COMMITMENTS

Section 2.1             Commitments of Each Lender. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender severally and for itself alone agrees to make a Class ▇-▇ Loan to the Borrower in a principal amount equal to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Percentage of the Aggregate Commitment.

(b)           Each Lender shall, on the Closing Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, severally, but not jointly, make a term loan (a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrower (the payment of which may be made to the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Borrower) for deposit in the Ramp-Up Account (pursuant to the wiring instructions on Schedule 4 hereto) in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the Aggregate Commitment. The commitment of each Lender to make Loans under this Section 2.1(b) is herein referred to as its “Commitment” and, together with its Percentage of the Aggregate Commitment, is set forth in Schedule 1 hereto.

(c)            Each Loan shall be denominated in Dollars. Subject to the terms hereof, the Borrower may from time to time prepay the Loans in accordance with the Priority of Payments and in connection with an Optional Redemption; provided that the Borrower may not borrow or re-borrow any Loans after prepayment or repayment thereof.

(d)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Loans shall constitute “Class ▇-▇ Loans” as defined under the Indenture and shall comprise and be part of the “Class B Debt” as set forth therein and, as such, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture applicable to the Class ▇-▇ Loans and the Class B Debt.

Section 2.2             Fees. The Borrower shall pay fees to the Loan Agent and the Collateral Trustee in the amount specified in the Agent Fee Letter, for all services rendered by each hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a collateral agent or loan agent, as applicable, of an express trust), subject to and in accordance with the Indenture, including the Priority of Payments. Such fees shall constitute Administrative Expenses and shall be payable solely from available funds in accordance with the Priority of Payments (or in such other manner in which Administrative Expenses are payable under the Indenture).

ARTICLE III

▇▇▇▇▇ AND ▇▇▇▇▇▇ NOTES

Section 3.1             Borrowing Procedure. Borrowings of Loans shall be made in accordance with this Section 3.1.

(a)            Upon receipt of confirmation from the Borrower (or its counsel on its behalf) that the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 have been satisfied, each Lender shall make available its pro rata share (based on such Lender’s Percentage) of the Aggregate Commitments in the manner provided below. All such amounts shall be made available in Dollars, and in immediately available funds to the Collateral Trustee for deposit into the Ramp-Up Account pursuant to the Indenture.

(b)           Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments and other commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

Section 3.2             Lender Notes. (a) On the Loan Date to the extent requested by any Lender, the Borrower shall (i) sign a Lender Note in the name of such Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the Aggregate Commitments, which such Lender Notes shall be dated the Loan Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit A (a “Lender Note”) and (ii) deliver such Lender Note to such Lender (with a copy to the Loan Agent). If requested by any Lender, the Borrower shall obtain a CUSIP or other loan identification number that is customary for the nature of the Loans made hereunder. To the extent any Lender does not elect to receive a Lender Note, the Registrar shall, upon instruction of the Borrower, deliver to such Lender a Confirmation of Registration in the form of Exhibit D hereto.

(b)           The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Loan Agent to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on its internal records, which notations shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of, and the Interest Rate applicable to, the Loans evidenced thereby. The notations on such internal records indicating the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans made by such Lender shall be prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid, but the failure to record any such amount, or any error therein, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Lender Note to make payment of principal of or interest on such Loans when due. At any time (including to replace any Lender Note that has been mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen) when any Lender requests the delivery of a new Lender Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender the Lender Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that, other than in the case of a substitute or replacement Lender Note to replace a Lender Note that has been mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, only one Lender Note shall be issued to any Lender and the Loan Agent shall not deliver a new Lender Note to any requesting Lender until such Lender surrenders the Lender Note currently held by such Lender; provided, further that, in the case of a substitute or replacement Lender Note, the Borrower and the Loan Agent shall have received from such requesting Lender (i) evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Lender Note and (ii) there is delivered to the Borrower, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee and the Transfer Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Borrower, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee and/or such Transfer Agent that such Lender Note has been acquired by a “protected purchaser” (within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the UCC), the Borrower shall execute and, upon receipt of such executed Lender Note, the Loan Agent shall deliver to the Lender, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Lender Note, the new Lender Note, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal or face amount, registered in the same manner, dated the date of its issuance, bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Lender Note and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding; provided, further that, in connection with the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date of the Loans, each Lender shall surrender the Lender Notes to the Loan Agent for payment of the Redemption Price or final payment of principal of such Loans in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Such surrender shall occur either at the address specified herein for the Loan Agent or, with respect to any Redemption Date, in accordance with the redemption notice delivered pursuant to Section 9.4 of the Indenture.

If, after delivery of such new Lender Note, a “protected purchaser” (within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the UCC) of the predecessor Lender Note presents for payment, transfer or exchange such predecessor Lender Note, the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent and such Transfer Agent shall be entitled to recover such new Lender Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent and such Transfer Agent in connection therewith.

In case any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Lender Note has become due and payable, the Borrower in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Lender Note pay such Lender Note without requiring surrender thereof except that any mutilated or defaced Lender Note shall be surrendered.

Upon the issuance of any new Lender Note under this Section 3.2, the Borrower may require the payment by the Lender thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent) connected therewith.

All Lender Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, conversion, exchange or redemption, or mutilated, defaced or deemed lost or stolen, shall be promptly canceled by the Loan Agent and may not be reissued or resold. No Lender Note may be surrendered (including any surrender in connection with any abandonment, donation, gift, contribution or other event or circumstance) except for payment as provided herein, or for registration of transfer, exchange, conversion or redemption, or for replacement in connection with any Lender Note mutilated, defaced or deemed lost or stolen. Any such Lender Note shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Loan Agent, be delivered to the Loan Agent. All canceled Lender Notes held by the Loan Agent shall be destroyed or held by the Loan Agent in accordance with its standard retention policy unless the Borrower shall direct by a Borrower Order received prior to destruction that they be returned to it.

