Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 23, 2015, WhiteHorse Finance, Inc.’s (the “Company”) newly formed, wholly owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, WhiteHorse Finance Credit I, LLC (“WhiteHorse Credit”), entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) pursuant to a Loan Agreement with the Company, as the portfolio manager, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMorgan”), as administrative agent and lender, together with any additional lenders from time to time party thereto, and the collateral administrator, collateral agent and securities intermediary party thereto (the “Loan Agreement”). WhiteHorse Credit’s obligations to JPMorgan under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of WhiteHorse Credit, including its portfolio of loans. The obligations of WhiteHorse Credit under the Credit Facility are non-recourse to the Company. The Credit Facility paid off and refinanced a secured revolving credit facility between WhiteHorse Finance Warehouse, LLC, as borrower (“WhiteHorse Warehouse”), and Natixis, New York Branch, acting as facility agent.

The Credit Facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount up to $200 million with an accordion feature which allows for the expansion of the borrowing limit up to $220 million, subject to consent from the lender and other customary conditions. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to compliance with a net asset value coverage ratio with respect to the value of WhiteHorse Credit’s portfolio and various eligibility criteria must be satisfied with respect to the acquisition of each loan in WhiteHorse Credit’s portfolio. Any amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on December 23, 2019.

Advances under the Credit Facility are based on the one month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an annual spread of 2.90%. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. WhiteHorse Credit is required to pay a non-usage fee which will accrue at 0.50% per annum through September 22, 2016, and at 1.00% per annum thereafter, on the average daily unused amount of the financing commitments to the extent the aggregate principal amount available under the Credit Facility has not been borrowed. The non-usage fee is waived through September 22, 2016 while borrowings under the Credit Facility exceed $100 million. WhiteHorse Credit also paid an upfront fee and incurred certain other customary costs and expenses in connection with obtaining the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility and the related documents require the Company and WhiteHorse Credit to, among other things, agree to make certain customary representations and to comply with customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Credit Facility also includes customary events of default for credit facilities of this nature, including breaches of representations, warranties or covenants by the Company or WhiteHorse Credit, the occurrence of a change in control, failure to maintain certain ratios required under the Credit Facility.

Borrowings of WhiteHorse Credit will be considered borrowings of the Company for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, applicable to business development companies.

The description above is only a summary of the material provisions of the Loan Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy of the Loan Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Portfolio Manager and the Company (including via e-mail or other customary electronic messaging system) of its approval or failure to approve each Portfolio Investment proposed to be acquired pursuant to a Notice of Acquisition (and, if approved, an initial determination of the Market Value for such Portfolio Investment) no later than the fifth (5^th) Agent Business Day succeeding the date on which it receives such Notice of Acquisition and any information reasonably requested in connection therewith); provided that any Initial Portfolio Investment shall be deemed to be approved by the Administrative Agent. The failure of the Administrative Agent to approve the acquisition of a Portfolio Investment will not prohibit the Company from acquiring such Portfolio Investment (subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1.03); provided, that any Portfolio Investment not so approved prior to its Trade Date or Substitution Date (each as defined below) shall be deemed to be an Ineligible Investment until such later date (if any) on which such Portfolio Investment is so approved.

SECTION 1.03. Conditions to Purchases or Substitutions. No Purchase Commitment, Purchase or Substitution shall be entered into unless each of the following conditions is satisfied (or waived as provided below) as of the date on which such Purchase Commitment is entered into (such Portfolio Investment's "Trade Date") or the Company consummates a Substitution (the "Substitution Date") (and such Portfolio Investment shall not be Purchased or Substituted, and any related Financing shall not be required to be made available to the Company by the applicable Financing Providers, unless each of the following conditions is satisfied or waived as of such Trade Date or Substitution Date, as applicable):

(1)         the information contained in the Notice of Acquisition accurately describes, in all material respects, such Portfolio Investment and, unless waived by the Administrative Agent, such Portfolio Investment satisfies the eligibility criteria set forth in Schedule 3 (the "Eligibility Criteria");

(2)         with respect to a Purchase, the proposed Settlement Date for such Portfolio Investment is not later than (i) in the case of a Loan, the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days (or such longer period of time agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) after such Trade Date or (ii) in the case of any other Portfolio Investment, the date that is four (4) Business Days (or such longer period of time agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) after such Trade Date;

(3)         no Market Value Event has occurred and no Event of Default or event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default (a "Default"), in each case, has occurred and is continuing, and the Reinvestment Period has not otherwise ended; and

(4)         after giving pro forma effect to the Purchase or Substitution of such Portfolio Investment and the related provision of Financing (if any) hereunder:

(w)        the Borrowing Base Test is satisfied;

(x)          the Concentration Limitations (as defined on Schedule 4) shall be satisfied or, if not satisfied immediately prior to such Purchase Commitment, maintained or improved;

- 18 -

(y)         the aggregate principal balance of Advances then outstanding will not exceed, for each type of Financing available hereunder, the limit for such type of Financing set forth in the Transaction Schedule; and

(z)          in the case of a Purchase, the amount of such Financing (if any) shall be not less than U.S.$2,000,000; provided that the initial Financing shall be not less than U.S.$100,000,000.

