SECTION 2. LOANS

2.1. Loans.

(a) Commitments. During the Availability Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make one or more term loans to the Borrower (each, a “Loan”) in an aggregate amount up to but not exceeding such Lender’s Commitment as then in effect; provided that, after giving effect to the making of any Loan, the Market Value Test shall be satisfied. Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.1(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Subject to Sections 2.8 and 2.10, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date. Each Lender’s Commitment shall (1) be reduced upon the making of a Loan by such Lender, by the amount of such Loan; and (2) terminate immediately and without further action on the last day of the Availability Period.

(b) Borrowing Mechanics for Loans.

(1) Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of that amount (or such lesser amount as shall constitute the entire Commitment then available).

(2) Subject to Section 3.2(b), whenever the Borrower desires that Lenders make Loans, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a fully executed Funding Notice no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Credit Date or such period shorter than three Business Days as may be agreed by the Requisite Lenders and the Administrative Agent. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Funding Notice shall be irrevocable, and the Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith.

(3) Notice of receipt of each Funding Notice, together with the amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof and the applicable interest rate, shall be provided by the Administrative Agent to each Lender (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator and Collateral Agent) with reasonable promptness, but (provided the Administrative Agent shall have received such notice by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time)) not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same day as the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Funding Notice from the Borrower.

(4) Each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Credit Date by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at the principal office designated by the Administrative Agent. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the Loans available to the Borrower on the applicable Credit Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by the Administrative Agent from Lenders to be provided to or for the benefit of the Borrower as separately agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(5) If a funding does not occur on the proposed borrowing date because any condition precedent to such requested borrowing herein specified has not been met, then the Administrative Agent shall return any amounts received to the respective Lenders without interest.

2.2. Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.

(a) Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder.

(b) Availability of Funds. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Credit Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If the Administrative Agent has made such corresponding amount available to the Borrower but such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, then the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder. If (1) the Administrative Agent declines to make a requested amount available to the Borrower until such time as all applicable Lenders have made payment to the Administrative Agent, (2) a Lender fails to fund to the Administrative Agent all or any portion of the Loans required to be funded by such Lender hereunder prior to the time specified in this Agreement and (3) such Lender’s failure results in the Administrative Agent failing to make a corresponding amount available to the Borrower on the applicable Credit Date, then such Lender shall not receive interest hereunder with respect to the requested amount of such Lender’s Loans for the period commencing with the time specified in this Agreement for receipt of payment by the Borrower through and including the time of the Borrower’s receipt of the requested amount. Nothing in this Section 2.2(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

2.3. Use of Proceeds.

(a) The proceeds of the Loans made hereunder on the Initial Funding Date shall be used solely:

(1) to repay Existing Indebtedness;

(2) [reserved];

(3) to make the Initial Funding Date Equity Distribution;

(4) to fund the Borrower’s payment of Upfront Fees and other costs and expenses payable hereunder and under the Fee Letters; and

(5) to make deposits in the following Transaction Accounts identified by the Administrative Agent to the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Borrower.

(b) The proceeds of the Loans made hereunder after the Initial Funding Date shall be used solely to fund the Borrower’s Acquisition of Collateral Obligations in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth herein or, pending such Acquisition, to be credited to the Principal Collection Account; provided that the Borrower, at the option of the Equity Owner, shall have the right to make a cash distribution from the cash proceeds of such borrowing to the Equity Owner but only if, and only to the extent that, after giving effect to such cash distribution, the Market Value Test is satisfied as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Borrower or the Investment Manager on behalf of the Borrower provided to the Agents (upon which the Agents shall be entitled to fully rely with no liability therefor); provided, for purposes of this calculation, any Collateral Obligation that was a Defaulted Obligation on any Credit Date shall be deemed to have a Principal Balance of zero unless such Collateral Obligation ceases to meet the definition of a Defaulted Obligation prior to the Assignment Effective Date.

2.4. Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.

(a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error; provided that (1) the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and (2) in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(b) Register. The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it), in each case acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender. The Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error.

(c) Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Initial Funding Date, or at any time thereafter, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 11.6) on the Initial Funding Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Initial Funding Date, promptly after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Loan.

2.5. Interest on Loans.

(a) Interest Accruals. Except as otherwise set forth herein, each of the Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period plus the Average Applicable Margin for such Interest Period.

(b) Interest Rate Determinations. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and each Lender.

(1) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.5(a) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan shall be excluded; provided that, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(2) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date, upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid and at maturity of the Loans, including final maturity of the Loans, in each case in accordance with the Priority of Payments or otherwise as expressly provided herein.

2.6. Default Interest.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 1.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.6 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of any Secured Party.

2.7. Fees.

(a) Upfront Fees. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, on the Initial Funding Date, a fee “the “Upfront Fee”) in the amount set forth in the GS Fee Letter as the “Upfront Fee”, which will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Initial Funding Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter. A portion of each Lender’s Upfront Fee shall be remitted, on the Initial Funding Date, as directed by such Lender to the payment of costs and expenses of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Make-Whole Amounts shall be payable pursuant to the Priority of Payments or as otherwise expressly stated herein.

2.8. Voluntary Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. Any time and from time to time after the Availability Period, the Borrower may prepay any Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part, in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of that amount; provided that:

(1) if such voluntary prepayment is a partial prepayment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom and the Market Value Test is satisfied after giving effect thereto unless the Requisite Lenders have otherwise expressly consented thereto; and

(2) sufficient amounts are on deposit in the Principal Collection Account and Interest Collection Account to pay the principal of the Loans to be prepaid together with the other amounts that will be owing in connection therewith, including the related Make-Whole Amount.