The provisions of this Section 3.2 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Lender Notes.

Section 3.3             Principal Payments.

(a)           Repayments and Prepayments. The Borrower shall make payments of unpaid principal of each Loan on each Payment Date after the Reinvestment Period to the extent provided in the Priority of Payments. During the Reinvestment Period, the Loans must be repaid to the extent payments are required (or allowed) pursuant to the Indenture and Section 3.3(c) or Section 3.3(d) herein, and may be voluntarily repaid (in whole or in part) on any Payment Date or Business Day, as applicable, to the extent payments are permitted pursuant to the Indenture or Section 3.3(e), Section 3.3(f) or Section 3.3(h) herein. Any such payments of principal will be paid to the Loan Agent for payments to the Lenders in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(b)           Application. Each repayment and prepayment of a Loan shall be subject to the terms of the Indenture (including the subordination provisions set forth in Section 13.1 thereof and the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 11.1(a) thereof) and the requirement to pay Lenders on a pro rata basis as set forth in Section 8.6. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Loans shall comprise and be a part of the Class B Debt and, as such, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture applicable to the Class B Debt, and shall have the rights afforded in the Indenture to the Class B Debt (to the extent of the component thereof consisting of the Loans).

(c)            Mandatory Prepayment. If a Coverage Test is not met on any Determination Date on which such Coverage Test is applicable, the Borrower shall apply available amounts in the Payment Account pursuant to the Priority of Payments on the related Payment Date to make payments on the Secured Debt (including the Loans) as set forth in Section 9.1 of the Indenture (a “Mandatory Prepayment”).

(d)           Special Prepayment. Principal payments on the Secured Debt (including the Loans) shall be made in part in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date (i) during the Reinvestment Period, if the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion notifies the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent at least five Business Days prior to the applicable Special Prepayment Date that it has been unable, for a period of at least 20 consecutive Business Days, to identify additional Collateral Obligations that are deemed appropriate by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion and which would satisfy the Investment Criteria in sufficient amounts to permit the investment or reinvestment of all or a portion of the funds then in the Collection Account that are to be invested in additional Collateral Obligations or (ii) after the Effective Date unless the Effective Date Condition is satisfied, if the Collateral Manager notifies the Collateral Trustee that a redemption is required in order to obtain from S&P written confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Secured Debt (in each case, a “Special Prepayment”). On the first Payment Date (and all subsequent Payment Dates) identified by the Collateral Manager for the Special Prepayment (in the case of a Special Prepayment described in clause (i) above) or Payment Date (and all subsequent Payment Dates) following the Collection Period in which such notice is given (in the case of a Special Redemption described in clause (ii) above) (any such initial date a “Special Prepayment Date”), the amount in the Collection Account representing as applicable either (1) Principal Proceeds which the Collateral Manager has determined cannot be reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations or (2) Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds available therefor in accordance with the Priority of Payments on each Payment Date until the Issuer obtains confirmation from S&P of its Initial Ratings of the Secured Debt rated by it will be available to be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Notice of payments pursuant to this Section 3.3(d) shall be given by the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent not less than (x) in the case of a Special Redemption described in clause (i) above, three Business Days prior to the applicable Special Prepayment Date and (y) in the case of a Special Redemption described in clause (ii) above, one Business Day prior to the initial applicable Special Redemption Date, in each case by facsimile, email transmission or first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Secured Debt affected thereby at such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s facsimile number, email address or mailing address in the Register and to the Rating Agency. In the event of any Special Prepayment Date, the Loan Agent shall notify the Lenders thereof in writing in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

(e)           Optional Prepayment. In connection with an Optional Redemption of the Secured Debt under Section 9.2 of the Indenture or a Tax Redemption pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Indenture the Loans shall be prepaid in whole but not in part from Sale Proceeds, Contributions of Cash and/or Refinancing Proceeds, as applicable. In connection with a redemption of the Secured Debt under Article IX of the Indenture, the Loans shall be prepaid (each, an “Optional Prepayment”) by the Borrower, in whole on the same Payment Date as such Optional Redemption or redemption following a Tax Event.

In connection with any Optional Prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.3(e), upon notification from the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee or the Loan Agent (as applicable) as required by the Indenture, the Loan Agent shall notify the Lenders thereof in writing within the same time periods permitted for notice by the Collateral Trustee to the Holders of a Redemption Date under the Indenture.

(f)            Prepayment in Connection with Clean-Up Call Redemption of Notes. In connection with a Clean-Up Call Redemption of the Notes under Section 9.9 of the Indenture, the Loans may be prepaid (each, a “Clean-Up Call Prepayment”) by the Borrower as and to the extent set forth in such Section 9.9.

In connection with any Clean-Up Call Prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.3(f), upon notification from the Borrower as required by the Indenture, the Loan Agent shall notify the Lenders thereof in writing within the same time periods permitted for notice by the Collateral Trustee to the Holders of a Redemption Date under the Indenture.

(g)           Re-Pricing. The Loans and the Class B Notes issued as a result of the Loans being converted into the Class B Notes in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture will not be subject to Re-Pricing.

(h)           Borrower Repayment of Loans. The Loans may be repaid by the Borrower in connection with a purchase by the Borrower of the Class B Notes under Section 9.7 of the Indenture on the same Business Day as such purchase of the Class B Notes by the Issuer under the Indenture.

