Security Interest.

(a) Capital Commitments and Capital Calls. To secure performance by the Borrowers of the payment and the performance of the Obligations, the Credit Parties, each to the extent of their respective interests therein, shall grant to the Administrative Agent and, as applicable, assign to the Administrative Agent by way of security, for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties, a first priority, exclusive (except as expressly permitted pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 9.3), perfected security interest and Lien in and on the Collateral pursuant to the applicable Collateral Documents.

(b) Reliance. The Borrowers and the Guarantors agree that the Administrative Agent and each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer has 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 Capital Commitments as shown in their Subscription Agreements delivered in connection herewith and accordingly, it is the intent of the parties that such Capital Commitments may be enforced by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders and other Secured Parties, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, directly against the Investors without further action by any Credit Party and notwithstanding any compromise of any such Capital Commitment by any Credit Party after the Closing Date as provided in 6 Del. C. § 17-502(b)(1).

The security agreements, financing statements, assignments, collateral assignments and any other documents and instruments from time to time executed and delivered pursuant to this Credit Agreement to grant, perfect and continue a security interest in the Collateral, including without limitation each Security Agreement, each Collateral Account Pledge, each Control Agreement and any documents or instruments amending or supplementing the same, shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Collateral Documents”.

5.2. The Collateral Accounts; Capital Calls.

(a) The Collateral Accounts. In order to secure further the payment and the performance of the Obligations and to effect and facilitate the right of the Secured Parties, each Guarantor and Borrower shall require that each Investor wire transfer to a Collateral Account all monies or sums paid or to be paid by the Investors pursuant to Capital Calls. In addition, each Guarantor and Borrower shall deposit into a Collateral Account, within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof, any payments and monies that such Guarantor or Borrower receives directly from Investors as Capital Contributions.

-85-

(b) Use of the Collateral Accounts. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Cash Control Event, the Administrative Agent is authorized to take exclusive control of the Collateral Accounts. If State Street Bank and Trust Company ceases to be an Eligible Institution, each Guarantor and Borrower shall have thirty (30) days following notice from the Administrative Agent to move its Collateral Account to a replacement Account Bank that is Wells Fargo or an Eligible Institution. If an Account Bank terminates a Control Agreement, the applicable Guarantor or Borrower shall open a new collateral account that is subject to a new Control Agreement with a replacement Account Bank within thirty (30) days of such termination or such longer period as may be approved by the Administrative Agent.

(c) No Duty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, it is expressly understood and agreed that none of the Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer, or any other Secured Party undertakes any duties, responsibilities, or liabilities with respect to the Capital Calls issued by any Credit Party.

Such Credit Party shall provide the Administrative Agent with notice of (a) any Material Amendment (together with a copy thereof) and (b) any new Side Letter or modification or amendment to any existing Side Letter, in each case, of an Included Investor or Designated Investor. In order for an Investor to be considered an Included Investor or Designated Investor hereunder, any new Side Letter or any modification or amendment to any existing Side Letter shall be in a form and substance either (i) consistent with any existing Side Letter previously approved by the Administrative Agent or (ii) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided Administrative Agent approval shall not be required if an existing Included Investor or Designated Investor increases its Capital Commitment or provides an additional Capital Commitment and the Side Letter executed in connection therewith is not a Material Amendment (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 9.6 shall override any of the Exclusion Events). Such Credit Party shall not enter into any new Side Letter or any modification or amendment to any existing Side Letter, in each case of an Excluded Investor, if any Included Investor or Designated Investor would be entitled to incorporate the provisions of such Excluded Investor’s Side Letter into such Included Investor’s or Designated Investor’s Side Letter pursuant to any ‘most favored nations’ provision therein unless (i) such provisions would not constitute a Material Amendment or (ii) after giving pro forma effect to any reduction in the Borrowing Base attributable to such existing Included Investor’s or Designated Investor’s becoming an Excluded Investor as a result of its obtaining the disapproved provision via the ‘most favored nations’ provision of its Side Letter, there is no resulting Borrowing Base deficiency (or, if there is a Borrowing Base deficiency, the applicable Borrower pays down such deficiency prior to entering into the new Side Letter or modifying or amending any existing Side Letter). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such Credit Party may enter into a Material Amendment to a Side Letter of an Included Investor or Designated Investor without prior Administrative Agent approval; provided (i) such occurrence shall constitute an Exclusion Event with respect to such Investor (and any other Investor affected by an applicable “most favored nation” provision) unless and until such consent is obtained and (ii) in no event shall such Credit Party enter into such Material Amendment without prior Administrative Agent approval, if, after giving effect thereto, a Borrowing Base deficiency would occur and be continuing.