(b) Voluntary Prepayment Notices, Etc. All such voluntary prepayments shall be made, upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written or telephonic notice, in each case given to the Administrative Agent by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed by delivery of written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit a copy of such written notice to each Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator). Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein, except that such notice shall be revocable if a condition to prepayment specified in such notice is not fulfilled.

(b) the related Make-Whole Amount (if any); and

2.11. General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments by the Borrower shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due therefor. For purposes of computing interest and fees, payments made after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to any Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder.

2.12. Ratable Sharing.

The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Transaction Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or under analogous provisions of any other Debtor Relief Law, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) that is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, consolidation, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder. The provisions of this Section 2.12 shall not be construed to apply to (1) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (2) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Obligations owed to it.

2.13. Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(b) Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. If on any date (1) any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that the making, maintaining, converting to or continuation of its Loans has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (2) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Requisite Lenders (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that the making, maintaining, converting to or continuation of its Loans has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of the Lenders in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lenders (or in the case of the preceding clause (1), such Lender) shall be an “Affected Lender” and such Affected Lender shall on that day give notice (by e-mail or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). If the Administrative Agent receives a notice from (x) any Lender pursuant to clause (1) of the preceding sentence or (y) a notice from Lenders constituting the Requisite Lenders pursuant to clause (2) of the preceding sentence, then (A) the obligation of the Lenders (or, in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (1) of the preceding sentence, such Lender) to make additional Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by each Affected Lender; (B) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice, such Funding Notice shall be deemed to be rescinded by the Borrower; (C) the Lenders’ (or in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (1) of the preceding sentence, such Lender’s) obligations to maintain their respective outstanding Loans that bear interest based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (D) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Loans that bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Average Applicable Margin per annum on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice, the Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(c), to rescind such Funding Notice as to all Lenders by giving written or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed by delivery of written notice thereof) to the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender).

(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or payable by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (1) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing; (2) if any prepayment or other principal payment of any of its Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or (3) if any prepayment of any of its Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.

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

(e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.13 and under Section 2.14 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” in an amount equal to the amount of such Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided that each Lender may fund each of its Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.13 and under Section 2.14.

2.14. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.15 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any Change in Law: (1) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or any company controlling such Lender to any additional Tax (other than (A) Taxes for which the Lender is indemnified under Section 2.15, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (2) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Loans that are reflected in the definition of “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate”) or any company controlling such Lender; or (3) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or any company controlling such Lender or such Lender’s obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or in a lump sum or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.14(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

(b) Capital Adequacy and Liquidity Adjustment. If any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that (1) any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or (2) compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) or any company controlling such Lender with any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any company controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling company with regard to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by the Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling company. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.14(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

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

2.15. Taxes; Withholding, Etc.

(a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by or on behalf of any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax.

(b) Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other Person (acting as a withholding agent) is (in such withholding agent’s reasonable good faith discretion) required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Transaction Documents: (1) the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as the Borrower becomes aware of it; (2) the Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Lender; (3) unless the withholding or deduction is on account of an Excluded Tax, the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment (including any such Taxes or Other Taxes, other than Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15(b)), the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (4) within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (2) above to pay, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction and reasonably available to the party required to make such withholding or deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority.

(c) Evidence of Exemption from U.S. Withholding Tax. Each Lender that is not a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for (a “Non-US Lender”) shall, to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrower, on or prior to the Initial Funding Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Initial Funding Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (1) two copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP and/or W-8IMY (or, in each case, any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by the Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to (or is subject to a reduced rate of) deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Transaction Documents, or (2) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate together with two copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by the Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to (or is subject to a reduced rate of) deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Transaction Documents. Each Lender that is a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) (a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower on or prior to the Initial Funding Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) two copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or otherwise prove that it is entitled to such an exemption. Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence expired, obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP, W-8IMY and/or W-9 (or, in each case, any successor form), or a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate and two copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY (or, in each case, any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by the Borrower to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Transaction Documents, or notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. Each Lender shall also provide any other form or certificate that would allow the Borrower to make payments at a reduced rate of, or without, withholding Tax, to the extent that such Lender is reasonably able to provide such form or certificate. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Lender under Section 2.15(b)(3) if such Lender shall have failed to deliver the forms, certificates or other evidence required by the first sentence of this Section 2.15(c).

(d) FATCA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount pursuant to Section 2.15(b) with respect to any United States federal withholding tax imposed under FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction Document would be subject to 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 and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.

(e) Payment of Other Taxes. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.15(b), the Borrower shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities in accordance with applicable law. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent official receipts or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in respect of any Other Taxes payable hereunder promptly after payment of such Other Taxes.

(f) Borrower Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and any Lender for the full amount of Taxes, other than Excluded Taxes, for which additional amounts are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.15(b) arising in connection with payments made under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and Other Taxes (including any such Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other 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 such Credit Party shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such payment shall be due within ten Business Days of such Credit Party’s receipt of such certificate.

(g) Lender Indemnity. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for (1) Taxes for which additional amounts are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.15(b) arising in connection with payments made under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and Other Taxes (including any such Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent therefor and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so); (2) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.6(g)(1) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (3) any Taxes that are Excluded Taxes, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other 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. Such payment shall be due within ten days of such Lender’s receipt of such certificate. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (g).

(h) Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), 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 2.15 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 request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) if such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund 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.

