(c) On the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, including Article III, each Lender severally agrees to make loans to the Borrower (each, an “Advance”) from time to time on any Business Day during the Reinvestment Period, on a pro rata basis in each case in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to but not exceeding such Lender’s Commitment and, as to all Lenders, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not exceeding the Borrowing Base as then in effect. Each such borrowing of an Advance on any single day is referred to herein as a “Borrowing”.

Within such limits and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow (and re-borrow) Advances under this Section 2.01 and prepay Advances under Section 2.05.

Section 2.02. Making of the Advances

(a) If the Borrower desires to make a Borrowing under this Agreement it shall give the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator) a written notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) for such Borrowing (which notice shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt) not later than 10:00 a.m. on the date which is at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date.

Each Notice of Borrowing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, dated the date the request for the related Borrowing is being made, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, shall attach a Borrowing Base Calculation Statement, and shall otherwise be appropriately completed. The proposed Borrowing Date specified in each Notice of Borrowing shall be a Business Day falling on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date, and the amount of the Borrowing requested in such Notice of Borrowing (the “Requested Amount”) shall be equal to at least $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the remaining unfunded Commitments hereunder or, in the case of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans or Revolving Collateral Loans, such lesser amount required to be funded by the Borrower in respect thereof).

The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of its receipt of such Notice of Borrowing by noon on the day of receipt thereof (or, if such day is not a Business Day, by noon on the next succeeding Business Day).

(b) Each Lender shall, not later than 2:00 p.m. on each Borrowing Date in respect of Advances, make its Percentage of the applicable Requested Amount available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds by disbursing such funds in USD in the Notice of Borrowing to the account of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the wiring instruction set forth in the notification of Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.02(a). Once each Lender has funded its Percentage of the applicable Requested Amount, the Administrative Agent shall make the Requested Amount available to the Borrower by disbursing such funds in USD in the Notice of Borrowing to the Principal Collection Account.

Section 2.03. Evidence of Indebtedness; Notes

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to it and resulting from the Advances made by such Lender to the Borrower, from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest thereon and paid to it, from time to time hereunder; provided that the failure of any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the information provided to it by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Advances outstanding with respect to each Lender.

(b) Any Lender may request that its Advances to the Borrower be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender and otherwise appropriately completed. Thereafter, the Advances of such Lender evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 12.06(a)) be represented by a Note payable to such Lender (or registered assigns pursuant to Section 12.06(a)), except to the extent that such Lender (or assignee) subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Advances once again be evidenced as described in clause (a) of this Section 2.03.

Section 2.04. Payment of Principal and Interest

The Borrower shall pay principal and Interest on the Advances and fees to the Lenders in accordance with the Priority of Payments as follows:

(a) 100% of the outstanding principal amount of each Advance, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, shall be payable on the Final Maturity Date.

(b) Interest shall accrue at the Interest Rate on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in full. The Administrative Agent shall determine the unpaid Interest and Commitment Fees payable thereto prior to each Payment Date using the applicable Interest Rate for the related Interest Accrual Period to be paid by the Borrower with respect to each Advance on each Payment Date for the related Interest Accrual Period and shall advise each Lender and the Servicer thereof and shall send a consolidated estimated invoice of all such Interest and Commitment Fees to the Borrower on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to such Payment Date (provided that such estimate shall not preclude the final settlement of interest on such Payment Date or, if necessary, on the next Payment Date).

(c) Accrued Interest on each Advance shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Payment Date, and (ii) in connection with any prepayment in full of the Advances pursuant to Section 2.05(a); provided that (x) with respect to any prepayment in full of the Advances Outstanding, accrued Interest on such amount through the date of prepayment may be payable on such date or as otherwise agreed to between the Lenders and the Borrower and (y) with respect to any partial prepayment of the Advances outstanding, accrued Interest on such amount through the date of prepayment shall be payable on the Payment Date following such prepayment. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date.

(d) Subject in all cases to Section 2.04(e), the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Obligations, including the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Advances and accrued interest thereon, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof (including Section 2.15), under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against any Secured Party or any other Person.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement are limited recourse obligations of the Borrower payable solely from the Collateral in accordance with the Priority of Payments and, following realization of the Collateral, and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the Priority of Payments and, subject to Section 2.13, all obligations of and any claims against the Borrower hereunder or in connection herewith after such realization shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had against any officer, director, employee, shareholder, Affiliate, member, manager, agent, partner, principal or incorporator of the Borrower or their respective successors or assigns for any amounts payable under this Agreement. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this clause (e) shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by this Agreement until such Collateral has been realized. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this clause (e) shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Borrower as a party defendant in any proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under this Agreement, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against the Borrower.

Section 2.05. Prepayment of Advances

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day, voluntarily prepay Advances in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, subject to Section 2.10; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent written notice of such prepayment (such notice, a “Notice of Prepayment”) in the form of Exhibit C hereto not later than 12:00 noon two (2) Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment (provided that same day notice may be given to cure any non-compliance with the Coverage Test). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such Notice of Prepayment. Each such Notice of Prepayment shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt and shall be dated the date such notice is being given, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and otherwise appropriately completed. Each prepayment of any Advance by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) (other than a prepayment made in order to cure any non-compliance with the Coverage Test) shall in each case be in a principal amount of at least $100,000 or, if less, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Advances Outstanding or, in the case of any prepayment of Advances with the proceeds of a prepayment or repayment of principal of Collateral Loans, such lesser amount as is paid by the applicable Obligor in respect thereof. If a Notice of Prepayment is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. The Borrower shall prepay the Advances on each Payment Date in the manner and to the extent provided in the Priority of Payments, including as applicable and without limitation, the Mandatory Amortization Amount applicable to each applicable Payment Date. The Borrower shall provide, in each Payment Date Report, notice of the aggregate amounts of Advances that are to be prepaid on the related Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(i) In addition to any other obligation of the Borrower to cure any Coverage Test Failure pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, if any Coverage Test Failure exists, then the Borrower may eliminate such Coverage Test Failure in its entirety by effecting one or more (or any combination thereof) of the following actions in order to eliminate such Coverage Test Failure: (A) deposit cash in USD into the Principal Collection Account, (B) repay Advances (together with any breakage payments pursuant to Section 2.10 and all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Agents, Custodian, Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary and the Lenders, in each case in respect of the amount so prepaid), (C) sell Collateral Loans in accordance with Article X, or (D) during the Reinvestment Period, pledge additional Collateral Loans as Collateral.

(ii) In connection with the proposed repayment of Advances or pledge of additional Collateral Loans as Collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i), the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall deliver in accordance with Section 2.05(a) (x) to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Custodian), notice of such repayment or pledge and a duly completed Borrowing Base Calculation Statement, updated to the date such repayment or pledge is being made and giving pro forma effect to such repayment or pledge, and (y) to the Administrative Agent, if applicable, a description of any Collateral Loans and each Obligor of such Collateral Loan to be pledged.

(iii) Until such time as any Coverage Test Failure has been cured in full and no other Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall not request the right to transfer (by sale, dividend, distribution or otherwise), and the Borrower shall not request that the Collateral Agent grant the release of any Lien on, or the transfer of, any Collateral Loan from the Collateral, other than (i) any transfer that complies with Section 10.01(a) or (ii) in connection with the settlement of purchases or sales of Collateral Loans committed to be acquired or sold by the Borrower prior to the occurrence of such Coverage Test Failure that have not yet settled.

(d) Additional Prepayment Provisions. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be subject to Sections 2.04(c) and 2.10 and applied to the Advances in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Percentages.

Section 2.06. Changes of Commitments

(a) Automatic Reduction and Termination.

(i) The Commitments of all Lenders shall be automatically reduced to zero at 5:00 p.m. on the Commitment Termination Date.

(ii) Prior to the Commitment Termination Date, if, as of any Determination Date after the end of the Ramp-Up Period (or, if a Securitization Date has occurred, any Determination Date after the three-month anniversary thereof), the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all Lenders exceeds 133.33% of the Advances Outstanding as of such date, then at the election of the Administrative Agent, the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be permanently reduced (pro rata, based on each Lender’s Percentage), without premium or penalty, to an aggregate amount equal to 133.33% of the Advances Outstanding as of such date.

(b) Optional Termination or Reductions. Prior to the Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the unused amount of the Facility Amount at any time or from time to time without any fee or penalty, except as specified in Section 2.12(b), upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Administrator and the Custodian of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date of such termination or reduction and the amount of any such reduction; provided that (i) the amount of any such reduction of the Facility Amount (other than with respect to repayments of Advances outstanding made by the Borrower to eliminate a Coverage Test Failure) shall be equal to at least $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the remaining unused portion thereof, and (ii) no such reduction will reduce the Facility Amount below the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Advances Outstanding at such time and (y) the Net Aggregate Exposure Amount. Such notice of termination or reduction shall be irrevocable and effective only upon receipt and shall be applied pro rata to reduce the respective Commitments of each Lender and shall, if applicable, be subject to the payment of the Prepayment Fee.