-115-

currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of any Borrower or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of any Borrower or such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Affiliate different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4(c) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount set off from any Credit Party shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Credit Party.

10.4. Performance by the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, should any Credit Party fail to perform any covenant, duty, or agreement contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents relating to the Collateral, and such failure continues beyond any applicable cure period, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty, or agreement on behalf of such Person. In such event, the Credit Parties shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent at its designated Agency Services Address, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid.

10.5. Good Faith Duty to Cooperate. In the event that the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders elect to commence the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3 as a result of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Credit Parties shall cooperate in good faith with the Administrative Agent to enable the Administrative Agent to issue Capital Calls and enforce the payment thereof by the Investors, including but not limited to providing contact information for each such Investor (including any updates to Investor names and notice information since the date of the last Annual Compliance Certificate provided pursuant to Section 8.1(b)) and copies of any Subscription Agreements (including any written evidence of any increase in the Capital Commitment of any Investor) and Side Letters which have not yet been provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, in each case, within two (2) Business Days of request.

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 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 been deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist against any Agent. 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 Administrative Agent and the Lenders and none of the Credit Parties, any Investor, or any Affiliate of the foregoing (each, a “Fund Party”) shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of the provisions hereof (except for the provisions that explicitly relate to the Credit Parties in 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 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 all Letters of Credit and payment in full of all of the Obligations (other than (i) contingent obligations for which no claim has yet been made, Letters of Credit obligations which have been Cash Collateralized or (ii) Obligations in respect of a Lender Hedge Agreement that have been cash collateralized or otherwise satisfied), including all fees and indemnified costs and expenses that are then due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents; and (ii) 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).

-117-

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. The Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender 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. 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 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 (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or be responsible in any manner to any Lender Party for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Fund 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 in, 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 Fund Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible to any Lender 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 Fund 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 Fund Parties to the Agent-Related Person or any Lender 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 the use of the Letters of Credit or of the existence or possible existence of any Potential Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Fund Parties. The Agents are not trustees for the Lenders and owe no fiduciary duty to the Lenders. Each Lender Party recognizes and agrees that Administrative Agent shall not be required to determine independently whether the conditions described in Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) have been satisfied and, when Administrative Agent disburses funds to Borrowers or the Letter of Credit Issuer causes Letters of Credit to be issued or accepts any Qualified Borrower Guaranties, it may rely fully upon statements contained in the relevant requests by a Fund 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 Fund 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 Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 12.11(c). Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take

-118-

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 Potential Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Fund Party referring to the Loan Document, describing such Potential 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 Potential 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 Fund Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the 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 and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Fund 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 Fund Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents 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 Fund 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 Fund Party and without limiting the obligation of the Fund Parties to do so), ratably in accordance with the applicable Lender’s respective Lender’s 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

-119-

full of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by it under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or related to another Lender; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 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 Fund 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 Fund Party (or any of their 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 Fund 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 Letters of Credit issued and all obligations owing to it, an Agent acting in its individual capacity shall have the same rights and powers under this Credit Agreement 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 Agents.

(a) Resignation of Administrative Agent. (i) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer 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 resignation), 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, 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.

-120-

(ii) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrowers and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrowers, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(iii) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (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 or 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 and Section 12.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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.