2.16. Obligation to Mitigate.

Each Lender agrees that, if such Lender requests payment under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, then such Lender will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender if, as a result thereof, the additional amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future would be eliminated or reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided that (1) such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.16 unless the Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above and (2) such payment may only be requested by the Lenders imposing such increased costs on borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower under credit facilities comparable to the facility provided hereunder. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.17. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this 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, 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 9 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.4 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, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a Deposit Account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments. 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 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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, that 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 to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.18. Removal or Replacement of a Lender.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if:

(a) (1) any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall give notice to the Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, (2) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (3) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after the Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or

(b) (1) during the Availability Period, any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, and (2) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default pursuant to Section 2.17(b) within five Business Days after the Borrower’s request that it cure such default; or

(c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 11.5(b), the consent of the Requisite Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained,

then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6 and the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Increased-Cost Lender, a Non-Consenting Lender or a Defaulting Lender; provided that:

(1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender hereunder;

(2) on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(c), 2.14 or 2.15; or otherwise as if it were a prepayment;

(3) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(4) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender.

Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided that any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender. Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 11.6. If a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 11.6 on behalf of a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 11.6. Any removal of Goldman Sachs or its successor as a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section shall also constitute the removal of Goldman Sachs or its successor as the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.7.

2.19. Reserved.

2.20. Reduction Amounts.

If at any time the Investment Manager proposes a Proposed Underlying Asset for which at least two Pricing Sources are available and the Requisite Lenders notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (including by telephone or email) that:

(x) the Requisite Lenders have determined (in their sole and absolute discretion) that such Proposed Underlying Asset is a Non-Private Collateral Obligation; and

(y) the Consent Condition is not satisfied with respect to such Proposed Underlying Asset,

then such event will constitute a “Rejection Event” and the Proposed Underlying Asset will constitute a “Rejected Underlying Asset” unless the Consent Condition is subsequently satisfied with respect to such Proposed Underlying Asset within three Business Days after the Lenders receive a Reduction Notice for the related Reduction Event as described below.

If the Consent Condition is not satisfied with respect to any Restructuring or any Material Modification of an Underlying Asset, such event will constitute a “Rejection Event” and the Underlying Asset will also constitute a “Rejected Underlying Asset” unless the Consent Condition is subsequently satisfied with respect to such Restructuring or Material Modification within three Business Days after the Lenders receive a Reduction Notice for the related Reduction Event as described below.

Each time three unique and consecutive Rejection Events occur (each with respect to Underlying Assets or Proposed Underlying Assets issued by obligors unaffiliated with one another), such occurrence will constitute a “Reduction Event”, whereupon the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Lenders (each such notice, a “Reduction Notice”), declare a “Reduction Amount” (with effect from the date of such Reduction Notice, each such date a “Reduction Date”) with respect to such Reduction Event equal to the average of the Reduction Calculation Amounts of the Rejected Underlying Assets relating to such Reduction Event (determined, for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account the portion of such Rejected Underlying Asset that is or would have been acquired by the Borrower), provided that the Reduction Amount related to such Reduction Event shall be deemed reduced to zero (with effect from the date of the related Reduction Notice) if, within three Business Days following the related Reduction Date, the Consent Condition is subsequently satisfied with respect to one or more of the Rejected Underlying Assets related to such Reduction Event.

For the avoidance of doubt, multiple Reduction Events may occur during the term of this Agreement entitling the Borrower to declare Reduction Amounts with respect to each such Reduction Event (the sum of all Reduction Amounts at any time, the “Aggregate Reduction Amount” at such time).

If (at any time after any Reduction Event) the Investment Manager proposes a Proposed Underlying Asset and the Requisite Lenders notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (including by telephone or email) that the Consent Condition is satisfied with respect to such Proposed Underlying Asset (each such date, an “Acceptance Date”), or the Consent Condition is satisfied with respect to a related Restructuring or Material Modification, the Aggregate Reduction Amount will be reduced (but not below zero) (with effect from such Acceptance Date) by an amount equal to the Reduction Calculation Amount of such Proposed Underlying Asset or Underlying Asset (determined, for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account the portion of such Proposed Underlying Asset or Underlying Asset, as the case may be, that is or would have been acquired by the Borrower).

As used herein, “Reduction Calculation Amount” means:

(x) for any Rejection Event relating to a Proposed Underlying Asset that is a Rejected Underlying Asset, the proposed purchase price of such Rejected Underlying Asset; and

(y) for any Rejection Event relating to a Restructuring or Material Modifications, the then-prevailing market value of the related Rejected Underlying Asset.

SECTION 3. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

3.1. Initial Funding Date.

The obligation of each Lender to make a Credit Extension on the Initial Funding Date is subject to the satisfaction, or waiver in accordance with Section 11.5, of the following conditions on or before the Initial Funding Date:

(c) Each Agent hereby agrees to act in its capacity as such upon the express provisions contained herein and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, as applicable. The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of Agents and the Lenders and no Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Section 10. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Credit Party. No implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Transaction Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any Transaction Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Borrower Accounts Securities Intermediary 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 as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. The permissive authorizations, entitlements, powers and rights granted to the Agents in the Transaction Documents shall not be construed as duties.

10.2. Powers and Duties.

Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party as are specifically delegated or granted to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together (in the case of the Agents other than the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Borrower Accounts Securities Intermediary) with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and each Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and responsibilities as are express specified herein and therein. Each Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees, and no Agent shall be responsible for any misconduct or gross negligence on the part of any such agent or employee appointed by it with due care. No Agent shall have, by reason hereof or any of the other Transaction Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person; and nothing herein or any of the other Transaction Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Transaction Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

The Agents shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by them (1) with the consent of or at the request or direction of the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agents shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, to give such request or direction hereunder), or, solely with respect to the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator with the consent of or at the direction of the Administrative Agent or (2) in the absence of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final non-appealable judgment.