(c) Effect of Termination or Reduction. The Commitments of the Lenders once terminated or reduced may not be reinstated. Each reduction of the Facility Amount pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be applied ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 2.07. Maximum Lawful Rate

It is the intention of the parties hereto that the interest on the Advances shall not exceed the maximum rate permissible under Applicable Law. Accordingly, anything herein or in any Note to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event any interest is charged to, collected from or received from or on behalf of the Borrower by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto in excess of such maximum lawful rate, then the excess of such payment over that maximum shall be applied first to the payment of amounts then due and owing by the Borrower to the Secured Parties under this Agreement (other than in respect of principal of and interest on the Advances) and then to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances Outstanding.

Section 2.08. Several Obligations

The failure of any Lender to make any Advance to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Advance on such date. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator, shall be responsible for the failure of any Lender to make any Advance, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make an Advance required to be made by such other Lender.

Section 2.09. Increased Costs

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, compulsory loan, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Person (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate);

(ii) subject any Secured Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Non-Excluded Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Affected Person or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense, affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Affected Person by reference to the LIBOR Rate or any participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Person of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Advance made by reference to the LIBOR Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance) or to increase the cost to such Affected Person or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Person hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. If a Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under this Section 2.09, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender, suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Advances by reference to the LIBOR Rate, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case (x) all Advances of such Lender to be denominated in Dollars shall be made or continued by reference to the Base Rate and (y) such Lender shall have no obligation to make any Advances by reference to the LIBOR Rate); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital or on the capital of such Affected Person’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Advances made by such Affected Person to a level below that which such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Person’s policies and the policies of such Affected Person’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity coverage), by an amount deemed to be material by such Affected Person, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Affected Person in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Liquidity Support. If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.09, any Affected Person is required to compensate a bank or other financial

institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Person in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Person for any amounts payable or paid by it.

(d) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of an Affected Person setting forth the amount or amounts, in Dollars, necessary to compensate such Affected Person or its holding company as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section shall be promptly delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such amount shown as due on any such certificate on the next Payment Date after receipt thereof.

(e) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further 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.

Section 2.10. Compensation; Breakage Payments

The Borrower agrees to compensate each Affected Person from time to time, on the Payment Dates following such Affected Person’s written request (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts) in accordance with the Priority of Payments, for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Affected Person to lenders of funds borrowed to make or carry an Advance bearing interest that was computed by reference to the LIBOR Rate and any loss sustained by such Affected Person in connection with the re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits), which such Affected Person may sustain: (i) if for any reason (including any failure of a condition precedent set forth in Article III but excluding a default by the applicable Lender) a Borrowing of any Advance bearing interest that was computed by reference to the LIBOR Rate by the Borrower does not occur on the Borrowing Date specified therefor in the applicable Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Borrower, (ii) if any payment, prepayment or conversion of any of the Borrower’s Advances bearing interest that was computed by reference to the LIBOR Rate occurs on a date that is not the last day of the relevant Interest Accrual Period, and (iii) if any payment or prepayment of any Advance bearing interest that was computed by reference to the LIBOR Rate is not made on a Payment Date or pursuant to a Notice of Prepayment given by the Borrower. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.10 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender (with a copy to the Agents, and accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts and a description of the basis for requesting such amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.11. Illegality; Inability to Determine Rates

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event of a Disruption Event, then the affected Lender shall promptly notify the Agents and the Borrower thereof, and such Lender’s obligation to make or maintain Advances hereunder based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to a Lender’s suspending its obligation to make or maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate pursuant to Section 2.11(a), such Lender

will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation would enable such Lender to again make and maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no unreimbursed cost or material legal or regulatory disadvantage (as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such provision.

(c) If, prior to the first day of any Interest Accrual Period or prior to the date of any Advance, as applicable, either (i) the Administrative Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for the applicable Advances, or (ii) the Required Lenders determine and notify the Administrative Agent that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate with respect to such Advances does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Advances, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

(d) Upon receipt of any notice described in Section 2.11(a) or (c), the Borrower may revoke any pending request for the making or continuation of an Advance based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for an Advance based on the Base Rate.

Section 2.12. Fees

(a) Commitment Fee. On each Payment Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Collateral Agent (for the account of the Lenders on a pro rata basis) a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) in an amount equal to the sum, for each day during the related Interest Accrual Period from and including the Closing Date to and excluding the last day of the Reinvestment Period, of the product of (i) the Commitment Fee Rate, divided by 360 and (ii) the Unused Amount, in each case for each such day during the related Interest Accrual Period.

(b) Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator, Custodian and Securities Intermediary Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary such fees as are mutually agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary, including the fees set forth in the Collateral Administration and Agency Fee Letter.

Section 2.13. Rescission or Return of Payment

The Borrower agrees that, if at any time (including after the occurrence of the Final Maturity Date) all or any part of any payment theretofore made by it to any Secured Party or any designee of a Secured Party is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates), the obligation of the Borrower to make such payment to such Secured Party shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence and this Agreement and any other applicable Facility Document shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such obligations, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 2.14. Default Interest

During the existence and continuance of an Event of Default, at the election of the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders, all Obligations (other than principal and interest on the Advances, where the default rate is reflected in the Applicable Margin) shall bear interest at the Default Rate until rescinded by Required Lenders. Interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 2.15. Payments Generally

(a) All amounts owing and payable to any Secured Party, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party, in respect of the Advances and other Obligations, including the principal thereof, interest, fees, indemnities, expenses or other amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Facility Document, shall be paid on behalf and at the direction of the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) by the Collateral Agent to the applicable recipient in immediately available funds, on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and all without counterclaim, setoff, deduction, defense, abatement, suspension or deferment. Each Lender shall provide wire instructions to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent. Other than with respect to payments on a Payment Date, payments must be received by the Collateral Agent on or prior to 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day to be remitted by the Collateral Agent on such Business Day to the Lenders; provided that payments received by the Collateral Agent after 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day will be deemed to have been paid on the next following Business Day. At no time will the Collateral Agent have any duty (express or implied) to fund (or front or advance) any amount owing by the Borrower hereunder.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all computations of interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed in computing interest on any Advance, the date of the making of the Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided that, if an Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s Interest shall be paid on such Advance. All computations made by the Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Facility Document shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.16. Replacement of Lenders

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that (i) any Affected Person shall request reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.09 (each such Affected Person, a “Potential Terminated Lender”), (ii) the Borrower shall be required to reimburse any Affected Person for any Non-Excluded Taxes or pay any additional amounts to any Affected Person or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Affected Person pursuant to Section 12.03 (each such Affected Person, also a “Potential Terminated Lender”), (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (such Defaulting Lender, also, a “Potential Terminated Lender”) or (iv) any Lender does not give or approve any consent, waiver or amendment that requires the approval of all Lenders or all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof and has been approved by the Required Lenders (such non-consenting Lender, also, a “Potential Terminated Lender”), the Borrower, at its sole expense and effort, shall be permitted, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Potential Terminated Lender, to require such Potential Terminated Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.09 and 12.03) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Facility Documents to an assignee permitted pursuant to Section 12.06 (a “Replacement Lender”) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if such Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(A) such Potential Terminated Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Facility Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.10 but subject to Section 2.17) from the Replacement Lender (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Sections 2.09 or 12.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(D) in the case of an assignment based on clause (iv) above, the Replacement Lender shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

(b) Each Potential Terminated Lender hereby agrees to take all actions reasonably necessary, at the sole expense of the Borrower, to permit a Replacement Lender to succeed to its rights and obligations hereunder. Upon the effectiveness of any such assignment to a Replacement Lender, (i) such Replacement Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, (ii) such Replacement Lender shall have a Commitment in the amount not less than the Terminated Lender’s Commitment assumed by it and (iii) the Terminated Lender shall have no further Commitment hereunder.

(c) No Lender shall be required to make any assignment or delegation pursuant to Section 2.16(a) if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.17. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(b), to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 12.01.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise) 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 Event of Default exists and is continuing), to the funding of any Advance 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 Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this

Agreement; fifth, so long as no Event of Default exists and is 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 sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. 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.

(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.12(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure.

Section 7.02. Release of Security Interest

If and only if all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent obligations) have been paid in full and all Commitments have been terminated and the Administrative Agent has provided notice of the same to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall, at the expense of the Borrower, promptly execute, deliver and file or authorize for filing such instruments as the Borrower shall prepare and reasonably request in order to reassign, release or terminate the Secured Parties’ security interest in the Collateral. The Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that upon the sale or disposition of any Collateral by the Borrower in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the security interest of the Secured Parties in such Collateral shall immediately and automatically terminate without further act, the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide notice of the same to the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall, on behalf of the Secured Parties and at the expense of the Borrower, execute, deliver and file or authorize for filing such instruments as the Borrower shall prepare and reasonably request to reflect or evidence such termination. Any and all actions under this Article VII in respect of the Collateral shall be without any recourse to, or representation or warranty by any Secured Party and shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.

Section 7.03. Rights and Remedies

The Collateral Agent (for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties) shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other Applicable Law. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent or its designees shall, acting solely at

the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders acting through the Administrative Agent, (a) instruct the Borrower to deliver any or all of the Collateral, the Related Documents and any other document relating to the Collateral to the Collateral Agent or its designees and otherwise give all instructions for the Borrower regarding the Collateral; (b) sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, all without judicial process or proceedings; (c) take control of the Proceeds of any such Collateral; (d) subject to the provisions of the applicable Related Documents, exercise any consensual or voting rights in respect of the Collateral; (e) release, make extensions, discharges, exchanges or substitutions for, or surrender all or any part of the Collateral; (f) enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral; (g) institute and prosecute legal and equitable proceedings to enforce collection of, or realize upon, any of the Collateral; (h) require that the Borrower immediately take all actions necessary to cause the liquidation of the Collateral in order to pay all amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations, in accordance with the terms of the Related Documents; (i) redeem or withdraw or cause the Borrower to redeem or withdraw any asset of the Borrower to pay amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations; (j) make copies of all books, records and documents relating to the Collateral; and (k) endorse the name of the Borrower upon any items of payment relating to the Collateral or upon any proof of claim in bankruptcy against an account debtor.