Such repayment by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.3(h) may be made if the following conditions are satisfied: (i) (A) such repayment shall be made pursuant to an offer made by the Borrower by notice to the Lenders, which notice shall set forth (x) the repayment amount (as a percentage of par) at which such repayment will be effected, (y) the maximum amount of Principal Proceeds that will be used to effect such repayment and the length of the period during which such offer will be open for acceptance, (B) each such Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accept such offer in accordance with its terms and (C) if the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Lenders and Holders or beneficial owners of Class B Notes who accept such offer exceeds the amount of Principal Proceeds specified in such offer, a portion of the Debt of each accepting Lender, Holder and beneficial owner shall be repaid or repurchased pro rata based on the respective principal amount held by each such Lender, Holder or beneficial owner; (ii) each such repayment shall be effected only at prices discounted from par; (iii) each such repayment shall occur during the Reinvestment Period and shall be effected with Principal Proceeds; (iv) each Coverage Test is satisfied immediately prior to each such repayment and will be satisfied, maintained or improved after giving effect to such repayment; (v) to the extent that Sale Proceeds are used to consummate any such repayment, either (I) each requirement or test, as the case may be, of the Concentration Limitations and the Collateral Quality Tests (except the S&P CDO Monitor Test) will be satisfied after giving effect to such repayment or (II) if any such requirement or test was not satisfied immediately prior to such sale, such requirement or test will be maintained or improved after giving effect to such repayment; (vi) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (vii) each such repayment will otherwise be conducted in accordance with applicable law; (viii) the Collateral Trustee shall have received an Officer’s certificate of the Collateral Manager to the effect that the conditions in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vii) have been satisfied; and (ix) notice of each such repayment shall be provided to the Rating Agency.

In connection with any such repayment, any Lender Note of a Lender subject to such repayment shall be surrendered to the Loan Agent for cancellation in accordance with Section 3.2. Upon receipt of the Officer’s certificate described in preceding sub-clause (viii) of this Section 3.3(h), the Loan Agent shall disburse any available amount on any Business Day pursuant to Borrower instruction (or the Collateral Manager acting on its behalf), which instruction shall identify that such disbursement is for the repayment of Loans pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 3.3(h). The Borrower reserves the right to cancel any offer to repay the Loans prior to finalizing such offer.

Section 3.4             Interest.

(a)            Interest on each Loan shall be payable in respect of each Loan, on each Payment Date and on any date of prepayment or repayment of such Loan, commencing on the first Payment Date following the Loan Date in accordance with the terms of the Indenture (including the subordination provisions set forth in Section 13.1 thereof and the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 11.1(a) thereof). For each Loan, interest shall accrue during each Interest Accrual Period on the unpaid Aggregate Outstanding Amount of such Loan on the first day of the applicable Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to payments of principal thereon on such date).

(b)           Interest due and payable shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.7 of the Indenture.

(c)           The Borrower shall make all payments of interest to the Loan Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with Section 3.5.

(d)           The Lenders hereby consent to the Borrower’s appointment of the Collateral Administrator to serve as Calculation Agent under the Indenture. All computations of interest due shall be made by the Calculation Agent in accordance with Section 8.7 hereof and Section 7.16 of the Indenture. The Borrower hereby agrees that for so long as any Loans remain Outstanding, there will at all times be a Calculation Agent appointed under the Indenture to calculate the Benchmark in respect of the Secured Debt.

(e)            In no event shall the rate of interest applicable to any Loan exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

(f)            Upon an assignment of Loans pursuant to Section 8.4, unless otherwise directed by the assignor Lender, the assigned Loans shall trade without accrued interest and the Loan Agent shall, in accordance with the Priority of Payments on the Payment Date immediately succeeding the date of assignment, disburse to (x) the assignor Lender, the interest accrued on such assigned Loan from and including the previous Payment Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Accrual Period, the Closing Date) to but excluding such date of assignment and (y) the assignee Lender, the interest accrued on such assigned Loan from and including such date of assignment to but excluding such Payment Date.

Section 3.5             Method and Place of Payment. To the extent funds are available pursuant to the Priority of Payments, all payments by the Borrower of principal and interest in respect of Loans hereunder and all fees and all other Loans hereunder shall be made in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 11.1 of the Indenture. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made to the Loan Agent for the ratable (based on their applicable Percentages) account of the Lenders entitled thereto (which funds, if delivered to the Loan Agent, the Loan Agent shall promptly forward to such Lenders), on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds to the account with the wire instructions specified in Schedule 3 (or in the Assignment Agreement, as applicable); provided, for so long as Computershare Trust Company, N.A., is the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent, payments made to the Lenders under the Indenture from the Payment Account or Collection Account shall be deemed to have been made first to the Loan Agent and then distributed to the Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, all payments by the Borrower of principal and interest in respect of Loans, or any other amounts owed to a Lender hereunder, payable on a Payment Date shall be made to the Lender of record as of the corresponding Record Date.

The Loan Agent shall establish a segregated non-interest bearing account in the name of the Loan Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (the “Class ▇-▇ Loan Account”) to which payments made by the Borrower for payment of Loans shall be deposited upon receipt for further payment to the Lenders. Amounts in the Class ▇-▇ Loan Account shall remain uninvested. The Class ▇-▇ Loan Account shall be required to satisfy the requirements for the Accounts set forth in Section 10.1 of the Indenture.

For all U.S. federal tax reporting purposes, all income earned on the funds invested and allocable to the Class ▇-▇ Loan Account is legally and beneficially owned by the Borrower. The Borrower is required to provide to the Bank, in the Bank’s capacity as Loan Agent (i) an IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 within five (5) Business Days of the date hereof, and (ii) any additional IRS forms (or updated versions of any previously submitted IRS forms) or other documentation at such time or times required by applicable law or upon the reasonable request of the Loan Agent as may be necessary (x) to reduce or eliminate the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes and (y) to permit the Loan Agent to fulfill its tax reporting obligations under applicable law with respect to the Class ▇-▇ Loan Account or any amounts paid to the Borrower. To the extent relevant, the Borrower is further required to report to the Loan Agent comparable information upon any change in the legal or beneficial ownership of the income allocable to the Class ▇-▇ Loan Account. The Bank, both in its individual capacity and in its capacity as Loan Agent, shall have no liability to the Borrower or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid, or retained for payment, to a governmental authority from the Class ▇-▇ Loan Account arising from the Borrower’s failure to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W 9, an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph.