The Lenders hereby direct each of the Agents, as applicable, to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to which they are a party, respectively, on or prior to the Initial Funding Date and to execute and deliver additional Transaction Documents and Escrowed Assignment Agreement Documents from time to time (upon written direction by the Requisite Lenders). It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in taking any of the foregoing actions, the Agents are not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under pursuant to, the Transaction Documents, the Agents each shall have all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to them under this Agreement (in addition to those that may be granted to them under the terms of such other agreement or agreements).

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the component amounts thereof.

(b) No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Transaction Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from the Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions hereunder) or, solely with respect to the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator instructions in respect thereof from the Administrative Agent and, upon receipt of such instructions from the Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be) or the Administrative Agent, such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions, including for the avoidance of doubt refraining from any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (1) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any resolution, officer’s certificate, opinion of counsel, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, communication, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for such Agent or any Credit Party), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (2) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions hereunder) or the Administrative Agent.

(c) Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates (each also a “sub-agent”). The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any Affiliates, receivers, delegates or sub-agents of the Agents and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein (in the case of the Administrative Agent) as well as any other activities as the Agents. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent, receiver or delegate and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, receiver or delegate, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent, receiver or delegate as if such sub-agent, receiver or delegate and its respective Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Agents and each receiver and delegate, (1) such sub-agent, receiver or delegate shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of Credit Parties and the Lenders, (2) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, receiver or delegate, and (3) such sub-agent, receiver or delegate shall only have obligations to the respective Agent and not to any Credit Party, Lender or any other Person and no Credit Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent, receiver or delegate. The Agents shall not be responsible for the conduct of such sub-agents, receivers, delegates or attorneys appointed by them with due care.

(d) No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default, Event of Default, Prospective Make-Whole Event, Reduction Event, Rejection Event, Zero Value Event or Make-Whole Event unless and until written notice describing such circumstance or event is given to an Authorized Officer of such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender and states that it is a notice of such circumstance or event. In the absence of receipt of such notice, each Agent may conclusively assume that there is no Default, Event of Default, Prospective Make-Whole Event, Reduction Event, Rejection Event, Zero Value Event or Make-Whole Event. Upon receipt of any such notice, the relevant Agent shall have no duty or obligation in connection therewith unless and until directed by the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agents shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, to give such direction hereunder) or, with respect to directions to the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator, the Administrative Agent. No Agent shall have any duty to take any action to determine whether any such circumstance or event has occurred. Except as expressly provided herein, delivery of reports, documents and other information to any Agent is for informational purposes only and such Agent’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive knowledge of any event or circumstance or any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein or any other related document. Except with respect to written notices of Defaults and Events of Default of which an Authorized Officer of the applicable Agent has actual knowledge, information contained in notices, reports or other documents delivered to such Agent and other publicly available information shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge. In the absence of receipt of such notice or actual knowledge, the applicable Agent may conclusively assume that there is no Default or Event of Default. Knowledge of notices or other documents delivered to any Agent in any capacity shall not constitute knowledge of or delivery to (1) such Agent in any other capacity under the Transaction Documents or to any Affiliate or other division of such Agent or (2) any other Agent.

(e) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent under the Transaction Documents are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral, shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers and are subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Administrator nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Administrator shall have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to protect, preserve or exercise rights against any Person with respect to any of the Collateral (except to the extent expressly required in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party) and (in the case of the Collateral Agent) shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it to the Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to the contrary, before taking or omitting any action to be taken or omitted by an Agent under the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, such Agent may seek the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or, solely with respect to direction to a Bank Party or the Collateral Administrator, the Administrative Agent (which written direction may be in the form of an e-mail), and such Agent shall be entitled to rely (and shall be fully protected in so relying) upon such direction. The Agents shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with such direction. In absence of such direction with respect to any action or inaction, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such action unless and until such Agent shall have received such direction, and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. In the absence of an express statement in the Transaction Documents regarding which Lender shall direct in any circumstance, the direction of the Requisite Lenders shall apply and be sufficient for all purposes. Any provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents authorizing any Agent to take any action shall not obligate such Agent to take such action.

(g) No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Person purporting to own it or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant to the Transaction Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority. No Agent shall be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall any Agent be responsible or liable for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral or to protect against any diminution in value of the Collateral.

(h) No Agent shall be under any obligation to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall any Agent have any responsibility or liability with respect to any instrument, certificate or report furnished pursuant to the Transaction Documents, or with respect to any calculations not expressly to be determined by such Agent.

(i) No Agent shall ever be required to use, risk or advance its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights and powers under this Agreement or under the other Transaction Documents (and, without limiting the foregoing, no Agent, in its capacity as such, shall have any obligation to grant any credit extension or to make any advance hereunder). In no event shall any Agent be liable, directly or indirectly, for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages (including, without limitation, lost profits), even if such Agent has been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action. No Agent shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes, terrorist attacks or other disasters.

(j) Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive written direction of the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agents shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, to give such advice or concurrence hereunder or thereunder) or, solely with respect to a Bank Party or the Collateral Administrator, the Administrative Agent (and shall not be liable for any loss or expense that arises as a result of its failure to act while awaiting such advice or concurrence) and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders) against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take, or omitting to take any such action.

(k) Each Agent shall be entitled to consult with and rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters and such advice shall be full protection and authorization for any action taken or omitted by such Agent in good faith thereon.