The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Financing Providers, may waive any conditions to a Purchase Commitment, Purchase or Substitution, as the case may be, specified above in this Section 1.03 by written notice thereof to the Company, the Collateral Administrator, the Portfolio Manager and the Collateral Agent.

If the above conditions to a Purchase are satisfied or waived, the Portfolio Manager shall determine, in consultation with the Administrative Agent and with notice to any applicable Financing Providers and the Collateral Administrator, the date on which such Purchase shall settle (the "Settlement Date" for such Portfolio Investment) and any related Financing shall be provided.

SECTION 1.04. Sales of Portfolio Investments. The Company will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Portfolio Investment or any other asset without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Financing Providers), except that, subject to Section 6.02(x), the Company may sell any Portfolio Investment (including any Ineligible Investment) or other asset so long as, (x) after giving effect thereto, no Market Value Event has occurred and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) the sale of such asset by the Company shall be on an arm's-length basis and in accordance with the Portfolio Manager's standard market practices.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to this Section 1.04): (i) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, neither the Company nor the Portfolio Manager on its behalf shall have any right to cause the sale, transfer or other disposition of a Portfolio Investment or any other asset (including, without limitation, the transfer of amounts on deposit in the Accounts) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), (ii) following the occurrence of a Market Value Event, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell Portfolio Investments (individually or in lots, including a lot comprised of all of the Portfolio Investments) at the sole direction of, and in the manner (including, without limitation, the time of sale, sale price, principal amount to be sold and purchaser) required by the Administrative Agent (provided that the Administrative Agent shall only require sales at the direction of the Required Financing Providers and at then-current fair market values and in accordance with the Administrative Agent's standard market practices) and the proceeds from such sales shall be used to prepay the Advances outstanding hereunder and (iii) following the occurrence of a Market Value Event, the Portfolio Manager shall have no right to act on behalf of, or otherwise direct, the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other person in connection with a sale of Portfolio Investments pursuant to any provision of this Agreement except with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (including via email). Any prepayments made pursuant to this paragraph shall automatically reduce the Financing Commitments as provided in Section 4.07(c).

In connection with any sale of Portfolio Investments required by the Administrative Agent following the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Market Value Event, in connection with such sale, the Administrative Agent or a designee of the Administrative Agent shall:

- 19 -

(i)          notify the Company at the Designated Email Notification Address promptly upon distribution of bid solicitations regarding the sale of such Portfolio Investments; and

(ii)         direct the Company to sell such Portfolio Investments to the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer if the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer provides the highest bid in the case where bids are received in respect of the sale of such Portfolio Investments, it being understood that if the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer provides a bid to the Administrative Agent that is the highest bona fide bid to purchase a Portfolio Investment on a line-item basis where such Portfolio Investment is part of a pool of Portfolio Investments for which there is a bona fide bid on a pool basis proposed to be accepted by the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion), then the Administrative Agent shall accept any such line-item bid only if such line-item bid (together with any other line-item bids by the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer or any other bidder for other Portfolio Investments in such pool) is greater than the bid on a pool basis.

For purposes of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to disregard as invalid any bid submitted by the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer if, in the Administrative Agent's judgment (acting reasonably):

(A)         either:

(x)          the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer is ineligible to accept assignment or transfer of the relevant Portfolio Investments or any portion thereof, as applicable, substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for the relevant Portfolio Investments; or

(y)          the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer would not, through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts, be able to obtain any consent required under any agreement or instrument governing or otherwise relating to the relevant Portfolio Investments to the assignment or transfer of the relevant Portfolio Investments or any portion thereof, as applicable, to it; or

(B)         such bid is not bona fide, including, without limitation, due to (x) the insolvency of the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer or (y) the inability, failure or refusal of the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer to settle the purchase of the relevant Portfolio Investments or any portion thereof, as applicable, or otherwise settle transactions in the relevant market or perform its obligations generally.

In connection with any sale of a Portfolio Investment directed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 1.04 and the application of the net proceeds thereof, the Company hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as the Company's attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of the Company by this appointment), with full authority in the place and stead of the Company and in the name of the Company to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.04 (including, without limitation, the power to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent or the Required Financing Providers may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 1.04 or any direction or notice to the Collateral Agent in respect to the application of net proceeds of any such sales). None of the Administrative Agent, the Financing Providers, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Agent nor any Affiliate of any thereof shall incur any liability to the Company, the Portfolio Manager or any other person in connection with any sale effected at the direction of the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 1.04, including, without limitation, as a result of the price obtained for any Portfolio Investment, the timing of any sale or sales of Portfolio Investments or the notice or lack of notice provided to any person in connection with any such sale, so long as, in the case of the Administrative Agent only, any such sale does not violate applicable law.

- 20 -

SECTION 1.05. Substitution.

During the Reinvestment Period, the Company may replace a Portfolio Investment with another Portfolio Investment (each such replacement, a "Substitution" and such new Portfolio Investment, a "Substitute Portfolio Investment") so long as the Company has submitted a Notice of Acquisition and all applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 1.02(c) and Section 1.03 have been satisfied with respect to each Substitute Portfolio Investment to be acquired by the Company in connection with such Substitution.

