The proceeds of the Advances will be used to finance the Borrower’s purchase of Eligible Loan Assets from the Seller or directly from third parties meeting the Eligibility Criteria described on Exhibits A attached hereto (any, an “Eligible Loan Asset” and collectively, the Borrower’s “Collateral Portfolio”). All purchases will be made with representations and warranties by the Collateral Manager and purchases from the Sellers shall be done on a “true sale” basis.
     
   
During the Reinvestment Period, the Facility shall be revolving in nature and accordingly Advances prepaid or repaid (e.g., due to the repayment, redemption or permitted sale of an Eligible Loan Asset) may be re-borrowed to finance the acquisition of other Eligible Loan Assets. The “Reinvestment Period” shall commence on the Closing Date and end on the earliest to occur of (i) the third (3rd) anniversary from the Closing Date, (ii) an Event of Default occurs, or (iii) the voluntary termination of the Facility by the Borrower. After the Reinvestment Period, all Principal Collections shall be used to repay the outstanding Advances until paid in full.
     
   
During the term of the Transaction, the Borrower will not be permitted to grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer, assign or encumber, all or any portion of its interests in the Portfolio Assets, except in accordance with this Term Sheet and the Facility Agreement.
     
Maximum Facility Amount:
 
[$175,000,000]; provided, however, after the Reinvestment Period, the Maximum Facility Amount shall equal the Advances outstanding.
     
Closing Date:
 
[TBD] (the “Closing Date”).

 
 

 

 
Any day other than Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which banks in New York, New York or London, England are required or authorized to be closed.
     
Applicable Percentage:
 
65% for first lien loans and 50-65% for uni-tranche loans as assigned by the Lender in its sole discretion.
     
Interest Rate:
 
The “Interest Rate” shall be equal to the sum of (i) LIBOR and (ii) the Applicable Spread. The Interest Rate will be calculated by application of the sum of LIBOR and the Applicable Spread to the Advances outstanding on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the Interest Accrual Period. The Interest Rate under the Facility Agreement shall be payable quarterly on the Payment Date.
     
Applicable Spread:
 
[3.00]% per annum; provided that at any time after an Event of Default, the Applicable Spread shall be [4.50]%.
     
Maturity Date:
 
All Advances outstanding and not previously repaid, together with all other amounts due and payable to Lender under the Transaction Documentation shall be due and payable on the five year anniversary of the Closing Date.
     
Payment Date:
 
The “Payment Date” shall mean the [    ]th calendar day of each [month/quarter], unless such day is not a Business Day, in which case, the following Business Day.
     
Determination Date:
 
The Determination Date with respect to each Payment Date will be the [X]th (xth) Business Day after month end.
     
Facility Drawdown:
 
The Facility may be drawn down during the Reinvestment Period with (1) Business Day notice; provided, however, that during the term of the Facility the Borrower will have the ability to draw down up to $25 million on a same day basis so long as the borrowing request had been received by 2pm that day.
     
   
Subject to the other terms and conditions of the Facility, the Borrower may borrow, and the Lender will lend, a principal amount up to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Facility Amount as defined above (and giving effect to the addition to the Collateral Portfolio of any Eligible Loan Assets being acquired by the Borrower using the proceeds of such borrowing) and (ii) the Borrowing Base.
     
Adjusted Borrowing Value:
 
For any date of determination, and for any Eligible Loan Asset, an amount equal to the lowest of the outstanding principal balance of such Eligible Loan Asset, the Advance Date Assigned Value of such Eligible Loan Asset, and the Assigned Value for such Eligible Loan Asset. For the avoidance of doubt, no accrued or PIK interest shall be included in the principal balance of an Eligible Loan Asset.
     
   
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Adjusted Borrowing Value of any Eligible Loan Asset that no longer satisfies the Eligibility Criteria set forth on Exhibit A hereto shall be zero.
     
Advance Date Assigned Value:
 
With respect to any Eligible Loan Asset, the lower of the purchase price paid by the Borrower to acquire such Eligible Loan Asset (expressed exclusive of accrued interest) or the value assigned by the Lender in its sole discretion.
     
Assigned Value:
 
Assigned Value” shall mean the value assigned by the Lender in its sole discretion as of the Closing Date and amended by Lender in its sole discretion at anytime following an Assigned Value Adjustment Event, provided, however, that the Assigned Value of any Priced Loan shall not be less than the quoted price (quoted by a nationally recognized service selected by the Lender). In the event the Borrower disagrees with the Lender’s determination of the Assigned Value of an Eligible Loan, the Borrower may (at its expense) retain a nationally recognized valuation firm to value such Eligible Loan and if such firm’s value is higher than the Lender’s, such firm’s valuation shall be the Assigned Value of such Eligible Loan Asset. The Borrower may request that the Assigned Value be re-evaluated for any Eligible Loan Asset whose Assigned Value was decreased due to the occurrence of an Assigned Value Adjustment Event once the Net Leverage Ratio or Cash Interest Coverage Ratio that gave rise to the decrease in Assigned Value has improved, provided that such Assigned Value may not increase above the purchase price paid by the Borrower to acquire such Eligible Loan Asset.