(l) In connection with the delivery of any information to any Agent by the Investment Manager, the Borrower or any other Person to be used by such Agent in connection with the preparation or distribution of calculations or reports, such Agent is entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy of any such information and shall not be required to investigate or reconfirm its accuracy and shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever for any errors, inaccuracies or incorrect information resulting from the use of such information.

(m) If any Agent shall require any information to perform its duties under the Transaction Documents, the Borrower shall provide, or shall instruct the Investment Manager to provide, such information to such Agent promptly upon request.

(n) At any time and from time to time, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator may request information from the Administrative Agent as to the identity of the Requisite Lenders or any other Lender, and the Administrative Agent will endeavor to provide such information reasonably promptly. The Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall be entitled to fully rely on such information from the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall have no duty, obligation or liability with respect to the identity or amount of Loans held by any Lender or the calculation of the Requisite Lenders.

(o) Each Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to such Agent and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.

(p) No Agent shall be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith unless it shall be finally proved that the Agent was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(q) No Agent shall have any duty (1) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any Transaction Documents referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (2) to see to any insurance or (3) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied in connection with this Agreement (except as set forth in Section 2.15).

(r) No Agent nor any of its officers or employees shall be required to ascertain whether any borrowing hereunder (or any amendment or termination of this Agreement) has been duly authorized or is in compliance with any other agreement to which the Borrower is a party (whether or not the Agent is also a party to such other agreement).

(s) No Agent shall be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of this Agreement.

(t) No Agent shall be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, any Person’s compliance with the covenants described herein or with respect to any reports or other documents filed under this Agreement or any other related document.

(u) No Agent shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights vested in it by this Agreement or to enforce any remedy or realize upon any of the Collateral unless (1) it has been directed to take such action by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders, and (2) it has been offered security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities (including fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. No Agent shall be held liable for any action or inaction taken in accordance with the directions of the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders.

(v) The only obligation of the Bank Parties with respect to any notice or report delivered to them is to deliver a copy of the same to the Administrative Agent, in each case unless such Agent is otherwise expressly required to act in respect of such notice pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein or in another Transaction Document to which such Agent is a party.

10.4. Agents Entitled to Act as Lender.

The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans (if any), each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include any such Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with any Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

10.5. Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment.

(a) Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation, without reliance upon any Agent or any other Person, of the financial condition and affairs of the Credit Parties in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Credit Parties. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any investigation or appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment Agreement and funding its Loans on the Initial Funding Date, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Transaction Document and each other document required to be approved by the Requisite Lenders or Lenders or delivered to any Agent, as applicable, on the Initial Funding Date.

10.6. Right to Indemnity.

Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, to the extent that such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the use of proceeds thereof; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided that (1) in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and (2) this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

10.7. Successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall have the right to resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to the Agents, the Lenders and the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Agents, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and signed by the Requisite Lenders. The Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a financial institution to act as the Administrative Agent hereunder, subject to approval of the Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld, and the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective, and the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its obligations and duties hereunder, on the earliest of (1) 30 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal (regardless of whether a successor has been appointed or not), (2) the acceptance of appointment by such successor Administrative Agent by the Requisite Lenders and the Borrower or (3) such other date, if any, agreed to by the Requisite Lenders. If the Requisite Lenders shall not have appointed a successor Administrative Agent by the end of the period specified above, then the Requisite Lenders shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent and the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall promptly transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Transaction Documents. After any resigning or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent hereunder.

(b) The Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator (each, a “Specified Agent”) may resign at any time by giving prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, and each Specified Agent may be removed at any time upon at least 30 days’ notice with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and such Specified Agent signed by the Requisite Lenders. The Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a financial institution (or, in the case of the Collateral Administrator, another entity acceptable to them) as a successor Specified Agent hereunder, subject to the approval of the Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld, and each Specified Agent’s resignation shall become effective, and such Specified Agent shall be discharged from its obligations and duties hereunder, on the earliest of (1) 30 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal (regardless of whether a successor been appointed or not), (2) the acceptance of appointment by such successor Specified Agent (which shall be no earlier than 30 days after delivery of such notice of resignation or removal unless agreed to by the Requisite Lenders and the removed Specified Agent) or (3) such other date, if any, agreed to by the Requisite Lenders and the removed Specified Agent. Until a successor Specified Agent is appointed, any Collateral or other property held by a Specified Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Transaction Documents shall continue to be held by the resigning or removed Specified Agent as bailee until such time as a successor Specified Agent is appointed (all costs and expenses incurred by such resigning or removed Specified Agent for holding such Collateral shall be paid by the Borrower). Each Specified Agent shall have the right, at the cost and expense of the Borrower, to petition a court of competent jurisdiction regarding the delivery of any Collateral or other property it holds as bailee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Specified Agent hereunder by a successor Specified Agent, such successor Specified Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Specified Agent under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and the resigning or removed Specified Agent shall promptly (x) transfer to such successor Specified Agent all Collateral or other property held hereunder or under the Transaction Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Specified Agent under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and (y) execute and deliver to such successor Specified Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be requested by the Requisite Lenders (and at the cost and expense of the Borrower) in connection with the assignment to such successor Specified Agent of the security interests created under the Transaction Documents. After any resigning or removed Specified Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as such Specified Agent, the provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents while it was such Specified Agent hereunder.