SECTION 1.06. Certain Assumptions relating to Portfolio Investments.

(a)          For purposes of all calculations hereunder, any Portfolio Investment for which the trade date in respect of a sale thereof by the Company has occurred, but the settlement date for such sale has not occurred, shall be considered to be owned by the Company until such settlement date.

(b)          For purposes of the definition of the term Market Value and the calculation of the Net Asset Value and the Borrowing Base Test, if amounts are reserved in the Unfunded Exposure Account in respect of unfunded commitments under any Delayed Funding Term Loan or Revolving Loan (such Delayed Funding Term Loan or Revolving Loan to be identified by the Portfolio Manager in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Administrator), such Delayed Funding Term Loan or Revolving Loan, as applicable, shall be deemed to be funded to the extent of the amount so reserved and such amounts shall not be deemed to reduce the Net Advances for purposes of any calculation hereunder. Unfunded commitments under any Delayed Funding Term Loan or Revolving Loan shall not otherwise be considered funded for such purposes.

ARTICLE II
THE FINANCINGS

SECTION 2.01. Financing Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, only during the Reinvestment Period, each Financing Provider hereby severally agrees to make available to the Company the types of Financing identified on the Transaction Schedule as applicable to such Financing Provider, in U.S. dollars, in an aggregate amount, for such Financing Provider and such type of Financing, not exceeding the amount of its Financing Commitment for such type of Financing. The Financing Commitments shall terminate on the earliest of (a) the last day of the Reinvestment Period, (b) the Maturity Date and (c) the occurrence of a Market Value Event (or, if earlier, the date of termination of the Financing Commitments pursuant to Article VII).

A Financing Provider with a Financing Commitment to make Advances hereunder is referred to as a "Lender".

- 21 -

SECTION 2.02. [reserved]

SECTION 2.03. Financings; Use of Proceeds.

(a)          Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Purchase of a Portfolio Investment set forth in Section 1.03 both as of the related Trade Date and Settlement Date, the applicable Financing Providers will make the applicable Financing available to the Company on the related Settlement Date (or otherwise on the related specified borrowing date if no Portfolio Investment is being acquired on such date) as provided herein; provided that, if no Portfolio Investment is being acquired on such date, only the conditions set forth in clauses (3) and (4) of Section 1.03 shall require satisfaction or waiver.

(b)          Except as expressly provided herein, the failure of any Financing Provider to make any Advance required hereunder shall not relieve any other Financing Provider of its obligations hereunder. If any Financing Provider shall fail to provide any Financing to the Company required hereunder, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Financing Provider to satisfy such Financing Provider's obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

(c)          Subject to Section 2.03(e), the Company shall use the proceeds of the Financings received by it hereunder to purchase the Portfolio Investments identified in the related Notice of Acquisition or to make advances to the obligor of Delayed Funding Term Loans or Revolving Loans in accordance with the underlying instruments relating thereto, provided that, if the proceeds of a Financing are deposited in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.01 prior to or on the Settlement Date for any Portfolio Investment but the Company is unable to Purchase such Portfolio Investment on the related Settlement Date, or if there are proceeds of such Financing remaining after such Purchase, then, subject to Section 3.01(a), upon written notice from the Portfolio Manager the Collateral Agent shall apply such proceeds as provided in Section 4.05. The proceeds of the Financings shall not be used for any other purpose.

(d)          With respect to any Advance, the Portfolio Manager shall, on behalf of the Company, submit a request substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator, not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior to the Business Day specified as the date on which such Advance shall be made and, upon receipt of such request, the Lenders shall make such Advances in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 3.01. Any requested Advance shall be in an amount such that, after giving effect thereto and the related purchase (if any) of the applicable Portfolio Investment(s), the Borrowing Base Test is satisfied.

(e)          If, the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances is less than the Minimum Funding Amount on any period start date specified in the definition of the term Minimum Funding Amount, then the Portfolio Manager (on behalf of the Company) shall be deemed to have requested an Advance on each such date such that, after the funding thereof, the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances is equal to the Minimum Funding Amount. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing or a Market Value Event shall have occurred, the Lenders shall make a corresponding Advance in accordance with Article III on each such date (or, if either such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (with written notice to the Collateral Administrator by the Administrative Agent), such that after the funding thereof, the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances is equal to the Minimum Funding Amount.