(iv) Any resignation by Wells Fargo as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 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, (b) the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

-121-

(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. Each Credit Party 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 such Credit Party, so long as the Administrative Agent is purporting to act in its respective capacity as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement, and such Credit Party 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. Such Credit Party shall be entitled to treat the Administrative Agent as the properly authorized Administrative Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement until such Credit Party shall have received notice of resignation, and such Credit Party shall not be obligated to recognize any successor Administrative Agent until such Credit Party shall have received written notification satisfactory to it of the appointment of such successor.

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 Fund Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Liability shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Fund Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Liability and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of 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

-122-

(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 Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Party, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent hereunder.

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

11.12. Erroneous Payments.

(a) Each Lender, each other Secured Party and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender, any other Secured Party or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender, Secured Party or other Person (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”), that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 11.12(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that, nothing in this Section 11.12 shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 11.12(a). Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

-123-

(b) Without limiting Section 11.12(a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (ii) of Section 11.12(a), it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.

(c) In the case of either clause (i) or (ii) of Section 11.12(a), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or shall cause any Person that received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Overnight Rate.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 11.12(c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Lender, such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Commitment) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not any Commitment), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. Without limitation of its rights hereunder, the Administrative Agent may cancel any Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment at any time by written notice to the applicable assigning Lender and upon such revocation all of the Loans assigned pursuant to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment shall be reassigned to such Lender without any requirement for payment or other consideration. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) any assignment contemplated in this Section 11.12(d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (ii) the provisions of this Section 11.12(d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 12.11, and (iii) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person. No Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitment of any Lender and such Commitment shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement.

(e) Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (x) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (y) is authorized to set

-124-

off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 11.12 or under the indemnification provisions of this Credit Agreement, (ii) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Credit Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Credit Party, and (iii) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 11.12(e), to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from, or on behalf of (including through the exercise of remedies under any Loan Document), any Borrower or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations.

(f) Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(g) Nothing in this Section 11.12 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of the Administrative Agent hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.12, in no event shall the funding of Borrowings or payment to a Credit Party of other amounts by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Credit Agreement (other than funds (i) received by a Credit Party on behalf of a Lender or any other Secured Party or (ii) received by the Borrowers in excess of any amount set forth in a Request for Borrowing delivered pursuant to the terms hereof or otherwise agreed to be provided by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof) be deemed an Erroneous Payment; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, amounts received by a Credit Party from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates that are not in connection with this Credit Agreement and intended for any other party may be deemed an Erroneous Payment pursuant to this Section 11.12.

SECTION 12

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1. Amendments. Neither this Credit Agreement (including the exhibits hereto) nor any other Loan Document to which any Credit Party is a party, nor any of the terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated, unless such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination is in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent (based upon the approval of the Required Lenders), or the Required Lenders, on the one hand, and such Credit Party on the other hand; and, if the rights or duties of an Agent are affected thereby, by such Agent; provided that no such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination shall, without the consent of:

-126-

The Administrative Agent agrees that it will notify the Lenders of any proposed modification or amendment to any Loan Document, and deliver drafts of any such proposed modification or amendment to the Lenders, prior to the effectiveness of such proposed modification or amendment. Notwithstanding the above: (A) no provisions of Section 11 may be amended or modified without the consent of the Administrative Agent; (B) no provisions of Section 2.8 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 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 or the Letters of Credit, 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 Credit Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; (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 Credit Party, if such modification, waiver, or consent is of an administrative nature; and (4) the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the Borrowers) may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or any Conforming Changes or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 4.10 in accordance with Section 4.10.

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 not receive such consent or denial thereof in writing within ten (10) Business Days of the making of such request by the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such Lender shall be deemed to have denied its consent to the request.

For the avoidance of doubt, Schedule I and Exhibit L may be supplemented, modified, amended, or restated from time to time by an acknowledgment from the Administrative Agent.

12.2. Sharing of Offsets. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant to Section 4 or Section 12.5) greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of obligations owing them; provided that:

-127-

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Sections 2.8(h) and 4.9 or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans and Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

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 a 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 hereunder and thereunder held by the Lenders shall be pro rata according to each Lender’s Commitment (determined as of the date hereof and regardless of any change in any Lender’s Commitment 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 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 their respective capacity as the Lenders.