(c) Any Person into which any Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust services business of such Agent shall be the successor of such Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

10.8. Collateral Documents.

(a) Agents under Collateral Documents. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Collateral Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Collateral Documents. Subject to Section 11.5, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent) is authorized to and shall execute any documents or instruments requested by either (1) the Borrower (and at the cost and expense of the Borrower) in connection with an Acquisition or Disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement and to evidence the release of any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such Disposition as permitted by Section 6 of Schedule F or (2) or otherwise consented to by the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agents shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, to give such request or direction hereunder) in connection with any other Disposition of assets in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Right to Realize on Collateral. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Credit Parties, the Agents and each other Secured Party hereby agree that (1) no Secured Party (other than the Collateral Agent) shall have any right to realize upon any of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that all such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Transaction Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent (at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders) for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and (2) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent (at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders) on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other Disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code or under any analogous provisions of any other Debtor Relief Law), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code or such other Debtor Relief Law) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such Disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Requisite Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such Disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such Disposition.

(c) Release of Collateral, Termination of Transaction Documents; Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Transaction Document, when all Obligations have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or expired (as evidenced by an executed payoff letter and confirmation from the Administrative Agent of the receipt of such payoff amounts), upon written direction of the Borrower (at the cost and expense of the Borrower), the Collateral Agent shall (at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower) take such actions as shall be requested in writing by the Borrower to evidence the release of its security interest in all Collateral provided for in any Transaction Document. The Borrower shall prepare any such documentation at its expense and shall be responsible for the costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent (including legal fees and expenses) in connection with any release under this clause (c).

10.9. Withholding Taxes.

To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without duplication of the provisions of Section 2.15(g), if the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

10.10. Administrative Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;

(b) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans 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 Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Transaction Documents allowed in such judicial proceeding); and

(c) 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 Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Agents under the Transaction Documents. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Agents under the Transaction Documents out of the estate in any such proceeding shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

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

If such person elects to give Citibank email (of .pdf or similar files) or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and Citibank in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, Citibank’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. Citibank shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Citibank reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly (a) all the actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of the Transaction Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto; (b) all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for the Borrower and the other Credit Parties; (c) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to the Agents (in each case excluding allocated costs of internal counsel) in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of the Transaction Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and any other documents or matters requested by the Borrower; (d) all the actual costs and reasonable expenses of creating, perfecting, recording, maintaining and preserving Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, including filing and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, title insurance premiums and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to each Agent and of counsel providing any opinions that any Agent or the Requisite Lenders may request in respect of the Collateral or the Liens created pursuant to the Transaction Documents; (e) all other actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by each Agent in connection with any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and (f) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (excluding allocated costs of internal counsel) and costs of settlement, incurred by any Agent and the Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from any Credit Party hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents by reason of such Default or Event of Default (including in connection with the sale, lease or license of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings.

11.3. Indemnity.

(a) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 11.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, each Credit Party agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, each Agent and Lender and each of their respective officers, partners, members, directors, trustees, advisors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided that no Credit Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, in each case, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 11.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Credit Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against each Lender and each Agent and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any Loan, or the use of the proceeds thereof. None of any Lender or any Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents 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 Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(c) Each Credit Party also agrees that no Lender or Agent nor their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents will have any liability to any Credit Party or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any Credit Party or any other person in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan, or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, in each case, except in the case of any Credit Party to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by such Credit Party or its affiliates, shareholders, partners or other equity holders have been found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or Agent or their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents in performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein; provided that in no event will such Lender or Agent, or their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents have any liability for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of such Lender’s or Agent’s, or their respective Affiliates’, directors’, employees’, attorneys’, agents’ or sub-agents’ activities related to this Agreement, any Transaction Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein.

11.4. Set-Off.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to any Credit Party or to any other Person (other than the Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender hereunder and under the Transaction Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto and participations therein or with any other Transaction Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured; provided that, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (1) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.12 and 2.17 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 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 and their respective Affiliates under this Section 11.4 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have.

11.5. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Requisite Lenders’ Consent. Subject to the additional requirements of Sections 11.5(b) and 11.5(c), no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Transaction Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent), so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Requisite Lenders stating that the Requisite Lenders object to such amendment.

(b) Affected Lenders’ Consent. Without the written consent of each Lender that would be directly affected thereby, no amendment, modification, termination, or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

(1) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note;

(2) waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not prepayment);

(3) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or any fee or Make-Whole Amount payable hereunder;

(4) extend the time for payment of any such interest, fees or Make-Whole Amounts;

(5) reduce the principal amount of any Loan;

(6) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this Section 11.5(b), Section 11.5(c) or any other provision of this Agreement that expressly provides that the consent of all Lenders is required;

(7) amend the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share”;

(8) release all or substantially all of the Collateral except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents and except in connection with a “credit bid” undertaken by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Requisite Lenders pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code or other analogous Debtor Relief Law or other sale or disposition of assets in connection with an enforcement action with respect to the Collateral permitted pursuant to the Transaction Documents (in which case only the consent of the Requisite Lenders will be needed for such release); or

(9) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Transaction Document;

provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, all Lenders shall be deemed directly affected thereby with respect to any amendment described in clauses (7), (8) and (9).

(c) Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Transaction Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of the Transaction Documents as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent, as applicable. Unless the Agents have been given prior written notice of such amendment and has consented thereto in writing, no amendments may (a) affect the obligations or rights of the Agents including, without limitation, expanding or restricting the Agents’ discretion, (b) affect the amount or priority of any fees or other amounts payable to the Agents hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or (c) otherwise materially and adversely affect any of the Agents.

(d) Execution of Amendments, Etc. The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 11.5 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Credit Party, on such Credit Party.