Section 3.6             Subordination.

(a)            Incorporation of Subordination Provisions of the Indenture. All Loans incurred pursuant to this Agreement are subject to, and each Lender hereby consents and agrees to, the subordination and remedy provisions set forth in Section 13.1 of the Indenture. Article XIII of the Indenture shall be binding upon each Lender as though such sections (and the corresponding defined terms) had been set forth herein in their entirety.

(b)            Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of its Loans are subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Indenture and shall be paid solely to the extent of available funds in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Each Lender hereby agrees and acknowledges that its right to payment shall be subordinate and junior to any payments owed under Sections 11.1(a)(i)(A) and (B) of the Indenture and, any applicable payments owed under Section 11.1(a)(ii)(A) of the Indenture senior to payments with respect to the Loans and any payments owed under Sections 11.1(a)(iii)(A) and (B) of the Indenture (collectively, the “Senior Items”) of the Indenture, as applicable. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture, any Lender shall have received any payment or distribution in respect of its Loans contrary to the provisions of the Indenture or this Agreement, then, unless and until each Senior Item shall have been paid in full in Cash or, to the extent each recipient of such Senior Item consents, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of, and shall forthwith be paid over and delivered to, the Collateral Trustee, which shall pay and deliver the same in respect of the Senior Items in accordance with the Indenture; provided, however, that if any such payment or distribution is made other than in Cash, it shall be held by the Collateral Trustee as part of the Assets and subject in all respects to the provisions of the Indenture. Each Lender agrees with all recipients of Senior Items that such Lender shall not demand, accept, or receive any payment or distribution in respect of its Loans in violation of the provisions of the Indenture. Nothing in this Section 3.6(b) shall affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Lenders hereunder.

(c)            Agents Entitled to Assume Payment Not Prohibited in Absence of Notice. Each of the Agents shall not at any time be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Agent unless and until a Bank Officer of the Agent has actual knowledge thereof or unless and until the Agent shall have received and accepted (in its role as Agent) written notice thereof from the Borrower (in the form of an Officer’s Certificate reasonably satisfactory to the Agent) or persons representing themselves to be other holders of Debt and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Agent, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, shall be entitled in all respects conclusively to assume that no such fact exists, and the Agent shall have no liability hereunder for any payment made, or action taken, by it without such knowledge or notice.

Section 3.7             Conversion. (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon delivery from a Converting Lender to the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Rating Agency and the Borrower of a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, a Converting Lender may elect any Business Day (such Business Day, a “Conversion Date”) upon which all or a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans held by such Converting Lender shall be converted into Class B Notes of an equal aggregate principal amount in accordance with Section 2.5(v) of the Indenture; provided that each Conversion Date shall be no earlier than the fifth Business Day following the date such notice is delivered (or such earlier date as may be reasonably agreed to by the Lender, the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent) and may not be between a Record Date (or the date that is 15 days prior to a Payment Date, whichever is earlier) and the related Payment Date or Redemption Date, as applicable. On each Conversion Date, (A) the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class B Notes shall be increased by the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans so converted, and (B) if such Conversion Date is on a Payment Date, such conversion shall be deemed to occur immediately after giving effect to the Priority of Payments on such Conversion Date. The Loans so converted will cease to be outstanding and will be deemed to have been repaid in full for all purposes under the Indenture and under this Agreement. No Class B Notes may be converted into Loans.

(b)            The Lenders agree to provide reasonable assistance to the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent in connection with such conversion, including, but not limited to, providing applicable instructions to DTC.

(c)            If the Conversion Date is on a day other than a Payment Date, interest accrued on the Loan so converted since the prior Payment Date (or, if no Payment Date has occurred since the incurrence of such Loan, the Closing Date or other date of incurrence, as applicable) will, as of the Conversion Date, be deemed instead to have accrued on the Class B Notes for such time period and accrued interest on the applicable Loan will no longer be due and owing hereunder. If the Conversion Date is on a Payment Date, interest accrued on the Loan since the prior Payment Date (or, if no Payment Date has occurred since the incurrence of such Loan, the Closing Date or other date of incurrence, as applicable) will be paid to the Lenders of the applicable Loan on the related Conversion Date. Following the Conversion Date, the Class B Notes will accrue interest at the Interest Rate applicable to the Class B Notes, as set forth in the Indenture.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to exercise the Conversion Option concurrently with an assignment of all or a portion of its Loans (an “Assignment/Conversion”) such that the Effective Date (as defined in the Assignment Agreement attached as Exhibit B hereto) of the assignment occurs on the related Conversion Date and the assignee receives Class B Notes in lieu of the portion of the Loans being assigned. Any assignment made in connection with an Assignment/Conversion shall meet the requirements for an assignment set forth in Section 8.4. Any Lender electing to make an Assignment/Conversion shall deliver to the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Manager and the Borrower at least five Business Days prior to the Conversion Date, (x) an executed Assignment Agreement, (y) a completed notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and (z) the assignment fee required to be paid pursuant to Section 8.4(c) hereof.

All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Loans that are to be made from amounts withdrawn by the Collateral Trustee from the Payment Account shall be made on behalf of the Borrower by the Collateral Trustee with respect to payments on the Loans; provided that in the event the same entity is acting as the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent, such requirement shall be deemed satisfied if the payments on the Loans are made by the Collateral Trustee.

Section 5.4             Existence of Borrower. (a) The Borrower shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, maintain in full force and effect its existence and rights as a statutory trust formed under the laws of the State of Delaware, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualifications are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Indenture, the Debt or any of the Assets; provided, that the Borrower shall be entitled to change its jurisdiction of formation from the State of Delaware to any other jurisdiction reasonably selected by the Borrower at the direction of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes so long as (i) the Borrower has received a legal opinion (upon which the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent may conclusively rely) to the effect that such change is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders or the Lenders, (ii) written notice of such change shall have been given by the Borrower to the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent (which shall provide such notice to the Lenders), the Collateral Manager, each Lender and the Rating Agency and (iii) on or prior to the 15th Business Day following receipt of such notice the Collateral Trustee shall not have received written notice from a Majority of the Controlling Class objecting to such change.