12.4. Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. 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

-128-

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. Subject to the terms of this Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 12.1), the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of all Lenders, and the Credit Parties may from time to time enter into agreements amending or changing any provision of this Credit Agreement or the rights of the Lenders or the Credit Parties hereunder, or may grant waivers or consents to a departure from the due performance of the obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder, any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent of the Administrative Agent being effective to bind all the Lenders, except as provided in Section 12.1. 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.

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

(b) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, and shall pay or reimburse any such Indemnitee for, any and all losses, claims (including, without limitation, any Environmental Claims), damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrowers or any other Credit Party), other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties, arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated

This Section 12.5(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrowers and each other Credit Party shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of

-130-

Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective

-133-

successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrowers nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that, in each case, any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts. (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and;

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding hereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of such “Trade Date”) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrowers shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default specified in Sections 10.1(a), 10.1(h) or 10.1(i) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (y) an Event of Default (other than those specified in Sections 10.1(a), 10.1(h) or 10.1(i)) has occurred and is continuing for a period of 30 days at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender that is an Eligible Institution;

-134-

(B) 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 with a Commitment or an Affiliate of such Lender; and

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

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire if requested by the Administrative Agent as well as the documentation required to be delivered by any Lender pursuant to Section 4.1(f).

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Credit Party or any Credit Party’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (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).

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested, but not funded by, the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Credit Agreement until such compliance occurs.

-135-

(viii) Consequences of Assignment. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits and obligations of Section 4.1, 4.4, 4.5 and Section 12.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and each Lender Joinder Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, with the consent of, and notice to, the Borrowers (but without the consent of, or notice to, the Administrative Agent), sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 12.5(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

-136-

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver or modification described in Section 12.1 that directly affects such Participant and could not be affected by a vote of the Required Lenders. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements of Section 4.1(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.1(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.1 and 4.4, with respect to such participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.8(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.3 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.2 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (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 commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in 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.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank without notice to, or consent of, a Borrower or Administrative Agent; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Addition of Lenders. With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, 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:

-137-

(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;

(ii) the Commitment of the new Lender shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, or such lesser amount agreed to by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent;

(iii) if any new Lender is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of Taxes in accordance with Section 4.1(f); and

(iv) the parties shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Lender Joinder Agreement, any amendment hereto determined necessary or appropriate by the Administrative Agent in connection with such 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.

(h) Disclosure of Information. Any Lender may furnish any information concerning any Credit 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.

12.12. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Credit Agreement shall be excluded as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 10 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.2 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Letter of Credit Issuer; third, to Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Defaulting Lender

-138-

in accordance with Section 4.9; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan or funded participation in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Credit Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans and funded participations under this Credit Agreement and (B) Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Credit Agreement, in accordance with Section 4.9; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; seventh, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Letter of Credit Liability are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitments without giving effect to Section 12.12(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.12(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. (A) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive interest and Letter of Credit fees for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans funded by it, and (2) its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 4.9.

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees pursuant to Section 2.13 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 4.9.

-139-

(C) With respect to any Letter of Credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrowers shall (1) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in the Letter of Credit Liability that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (2) pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (3) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in the Letter of Credit Liability shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrowers shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Principal Obligations of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.9.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments (without giving effect to Section 12.12(a)(iv), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

-140-

(c) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

12.13. All Powers Coupled with Interest. All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the Commitments remain in effect or the Credit Facility has not been terminated.

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 and the issuance of the Letters of Credit.