(e) Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

11.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders. No Credit Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Agents and Lenders and other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Register. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until recorded in the Register following receipt of a fully executed Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof, together with the required forms and certificates regarding tax matters and any fees payable in connection with such assignment, in each case, as provided in Section 11.6(d). Each assignment shall be recorded in the Register promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the fully executed Assignment Agreement and all other necessary documents and approvals, prompt notice thereof shall be provided to the Borrower and a copy of such Assignment Agreement shall be maintained, as applicable. The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date”. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans.

(c) Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans owing to it or other Obligations (provided that pro rata assignments shall not be required and each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Loan and any related Commitments):

(1) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (a) of the definition of the term “Eligible Assignee” upon the giving of notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; and

(2) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (b) of the definition of the term “Eligible Assignee” upon giving of notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and to any other Person with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be (x) unreasonably withheld or delayed or, (y) in the case of Borrower, required at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing); provided that (A) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof and (B) each such assignment pursuant to this Section 11.6(c)(2) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than the lesser of (x) $2,500,000, (y) such lesser amount as agreed to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent or (z) the aggregate amount of the Loans and any related Commitments of the assigning Lender.

(d) Mechanics.

(1) Assignments and assumptions of Loans and Commitments by Lenders shall be effected by manual execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Assignment Agreement. Assignments made pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be effective as of the Assignment Effective Date. In connection with all assignments there shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver pursuant to Section 2.15(c), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (y) in connection with an assignment by or to Goldman Sachs or any Affiliate thereof or (z) in the case of an assignee which is already a Lender or is an affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender).

(2) 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 Borrower 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 (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if 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 Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(e) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date that (1) it is an Eligible Assignee (or, if not an Eligible Assignee, the assignment to it is permitted under this Section 11.6); (2) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; (3) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 11.6, the disposition of such Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control); and (4) it will not provide any information obtained by it in its capacity as a Lender to the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor.

(f) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 11.6, as of the Assignment Effective Date (1) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans and Commitments as reflected in the Register and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (2) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 11.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date; provided that, anything contained in any of the Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (3) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect any Commitment of such assignee; and (4) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon the Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

(g) Participations.

(1) Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than a Credit Party, the Sponsor, any Sponsor Affiliate or any Natural Person or, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing at the time of such sale, a Disqualified Institution) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation. Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 11.6(g) shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s participation interest with respect to the Loans (each, a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Unless otherwise required by the Internal Revenue Service, or otherwise reasonably required by the Borrower in connection with legal or regulatory requirements, any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by the relevant Lender directly and solely to the Internal Revenue Service. 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 a participation with respect to the Loan for all purposes under this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(2) The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (B) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Transaction Documents (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating.

(3) The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13(c), 2.14 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided that (x) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after such participant acquired the participation or unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (y) a participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender; and (z) except as specifically set forth in clauses (x) and (y) of this sentence, nothing herein shall require any notice to the Borrower or any other Person in connection with the sale of any participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.4 as though it were a Lender, provided that such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender.

(h) Certain Other Assignments and Participations. In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 11.6 any Lender may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided that (1) no Lender, as between the Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and (2) in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee, be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

11.7. Independence of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

11.8. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.13(c), 2.14, 2.15, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.22 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.15, 9.3(b) and 9.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans, and the termination hereof.

11.9. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Transaction Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

11.10. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.

Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or any Agent or Lender enforces any security interests or exercises any right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

11.11. Severability.

In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

11.12. Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights.

The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

11.13. Headings.

Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

11.14. APPLICABLE LAW.

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIMS SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW OR TORT LAW ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND ANY DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO POST-JUDGMENT INTEREST) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

11.15. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.

SUBJECT TO CLAUSE (E) OF THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE, ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ANY FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OR, IF THAT COURT DOES NOT HAVE SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, IN ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH CREDIT PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE (SUBJECT TO CLAUSE (E) BELOW) JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 11.1; (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES THAT THE AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS UNDER ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF, AND CONSENTS TO VENUE IN, ANY SUCH COURT.

11.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 11.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

11.17. Usury Savings Clause.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Obligations are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower.

Each Agent, Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Transaction Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Credit Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Credit Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Credit Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Credit Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

11.22. Confidentiality.

(a) The Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Administrative Agent and each Lender will maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information to protect Confidential Information delivered to such Person; provided that such Person may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to: (i) such Person’s directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.22 and to the extent such disclosure is reasonably required for the administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the matters contemplated hereby or the investment represented by the Loans; (ii) such Person’s legal advisors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.22 and to the extent such disclosure is reasonably required for the administration of this Agreement, the matters contemplated hereby or the investment represented by the Loans; (iii) any other Lender, or any of the other parties to this Agreement, the Investment Management Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; (iv) any federal or state or other regulatory, governmental or judicial authority having jurisdiction over such Person in the course of any routine examination by such authority; (v) any other Person with the consent of the Borrower and the Investment Manager; (vi) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (A) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Person, (B) in response to any subpoena or other legal process upon prior notice to the Borrower and the Investment Manager (unless prohibited by applicable law, rule, order or decree or other requirement having the force of law), (C) in connection with any litigation to which such Person is a party upon prior notice to the Borrower and the Investment Manager (unless prohibited by applicable law, rule, order or decree or other requirement having the force of law), (D) to the extent such Person may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies with respect to the Obligations, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or (E) in the Collateral Agent’s, the Collateral Administrator’s or the Administrative Agent’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Collateral Administration Agreement or other Transaction Document; (vi) any Person of the type that would be, to such Person’s knowledge, permitted to acquire Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 11.6 to which such Person sells or offers to sell any such Loan or any part thereof (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.22); and (vii) with respect to any Collateral Obligation, any actual or prospective transferee of such Collateral Obligation (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.22 with respect to such Confidential Information or has otherwise agreed to be bound by all applicable confidentiality restrictions applicable to such Confidential Information in the Reference Instruments relating to such Collateral Obligation). Each Lender agrees that it shall use the Confidential Information for the sole purpose of making an investment in the Loans or administering its investment in the Loans; and that the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Administrative Agent shall neither be required nor authorized to disclose to Lenders any Confidential Information in violation of this Section 11.22.