The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (acting through the Administrative Agent), it shall execute all documents and agreements which are necessary or appropriate to have the Collateral to be assigned to the Collateral Agent or its designee. For purposes of taking the actions described in clauses (a) through (k) of this Section 7.03 the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (which appointment being coupled with an interest and is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid (other than unasserted contingent obligations)), with power of substitution, in the name of the Collateral Agent or in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, but at the cost and expense of the Borrower and, except as expressly required by Applicable Law, without notice to the Borrower. Such appointment shall in no way impose upon the Collateral Agent any obligation to take any such action unless specifically directed to do so and subject to the receipt of an indemnity from the Lenders reasonably satisfactory to it.

Section 7.04. Remedies Cumulative

Each right, power, and remedy of the Agents and the other Secured Parties, or any of them, as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Agents or any other Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such Persons of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.

Section 7.05. Related Documents

(a) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby agrees that, to the extent not expressly prohibited by the terms of the Related Documents, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it shall (i) upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, promptly forward to the

Administrative Agent all material information and notices which it receives under or in connection with the Related Documents relating to the Collateral, and (ii) upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, act and refrain from acting in respect of any request, act, decision or vote under or in connection with the Related Documents relating to the Collateral only in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent (in its reasonable discretion).

(b) The Borrower agrees that, to the extent the same shall be in the Borrower’s possession, it will hold all Related Documents relating to the Collateral in trust for the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, and upon request of the Administrative Agent following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or as otherwise provided herein, promptly deliver the same to the Collateral Agent or its designee. In addition, in accordance with this Agreement, promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) following its acquisition of any Collateral Loan, the Borrower shall deliver to the Custodian the Required Loan Documents.

Section 7.06. Borrower Remains Liable

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Borrower shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in and relating to the Collateral (including the Related Documents) to the extent set forth therein, and shall perform all of its duties and obligations under such contracts and agreements to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, and (ii) the exercise by any Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under any such contracts or agreements included in the Collateral.

(b) No obligation or liability of the Borrower is intended to be assumed by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under or as a result of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including under any Related Document or any other agreement or document that relates to Collateral and, to the maximum extent permitted under provisions of Law, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties expressly disclaim any such assumption.

Section 7.07. Protection of Collateral

The Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and file or authorize the filing of all such UCC-1 financing statements and continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action as may be necessary to secure the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder and to:

(a) grant security more effectively on all or any portion of the Collateral;

(b) maintain, preserve and perfect any grant of security made or to be made by this Agreement including the first priority nature of the Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;

(c) perfect or protect the validity of any grant made or to be made by this Agreement (including any and all actions necessary or desirable as a result of changes in Applicable Law);

(d) enforce any of the Collateral or other instruments or property included in the Collateral;

(e) preserve and defend title to the Collateral and the rights therein of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties in the Collateral against the claims of all third parties; and

(f) pay or cause to be paid any and all taxes levied or assessed upon all or any part of the Collateral.

If the Borrower fails to prepare and file any instrument or to take any action required pursuant to this Section 7.07 within ten (10) Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s request and written instruction therefor, the Borrower hereby designates the Collateral Agent as its agent to prepare and file such instrument and take such action required pursuant to this Section 7.07. The Borrower further authorizes the Collateral Agent to file UCC-1 financing statements and continuation statements therefor, that name the Borrower as debtor and the Collateral Agent as secured party and that describes “all assets in which the debtor now or hereafter has rights” (or words of similar effect) as the Collateral in which the Collateral Agent has a grant of security hereunder. Such designation shall not impose upon the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, or release or diminish, the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 7.07.

Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall, not earlier than six (6) months and not later than one (1) month prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of filing of any financing statement filed pursuant to this Agreement authorize, deliver and file or cause to be filed an appropriate continuation statement with respect to each such financing statement.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Administrative Agent may and the Collateral Agent shall at the direction of the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders acting through the Administrative Agent) demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all Money and other property payable to or receivable by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, including all payments due on the Collateral, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall segregate and hold all such Money and property received by it in trust for the Secured Parties and shall apply it as provided in this Agreement. Each Covered Account shall be established and maintained under the Account Control Agreement with a Qualified Institution. Any Covered Account may contain any number of subaccounts for the convenience of the Collateral Agent or as required by the Servicer for convenience in administering the Covered Account or the Collateral.

Section 8.02. Collection Account

(a) In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian two segregated, non-interest bearing trust accounts, one of which will be designated the “Interest Collection Account” and one of which will be designated the “Principal Collection Account” (collectively, the “Collection Account”), which shall be maintained with the Custodian in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and which shall be subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall from time to time deposit into the Interest Collection Account promptly upon receipt thereof all Interest Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent and identified as such by the Servicer. The Collateral Agent shall from time to time deposit into the Principal Collection Account promptly upon receipt thereof all Principal Proceeds (unless simultaneously reinvested in additional Collateral Loans in accordance with Article X or required to be deposited in the Unfunded Reserve Account pursuant to Section 8.05) received by the Collateral Agent and identified as such by the Servicer. All funds deposited from time to time in the Collection Account pursuant to this

Agreement shall be held by the Collateral Agent as part of the Collateral and shall be applied to the purposes herein provided.

(b) At any time when reinvestment is permitted pursuant to Article X, the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower (subject to compliance with Article X) may, by delivery of written instructions (which may be by email) of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator, direct the Collateral Agent to, and upon receipt of such instructions the Collateral Agent shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account representing Principal Proceeds (together with accrued interest received with regard to any Collateral Loan and Interest Proceeds but only to the extent used to pay for accrued interest on an additional Collateral Loan) and reinvest such funds in additional Collateral Loans in accordance with such instructions. If at any time the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account is less than the Unfunded Reserve Required Amount, the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) may, by delivery of written instructions (which may be by email) of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator, direct the Collateral Agent to, and upon receipt of such instructions the Collateral Agent shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account representing Principal Proceeds and remit such funds as so directed by the Servicer to meet the Borrower’s funding obligations in respect of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans or Revolving Collateral Loans.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall transfer to the Payment Account from the Collection Account for application pursuant to Section 9.01(a), on each Payment Date, the amount set forth to be so transferred in the Payment Date Report for such Payment Date.

Section 8.03. Payment Account

In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian a single, segregated, non-interest bearing trust account, which shall be designated as the “Payment Account”, which shall be maintained by the Borrower with the Custodian in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and which shall be subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent. Except as provided in Section 9.01, the only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Payment Account shall be to pay amounts due and payable under the Priority of Payments on the Payment Dates in accordance with their terms and the provisions of this Agreement. The Borrower shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Payment Account other than in accordance with this Agreement and the Priority of Payments.

Section 8.04. Custodian Account

Section 8.05. The Unfunded Reserve Account; Fundings

On the date of acquisition by the Borrower of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loan or Revolving Collateral Loan and any Payment Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Collateral Agent to withdraw funds from the Principal Collection Account for deposit into the Unfunded Reserve Account, such that the sum of the amount of funds on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account shall be equal to or greater than an amount (the “Unfunded Reserve Required Amount”) equal to:

(a) at all times during the Reinvestment Period:

(i) the aggregate unfunded commitments in respect of all Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans, multiplied by

(ii) 100% minus the product of the Advance Rate then in effect times the Original Asset Value (expressed as percentage of par); and

(b) on the Commitment Termination Date and at all times thereafter, the sum of:

(i) the aggregate unfunded commitments in respect of all Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans, plus

(ii) the aggregate amount of funds needed to settle purchases of Collateral Loans committed to be acquired by the Borrower prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period that have not yet settled.

During the Reinvestment Period, fundings of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans shall be made using, first, amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account (in an amount equal to the amount on deposit therein with respect to such Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loan or Revolving Collateral Loan), then available Principal Proceeds and finally, borrowing of Advances under Section 2.01. Prior to or immediately after the occurrence of the Commitment Termination Date (other than a Commitment Termination Date following the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Borrower), the Borrower shall request a final Borrowing in an amount sufficient to fund the Unfunded Reserve Required Amount; provided that after giving effect to such Borrowing, the Coverage Test shall be satisfied. After the Commitment Termination Date, fundings of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans shall be made using, first, amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account, then available Principal Proceeds.

During the Amortization Period, Principal Proceeds received by the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) in respect of Revolving Collateral Loans (to the extent not accompanied by a permanent reduction in the related commitments) shall be deposited by the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) into the Unfunded Reserve Account to the extent the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account is less than the Unfunded Reserve Required Amount.

Amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account will be available solely to cover drawdowns on Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans and settle purchases of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans committed to be acquired by the Borrower prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period; provided that, to the extent that the aggregate amount of funds on deposit therein at any time exceeds the Unfunded Reserve Required Amount, the Collateral Agent shall remit such excess to the Principal Collection Account. In addition, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, funds in the Unfunded Reserve Account may be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent and deposited into the Principal Collection Account at the direction of the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.06. [Reserved]

Section 8.07. Account Control Agreement.