12.16. Full Recourse. The payment and performance of the Obligations shall be fully recourse to the Borrowers and the Guarantors and their properties and assets. Notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Obligations shall not be recourse to any General Partner, any Investor (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 12.16 is in any way intended to limit or reduce any Investor’s obligations to fund its Capital Commitment under the related Subscription Agreement and other Constituent Documents) or any of their Affiliates (other than the Borrowers and the Guarantors) or any of their respective past, present or future direct or indirect members, partners, shareholders, officers, directors, agents or employees (the “Non-Recourse Parties”) and the Agents and Lenders shall not have the right to pursue any claim or action (including arbitration proceeding) against the Non-Recourse Parties except for any claim or action for actual damages of the Agents or Lenders as a result of any fraud or willful misappropriation of proceeds from the Credit Facility on the part of any General Partner in which event there shall be full recourse against such General Partner. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 12.16 shall not limit a General Partner’s Obligations under the Collateral Documents to which it is a party.

12.17. Availability of Records; Confidentiality. (a) Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that this Credit Agreement, all Loan Documents, Borrowing Base Certificates, and all other documents, certificates, opinions, letters of credit, reports, and other material information of every nature or description, and all transactions contemplated thereunder (collectively, “Transaction Information”) are confidential; provided, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Administrative Agent may provide to the Lenders, and that the Administrative Agent and each Lender may provide to any (i) Affiliate of a Lender or Participant or Assignee or proposed Assignee or (ii) Participant or proposed Participant or (iii) Assignee or proposed Assignee, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, auditors, counsel, rating agencies and agents, provided such party is advised of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential, Transaction Information (including originals or copies of this Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents), and may communicate all oral information, at any time submitted by or on behalf of any Credit Party or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto (and each of their respective employees, representatives, or other agents) may disclose to any and all other person, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

12.18. Customer Identification Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Credit Party that U.S. law requires each U.S. Lender and the Administrative Agent to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party (and in certain circumstance the beneficial owners thereof), which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party (and beneficial owner) and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Credit Party (and beneficial owner).

-142-

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 of a signature page of this Credit Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement.

12.20. Term of Agreement. This Credit Agreement shall remain in effect from the Closing Date through and including the date upon which all Obligations (other than (i) contingent obligations not then due, Letter of Credit obligations which have been Cash Collateralized and (ii) any Obligations in respect of any Lender Hedge Agreement that have been cash collateralized or otherwise satisfied) arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full, all Letters of Credit have been terminated or expired and all Commitments have been terminated. No termination of this Credit Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such termination or in respect of any provision of this Credit Agreement which survives such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, this Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect after the Maturity Date if any Letters of Credit remain outstanding, even if Cash Collateralized.

12.21. Inconsistencies with Other Documents. In the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Credit Agreement shall control; provided that any provision of the Collateral Documents which imposes additional burdens on any Credit Party or further restricts the rights of any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates or gives the Administrative Agent or Lenders additional rights shall not be deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent with this Credit Agreement and shall be given full force and effect.

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

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

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

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

-143-

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

12.23. Judgment Currency. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agents and the Lenders from and against any loss incurred by any of them as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for an amount due from such Borrower under or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and such judgment or order being paid or payable in a currency other than the applicable currency (the “Judgment Currency”) as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the applicable currency amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which the relevant indemnified party is able to purchase the applicable currency with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by such Person. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute separate and independent obligations of the Borrowers and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion of, the relevant currency.

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

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

SECTION 13

GUARANTY

13.1. Guaranty of Payment. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment of the Obligations of the Borrowers in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) and the timely performance of all other obligations by the Borrowers under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (such guaranty by the applicable Guarantor, its “Guaranty”). This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and shall apply to all of the Obligations of the Borrowers whenever arising. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of each Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (whether federal or state or otherwise and including, without limitation, Debtor Relief Laws).

13.2. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by any Secured Party without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the Notes or any other of the Loan Documents or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Obligations or otherwise and such Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Lenders to make demand on or proceed against any Fund Party or any other Person (including any other Guarantor or co-guarantor) or to require the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Lenders to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Each Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent any Secured Party from suing on the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or foreclosing its or their, as applicable, security interest in or Lien on any Collateral, if any, securing the Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it or them, as applicable, under this Credit Agreement, the Notes, any other of the Loan Documents, or any other instrument of security, if any, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder; it being the purpose and intent of such Guarantor that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. No Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired,

-145-

modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release, increase or limitation of the liability of any Credit Party or by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency or analogous procedure of any Credit Party. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension accrual or increase of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party on this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty. The Obligations, and any part of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Guaranty. All dealings between the Credit Parties, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty.