 
 

 
 
Assigned Value Adjustment Event:
 
“Assigned Value Adjustment Event” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following: (i) credit quality deterioration, as measured by changes in Cash Interest Coverage and Net Leverage ratios, (ii) an obligor payment default, (iii) any obligor default has occurred for which the Borrower (or the agent or required lenders pursuant to the underlying loan documents, as applicable) has elected to exercise any of its rights and remedies under the applicable loan documents in the case of default thereunder (including acceleration), (iv) the Borrower enters into a Material Modification with respect to the Eligible Loan Asset, or (v) an obligor bankruptcy. Assigned Value is zero if (ii), (iv) (solely pursuant to a Material Modification pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof) or (v) occur.
     
   
Regarding (i) above, once the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio (EBITDA/Interest) of a particular Eligible Loan Asset (i) declines to 85% of the ratio calculated/reported at the time the asset is contributed and (ii) is less than 150% or the Net Leverage Ratio (Debt – Unrestricted Cash / EBITDA) (i) increases by 0.50x as compared to the Net Leverage Ratio calculated at the time the asset is contributed and (ii) is greater than 3.50x, an Assigned Value Adjustment Event is triggered and the Eligible Loan Asset can be revalued.
     
Material Modification:
 
“Material Modification” shall mean any amendment or waiver of, or modification or supplement to, a loan agreement governing an Eligible Loan Asset executed or effected on or after the cut-off date for such Eligible Loan Asset which:
     
   
(a)          Reduces or forgives any of all of the principal amount due under such Eligible Loan Asset (under which case, the Assigned Value shall be zero);
     
   
(b)          waives one or more interest payments, permits any interest due in cash to be deferred or capitalized and added to the principal amount of such Loan Asset (other than any deferral or capitalization already allowed by the terms of the Loan Agreement of any PIK Loan Asset), or reduces the amount of interest due when the Cash Interest Coverage Ratio is less than 150% (prior to giving effect to such reduction in interest expense);
     
   
(c)          contractually or structurally subordinates such Loan Asset by operation of a priority of payments, turnover provisions, the transfer of assets in order to limit recourse to the related Obligor or the granting of Liens (other than Permitted Liens) on any of the underlying collateral securing such Loan Asset;
     
   
(d)          substitutes, alters or releases the underlying collateral securing such Loan Asset and any such substitution, alteration or release, as determined in the sole reasonable discretion of the Lender, materially and adversely affects the value of such Eligible Loan Asset;

 
 

 

   
(e)          amends, waives, forbears, supplements or otherwise modifies (i) the meaning of “net leverage ratio” or “cash interest coverage ratio” or any respective comparable definitions in the loan agreement for such Eligible Loan Asset or (ii) any term or provision of such loan agreement referenced in or utilized in the calculation of the “net leverage ratio” or “cash interest coverage ratio” or any respective comparable definitions for such Loan Asset, in either case in a manner that, in the sole discretion of the Lender, is materially adverse to the Lender.
     
Borrowing Base:
 
On any date of determination, an amount equal to the lesser of:
     
   
(i)
the aggregate sum of the products of (x) the Applicable Percentage for each Eligible Loan Asset as of such date, and (y) the Adjusted Borrowing Value of such Eligible Loan Asset as of such date, plus (b) the amount on deposit in the Principal Collection Account minus (c) the Unfunded Exposure Equity Amount plus (d) amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account.
       
   
(ii)
(a) the Adjusted Borrowing Value of such Eligible Loan Asset as of such date, minus (b) the Minimum Equity Amount, plus (b) the amount on deposit in the Principal Collection Account minus (c) the Unfunded Exposure Equity Amount plus (d) amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account.
       
   
(iii)
(a) The Maximum Facility Amount minus (b) the Unfunded Exposure Amount plus (c) amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account.
     
   
This Borrowing Base calculation will be used in the Borrowing Base Certificate to be delivered with each request for Advance as well as the date upon which an Assigned Value for any Eligible Loan is changed (the Borrowing Base will only be modified by the Assigned Value change of the applicable Eligible Loan).
     
Minimum Equity Amount:
 
$[60] million.
     
Unfunded Exposure Equity Amount:
 
On any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the aggregate sum of the products of (a) the Unfunded Exposure Amount for each Eligible Loan Asset multiplied by (b) the difference of 100% minus the Applicable Percentage for each Eligible Loan Asset constituting the Unfunded Exposure Amount plus (ii) the aggregate sum of the products of (a) any Assigned Value reductions associated with the Unfunded Exposure Amount multiplied by (b) the Applicable Percentage for those Eligible Loan Assets.
     
Unfunded Exposure Amount:
 
On any date of determination, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all unfunded commitments associated with the Eligible Loan Assets.
     
Unfunded Exposure Account:
 
On the last day of the Reinvestment Period, the Borrower shall fund an amount equal to the Unfunded Exposure Amount into the Unfunded Exposure Account. All funding requests associated with the Unfunded Exposure Amount shall be made from the Unfunded Exposure Account thereafter.
     
Borrowing Base Deficiency:
 
As of any date of determination, if the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding exceed the Borrowing Base, then a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, and Borrower shall have three (3) Business Days to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency in its entirety by effecting one or more of the following actions in order to eliminate such condition as of such date of determination: (1) deposit USD cash into the Collection Account in the amount necessary to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency, (2) repay Advances in the amount necessary to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency, or (3) pledge additional Eligible Loan Assets in the amount necessary to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency by any combination of (1), (2) or (3) of this provision.