The provisions of Sections 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 8.05 and 8.06 are subject to the terms of the Account Control Agreement.

Section 8.08. Funds in Covered Accounts; Reports by Collateral Agent

(a) By delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer (which may be in the form of standing instructions), the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) shall at all times direct the Collateral Agent to, and, upon receipt of such certificate, the Collateral Agent shall, invest all funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Unfunded Reserve Account in Eligible Investments having stated maturities no later than the Business Day preceding the next Payment Date (or such shorter maturities expressly provided herein). If, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall not have given any such investment directions, the Collateral Agent shall seek instructions from the Servicer within three (3) Business Days after transfer of any funds to such accounts and shall invest in Eligible Investments that mature overnight until it shall receive written instructions from the Servicer. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall invest and reinvest such funds as fully as practicable in Eligible Investments maturing not later than the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after the date of such investment (unless putable at par to the issuer thereof) or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date (or such shorter maturities expressly provided herein). Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise herein, all interest, gain, loss and other income from such investments shall be deposited, credited or charged (as applicable) in and to the Interest Collection Account. Absent its timely receipt of such instruction from the Servicer or Administrative Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall not be under an obligation to invest (or pay interest on) funds held hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall in no way be liable for any insufficiency in a Covered Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment.

(b) The Collateral Agent agrees to give the Borrower prompt notice if any Covered Account or any funds on deposit in any Covered Account, or otherwise to the credit of a Covered Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. All Covered Accounts shall remain at all times with the Custodian.

(c) The Collateral Administrator shall supply, in a timely fashion, to the Borrower and the Servicer any information regularly maintained by the Collateral Administrator that the Borrower or the Servicer may from time to time reasonably request with respect to the Collateral Loans, the Covered Accounts and the other Collateral and provide any other requested information reasonably available to the Collateral Administrator and required to be provided by Section 8.09 or to permit the Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder or the Borrower’s obligations hereunder that have been delegated to the Servicer. The Collateral Administrator shall promptly forward to the Servicer copies of notices, periodic financial reports and other writings received by it from the Obligor of any Collateral Loan or from any Clearing Agency with respect to any Collateral Loan.

Section 8.09. Accountings

(a) Monthly. Not later than the seventeenth (17th) day of each calendar month (other than the months for which a Payment Date Report is delivered) (the “Monthly Reporting Date”), the Borrower shall compile and provide (or cause to be compiled and provided) to the Administrative Agent and the Equityholder a monthly report (which includes a Borrowing Base Calculation Statement prepared by the Servicer and provided to the Collateral Administrator for inclusion in the Monthly Report) (each, a “Monthly Report”) in accordance with this Section 8.09. The Borrower shall compile and provide (or cause to be compiled and provided) to the Administrative Agent a loan data file (the “Data File”) for the previous

monthly period ending on the Monthly Report Determination Date (containing such information agreed upon by the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf), and the Administrative Agent). The Borrower shall provide (or cause to be provided) the Data File no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Monthly Reporting Date. As used herein, the “Monthly Report Determination Date” with respect to any calendar month will be ten (10) Business Days prior to the Monthly Reporting Date. The first Monthly Report shall be delivered on March 17, 2019 and shall be determined with respect to the Monthly Report Determination Date that is March 4, 2019. The Monthly Report for a calendar month shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, the Servicer, the Equityholder and the Administrative Agent and shall contain the information with respect to the Collateral Loans and Eligible Investments included in the Collateral set forth in Schedule 2 hereto, and shall be determined as of the Monthly Report Determination Date for such calendar month.

(b) Payment Date Accounting. The Borrower shall render (or cause to be rendered) an accounting (each, a “Payment Date Report”), determined as of the close of business on each Determination Date preceding a Payment Date, and shall deliver such Payment Date Report to the Agents and the Equityholder not later than the second Business Day preceding the related Payment Date. The Payment Date Report shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, the Servicer, the Equityholder and the Administrative Agent and shall contain the information set forth in Schedule 3 hereto.

In addition, the Borrower shall provide (or cause to be provided) in each Payment Date Report a statement setting forth in reasonable detail each amendment, modification or waiver under any Related Document for each Collateral Loan that constitutes a Material Modification that became effective since the immediately preceding Payment Date Report (or, in respect of the first Payment Date Report, from the Closing Date) unless previously disclosed under Section 5.01(d)(vii) or 8.09(a).

The first Payment Date Report shall be delivered on April 15, 2019, shall be determined with respect to the Determination Date that is April 3, 2019, and shall be used in connection with the payments to be made on the Payment Date that is April 17 2019.

(c) Failure to Provide Accounting. If the Collateral Agent shall not have received any accounting provided for in this Section 8.09 on the first Business Day after the date on which such accounting is due to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall notify the Borrower, who shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such accounting by the applicable Payment Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower has engaged the Collateral Administrator pursuant to Article XV hereof to compile and provide the information and reports to be provided in this Section 8.09.

Section 8.10. Release of Collateral

(a) If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, by delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Collateral Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the settlement date for any sale of any item of Collateral certifying that the sale of such Collateral is being made in accordance with Section 10.01 and such sale complies with all applicable requirements of Section 10.01, direct the Collateral Agent to release or cause to be released such item from the Lien of this Agreement and, upon receipt of such certificate, the Collateral Agent (or Custodian, as applicable) shall deliver any such item, if in physical form, duly endorsed to the broker or purchaser designated in such certificate or, if such item is a Clearing Corporation Security, cause an appropriate transfer thereof to be made, in each case against receipt of the sales price therefor as specified by the Servicer in such certificate; provided that the Collateral Agent may deliver any such item in physical form for examination in accordance with street delivery custom; provided, further, that the Collateral Agent will not be deemed to have notice of an Event of Default unless it has received written notice thereof.

(b) The Collateral Agent (or Custodian, as applicable) shall, upon the receipt of a certificate of the Borrower, by delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer, deliver any Collateral in accordance with such certificate, and execute such documents or instruments as are delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower and reasonably necessary to release or cause to be released such security from the Lien of this Agreement, which is set for any mandatory call or redemption or payment in full to the appropriate paying agent on or before the date set for such call, redemption or payment, in each case against receipt of the call or redemption price or payment in full thereof.

(c) As provided in Section 8.02(a), the Collateral Agent shall deposit any proceeds received by it from the disposition of a Collateral Loan in the applicable Collection Account as instructed by the Servicer, unless simultaneously applied to the purchase of additional Collateral Loans as permitted under and in accordance with the requirements of this Article VIII and Article X.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent) certifying that there are no Commitments outstanding and all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Facility Documents have been satisfied (other than unasserted contingent obligations), execute such documents or instruments as are delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower and reasonably necessary to release any remaining Collateral from the Lien of this Agreement.

(e) Any security, Collateral Loan or amounts that are released pursuant to Section 8.10(a) or (b) shall be automatically released from the Lien of this Agreement.

Any direction received by the Collateral Agent on or prior to 12:00 noon on any Business Day shall be effective on such Business Day and any direction received by the Collateral Agent after 12:00 noon on any Business Day, or at any time on any day that is not a Business Day, shall be effective in each case on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 8.11. Reports by Independent Accountants

(a) The Servicer will appoint a firm of independent certified public accountants, independent auditors or independent consultants specializing in securitization transactions (together with its successors, the “Independent Accountants”), in each case reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, for purposes of reviewing and delivering the reports of such accountants required by this Agreement, which may be the firm of independent certified public accountants, independent auditors or independent consultants that performs accounting services for the Servicer. The Servicer may remove any firm of Independent Accountants at any time upon notice to, but without the consent of, the Administrative Agent. Upon any resignation by such firm or removal of such firm by the Servicer, the Servicer shall promptly appoint, by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Agents, a successor thereto that shall also be a firm of independent certified public accountants, independent auditors or independent consultants of recognized standing, which may be a firm of independent certified public accountants, independent auditors or independent consultants that performs accounting services for the Servicer. The fees of such Independent Accountants and any successor shall be payable by the Borrower.

(b) The Servicer will cause the Independent Accountants to furnish to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) within 120 days of the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower (starting with the fiscal year ending 2019), to the effect that such firm conducted an audit consistent with Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 with respect to the reporting delivered hereunder, to assist the Administrative Agent in determining that the Monthly Reports and Payment Date Reports for the related fiscal year were prepared, and the Servicer’s and the Collateral Agent’s performance hereunder was, in compliance with this Agreement, except for such exceptions as it believes to be immaterial and such other

exceptions as will be set forth in such firm’s report (including, with respect to any such exceptions, an explanation of how each such exception arose and reflecting the input/explanation of the Servicer and/or the Collateral Agent thereto). Such reports pursuant to this clause (b) shall be at the expense of the Borrower.