- 22 -

(f)          If two Business Days prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Company has any outstanding obligations to make future advances under any Delayed Funding Term Loan or Revolving Loan, then the Portfolio Manager, on behalf of the Company, shall be deemed to have requested a Financing on such date, and the Lenders shall make a corresponding Advance on the last day of the Reinvestment Period (with written notice to the Collateral Administrator by the Administrative Agent) in accordance with Article III in amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of all such unfunded obligations, (ii) the Financing Commitments in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances and (iii) an amount such that the Borrowing Base Test is satisfied after giving effect to such Advance; provided that, if the Company provides evidence to the Administrative Agent that it has cash from other sources that is available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to make any such future advances in respect of any Delayed Funding Term Loan or Revolving Loan, then the amount of any such Advance shall be reduced by the amount of such funds. After giving effect to such Advance, the Company shall cause the proceeds of such Advance and cash from other sources that is available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all unfunded obligations remaining in respect of any Delayed Funding Term Loans or Revolving Loans to be deposited in the Unfunded Exposure Account and held as cash and Eligible Investments pending the funding of such future advances or until all commitments to make such future advances are terminated or expire or are irrevocably reduced to zero. For the avoidance of doubt, the amounts deposited in the Unfunded Exposure Account pursuant to this clause (f) shall not be used for any purpose other than as set forth in Section 8.01(h).

(g)          Without limitation to clause (f) above, the Company shall not acquire any unfunded commitment under any Revolving Loan or Delayed Funding Term Loan unless, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such purchase, the Borrowing Base Test and item 6 of the Concentration Limits will each be satisfied.

SECTION 2.04. Other Conditions to Financings.

(h)          Natixis Lien Release. The Administrative Agent has received a fully executed copy of the Payoff Letter and evidence satisfactory to it that the Natixis Lien Release will be obtained on the date that the initial Advance is made.

ARTICLE III
ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE FINANCINGS

SECTION 3.01. The Advances.

(a)          Making the Advances. If the Lenders are required to make an Advance to the Company as provided in Section 2.03, then each Lender shall make such Advance on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the Collateral Agent for deposit to the Collection Account; provided that the Company hereby directs the Lenders to pay the proceeds of the initial Advance hereunder in accordance with the directions set forth in the Payment Direction Letter. Each Lender at its option may make any Advance by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advance, provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Company to repay such Advance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may borrow and prepay Advances. The Company may reborrow Advances in an aggregate amount of U.S.$45,000,000. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, once drawn, Advances may not be reborrowed.

Payment of the proceeds of the initial Advance by the Lenders in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Payment Direction Letter will constitute the making of the Advance to the Company for all purposes and all obligations of the Lenders to make such Advance shall be satisfied thereby.

(b)          Interest on the Advances. All outstanding Advances shall bear interest (from and including the date on which such Advance is made) at a per annum rate equal to the LIBO Rate for each Calculation Period in effect plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Advance is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to the Advances as provided in the preceding sentence.

(c)          Evidence of the Advances. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Company to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (1) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, (2) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Lender hereunder and (3) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Any Lender may request that Advances made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if a registered note is requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

- 25 -

(d)          Pro Rata Treatment. Except as otherwise provided herein, all borrowings of, and payments in respect of, the Advances shall be made on a pro rata basis by or to the Lenders in accordance with their respective portions of the Financing Commitments in respect of Advances held by them.

(e)          Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company that the adoption of any law, rule or regulation, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for a Lender or the Administrative Agent to perform its obligations hereunder to fund or maintain Advances hereunder, then (1) the obligation of such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall immediately be suspended until such time as such Lender or the Administrative Agent determines (in its sole discretion) that such performance is again lawful, (2) at the request of the Company, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, other than immaterial, incidental expenses), until such time as the Advances are required to be prepaid as mandated by law in clause (3) below, to transfer all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates with respect to which such performance would not be unlawful, and (3) if such Lender or the Administrative Agent is unable to effect a transfer under clause (2), then any outstanding Advances of such Lender shall be promptly paid in full by the Company (together with all accrued interest and other amounts owing hereunder) but not later than such date as shall be mandated by law; provided that, to the extent that any such adoption or change makes it unlawful for the Advances to bear interest by reference to the LIBO Rate, then the foregoing clauses (1) through (3) shall not apply and the Advances shall bear interest (from and after the last day of the Calculation Period ending immediately after such adoption or change) at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule.

(f)          Increased Costs.

(i) If any Change in Law shall:

(A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;

(B) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender; or

(C) subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (z) 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;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Advance or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, upon request by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Company will pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

- 26 -

(ii)         If any Lender 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 Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Advances made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(iii)        A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(iv)        Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender'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 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(v)         Each Lender agrees that it will take such commercially reasonable actions as the Company may reasonably request that will avoid the need to pay, or reduce the amount of, any increased amounts referred to in this Section 3.01(f); provided that no Lender shall be obligated to take any actions that would, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender (including, without limitation, due to a loss of money). In no event will the Company be responsible for increased amounts referred to in this Section 3.01(f) which relates to any other entities to which any Lender provides financing.

(vi)        If any Lender (A) provides notice of unlawfulness or requests compensation under clause (e) above or this clause (f) or (B) defaults in its obligation to make Advances hereunder, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related transaction documents to an assignee identified by the Company that shall assume such obligations (whereupon such Lender shall be obligated to so assign), provided that, (x) such 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 through the date of such assignment and (y) a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. No prepayment fee that may otherwise be due hereunder shall be payable to such Lender in connection with any such assignment.