This Credit Agreement and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than payment, satisfaction or discharge in full of the Obligations), including, without limitation, the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not the Administrative Agent shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (A) any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any guaranty of or other security for the payment of the Obligations, (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including without limitation provisions relating to events of default) of this Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any guaranty or other security for the Obligations, (C) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any of the Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (D) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Obligations, even though the Administrative Agent might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Obligations, (E) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any of the Collateral, (F) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which the Borrowers may allege or assert against the Administrative Agent in respect of the Obligations, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, and (G) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Obligations.

13.3. Modifications. Each Guarantor agrees that: (a) all or any part of the Collateral now or hereafter held for the Obligations, if any, may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) none of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security interests, liens or encumbrances now or hereafter held, if any, for the Obligations; (c) the time or place of payment of the Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) the Borrowers, the Guarantors and any other party liable for payment under the Loan Documents may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, this Credit Agreement may be modified, amended or waived; (f) any party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment thereof may be granted indulgences or be released; and

-146-

(g) any deposit balance for the credit of the Borrowers, the Guarantors or any other party liable for the payment of the Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.

13.4. Waiver of Rights. Each Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (a) notice of acceptance of the Guaranty by the Lenders and of all extensions of credit to any Credit Party by the Lenders; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Credit Agreement) with respect to the Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the Lenders obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security interest, lien or encumbrance, if any, hereafter securing the Obligations, or the Lenders 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 Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Obligations, except such notices, demands, presentments, protests, agreements or instruments to which such Guarantor is entitled under the terms of this Credit Agreement; (f) any right to require the Administrative Agent as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (A) proceed against the Borrowers, any guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any other security held from the Borrowers, any guarantor of the Obligations 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 Borrowers including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Borrowers from any cause other than payment in full of the Obligations; (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 Obligations; (j) (A) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Credit Agreement and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (B) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’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 guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Credit Agreement.

-147-

13.5. Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 13 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy, reorganization, any analogous procedure or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of outside counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

13.6. Remedies. Each Guarantor agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Obligation from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Obligation being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Obligation (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that its obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Secured Parties may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

13.7. Subrogation. Each Guarantor agrees that, until the indefeasible payment of the Obligations in full in cash (other than (i) any unasserted contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable and (ii) Obligations in respect of a Lender Hedge Agreement that have been cash collateralized or otherwise satisfied), it will not exercise any right of reimbursement, subrogation, indemnification, contribution, offset, remedy (direct or indirect) or other claims against any other Credit Party arising by contract or operation of law or equity in connection with any payment made or required to be made by such Guarantor under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents now or hereafter. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against any other Credit Party or against any Collateral or other collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other Credit Party, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Administrative Agent may have against such Credit Party and to all right, title and interest the Administrative Agent may have in any such other collateral.

13.8. Inducement. The Lenders have been induced to make the Loans to the Borrowers in part based upon the assurances by each Guarantor that such Guarantor desires that the Obligations of such Guarantor under the Loan Documents be honored and enforced as separate obligations of such Guarantor, should Administrative Agent and the Lenders desire to do so.

13.9. Combined Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at their option enforce the entire amount of the Guaranty Obligation against any Guarantor (other than the Guaranty Obligations of any Qualified Borrower unless such Guarantor has executed a Qualified Borrower Guaranty with respect to such Qualified Borrower).

-148-

13.10. Borrower Information. Each Guarantor confirms and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with such Guarantor its assessment of the financial condition of the Borrowers. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Borrowers on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Borrowers and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, and such Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrowers and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or condition of the Borrowers now known or hereafter known by the Administrative Agent. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to have the Collateral or other collateral or security securing the Obligations marshaled.