(c) In the event the Independent Accountants appointed pursuant to clause (b) above require the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to agree to the procedures performed by such Independent Accountants with respect to any of the reports, statements of such Independent Accountants, or sign any agreement in connection therewith, the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall, upon direction from the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower), so agree to the terms and conditions requested by such Independent Accountants as a condition to receiving documentation required by this Agreement; it being understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent shall deliver such agreement in conclusive reliance on such direction and shall make no inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or responsibility in respect of, the terms of the engagement of such Independent Accountants by the Borrower or the sufficiency, validity or correctness of the agreed upon procedures in respect of such engagement. The Collateral Agent may require the delivery of a written direction to the execution of any such agreement required for the delivery of any report or statement of such Independent Accountants to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Upon direction from the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower), the Collateral Agent shall be authorized, without liability on its part, to execute and deliver any such agreement with such Independent Accountants, which agreement, to the extent so directed by the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower), may include, amongst other things, (i) an acknowledgement that the Borrower has agreed that the procedures by such Independent Accountants are sufficient for the relevant purposes, (ii) releases by the Collateral Agent any claims, liabilities and expenses arising out of or relating to such Independent Accountant’s engagement, agreed-upon procedures or any report or statement issued by such Independent Accountants under any such engagement and acknowledgement of other limitations of liability in favor of such Independent Accountants and (iii) restrictions or prohibitions on the disclosure of any such reports, statements or other information or documents provided to it by such Independent Accountants.

ARTICLE XI
THE AGENTS

Section 11.01. Authorization and Action

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and, to the extent applicable, the other Facility Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, subject to the terms hereof. No Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Facility Documents to which it is a party or any fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties or obligations or liabilities on the part of such Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Facility Document to which such Agent is a party (if any) as duties on its part to be performed or observed. No Agent shall have or be construed to have any other duties or responsibilities in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Facility Documents, no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or, with respect to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent); provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes such Agent, in its judgment, to personal liability, cost or expense or which is contrary to this Agreement, the other Facility Documents or Applicable Law, or would be, in its judgment, contrary to its duties hereunder, under any other Facility Document or under Applicable Law. Each Lender agrees that in any instance in which the Facility Documents provide that the Administrative Agent’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld, provide for the exercise of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, or provide to a similar effect, it shall not in its instructions (or by refusing to provide instruction) to the Administrative Agent withhold its consent or exercise its discretion in an unreasonable manner.

(b) If the Collateral Agent has been requested or directed by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to take any action pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or such Facility Document in the manner so requested unless it shall have been provided indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by it in compliance with or in performing such request or direction. No provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document shall otherwise be construed to require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or to take any action that could in its judgment cause it to incur any cost, expenses or liability, unless it is provided indemnity acceptable to it against any such expenditure, risk, costs, expense or liability. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to take any action to exercise or enforce any power, right or remedy available to it under this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document unless and until directed by the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent on their behalf).

(c) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any officer, agent or representative thereof shall be personally liable for any action taken by any such Person in accordance with any notice given by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Facility Document even if, at the time such action is taken by any such Person, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders or Persons purporting to be the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders are not entitled to give such notice. If any dispute or disagreement shall arise as to the allocation of any sum of money received by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any Facility Document, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver such sum to a court of competent jurisdiction and therein commence an action for interpleader.

(d) If in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action, it may request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it. If the Collateral Agent does not receive such instructions within five (5) Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action. The Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with instructions received after such five (5) Business Day period except to the extent it has already, in good faith, taken or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions. The Collateral Agent shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instructions of the Administrative Agent.

(e) Instructions to the Collateral Agent.

(i) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action unless it has such instruction (in the form of Proper Instructions) from the Borrower (or the Servicer on the Borrower’s behalf) or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, as it reasonably deems necessary. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any action (or forbearance from action) taken pursuant to any Proper Instruction of the Borrower, the Servicer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable.

(ii) Whenever the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to receive or obtain any communications or information pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement, it shall be entitled to receive the same in writing, in form, content and medium reasonably acceptable to it and otherwise in accordance with any applicable term of this Agreement; and whenever any report or other information is required to be produced or distributed by the Collateral Agent it shall be in form, content and medium reasonably acceptable to it and the Borrower, and otherwise in accordance with any applicable term of this Agreement.

(iii) In case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, request instructions from the Servicer and may, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, request instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Servicer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Collateral Agent shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Administrative Agent.

(a) Neither Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall any Agent be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including lost profits), whether or not it has been advised or the likelihood of such damages. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Servicer or any of their Affiliates) and independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by such Agent in good faith in accordance with such opinion and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Secured Party or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any Person for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Facility Documents; (iii) shall not have any duty to monitor, ascertain, or investigate as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, any Related Document or any notice, consent, certificate, instruction or waiver, report, statement, opinion, direction or other instrument or writing on the part of the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or the Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, perfection, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Collateral (or the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens on the Collateral), this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, any Related Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document by relying on, acting upon (or by refraining from action in reliance on) any notice, consent, certificate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowing Base Calculation Statement), instruction or waiver, report, statement, opinion, direction or other instrument or writing (which may be delivered by telecopier, email, cable or telex, if acceptable to it) believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed or sent by the proper party or parties; (vi) shall not be responsible to any Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties regarding the Borrower or the Collateral or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of thereof or any such other document or the financial condition of any Person or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions related to any Person or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; and (vii) shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any Person to assure that any collateral exists or is owned by any Person or is cared for, protected or insured or that any liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available with respect thereto. No Agent shall have any liability to the Borrower or any Lender or any other Person for the Borrower’s, the Servicer’s, any Lender’s or any other Person’s, as the case may be, performance of, or failure to perform, any of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Facility Document.

(b) No Agent shall be liable for the actions of omissions of any other Agent (including concerning the application of funds), or under any duty to monitor or investigate compliance on the part of any other Agent with the terms or requirements of this Agreement, any Facility Document or any Related Document, or their duties hereunder or thereunder. Each Agent shall be entitled to assume the due authority of any signatory and genuineness of any signature appearing on any instrument or document it may receive (including each Notice of Borrowing received hereunder). No Agent shall be liable for any action taken in

good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action (including for refusing to exercise discretion or for withholding its consent in the absence of its receipt of, or resulting from a failure, delay or refusal on the part of the Required Lenders to provide, written instruction to exercise such discretion or grant such consent from the Required Lenders, as applicable). No Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless it shall be proven by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the relevant facts. Nothing herein or in any Facility Document or Related Document shall obligate any Agent to advance, expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action which in its reasonable judgment may cause it to incur any expense or financial or other liability for which it is not adequately indemnified. No Agent shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action. No Agent shall be charged with knowledge or notice of any matter unless actually known to a Responsible Officer of such Agent, or unless and to the extent written notice of such matter is received by such Agent at its address in accordance with Section 12.02. Any permissive grant of power to an Agent hereunder shall not be construed to be a duty to act. Neither Agent shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper or document. Neither Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except in the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.

(c) No Agent shall be responsible or liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations imposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters.

(d) The delivery of reports and other documents and information to the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Facility Document is for informational purposes only and the Collateral Agent’s receipt of such documents and information shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver the other Facility Documents to which it is a party. Whether or not expressly stated in such Facility Documents, in performing (or refraining from acting) thereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights, benefits, protections and indemnities which are afforded to it in this Agreement. In the event the Collateral Agent is also acting in capacity of Custodian, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary, the protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall also be afforded to the Custodian, Collateral Administrator and Securities Intermediary acting in such capacities; provided that such protections, immunities and indemnities shall be in addition to (but without duplication of) any protections, immunities and indemnities provided in the Account Control Agreement, or any other Facility Documents.

(e) Each Lender acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Agent has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by either Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Secured Party as to any matter. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon such Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Servicer, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Facility Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender also represents that it will,

independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the Facility Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Servicer. Neither Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or Servicer which may come into the possession of such Agent.

Section 11.04. Indemnification

Each of the Lenders agrees to indemnify and hold the Agents harmless (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to Section 12.04 or otherwise) from and against any and all Liabilities which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agents in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document or any action taken or omitted by the Agents under this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent for any portion of such Liabilities resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; and provided, further, that no Lender shall be liable to the Collateral Agent for any portion of such Liabilities unless such Liabilities are imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Collateral Agent as a result of any action taken, or not taken, by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement or at the direction of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Lenders, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise or to honor any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement at the request or direction of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders (or other Persons authorized or permitted under the terms hereof to make such request or give such direction) pursuant to this Agreement or any other Facility Document, unless the Administrative Agent or such Lenders shall have provided to the Collateral Agent security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses (including reasonable and documented attorney’s fees and expenses) and Liabilities which might reasonably be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction, whether such indemnity is provided under this Section 11.04 or otherwise). The rights of the Agents and obligations of the Lenders under or pursuant to this Section 11.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and the earlier removal or resignation of any Agent hereunder.

Section 11.05. Successor Agents

(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 11.05, each Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. If an Agent shall resign, then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent. If for any reason a successor agent is not so appointed and does not accept such appointment within thirty (30) days of notice of resignation, such Agent may appoint a successor agent. Any successor Administrative Agent and any successor Collateral Agent shall be a U.S. Person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America or an Affiliate of such bank and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1 (as in effect on the date hereof). The appointment of any successor Agent shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the consent of the Borrower to any such appointment shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing. Any resignation of an Agent shall be effective upon the appointment of a successor agent pursuant to this Section 11.05. After the effectiveness of any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents and the provisions of this Article XI shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect

to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents.

(b) Any Person (i) into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the corporate trust properties and assets of the Collateral Agent substantially as a whole, shall be the successor to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.