Without limiting the foregoing, (I) the Borrower shall not have any subsidiaries (other than any Permitted Subsidiary meeting the requirements of Section 7.4 of the Indenture and formed for the purposes described in such Section 7.4); and (II) the Borrower shall not (A) except as contemplated by the Collateral Management Agreement or its trust agreement, engage in any transaction with any holder of beneficial interests that would constitute a conflict of interest or (B) make distributions on the Subordinated Notes except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Indenture and the Priority of Payments.

Section 5.5             Protection of Assets. The Borrower, or the Collateral Manager on behalf and at the expense of the Borrower will cause the taking of such action by the Borrower (or by the Collateral Manager if within the Collateral Manager’s control under the Collateral Management Agreement) as is reasonably necessary in order to perfect and maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Collateral Trustee in the Assets; provided that the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to rely on any Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to Section 7.6 of the Indenture and any opinion delivered on the Closing Date to determine what actions are reasonably necessary, and shall be fully protected in so relying on such an Opinion of Counsel, unless the Collateral Manager has actual knowledge that the procedures described in any such Opinion of Counsel are no longer adequate to maintain such perfection and priority. The Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and file or authorize the filing of all such Financing Statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action as may be necessary or advisable or desirable to secure the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Secured Debt hereunder and under the Indenture and to:

Section 5.6             Opinions as to Assets. Within the six month period preceding the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (and every five years thereafter), the Borrower shall furnish to the Collateral Trustee and the Rating Agency an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel as of the date of such opinion under the Delaware UCC, the UCC financing statement(s) filed in connection with the lien and security interests created by the Indenture shall remain effective and that no further action (other than as specified in such opinion) shall be required to maintain the continued effectiveness of such lien over the next five years.

Section 5.7             Performance of Obligations. (a) The Borrower shall use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others, that would release any Person from any of such Person’s covenants or obligations under any instrument included in the Assets, except in the case of enforcement action taken with respect to any Defaulted Obligation in accordance with the provisions hereof and actions by the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement and in conformity with this Agreement and the Indenture or as otherwise required hereby.

(b)           The Borrower may, with the prior written consent of a Majority of each Class of Secured Debt, in accordance with the Indenture (except in the case of the nature of the services set forth in the Collateral Management Agreement, this Agreement and the Collateral Administration Agreement, in which case no consent shall be required), contract with other Persons, including the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent and the Collateral Administrator for the performance of actions and obligations to be performed by the Borrower hereunder, under the Indenture and under the Collateral Management Agreement or the Collateral Administration Agreement by such Persons. Notwithstanding any such arrangement, the Borrower shall remain primarily liable with respect thereto.

Section 5.10           Successor Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger, or transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower in accordance with Section 7.10 of the Indenture in which the Merging Entity is not the surviving entity, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Merging Entity under the Indenture with the same effect as if such Person had been named as the Borrower herein, and the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Loan Agent the Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required by Section 7.10(d) of the Indenture.

Section 5.12           Annual Rating Review. (a) So long as any of the Secured Debt of any Class remains Outstanding, on or before December 31^st in each year commencing in 2026, the Borrower shall obtain and pay for an annual review of the rating of each such Class of Secured Debt from the Rating Agency. The Borrower shall promptly notify the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent and the Collateral Manager in writing (and the Loan Agent shall promptly provide the Lenders with a copy of such notice) if at any time the rating of any such Class of Secured Debt has been changed or withdrawn or the Borrower knows that any such rating will be changed or withdrawn.

(b)            The Borrower shall obtain and pay for an annual review of any Collateral Obligation which has an S&P Rating derived as set forth in clause (iii)(b) of the definition of the term “S&P Rating”.

Section 5.13           Calculation Agent. (a) The Borrower hereby agrees that for so long as any Secured Debt remains Outstanding there will at all times be an agent appointed (which does not control or is not controlled or under common control with the Borrower or its Affiliates or the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates) to calculate the Benchmark in respect of each Interest Accrual Period (or, in the case of the first Interest Accrual Period commencing on the Closing Date, each portion thereof) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture (the “Calculation Agent”). The Borrower hereby appoints the Collateral Administrator as Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Borrower at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Borrower, in respect of any Interest Accrual Period, the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Borrower, will promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Borrower or its Affiliates or the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties or be removed without a successor having been duly appointed.

The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree (and the Collateral Administrator as Calculation Agent agrees under the Indenture) that, as soon as practicable after 5:00 a.m. Chicago time on each Interest Determination Date, but in no event later than 5:00 a.m. New York time on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following each Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will calculate the Interest Rate applicable to each Class of Floating Rate Debt during the related Interest Accrual Period (or portion thereof) and the Debt Interest Amount (in each case, rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upward) payable on the related Payment Date in respect of such Class of Floating Rate Debt in respect of the related Interest Accrual Period. At such time, the Calculation Agent will communicate such rates and amounts to the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, each Paying Agent, the Collateral Manager, Euroclear and Clearstream. The Calculation Agent shall notify the Borrower before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on every Interest Determination Date if it has not determined and is not in the process of determining any such Interest Rate or Debt Interest Amount together with its reasons therefor. The Calculation Agent’s determination of the foregoing rates and amounts for any Interest Accrual Period (or portion thereof) will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties.