- 27 -

(g)          No Set-off or counterclaim. Subject to Section 3.03, all payments to be made hereunder by the Company in respect of the Advances shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that every such payment (after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties or other charges of whatever nature imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Company is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority therein or thereof) shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement.

SECTION 3.02. General. The provisions of Section 3.01 and any other provisions relating to the types of Financings contemplated by each such section shall not be operative until and unless such types of Financing have been made available to the Company, as evidenced by the Transaction Schedule.

SECTION 3.03. Taxes.

(a)          Payments Free of Taxes. All payments to be made hereunder by the Company in respect of the Advances shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law (including FATCA). If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Company, then the Company shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Company shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)          Payment of Other Taxes by the Company. The Company shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

- 28 -

(d)          Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of 10.06 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 the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender 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 Section 3.03(f) (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals 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 Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(E) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Company an electronic copy of an IRS Form W-9 upon becoming a party under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent represents to the Company that it is a "U.S. person" and a "financial institution" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1 and a "U.S. financial institution" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1471-3T and that it will comply with its obligations to withhold under Section 1441 and FATCA.

(g)          Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)          Survival. Each party's obligations under this Section 3.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Financing Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(a) Establishment and Maintenance of Accounts. The Company hereby appoints The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association as Securities Intermediary and has directed and the Securities Intermediary hereby acknowledges that it has established (1) an account designated as the "Custodial Account", (2) an account designated as the "Collection Account", (3) an account designated as the "MV Cure Account", (4) an account designated as the "Expense Reserve Account" and (5) an account designated as the "Unfunded Exposure Account" (the Unfunded Exposure Account, together with the Collection Account, the Custodial Account, the MV Cure Account, the Expense Reserve Account and any successor accounts established in connection with the resignation or removal of the Securities Intermediary, the "Accounts"), and the account numbers for the Accounts are set forth on the Transaction Schedule. The Securities Intermediary agrees to maintain each of the Accounts as a securities intermediary in the name of the Company subject to the lien of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and (y) agrees not to change the name or account number of any Account without the prior consent of the Collateral Agent. The Securities Intermediary hereby certifies that it is a bank or trust company that in the ordinary course of business maintains securities accounts for others and in that capacity has established the Accounts in the name of the Company.

(b) Collateral Agent in Control of Securities Accounts. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (1) each Account shall be deemed to be a "securities account" (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York (the "UCC")), (2) all property credited to any Account shall be treated as a financial asset for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC and (3) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent will be exclusively entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each financial asset credited to each Account. The parties hereto agree that the Securities Intermediary shall act only on entitlement orders or other instructions with respect to the Accounts originated by the Collateral Agent and no other person (and without further consent by any other person); and the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal over each Account. The only permitted withdrawals from the Accounts shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Furthermore, the parties hereto agree that the Portfolio Manager may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, direct the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Agent to withdraw from the Expense Reserve Account and pay to the Portfolio Manager an amount equal to any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred on behalf of the Company in connection with its management, administration and collection activities with respect to the Collateral and in compliance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that such amount shall not exceed U.S.$100,000 during any Calculation Period.

- 49 -

(c) Subordination of Lien, Etc. If the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Account or any security entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Agent. The property credited to any Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker's lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the Collateral Agent (except that the Securities Intermediary may set-off (1) all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Accounts, and (2) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to any Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).

(d) Property Registered, Indorsed, etc. to Securities Intermediary. All securities or other property represented by a promissory note or an instrument underlying any financial assets credited to any Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary, and in no case will any financial asset credited to any Account be registered in the name of the Company, payable to the order of the Company or specially indorsed to the Company except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank.

(e) Jurisdiction; Governing Law of Accounts. The establishment and maintenance of each Account and all interests, duties and obligations related thereto shall be governed by the law of the State of New York and the "securities intermediary's jurisdiction" (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) shall be the State of New York. Terms used in this Section 8.01 without definition have the meanings given to them in the UCC.

(f) No Duties. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Securities Intermediary shall not have any additional duties under this Agreement other than those expressly set forth in this Section 8.01, and the Securities Intermediary shall satisfy those duties expressly set forth in this Section 8.01 so long as it acts without gross negligence, fraud, reckless disregard or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Securities Intermediary shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, and the Securities Intermediary shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers. The Securities Intermediary shall be subject to all of the rights, protections and immunities given to the Collateral Agent hereunder, including indemnities.

(g) Investment of Funds on Deposit in the Expense Reserve Account and Unfunded Exposure Account. All amounts on deposit in the Expense Reserve Account and Unfunded Exposure Account shall be invested (and reinvested) at the written direction of the Company (or the Portfolio Manager on its behalf) delivered to the Collateral Agent in Eligible Investments; provided that, following the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Market Value Event, all amounts on deposit in the Expense Reserve Account and the Unfunded Exposure Account shall be invested, reinvested and otherwise disposed of at the written direction of the Administrative Agent delivered to the Collateral Agent.

(h) Unfunded Exposure Account.

(i)          Amounts may be deposited into the Unfunded Exposure Account from time to time in accordance with Section 4.05. Amounts shall also be deposited into the Unfunded Exposure Account as set forth in Section 2.03(f).