(c) Subject to the terms of this Section 11.05(c) the Administrative Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Servicer, the Equityholder, Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, remove and discharge the Collateral Agent from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents without cause at any time. If the Collateral Agent shall be removed pursuant to this Section 11.05(c), then the Administrative Agent during such thirty (30) day period shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent. The appointment of any successor Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c) shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Required Lenders. If the Collateral Agent is removed pursuant to this Section 11.05(c), the Collateral Agent shall be removed in all other capacities in which it serves under this Agreement and under any of the other Facility Documents (including in its capacity as Custodian), but not in its capacities as Administrative Agent or Lender, if applicable. Any removal of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c) shall be effective upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c) and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor. After the effectiveness of any removal of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c), the Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents (but not in its capacities as Administrative Agent or Lender, if applicable) and the provisions of this Article XII and Section 11.05(c) shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents. In the event a successor Collateral Agent shall not be appointed within such thirty (30) day period, the Collateral Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.

Section 11.06. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Collateral Agent

Any organization or entity into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any organization or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or any organization or entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Collateral Agent, shall be the successor of the Collateral Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.01. No Waiver; Modifications in Writing

(a) No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Party exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, and any consent to any departure by any party to this Agreement or any other Facility Document from the terms of any provision

of this Agreement or such other Facility Document, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower, the Servicer or the Equityholder in any case shall entitle the Borrower, the Servicer or the Equityholder to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Except for any waivers and consents that may be expressly provided by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, no amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Equityholder, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders; provided that:

(i) any Fundamental Amendment shall require the written consent of all Lenders; and

(ii) no such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator hereunder without the prior written consent of such Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable.

Section 12.02. Notices, Etc.

(a) Except where telephonic instructions are authorized herein to be given, all notices, demands, instructions and other communications required or permitted to be given to or made upon any party hereto shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by registered, certified or express mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission, or by prepaid courier service, or by electronic mail (if the recipient has provided an email address in Schedule 8) (including consents given pursuant to Section 5.2(l)), and shall be deemed to be given for purposes of this Agreement on the day that such writing is received by the intended recipient thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.02. Unless otherwise specified in a notice sent or delivered in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.02, notices, demands, instructions and other communications in writing shall be given to or made upon the respective parties hereto at their respective addresses (or to their respective facsimile numbers or email addresses) indicated in Schedule 8, and, in the case of telephonic instructions or notices, by calling the telephone number or numbers indicated for such party in Schedule 8.

(b) Each of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian and the Collateral Administrator hereby agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement sent by unsecured e-mail (or .pdf files of executed documents), facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided that any person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, an incumbency certificate listing such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If any party hereto elects to give any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, e-mail (or .pdf files of executed documents) or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method), the Collateral Agent’s, the Custodian’s or the Collateral Administrator’s understanding of such instructions actually received by any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, shall be deemed controlling in the event that such instructions are ambiguous; provided that prior to acting in response to any such instructions that it deems to be ambiguous, the Collateral Agent, Custodian or Collateral Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to contact the instructing party and obtain from such instructing party any necessary clarifications with respect to such instructions. Each of the other parties hereto understands and agrees that the none of the Collateral Agent the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator can determine the identity of the actual sender of such instructions and that the Collateral Agent the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to it have been sent by such

officer. The other parties hereto shall be responsible for ensuring that only authorized officers transmit such instructions to the Collateral Agent the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator and that each such party is solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by it. None of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator shall be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Collateral Agent’s, the Custodian’s or the Collateral Administrator’s, as applicable, reasonable, good faith reliance upon and compliance with such instructions, notwithstanding that such directions conflict with or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction, subject to the duty of care applicable to such Person acting in such capacity. Each of the other parties hereto agrees (i) to assume all risks arising out of its respective use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, including without limitation the risk of any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties, (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting instructions than the method(s) selected by it, (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances and (iv) to notify the Collateral Agent the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

Section 12.03. Taxes

(a) Any and all payments by, or on account of any obligation of, the Borrower to or for the account of any Secured Party under any Facility Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all present or future Taxes with respect thereto, unless required by Law. If the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent shall be required by Law (or by the interpretation or administration thereof) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable by it hereunder, under any Note or under any other Facility Document to any Secured Party, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 12.03) such Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no deductions of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) In addition and without duplication of any amounts payable by the Borrower under Section 12.03, the Borrower agrees to timely pay (or at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of) any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (other than Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment except for an assignment or grant of a participation made pursuant to Sections 2.16 or 12.03(g)) which arise from any payment made by the Borrower hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Facility Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes or under any other Facility Document (collectively, the “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each of the Secured Parties for (i) the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 12.03) paid by any Secured Party (or required to be deducted from payments to a Secured Party) and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising from Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant taxing Governmental

Authority. Payments by Borrower pursuant to this indemnification shall be made promptly following the date the Secured Party makes written demand therefor, which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate describing in reasonable detail the basis thereof. Such certificate shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error.

(d) Promptly after the date of any payment of Taxes pursuant to this Section 12.03 or Other Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to each Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant taxing Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof (or other evidence of payment as may be reasonably satisfactory to such Agent).

(e) If any payment is made by the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) to or for the account of any Secured Party after deduction for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, and an indemnity payment or additional amounts are paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 12.03, then, if such Secured Party in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith, determines that it is entitled to a refund of such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, such Secured Party shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice apply for such refund and reimburse the Borrower (or the Servicer, as applicable) such amount of any refund received (net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred) as such Secured Party shall determine in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith, to be attributable to the relevant Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that in the event that such Secured Party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority, the Borrower agrees to return the refund to such Secured Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will the Secured Party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place the Secured Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Secured Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.

(f) Each Secured Party and each Participant that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement or any Facility Document shall deliver to the Borrower and each Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Secured Party and each Participant, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or any Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent as will enable the Borrower or such Agent to determine whether or not such Secured Party or Participant is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in subclauses (i) through (iv) and (vi) of this Section 12.03(f)) shall not be required if in the Secured Party’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Secured Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Secured Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) Each Secured Party (other than the Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator, Custodian and Securities Intermediary) and each Participant that is a U.S. person as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code hereby agrees that it shall, no later than the Closing Date or, in the case of a Secured Party or a Participant which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 12.06, the date upon which such Secured Party becomes a party hereto or Participant herein, deliver to the Borrower and each Agent, if applicable, two accurate, complete and signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor form, certifying that such Secured Party

or Participant is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding Tax.

(ii) Each Secured Party (other than the Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator, Custodian and Securities Intermediary) or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside than the United States (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, no later than the date on which such Secured Party becomes a party hereto or such person becomes a Participant herein pursuant to Section 12.06, deliver to the Borrower and each Agent two properly completed and duly executed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, in each case (a) claiming a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax, or (b) if, due to a change in law occurring after the date such Secured Party becomes a party hereto or such person becomes a Participant herein, such Non-U.S. Lender is not entitled to a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax, to the extent that such Non-U.S. Lender is legally entitled to do so, claiming a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding Tax, in each case, with respect to payments of interest hereunder.

(iii) In addition, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Non-U.S. Lender hereby represents that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code), and such Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Agent in the event any such representation is no longer accurate.

(iv) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, the certification described in subclause (iii) of this Section 12.03(f), IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide the certification described in subclause (iii) of this Section 12.03(f) on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

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

(vi) The forms listed under this Section 12.03(f)(i)-(v) shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement or Participant herein and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender designates a New Lending Office. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender agrees that, from time to time after the Closing Date, such Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver the forms described above (or relevant successor form), as applicable, as promptly as practicable after (i) receipt of a reasonable written request therefor from the Borrower or an Agent or (ii) when a lapse in time or change in circumstance renders a previously provided form or certificate obsolete or inaccurate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.03, a

Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form after the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 12.03(f) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(vii) If a payment made to a Secured Party under this Agreement or any Facility Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Secured Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Secured Party shall deliver to the Borrower and each Agent such documentation prescribed by Law or as is reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Agent sufficient for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or an Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and an Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Secured Party has complied with such Secured Party’s applicable reporting requirements or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (vii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) If any Secured Party requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to such Secured Party or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Secured Party or to indemnify such Secured Party pursuant to this Section 12.03, then such Secured Party shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such Secured Party determines, in its sole discretion that such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 12.03 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Secured Party to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Secured Party. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Secured Party in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(h) Nothing in this Section 12.03 shall be construed to require any Secured Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(i) Each Lender shall severally indemnify each Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified such Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, as applicable, and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.06(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by such Agent in connection with any Facility Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the applicable Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes each Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Facility Document or otherwise payable by such Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to such Agent under this paragraph (j).