Neither the Collateral Trustee nor the Calculation Agent shall have any liability or responsibility for the determination (other than the calculation of such rate once such applicable rate has been selected), selection or verification of an alternative base rate (including, without limitation, whether any such rate is an Alternative Rate or whether the conditions for the designation of such rate have been satisfied). The Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Administrator and the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the Collateral Manager's designation of any such rate and shall have no liability for any failure or delay in performing its duties under the Indenture as a result of the unavailability of a reference rate as described herein‎, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party, ‎including without limitation the Collateral Manager and the Term SOFR Administrator, in providing any direction, instruction, ‎notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of the Indenture and reasonably required for the ‎performance of such duties.

The Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in Section 1-201(37) of the UCC) in such Assets in favor of the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties, which security interest is prior to all other liens, claims and encumbrances (except as permitted otherwise in the Indenture), and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Borrower.

(b)            The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that, as of the Closing Date (which representations and warranties shall survive the execution of this Agreement and be deemed to be repeated on each date on which an Asset is Granted to the Collateral Trustee under the Indenture), with respect to Assets that constitute Instruments:

(iii)              to indemnify each of the Agents and its respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, advisors and agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable counsel’s fees and expenses) of any type or nature incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Agreement and the Credit Documents or the performance of its duties hereunder or thereunder and under any of the Transaction Documents, including the costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel’s fees and expenses) of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the administration, exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder or any other document related hereto or the enforcement of the Borrower’s obligations or its respective rights hereunder.

This Section 7.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the removal or resignation of the applicable Agent.

(b)           The Agents hereby agree not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Borrower for the non-payment to the Agents of any amounts provided by this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, including this Section 7.8 hereof until at least one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) plus one day after the payment in full of all Debt. Nothing in this Section 7.8 hereof shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Agents (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) plus one day in (A) any case or Proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Borrower or (B) any involuntary insolvency Proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the applicable Agent, or (ii) from commencing against the Borrower or any of its properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation Proceeding.

Following realization of the Assets and distribution of proceeds in the manner provided in the Priority of Payments in the Indenture, any obligations of the Borrower and any claims of the Agents against the Borrower shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. This Section 7.8(c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the removal or resignation or the applicable Agent.

(d)           Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Agents be liable for punitive, special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) even if the Agents have been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of action.

(e)           The Borrower’s payment obligations to each of the Agents under this Section 7.8 shall be secured by the lien of the Indenture, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and the resignation or removal of such Agent, as applicable. When either Agent incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 5.1 of the Indenture, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 7.9             Agents Required; Eligibility.

(b)           Subject to and in accordance with Section 6.9 of the Indenture, the Loan Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 30 days written notice thereof to each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, each Lender and the Rating Agency.

If no Successor Agent shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a Successor Agent shall not have been delivered to the Agents within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Agent, or any Lender, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a Successor Agent satisfying the requirements of Section 7.9 hereof. The resignation or removal of the Collateral Trustee and/or the appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee shall be governed by Section 6.9 of the Indenture.

If no successor Loan Agent shall have been so appointed by the Borrower or a Majority of the Lenders and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, subject to Section 6.10 of the Indenture, any Lender or the Loan Agent may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Loan Agent.

Such notice shall include the name of the Successor Agent and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. If the Borrower fails to provide such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the Successor Agent, the Successor Agent shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Borrower.

This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Bank and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of it enforceable in accordance with its terms subject, as to enforcement, (i) to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights as such laws would apply in the event of any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency or similar event applicable to the Bank and (ii) to general equitable principles (whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(d)           No Conflict. Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (i) is prohibited by, or requires the Bank to obtain any consent, authorization, approval or registration (which have not already been obtained) under, any law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree that is binding upon the banking or trust powers of the Bank, or (ii) to its knowledge, will violate any provision of, result in any default or acceleration of any obligations under, result in the creation or imposition of any lien pursuant to, or require any consent under, any material agreement to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound.

Section 7.14           Withholding. If any amount is required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to any Lender, such amount shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Lender. The Loan Agent is hereby authorized to withhold or deduct from amounts otherwise distributable to any Lender sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally required to be withheld or deducted (but such authorization shall not prevent the Loan Agent from contesting any such tax in appropriate Proceedings and legally withholding payment of such tax, pending the outcome of such Proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to any Lender shall be treated as cash distributed to such Lender at the time it is deducted or withheld by the Borrower or the Loan Agent, as applicable, and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution, the Loan Agent may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 7.14. If any Lender wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Loan Agent shall reasonably cooperate with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in making such claim so long as such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to reimburse the Loan Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.1             [Reserved].

Section 8.2             Right of Setoff. Each Lender hereby waives any right of setoff that the Lender may have against the Borrower in respect of any Debt arising hereunder or under the Lender Notes.

Section 8.3             Notices. (a) All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopier or electronic mail (if an e-mail address for the relevant party is set forth in the Indenture)) and mailed or delivered, if to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Rating Agency, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee and/or any Lender, at its address specified in the Indenture (or, in the case of any Lender, in Schedule 2 hereof), in the case of any Lender becoming party hereto after the Closing Date, the related Assignment Agreement; or, at such other address as shall be designated by any party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given or made as of: the date so delivered, if delivered personally or by overnight courier; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; if sent by electronic mail (if an e-mail address for the relevant party is set forth in the Indenture or herein, as applicable), when received in the electronic mail account thereof and three (3) calendar days after mailing if sent by registered or certified mail (except that a notice of change of address shall not be deemed to have been given until actually received by the addressee).

(b)           Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent may, prior to receipt of written confirmation, act without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Collateral Trustee and/or the Loan Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower and/or the Collateral Manager (including an Officer thereof). In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Collateral Trustee’s and/or the Loan Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice absent manifest error.

(c)            In the event that any provision in this Agreement calls for any notice or document to be delivered simultaneously to the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent and any other person or entity, the Collateral Trustee’s and the Loan Agent’s receipt of such notice or document shall entitle the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent to assume that such notice was delivered to such other person or entity unless otherwise expressly specified herein or unless the Collateral Trustee or Loan Agent is responsible for sending such notice or document pursuant to the Indenture or hereunder.