(ii)         While an Event of Default is not occurring and a Market Value Event has not occurred and subject to satisfaction of the Borrowing Base Test and Section 2.03(g) (each after giving effect to such release), the Portfolio Manager may direct, by means of an instruction in writing to the Securities Intermediary (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator), the release of funds on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account (i) for the purpose of funding the Company's unfunded commitments with respect to Delayed Funding Term Loans and Revolving Loans, for deposit into the Collection Account and (ii) so long as no Unfunded Exposure Shortfall exists or would exist after giving effect to the withdrawal. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or the occurrence of a Market Value Event, at the written direction of the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator), the Securities Intermediary shall transfer all amounts in the Unfunded Exposure Account to the Collection Account to prepay the outstanding Advances. Upon the direction of the Company by means of an instruction in writing to the Securities Intermediary (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent), any amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account in excess of outstanding funding obligations of the Company shall be released to the Collection Account to prepay the outstanding Advances.

SECTION 8.02. Collateral Security; Pledge; Delivery.

(a) Grant of Security Interest. As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all the Company's obligations to the Agents and the Lenders (collectively, the "Secured Parties") under this Agreement (collectively, the "Secured Obligations"), the Company hereby pledges to the Collateral Agent and grants a continuing security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent in all of the Company's right, title and interest in, to and under (in each case, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising) all accounts, payment intangibles, general intangibles, chattel paper, electronic chattel paper, instruments, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, investment property, and any and all other property of any type or nature owned by it (all of the property described in this clause (a) being collectively referred to herein as "Collateral"), including: (1) each Portfolio Investment, (2) all of the Company's interests in the Accounts and all investments, obligations and other property from time to time credited thereto, (3) the Natixis Sale Agreement and all rights related thereto, (4) the Parent Sale Agreement and all rights related thereto, (5) all other property of the Company and (6) all proceeds thereof, all accessions to and substitutions and replacements for, any of the foregoing, and all rents, profits and products of any thereof.

(b) Delivery and Other Perfection. In furtherance of the collateral arrangements contemplated herein, the Company shall (1) Deliver to the Collateral Agent the Collateral hereunder as and when acquired by the Company; (2) if any of the securities, monies or other property pledged by the Company hereunder are received by the Company, forthwith take such action as is necessary to ensure the Collateral Agent's continuing perfected security interest in such Collateral (including Delivering such securities, monies or other property to the Collateral Agent); and (3) upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Financing Providers and the Collateral Agent, at the expense of the Company, legal opinions from Dechert LLP or other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Financing Providers, as to the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent's security interest in any of the Collateral.

"Deliver" (and its correlative forms) means the taking of the following steps by the Company or the Portfolio Manager:

(1) in the case of Portfolio Investments and Eligible Investments and amounts on deposit in the MV Cure Account, by (x) causing the Securities Intermediary to indicate by book entry that a financial asset comprised thereof has been credited to the applicable Account and (y) causing the Securities Intermediary to agree that it will comply with entitlement orders originated by the Collateral Agent with respect to each such security entitlement without further consent by the Company;

- 51 -

(2) in the case of each general intangible, by notifying the obligor thereunder of the security interest of the Collateral Agent;

(3) in the case of Portfolio Investments consisting of money or instruments (the "New York Collateral") that do not constitute a financial asset forming the basis of a security entitlement delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to clause (1) above, by causing (x) the Collateral Agent to obtain possession of such New York Collateral in the State of New York, or (y) a person other than the Company and a securities intermediary (A)(I) to obtain possession of such New York Collateral in the State of New York, and (II) to then authenticate a record acknowledging that it holds possession of such New York Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent or (B)(I) to authenticate a record acknowledging that it will take possession of such New York Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and (II) to then acquire possession of such New York Collateral in the State of New York;

(4) in the case of any account which constitutes a "deposit account" under Article 9 of the UCC, by causing the Securities Intermediary to continuously identify in its books and records the security interest of the Collateral Agent in such account and, except as may be expressly provided herein to the contrary, establishing dominion and control over such account in favor of the Collateral Agent; and

(5) in all cases, by filing or causing the filing of a financing statement with respect to such Collateral with the Delaware Secretary of State.

(c) Remedies, Etc. During the period in which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall (but only if and to the extent directed in writing by the Required Financing Providers, with a copy to the Company) do any of the following:

(1) Exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent's or its designee's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent or a designee of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Financing Providers) may deem commercially reasonable. The Company agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days' prior notice to the Company of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent or its designee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(2) Transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Collateral Agent or a nominee thereof.

(3) Enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with respect thereto.

- 52 -

(4) Endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in the Company's name to allow collection of the Collateral.

(5) Take control of any proceeds of the Collateral.

(6) Execute (in the name, place and stead of any of the Company) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral.

(7) Perform such other acts as may be reasonably required to do to protect the Collateral Agent's rights and interest hereunder.