Section 12.04. Costs and Expenses; Indemnification

(a) The Borrower agrees to promptly pay on demand (or, during the existence of an Event of Default, on the first Payment Date to occur after such demand is made) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents in connection with the preparation, review, negotiation, reproduction, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, including the

101

reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent and one outside counsel, plus, if necessary, one additional local counsel, for the Collateral Agent, costs and expenses of creating, perfecting, releasing or enforcing the Collateral Agent’s security interests in the Collateral, including filing and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, UCC filing fees, and the equivalent thereof in any foreign jurisdiction, and all other related fees and expenses in connection therewith; and in connection with the administration and any modification or amendment of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Facility Document and advising the Agents as to their respective rights, remedies and responsibilities. The Borrower agrees to promptly pay on demand (or, during the existence of an Event of Default, on the first Payment Date to occur after such demand is made) all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of each of the Secured Parties in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Facility Document, including all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preservation, collection, foreclosure or enforcement of the Collateral subject to the Facility Documents or any interest, right, power or remedy of the Collateral Agent or the Custodian in connection with the collection or enforcement of any of the Obligations or the proof, protection, administration or resolution of any claim based upon the Obligations in any insolvency proceeding, including all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, accountants, auditors, consultants, appraisers and other professionals engaged by the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator. Without prejudice to its rights hereunder, the expenses and the compensation for the services of the Secured Parties are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy law.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, managers of, and any Person controlling any of, the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Liabilities that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, administration of or otherwise arising out of or incurred in connection with this Agreement, any other Facility Document, any Related Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (and regardless of whether or not any such transactions are consummated), including (but not limited to) any such Liability that is incurred or arises out of or in connection with, or by reason of any one or more of the following: (i) preparation for a defense of any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with this Agreement, any other Facility Document, any Related Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) any breach or alleged breach of any covenant by the Borrower contained in any Facility Document; (iii) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower contained in any Facility Document or in any certificate, statement or report delivered in connection therewith is, or is alleged to be, false or misleading; (iv) any failure by the Borrower to comply with any Applicable Law or contractual obligation binding upon it; (v) any failure to vest, or delay in vesting, in the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) a perfected security interest in all of the Collateral free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens); (vi) any action or omission, not expressly authorized by the Facility Documents, by the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower which has the effect of impairing the validity or enforceability of the Collateral or the rights of the Agents or the other Secured Parties with respect thereto; (vii) the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing statements, continuation statements or the equivalent thereof in any foreign jurisdiction or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other Applicable Law with respect to any Collateral, whether at the time of any Advance or at any subsequent time; (viii) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than the discharge in bankruptcy of an Obligor) of an Obligor to the payment with respect to any Collateral (including a defense based on any Collateral Loan (or the Related Documents evidencing such Collateral Loan) not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent such unenforceability is due to the bankruptcy of such Obligor), or any other claim resulting from any related property securing such Collateral Loan; (ix) the commingling of Collections on the Collateral at any time with other funds; (x) any failure by the Borrower to give reasonably

102

equivalent value to the applicable seller, in consideration for the transfer by such seller to the Borrower of any item of Collateral or any attempt by any Person to void or otherwise avoid any such transfer under any statutory provision or common law or equitable action, including any provision of the Bankruptcy Code; (xi) the failure of the Borrower, the Servicer or any of their respective agents or representatives to remit to the Collection Account, within one (1) Business Day of receipt, Collections on the Collateral Loans remitted to the Borrower, the Servicer or any such agent or representative as provided in this Agreement; and (xii) any Default or Event of Default; in each case, except (A) to the extent any such Liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, any of its Affiliates or the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, managers of, and any Person controlling any of, the foregoing, (B) to the extent any such Liability results from a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnified Party (other than the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator) for material breach of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Facility Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final, nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (C) to the extent any such Liability results from a claim solely between or among Indemnified Parties (other than any claims against an Indemnified Party in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Custodian, Collateral Administrator or any similar role) and not arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Borrower or the Servicer or its Affiliates. In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s equityholders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party hereto. The Borrower shall not have any liability hereunder to any Indemnified Party to the extent an Indemnified Party effects any settlement of a matter that is (or could be) subject to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Borrower, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment to the extent set forth in this Section 12.04(b). The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party (or, in the case of a threatened proceeding, could reasonably have been expected to be a party if such proceeding had been brought) and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (i) does not include a statement as to or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any such Indemnified Party, and (ii) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. In no case shall the Borrower be responsible for any Indemnified Party’s lost revenues or lost profits. This Section 12.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

Section 12.05. Execution in Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

Section 12.06. Assignability

(a) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 12.06, each Lender may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, assign to any Person all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Advances Outstanding or interests therein owned by it, together with ratable portions of its Commitment); provided that such consent shall be deemed

103

to have been granted by the Borrower if the Borrower shall not have objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of any such request for consent; and provided, further, that:

(i) each of the Borrower’s and the Administrative Agent’s consent to any such assignment (A) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (B) shall not be required if the assignee is (1) a Lender or any of its Affiliates or (2) managed by a Lender or any of its Affiliates;

(ii) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender may make an assignment to any Person without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent if such Lender makes a reasonable determination that its ownership of any of its rights or obligations hereunder is prohibited by Applicable Law (including, without limitation, the Volcker Rule); and

(iii) the Borrower’s consent to any such assignment pursuant to this Section 12.06(a) shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) an Assignment and Acceptance and the applicable tax forms required by Sections 12.03(f) and 12.03(h), together with administrative details for the applicable assignee (if such assignee is not a current Lender or an Affiliate of Citibank, N.A.). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.06, (x) no assignment by any Lender to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates shall be permitted, and (y) no assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender, a natural person or any Person that, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (y).

(b) The Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to Participants in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Borrower, the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (D) each Participant shall have agreed to be bound by this Section 12.06(c), Section 12.06(e), Section 12.09 and Section 12.16. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any Fundamental Amendment. Sections 2.09, 2.10, and 12.03 shall apply to each Participant as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (a) of this Section; provided that (x) such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.16, 12.03(f) and 12.03(h) as if it were an assignee under clause (a) of this Section and (y) no Participant shall be entitled to any amount under Section 2.09, 2.10, or 12.03 which is greater than the amount the related Lender would have been entitled to under any such Sections or provisions if the applicable participation had not occurred.

(ii) In the event that any Lender sells participations in any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender as nonfiduciary agent for the Borrower shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Advances held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Advance which is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). An Advance may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each Note, if any, shall expressly

104

so provide). The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower to the extent necessary for the Borrower to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1 of the United States Treasury Regulations or for the Borrower, any Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian or the Securities Intermediary to satisfy any information reporting requirement with respect to payments made to such Participant. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of and acting solely for this purpose as the nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address specified in Section 12.02 or such other address as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Lenders, a copy of this Agreement and each signature page hereto and each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names, addresses and wiring instructions of the Lenders and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances Outstanding maintained by each Lender under this Agreement (and any stated interest thereon). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. An Advance (and a Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each Note, if any, shall expressly so provide) and compliance with this Section 12.06.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Facility Document, each Lender hereunder, and each Participant, must at all times be a “qualified purchaser” as defined in the Investment Company Act (a “Qualified Purchaser”) and a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “QIB”). Each Lender represents to the Borrower, (i) on the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (whether by being a signatory hereto or by entering into an Assignment and Acceptance) and (ii) on each date on which it makes an Advance hereunder, that it is a Qualified Purchaser and a QIB. Each Lender further agrees that it shall not assign, or grant any participations in, any of its Advances or its Commitment to any Person unless such Person is a Qualified Purchaser and a QIB.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.06, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or security interest granted to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(b) Register. The Custodian shall maintain a register (in book-entry form or in such other form as it shall deem necessary or desirable) of the Collateral Loans for which it holds Loan Files under this Agreement containing such information as the Borrower and the Custodian may reasonably agree; provided that, with respect to such Collateral Loans, all Loan Files shall be held in safekeeping by the Custodian, individually segregated from the securities and investments of any other Person and marked so as to clearly identify such Loan Files as the property of the Borrower as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 13.03. Delivery of Collateral Loans to Custodian.

(a) The Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) shall deliver, or cause to be delivered (which may be via email) promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of receipt) to the Custodian all of the Loan Files for each Collateral Loan owned by the Borrower at any time during the term of this Agreement at the address identified herein. The Custodian shall not be responsible for any Collateral Loan or related Loan File until actually received by it. In connection with each delivery of a Loan File to the Custodian, the Borrower shall represent and warrant that the Loan Files delivered to the Custodian include all of the documents listed in the related Document Checklist and all of such documents and the information contained in any applicable Trade Confirmation (if any) are complete in all material respects.

(b) (i) Promptly after the acquisition of any Collateral Loan, the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) shall deliver or cause to be delivered (which may be via email) to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent a properly completed Trade Confirmation, if any, on which they may conclusively rely without further inquiry or investigation, and shall deliver to the Custodian the Loan Files for all

110

Collateral Loans; provided, however, that all documents shall be transmitted in electronic format and the Custodian shall only be required to retain the original promissory note, if any, indicated on the related Document Checklist.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, delivery of the Collateral Loans acquired by the Borrower which constitute Noteless Loans or which are otherwise not evidenced by a “security” or “instrument” as defined in Section 8-102 and Section 9-102(a)(47) of the UCC, respectively, shall be made by delivery to the Custodian of a copy of the loan register with respect to such Noteless Loan evidencing registration of such Collateral Loan on the books and records of the applicable Obligor or bank agent to the name of the Borrower (or its nominee) or a copy (which may be a facsimile copy) of an assignment agreement in favor of the Borrower as assignee. Any duty on the part of the Custodian with respect to the custody of such Collateral Loans shall be limited to the exercise of reasonable care by the Custodian in the physical custody of the related Loan Files delivered to it.