(d)           Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement or in any agreement or document related hereto, any documents (including reports, notices or supplemental indentures) required to be provided by the Loan Agent or the Collateral Trustee to the Lenders may be provided by providing notice of, and access to, the Collateral Trustee’s website containing such document.

(e)            The Bank (in each of its capacities) agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Transaction Document sent by unsecured email, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided that, any Person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to the Bank an incumbency certificate listing authorized Officers designated to provide such instructions or directions, which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a Person is added or deleted from the listing. If such Person elects to give the Bank email or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Bank in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Bank’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Bank shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Bank’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Any Person providing such instructions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Bank, including without limitation the risk of the Bank acting on unauthorized instructions accompanied by an ‎incumbency certificate, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties. Any Person ‎providing such instructions acknowledges and agrees that there may be more secure methods of ‎transmitting such instructions than the method(s) selected by such Person and agrees that the ‎security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with such Person’s transmission of ‎such instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its ‎particular needs and circumstances.

Section 8.4             Benefit of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto to the extent permitted under this Section 8.4; provided that, except as provided in Section 5.10 of this Agreement, the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender. Each Lender may at any time grant participations in any of its rights hereunder to one or more commercial banks, insurance companies, funds or other financial institutions; provided that in the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; and provided, further that, no Lender shall transfer, grant or assign any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Lender Note in which such participant is participating or waive any Mandatory Prepayment thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase such participant’s participating interest in any Lender Note over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or a Mandatory Prepayment, shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Lender Note), (y) release all or substantially all of the Assets (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents), or (z) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (except as provided in Section 5.10 of this Agreement); and provided, further that, each participation shall be subject to the related participant providing a representation and warranty to the Lender from which it is acquiring its participation that it is a Qualified Purchaser and a Qualified Institutional Buyer and making representations substantially in the form set forth under Section 8.18(a)(i), Section 8.18(a)(ii), Section 8.18(a)(iv) and Section 8.18(a)(v).

(b)           Any Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, such Lender’s Loans, Lender Note and other Loans) to one or more commercial banks, insurance companies, funds or other financial institutions (including one or more Lenders) that is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser and can make all of the other representations set forth in Section 8.18. No assignment pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to an institution other than an Affiliate of such Lender or another Lender shall be in an aggregate amount less than (unless the entire outstanding Loan of the assigning Lender is so assigned) $250,000. No consent of the Borrower or the Loan Agent shall be required for any assignment by a Lender to another Lender. If any Lender so sells or assigns all or a part of its rights hereunder or under the Lender Notes, any reference in this Agreement or the Lender Notes to such assigning Lender shall thereafter refer to such Lender and to the respective assignee to the extent of their respective interests and the respective assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same rights and benefits as it would if it were such assigning Lender.

(c)            Each assignment pursuant to Section 8.4(b) shall be effected by the assigning Lender and the assignee Lender executing an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”), which Assignment Agreement shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B (appropriately completed); provided that, in each case, unless otherwise consented to by the Borrower, the Assignment Agreement shall contain a representation and warranty by the assignee to the Loan Agent and the Borrower that such assignee is an Approved Lender. In the event of (and at the time of) any such assignment, either the assigning Lender or the assignee Lender shall pay to the Loan Agent a nonrefundable assignment fee of $3,500, and at the time of any assignment pursuant to subclause (b) of this Section 8.4, (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the Lender Note (or the Confirmation of Registration in lieu thereof) of the respective assignee (which shall result in a direct reduction to the Lender Note of the assigning Lender) and of the other Lenders, and (ii) the Borrower shall issue new Lender Notes (or Confirmation of Registration) to the respective assignee and/or to the assigning Lender, as applicable, in conformity with the requirements of Sections 3.2 and 8.16. No transfer or assignment under subclause (b) of this Section 8.4 shall be effective until recorded by the Loan Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 8.16. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to subclause (b) of this Section 8.4, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Lender Note (or Confirmation of Registration). Each Lender and the Borrower agree to execute such documents (including amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents) as shall be necessary to effect the foregoing. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Lender Notes or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank. The Loan Agent shall be permitted to request such evidence reasonably satisfactory to it documenting the identity and/or signature of the assignor and the assignee, including a medallion signature guarantee.

Section 8.5             No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower or any other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 8.6             Payments Pro Rata. (a) The Collateral Trustee agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Loans hereunder and pursuant to the Indenture, it shall distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has expressly waived its right to receive its pro rata share thereof) pro rata based upon their respective Percentages, if any, of the Loans with respect to which such payment was received.

(b)           Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Commitment then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Commitment then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for Cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Loans to such other Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such disproportionate sum received; provided that, if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Section 8.7             Calculations; Computations. All computations of interest hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360.

Section 8.8             Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOANS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY THE LOANS (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b)           With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this Agreement or any matter between the parties arising under or in connection with this Agreement (“Proceedings”), each party irrevocably: (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof; and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party. Nothing in this Agreement precludes any of the parties from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.

(c)            EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND ANY LENDER BECOMING A PARTY HERETO (BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE OF THE DEBT) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOANS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. Each party hereby (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the other would not, in the event of a Proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this paragraph.

(d)            Each party (other than the Borrower and the Agents) to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.3.

Section 8.9             Counterparts. This Agreement shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party when executed and ‎delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) an original manual ‎signature; (ii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or (iii) any other electronic ‎signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, ‎state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic ‎signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the UCC (collectively, “Signature Law”), in ‎each case to the extent applicable. Each faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or ‎other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and ‎admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to ‎conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or ‎photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no ‎duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. This ‎Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be ‎an original, but such counterparts shall, together, constitute one and the same instrument. Any requirement in this Agreement that a document is to be signed or authenticated by “manual signature” or similar language shall not be deemed to prohibit signature to be by facsimile or electronic signature and shall not be deemed to prohibit delivery thereof by electronic transmission. For the ‎avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of ‎writings when required under the UCC or other Signature Law due to the character or intended ‎character of the writings.‎

Section 8.10           Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1.