If any Event of Default has occurred and has not been cured or waived, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 7 to the contrary, interest on and principal and other amounts owing in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations shall be paid in full in Cash (in order of priority) before any further payment or distribution is made on account of the Equity Owner.

SECTION 13. ASSIGNMENT OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

(a) The Borrower, in furtherance of the covenants of this Agreement and as security for the Obligations and the performance and observance of the provisions hereof and of the other Transaction Documents, hereby assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all of the Borrower’s estate, right, title and interest in, to and under the Investment Management Agreement (except as set forth in the second proviso of this Section 13(a)), including (1) the right to give all notices, consents and releases thereunder, (2) the right to take any legal action upon the breach of an obligation of the Investment Manager thereunder, including the commencement, conduct and consummation of proceedings at law or in equity, (3) the right to receive all notices, accountings, consents, releases and statements thereunder and (4) the right to do any and all other things whatsoever that the Borrower is or may be entitled to do thereunder; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall not have the authority to execute any of the rights set forth in subclauses (1) through (4) above or may otherwise arise as a result of the grant unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder and the Collateral Agent is directed in writing to take any such action by the Required Lenders and such authority shall terminate at such time, if any, as such Event of Default is cured or waived; provided that the assignment made hereby does not include an assignment of the Borrower’s right to terminate the Investment Manager pursuant to Section 11 of the Investment Management Agreement or any other provision contained therein.

(b) The assignment made hereby is executed as collateral security, and the execution and delivery hereby shall not in any way impair or diminish the obligations of the Borrower under the provisions of the Investment Management Agreement, nor shall any of the obligations contained in the Investment Management Agreement be imposed on the Collateral Agent.

(c) Upon the repayment of the Loans in full and the release of the Collateral from the lien of the Transaction Documents, this assignment and all rights herein assigned to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties shall cease and terminate and all the estate, right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent in, to and under the Investment Management Agreement shall revert to the Borrower and no further instrument or act shall be necessary to evidence such termination and reversion.

(e) The Borrower agrees that this assignment is irrevocable, and that it will not take any action which is inconsistent with this assignment or make any other assignment inconsistent herewith.

(5) Except as otherwise set forth herein and therein, the Investment Manager shall continue to serve as Investment Manager under the Investment Management Agreement notwithstanding that the Investment Manager shall not have received amounts due it under the Investment Management Agreement because sufficient funds were not then available hereunder to pay such amounts in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Investment Manager agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Borrower for the non-payment of the Investment Management Fees, or other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Investment Manager under the Investment Management Agreement prior to the date which is one year and one day (or, if longer, the applicable preference period) after the payment in full of the Loans; provided that nothing in this Section 13 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Investment Manager (x) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year and one day (or longer) period in (A) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Borrower or (B) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Investment Manager or its Affiliates or (y) from commencing against the Borrower or any of its properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceeding.

(b) All calculations with respect to Distributions on the Pledged Obligations shall be made by the Investment Manager on the basis of information as to the terms of each such Pledged Obligation and upon report of payments, if any, received on such Pledged Obligation that are furnished by or on behalf of the issuer of or borrower with respect to such Pledged Obligation and, to the extent they are not manifestly in error, such information or report may be conclusively relied upon in making such calculations.

(c) For each Due Period, the Distribution on any Pledged Obligation (other than a Defaulted Obligation or other Collateral which is assigned a Principal Balance of zero, which shall be, until any Distribution is actually received by the Borrower from such Defaulted Obligation or Collateral Obligation, assumed to have a Distribution of zero) shall be the minimum amount, including coupon payments, accrued interest, scheduled Principal Payments, if any, by way of sinking fund payments which are assumed to be on a pro rata basis or other scheduled amortization of principal, return of principal, and redemption premium, if any, assuming that any index applicable to any payments on a Pledged Obligation that is subject to change is not changed, that, if paid as scheduled, will be available in the Interest Collection Account or the Principal Collection Account, at the end of the Due Period net of withholding or similar taxes to be withheld from such payments (but taking into account payments made in respect of such taxes that result in the net amount actually received by the Borrower (free and clear of taxes, whether assessed against such obligor thereof, the counterparty with respect thereto, or the Borrower) being equal to the full amount that the Borrower would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required).

(d) The Investment Manager’s judgment in all cases under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be subject to Section 2 of the Investment Management Agreement.

(e) For purposes of (1) the Schedule of Collateral Obligations or a list of Collateral Obligations prepared in accordance with this Agreement, (2) the Valuation Reports, (3) the Monthly Reports, (4) the Additional Reports prepared in accordance with this Agreement and (5) preparing any other reports hereunder, Collateral Obligations committed to be purchased by the Borrower shall be treated as owned or acquired by the Borrower (with the Borrower deemed to have a perfected security interest in such Collateral Obligation) and Collateral Obligations committed to be sold by the Borrower shall be treated as having been sold by the Borrower and shall not be treated as owned by the Borrower.