(iii) The Custodian may assume the genuineness of any document in a Loan File it may receive and the genuineness and due authority of any signatures appearing thereon, and shall be entitled to assume that each document it may receive is what it purports to be on its face. If an original “security” or “instrument” as defined in Section 8-102 and Section 9-102(a)(47) of the UCC, respectively, is or shall be or become available with respect to any Collateral Loan to be held by the Custodian under this Agreement, it shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrower to make or cause delivery thereof to the Custodian, and the Custodian shall not be under any obligation at any time to determine whether any such original “security” or “instrument” has been or is required to be issued or made available in respect of any Collateral Loan or to compel or cause delivery thereof to the Custodian.

(b) Upon receipt by the Custodian from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, of written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default indicating the Administrative Agent’s intent to prohibit the Custodian from accepting instructions from or on behalf of the Borrower (each such notice, a “Block Notice”), the Custodian shall no longer accept or act upon Proper Instructions or other instructions from the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) hereunder with respect to the Collateral Loans or the Loan Files. From and after its receipt of a Block Notice, the Custodian shall only comply with Proper Instructions from the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Administrative Agent) or Administrative Agent.

Section 13.05. Records.

The Custodian shall create and maintain complete and accurate records relating to its activities under this Agreement with respect to the Collateral Loans or other property of the Borrower held for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties under this Agreement.

(b) Resolution of Discrepancies. In the event of any discrepancy between the information set forth in any report provided by the Custodian to the Borrower and any information contained in the books or records of the Borrower, the Borrower (or the Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower) shall promptly notify the Custodian thereof and the parties shall cooperate to diligently resolve the discrepancy.

(c) Improper Instructions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Custodian shall not be obligated to take any action (or forebear from taking any action), which it reasonably determines to be contrary to the terms of this Agreement or Applicable Law.

(i) the authority of any Person to act in accordance with such certificate; or

(ii) any determination or of any action by such Person as described in such certificate,

and such certificate may be considered as in full force and effect until receipt by the Custodian of written notice to the contrary from an Authorized Person of the Borrower, the Servicer or Administrative Agent, as applicable.

Any communication received by the Custodian on a day which is not a Business Day or after 3:30 p.m. (or such other time as is agreed by the Borrower and the Custodian from time to time) on a Business Day will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day; provided that in the case of communications so received after 3:30 p.m. on a Business Day the Custodian will use its commercially reasonable efforts to process such communications as soon as possible after receipt.

(h) In the event that (i) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Servicer, the Custodian or the Collateral Agent shall be served by a third party with any type of levy, attachment, writ or court order with respect to any Loan File or a document included within a Loan File or (ii) a third party shall institute any court proceeding by which any Loan File or a document included within a Loan File shall be required to be delivered other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the party receiving such service shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the other parties to this Agreement (to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law) copies of all court papers, orders, documents and other materials concerning such proceedings. The Custodian shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to hold and maintain all the Loan Files that are the subject of such proceedings pending a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction permitting or directing disposition thereof. Upon final determination of such court, the Custodian shall dispose of such Loan File or a document included within such Loan File as directed by the Administrative Agent, which shall give a direction consistent with such determination. Expenses of the Custodian incurred as a result of such proceedings shall be borne by the Borrower.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Servicer its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, to sign, execute, certify, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file, receive and record any and all documents which the Servicer reasonably deems appropriate or necessary in connection with the performance of its duties provided for herein.

Section 14.04. Realization Upon Collateral Loans

The Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard, this Agreement and the Related Documents to exercise (on behalf of the Borrower) available remedies (which may include liquidating, foreclosing upon or repossessing, as applicable, or otherwise comparably converting the ownership of any related property) with respect to any Collateral Loan. The Servicer will comply with the Servicing Standard, this Agreement, the Related Documents and Applicable Law in realizing upon such related property, and employ practices and procedures, including reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, this Agreement and the Related Documents, to enforce all obligations of Obligors. The Servicer will remit to the Collection Account the recoveries received in connection with the sale or disposition of related property relating to any Collateral Loan hereunder.

Section 14.05. Compensation

As compensation for its administrative and management activities hereunder, the Servicer or its designee shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee pursuant to the Priority of Payments.

The Servicer may, in its sole discretion, elect to irrevocably waive payment of any or all of any Servicing Fee otherwise due on any Payment Date by reflecting such waiver in the applicable Payment Date Report. Any such Servicing Fee, once waived, shall not thereafter become due and payable and any claim of the Servicer therein shall be extinguished.

The Servicer may, in its sole discretion, elect to defer payment of all or a portion of the Servicing Fee on any Payment Date by providing written notice to the Collateral Agent of such election no later than the Determination Date immediately prior to such Payment Date. The Servicer may elect to receive payment of all or any portion of the deferred Servicing Fee on any Payment Date to the extent of funds available to pay such amounts in accordance with the Priority of Payments by providing notice to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent of such election and the amount of such fees to be paid on or before three (3) Business Days preceding such Payment Date.

If and to the extent that there are insufficient funds to pay any Servicing Fee in full on any Payment Date or if any Servicing Fee has accrued but is not yet due and payable, the amount due or accrued and unpaid will be deferred and will be payable on such later Payment Date on which funds are available in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 14.06. Expense Reimbursement; Indemnification

(a) The Servicer will be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement, including fees and disbursements of its independent accountants, Taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with payments and reports pursuant to this Agreement, and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement for the account of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 14.06 shall prohibit the Borrower from reimbursing the Servicer for expenses incurred by it hereunder provided such amounts are paid from amounts permitted to be released under this Agreement to the Servicer.

(b) The Servicer, in its capacity as such, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Borrower, Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as the Administrative Agent and a Lender, and each of their respective Affiliates and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, managers of, and any Person controlling any of, the foregoing (each, a “Servicer Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Liabilities that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against such Servicer Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with any acts or omissions of the Servicer hereunder constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance, or reckless disregard, of the duties of the Servicer hereunder, except to the extent any such Liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (A) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Servicer Indemnified Party, any of its Affiliates or the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, managers of, and any Person controlling any of, the foregoing or any other party hereto or to any other Facility Document or (B) a material breach by such Servicer Indemnified Party or any other party hereto or to any other Facility Document of its obligations hereunder or under any other Facility Document.

Section 14.07. The Servicer Not to Resign; Assignment; Servicing Default

(a) The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon the Servicer’s determination that the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Lender.

121

No such resignation shall become effective until a Successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 14.08.

(b) The Servicer may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders other than (i) to an Affiliate thereof that is reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders, (ii) to a Person that becomes a successor or assignee Servicer hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof or (iii) in accordance with Section 14.01(b)).

(c) Upon the occurrence of a Servicing Default or an Event of Default, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Equityholder as “Servicer” under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall appoint a successor Servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), which, for the avoidance of doubt may be the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. Until a successor Servicer is appointed as set forth above, the Equityholder shall (i) unless otherwise notified by the Administrative Agent, continue to act in such capacity in accordance with Section 14.02 and (ii) as requested by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (A) terminate some or all of its activities as Servicer hereunder by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as necessary or desirable, (B) provide such information as may be requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any agent thereof and (C) take all other actions requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, in each case to facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any agent thereof.

Section 14.08. Appointment of Successor Servicer

(a) Upon resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 14.07, the Equityholder shall propose a Successor Servicer, which, for the avoidance of doubt may be the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and such Successor Servicer shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Until a successor Servicer is appointed as set forth above, the Equityholder shall (i) unless otherwise notified by the Administrative Agent, continue to act in such capacity in accordance with Section 14.02 and (ii) as requested by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (A) terminate some or all of its activities as Servicer hereunder by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as necessary or desirable, (B) provide such information as may be requested by the Administrative Agent to facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the Administrative Agent or any agent thereof and (C) take all other actions requested by the Administrative Agent, in each case to facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the Administrative Agent or any agent thereof.

(b) Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Equityholder with respect to collateral management functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer; provided that the Successor Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to any action performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the Successor Servicer becomes the successor to the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer, (ii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Equityholder; provided that the Successor Servicer shall pay any income taxes for which it is liable, (iii) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iv) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer, including the original Servicer.

122

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, a Successor Servicer is authorized to accept and rely on all of the accounting, records (including computer records) and work of the prior Servicer relating to the Collateral Loans (collectively, the “Predecessor Servicer Work Product”) without any audit or other examination thereof, and such Successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of the prior Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, “Errors”) exist in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Errors make it materially more difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to the Successor Servicer making or continuing any Errors (collectively, “Continued Errors”), such Successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for such Continued Errors; provided that such Successor Servicer agrees to use its best efforts to prevent further Continued Errors. In the event that the Successor Servicer becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, it shall, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future Continued Errors.

The Servicer shall review and verify the contents of the aforesaid reports.

The Collateral Administrator shall cooperate with the Servicer in connection with the Servicer’s review of the contents of the aforesaid reports, instruction and certificates and will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such items to the Servicer within a reasonably sufficient time (as agreed between the Servicer and the Collateral Administrator) prior to any applicable due date to enable such review.

(e) The Collateral Administrator shall have no obligation to determine the price of any Collateral in connection with any actions or duties under this Agreement (except as provided in Section 15.02). Nothing herein shall prevent the Collateral Administrator or any of its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or from rendering services of any kind to any Person.

The Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for failing to perform or any delay in performing its specified duties hereunder which results from or is caused by a failure or delay on the part of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Custodian (but only if not the same Person as the Collateral Administrator) or any other Person in furnishing necessary, timely and accurate information to the Collateral Administrator.

125