Section 8.11           Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 8.12           Amendment or Waiver. (a) Except as set forth in clause (c) below, this Agreement may not be amended or waived other than in accordance with Article VIII of the Indenture, which is hereby incorporated by reference mutatis mutandis.

(c)            (i)               Other than any amendment or modification that could be effected under Article VIII of the Indenture without the consent of the Lenders, terms of this Agreement that are not related to provisions of the Indenture and that are terms uniquely affecting the Lenders may not be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the Borrower, the Agents and a Majority of the Lenders and is consented to by the Collateral Manager; provided that, no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (with Loans being directly affected thereby in the case of the following clause (A)), (A) extend any time fixed for the payment of any principal of the Loans, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or fees thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof or change any Lender’s Commitment, (B) release all or substantially all of the Assets (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents), (C) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8.6 or subclause (a) of this Section 8.12, (D) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority (it being understood that, with the consent of a Majority of the Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of a Majority of the Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Commitments are included on the Closing Date), (E) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (except as permitted by Section 5.10), (F) waive any mandatory prepayment of Loans required pursuant to Section 3.3(a) or (G) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8.19; provided, further that, no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall increase the Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications (otherwise permitted hereunder) of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of such Lender) or without the consent of the Agents amend, modify or waive any provision of Article VII or Section 3.6 as the same applies to the Agents. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee and all future holders of the Loans and the Lender Notes (or a Holder taking such interest in the form of a Confirmation of Registration).

(ii)               No change, waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement shall affect in any manner, amend, waive or modify the terms of the Indenture;

(d)           Prior to the effectiveness of any amendment to this Agreement pursuant to clause (c) above, S&P shall be given written notice thereof.

(e)            Neither the Collateral Trustee nor the Loan Agent shall be obligated to enter into any amendment or supplement that, as reasonably determined by it, adversely affects its duties, obligations, liabilities or protections under the Credit Documents.

Section 8.13           Survival. All indemnities set forth herein, including in Section 7.8 and Section 8.1 and the provisions in Section 3.7(c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the making and repayment of the Loans and the resignation and/or removal of the Loan Agent and the Collateral Trustee.

Each Lender shall be required to comply with the provisions of the Indenture, including Section 14.15 of the Indenture, with respect to Confidential Information and the provisions of Section 14.15 of the Indenture are incorporated by reference mutatis mutandis; provided that, in no event shall any Lender or any Affiliate thereof be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the Borrower.

Section 8.16           Register. (a) The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Loan Agent will serve as the Borrower’s agent (the "Registrar"), solely for purposes of this Section 8.16, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it shall record the names and addresses of each Lender, the Loans (and transfers thereof) made by each such persons and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made by such Lender shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Loan Agent with respect to ownership of such Loan as provided in this Section 8.16 and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Loan shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Loan shall be recorded by the Loan Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Loan Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 8.4(b). Each Lender shall promptly provide the Loan Agent any information reasonably requested by it for purposes of maintaining the Register. Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment Agreement to the Loan Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender its Lender Notes and thereupon one or more new Lender Notes (or Confirmation of Registration) in the same aggregate principal amount shall, if requested by the assigning or transferor Lender and/or new Lender, be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender, as applicable.

(b)           Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury regulations. 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, no Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c)            The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

Section 8.17           Marshalling; Recapture. None of the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Loans. To the extent any Lender receives any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to the Borrower or its estate, trustee, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or Federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by the amount so repaid shall be reinstated by the amount so repaid and shall be included within the liabilities of the Borrower to such Lender as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.

Section 8.18           Lender Representations, etc.; Non Recourse Obligations. (a) By executing this Agreement, whether on the date hereof or pursuant to an assignment permitted hereunder, each Lender represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

Each Lender understands that the Borrower, the Initial Purchaser, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Manager and their respective counsel will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations, and it hereby consents to such reliance. Each Lender understands that by entering into the transactions contemplated hereby it is making a loan under a commercial credit facility and that by making the foregoing representation, no Lender is characterizing the transactions contemplated herein as the making of an investment in “securities” as defined in the Securities Act.

(b)           The Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee and each Lender covenants and agrees that the obligations of the Borrower under the Loans and this Agreement are limited recourse obligations of the Borrower, payable solely from the Assets in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, and, following repayment and realization of the Assets, any claims of the Loan Agent or the Lenders and obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive, in accordance with Section 2.7 of the Indenture. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of the Loans against any member, shareholder, owner, employee, officer, director, manager, trustee, beneficial owner, authorized person, advisor, agent or incorporator or organizer of the Borrower or Collateral Manager or their respective successors or assigns for any amounts payable under the Loans, this Agreement or the Indenture. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.18(b) shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Assets for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Assets or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Loans until the Assets has been realized, whereupon any outstanding indebtedness or obligation shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive.

(b)            This Section 8.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.

Section 8.20           Acknowledgment.

Section 8.21           Limitation on Suits. No Lender shall have any right to institute any Proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Agreement or the Indenture except as provided in Section 5.3 of the Indenture.

Section 8.22           Unconditional Rights of Lenders to Receive Principal and Interest.

Section 8.23           Termination of Agreement. Without prejudice to any provision of the Indenture, this Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder, other than those expressly specified as surviving the termination of the Agreement and the repayment of the Loans and those set forth in Sections 4.1 of the Indenture with respect to the Lenders, the Loans or the Agents, shall terminate (i) at such time that all of the Loans are repaid in full in accordance with the terms herein, (ii) upon conversion of all of the Loans pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof or (iii) upon the final distribution of all proceeds of any liquidation of the Collateral Obligations, Equity Securities and Eligible Investments effected pursuant to Article V of the Indenture.