(d) Compliance with Restrictions. The Company and the Portfolio Manager agree that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent or its designee are hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel in writing is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental regulatory authority or official, and the Company and the Portfolio Manager further agree that such compliance shall not, in and of itself, result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Collateral Agent be liable or accountable to the Company or the Portfolio Manager for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in good faith compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

(e) Private Sale. The Collateral Agent shall incur no liability as a result of a sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to clause (c) above conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. The Company and the Portfolio Manager hereby waive any claims against each Agent and Financing Provider arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale.

(f) Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Company hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as the Company's attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of the Company by this appointment), with full authority in the place and stead of the Company and in the name of the Company, from time to time in the Collateral Agent's discretion (exercised at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Financing Providers, as the case may be), after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent or the Required Financing Providers may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. The Company hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant to this clause is irrevocable during the term of this Agreement and is coupled with an interest.

- 53 -

(g) Further Assurances. The Company covenants and agrees that, from time to time upon the request of the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent), the Company will execute and deliver such further documents, and do such other acts and things as the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent) may reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement and to protect and preserve the priority and validity of the security interest granted hereunder or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral; provided that no such document may alter the rights and protections afforded to the Company or the Portfolio Manager herein.

(h) Termination. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations and termination of the Financing Commitments, the security interest granted herein shall automatically (and without further action by any party) terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Company. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent will, at the Company's sole expense, deliver to the Company, or cause the Securities Intermediary to deliver, without any representations, warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing all of the Collateral held by the Securities Intermediary hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Company or its nominee such documents as the Company shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

ARTICLE IX
THE AGENTS

SECTION 9.01. Appointment of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Each of the Financing Providers hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (each, an "Agent" and collectively, the "Agents") as its agent and authorize such Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Agent and each Financing Provider hereby agree that no Financing Provider shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Collateral shall be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties at the direction of the Administrative Agent.

Each financial institution serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Financing Provider (if applicable) as any other Financing Provider and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such financial institution and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

- 54 -

No Agent or the Collateral Administrator shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except that the foregoing shall not limit any duty expressly set forth in this Agreement to include such rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by (i) in the case of the Collateral Agent (A) in respect of the exercise of remedies under Section 8.02(c), the Required Financing Providers, or (B) in all other cases, the Administrative Agent or (ii) in the case of any Agent, the Required Financing Providers (or such other number or percentage of the Financing Providers as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided herein), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company that is communicated to or obtained by the financial institution serving in the capacity of such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or with the consent or at the request or direction of the Administrative Agent (in the case of the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Agent only) or the Required Financing Providers (or such other number or percentage of the Financing Providers that shall be permitted herein to direct such action or forbearance). None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default, Event of Default, Market Value Event or failure of the Borrowing Base Test unless and until a Responsible Officer has received written notice thereof from the Company, a Financing Provider or the Administrative Agent. None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, value or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other agreement, instrument or document or the Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent shall be required to risk or expend its own funds in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder if it reasonably believes it will not receive reimbursement therefor hereunder.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, direction, opinion, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

In the event the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator shall receive conflicting instruction from the Administrative Agent and the Required Financing Providers, the instruction of the Required Financing Providers shall govern. Neither the Collateral Administrator nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations under or in respect of any other agreement (including any agreement that may be referenced herein) to which it is not a party. The grant of any permissive right or power to the Collateral Agent hereunder shall not be construed to impose a duty to act.

It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Collateral Administrator nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for, and shall not be under any duty to monitor or determine, compliance with the Eligibility Criteria (Schedule 3) or the Concentration Limitations (Schedule 4) in any instance, to determine if the conditions of "Deliver" have been satisfied or otherwise to monitor or determine compliance by any other person with the requirements of this Agreement.

Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. No agent shall be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any sub-agent or attorney appointed by such Agent with due care. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of such person and its Affiliates (the "Related Parties") for such Agent. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

- 55 -

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor as provided in this paragraph, each of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days' notice to each other agent, the Financing Providers, the Portfolio Manager and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Financing Providers shall have the right (with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or Market Value Event has occurred, the consent of the Company and the Portfolio Manager) to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Financing Providers and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Collateral Administrator, Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary or Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice of its resignation, then the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Financing Providers, appoint a successor which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Administrative Agent and shall have accepted such appointment within sixty (60) days after the retiring agent gives notice of its resignation, such agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring agent, and the retiring agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the retiring agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Sections 5.03 and 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor as provided in this paragraph, each of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary may be removed at any time with 30 days' notice by the Company (with the written consent of the Administrative Agent), with notice to the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Financing Providers and the Portfolio Manager. Upon any such removal, the Company shall have the right (with the consent of the Administrative Agent) to appoint a successor to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and/or the Securities Intermediary, as applicable. If no successor to any such person shall have been so appointed by the Company and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after such notice of removal, then the Administrative Agent may appoint a successor which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the removed agent, and the removed agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the removed agent's removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Sections 5.03 and 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such removed agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

Upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent or the successor agent, such retiring or removed agent shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor agent all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring or removed agent, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor agent all property and money held by such retiring or removed agent hereunder. Upon request of any such successor agent, the Company and the Administrative Agent shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor agent all such rights, powers and trusts.

- 56 -

Each Financing Provider acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Financing Provider and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Financing Provider also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Financing Provider and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Anything in this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event shall any Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if such Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, has been advised of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Each Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer or officers of such Agent or the Collateral Administrator, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent or the Collateral Administrator was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

Each Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any certificate, statement, direction or opinion furnished to it in connection with this Agreement.

Each Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, consent, order, approval, bond or other document or have any responsibility for filing or recording any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder.

No Agent shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts include but are not limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots and acts of war. In connection with any payment, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator are entitled to rely conclusively on any instructions provided to them by the Administrative Agent.

The rights, protections and immunities given to the Agents in this Section 9.01 shall likewise be available and applicable to the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator.

SECTION 9.02. Additional Provisions Relating to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator.

(a) Collateral Agent May Perform. The Collateral Agent shall from time to time take such action (at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Financing Providers) for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein, provided that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to take any such action in the absence of such direction and shall have no obligation to comply with any such direction if it reasonably believes that the same (1) is contrary to applicable law or (2) might subject the Collateral Agent to any loss, liability, cost or expense, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Financing Providers, as the case may be, issuing such instruction makes provision satisfactory to the Collateral Agent for payment of same.

- 57 -

With respect to actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Administrative Agent; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Required Financing Providers or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the determination of the Collateral Agent, (1) is contrary to applicable law or (2) is reasonably likely to subject the Collateral Agent to any loss, liability, cost or expense, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Financing Providers, as the case may be, issuing such instruction make provision satisfactory to the Collateral Agent for payment of same. In the event the Collateral Agent requests the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such request, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.

If, in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Agent 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 and shall have no liability in connection therewith except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. 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.

(b) Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession, provided that the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as the Company reasonably requests at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but failure of the Collateral Agent to comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care. The Collateral Agent will not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any liens thereon.

(c) Collateral Agent Not Liable. Except to the extent arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, criminal conduct, fraud or reckless disregard of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable by reason of its compliance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to (1) the investment of funds held thereunder in Eligible Investments (other than for losses attributable to the Collateral Agent's failure to make payments on investments issued by the Collateral Agent, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as collateral agent, in accordance with their terms) or (2) losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its stated maturity.

(d) Certain Rights and Obligations of the Collateral Agent. Without further consent or authorization from any Financing Providers, the Collateral Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to release any lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or as otherwise permitted or required hereunder or to which the Required Financing Providers have otherwise consented. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, any Agent or Financing Provider may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Financing Providers (but not any Financing Provider in its individual capacity unless the Required Financing Providers shall otherwise agree), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the purchaser at such sale.

- 58 -

(e) Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary and Collateral Administrator Fees and Expenses. The Company agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator such fees as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator and the Portfolio Manager, may agree in writing.

SECTION 10.06. Successors; Assignments.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Portfolio Manager, the Administrative Agent and each Financing Provider (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Company without such consent shall be null and void) and the Portfolio Manager may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Subject to the conditions set forth below, any Lender may assign to one or more banks or other financial institutions (or Affiliates thereof) or, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or after the occurrence of a Market Value Event, any other person, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Financing Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Financing Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender (or any Affiliate thereof) with a Financing Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement; (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent; and (C) unless a Market Value Event has occurred or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender may assign this Agreement or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Person that is primarily engaged in alternative asset management, including, without limitation, any private equity fund, distressed asset fund or hedge fund, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Company.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof below, from and after the effective date specified in each assignment and assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment and assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment and assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment and assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto as a Lender but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.03 and 10.04).

The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each assignment and assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Financing Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the parties hereto shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, any Lender and the Portfolio Manager, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon its receipt of a duly completed assignment and assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall accept such assignment and assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.

- 62 -

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a "Lender Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Financing Commitment and the Advances owing to it); provided that (1) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (2) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (3) the Company, the Agents and the other Financing Providers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Lender Participant, agree to any Material Amendment that affects such Lender Participant. As used herein, "Material Amendment" means any amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreement that (i) increases the Financing Commitment of any Lender, (ii) reduces the principal amount of any Advance or reduces the rate of interest thereon, or reduces any fees payable hereunder, (iii) postpones the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Advance, or any interest thereon, or any other amounts payable hereunder, or reduces the amount of, waives or excuses any such payment, or postpones the scheduled date of expiration of any Financing Commitment, (iv) changes any provision in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required hereby, or (v) changes any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of "Required Financing Providers" or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Financing Providers required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder. No Lender Participant shall be a Person that is primarily engaged in alternative asset management, including, without limitation, any private equity fund, distressed asset fund or hedge fund, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Company.

(d)          Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Lender Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Lender Participant's interest in the Advances or other obligations under this Agreement (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Lender Participant or any information relating to a Lender Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this 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. The Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01(e) and 3.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.03(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.03(f) shall be delivered to the Lender that sells the participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.01(f) relating to replacement of Lenders as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 10.06; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01(e) and 3.03, with respect to any participation, than the Lender that sells the participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Lender or the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the replacement of Lenders provisions set forth in Section 3.01(f) with respect to any Participant.
