Section 2.03 Making of the Advances. (a) If the Borrower requires an Advance under this Agreement with respect to any Loan Class (x) to purchase a Collateral Loan for which the Approval Request has been approved or which has been identified on the Approved List pursuant to Section 2.02, (y) to fund additional extensions of credit under Revolving Collateral Loans and Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans from time to time, or (z) for any other purpose permitted under this Agreement, it shall provide a written request for such Advance (which request shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt) to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent (with a copy to each Lender) (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) not later than (w) with respect to the initial Advance, the Closing Date, (x) with respect to a Dollar Advance, 2:00 p.m. New York City time at least one (1) Business Day prior to the day of the requested Advance, (y) with respect to a Euro Advance or a GBP Advance, 2:00 p.m. New York City time at least two (2) Business Days prior to the day of the requested Advance and (z) with respect to any Advance, other than a Dollar Advance, Euro Advance or GBP Advance, 2:00 p.m. New York City time at least three (3) Business Days prior to the day of the requested Advance.

Each Notice of Borrowing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B, dated the date the request for the related Advance is being made, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, shall attach a Borrowing Base Calculation Statement (which Borrowing Base Calculation Statement shall give pro forma effect to any Collateral Loans being acquired with the proceeds of such Advance on such date or the following Business Day), and shall otherwise be appropriately completed. In addition, the Collateral Manager must provide to the Administrative Agent for each Collateral Loan copies of the Asset Information related to such Collateral Loan and such additional materials related to such Collateral Loan as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify the Class under which the related Advance shall be allocated. The proposed Borrowing Date specified in each Notice of Borrowing shall be a Business Day falling on or prior to the Facility Termination Date, the currency of the Advance requested shall be in an Available Currency and the amount of the Advance requested in such Notice of Borrowing (the “Requested Amount”) shall be equal to at least the Dollar Equivalent of $500,000 or an integral multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, (x) the lower of (1) the remaining unfunded Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts hereunder and (2) with respect to any Advances other than a Dollar Advance, the Non-Dollar Sublimit minus the Foreign Currency Advance Amount or, (y) in the case of Revolving Collateral Loans and Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans, such lesser amount required to be funded by the Borrower in respect thereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Notice of Borrowing may include requests for more than one Advance so long as each request therein separately satisfies the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.03.

(b) Subject to the requirements set forth in Sections 2 and 3 hereof, each Lender shall, not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on each Borrowing Date in respect of Advances under any Class, make its Percentage of the applicable Requested Amount available to the Borrower by disbursing such funds in the applicable Available Currency to the applicable Principal Collection Account (or in accordance with the wire instructions delivered in connection with the Notice of Borrowing).

(c) Multicurrency Provisions.

-73-

(i) Each Lender hereby agrees that (A) each Eligible Currency Advance shall be funded in its entirety by the Multicurrency Lenders and (B) each Advance funded in Dollars shall be funded in its entirety by the Dollar Lenders or the Multicurrency Lenders, as applicable.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at no time shall (x) any Multicurrency Lender have any obligation to fund any Advance in any currency other than Euros, Pounds Sterling, Dollars or any other Available Currency or (y) any Dollar Lender have any obligation to fund any Advance in any currency other than Dollars.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.03 to the contrary, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Borrower, may deliver a Notice of Borrowing to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent (with a copy to each Lender) after 2 p.m. New York City time on the first Business Day prior to the proposed Advance and prior to 11 a.m. New York City time on the date of the proposed Advance (an “Expedited Notice of Borrowing”). Upon receipt of an Expedited Notice of Borrowing, each Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Advance on the proposed funding date set forth in the Expedited Notice of Borrowing subject to the terms and conditions for borrowings otherwise set forth in this Agreement; provided, that if a Lender is unable to make an Advance pursuant to an Expedited Notice of Borrowing due to the occurrence of a force majeure, or any other unexpected and unforeseen event, including, without limitation, market disruptions, such Lender shall make such Advance subject to the terms and conditions for Advances otherwise set forth in this Agreement as soon as such Lender is reasonably able to do so.

Section 2.04 Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to it and resulting from the Advances made by such Lender to the Borrower, from time to time, including the amounts and currencies of principal and interest thereon and paid to it, from time to time hereunder; provided that the failure of any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may request that its Advances to the Borrower be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender and otherwise appropriately completed. Thereafter, the Advances of such Lender evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 13.06(a)) be represented by a Note payable to such Lender (or registered assigns pursuant to Section 13.06(a)), except to the extent that such Lender (or assignee) subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Advances once again be evidenced as described in clause (a) of this Section 2.04.

Section 2.05 Payment of Principal and Interest. The Borrower shall pay the principal of each Advance and Interest on each Class of Advances as follows:

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

-74-

(b) Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in full. The Administrative Agent shall, prior to each Payment Date, determine the accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to each Class for the related Interest Accrual Period and Unused Fees payable thereto using the applicable Interest Rate during such Interest Accrual Period to be paid by the Borrower on each Payment Date for the related Interest Accrual Period and shall advise each Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Manager thereof and shall send a consolidated invoice of all such Interest and Unused Fees to the Borrower on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to such Payment Date.

(c) Accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to each Class shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Payment Date, and (ii) in connection with any prepayment of the Advances pursuant to Section 2.06(a); provided that (x) with respect to any prepayment in full of the Advances outstanding, accrued and unpaid Interest on such amount through the date of prepayment shall be payable on such date or as otherwise agreed to between the Lenders and the Borrower and (y) with respect to any partial prepayment of the Advances outstanding, accrued and unpaid Interest on such amount through the date of prepayment shall be payable on the Payment Date following such prepayment (or on such date of prepayment if requested by the Administrative Agent).

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

Section 2.06 Prepayment of Advances.

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day, voluntarily prepay Advances under one or more Classes in whole or in part, without penalty or premium; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent written notice of such prepayment (such notice, a “Notice of Prepayment”) in the form of Exhibit C not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment (provided that no such Notice of Prepayment shall be required in connection with any voluntary prepayment of Advances to cure any OC Ratio Breach). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such Notice of Prepayment. Each such Notice of Prepayment shall specify the portion of the outstanding principal balance under each Class that shall be prepaid and be irrevocable and effective upon receipt and shall be dated the date such notice is being given, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and otherwise appropriately completed. Each Notice of Prepayment shall provide for prepayment of Advances by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06(a), in each case, in an aggregate principal amount of the Dollar Equivalent of at least $500,000 (other than a prepayment made in order to cure any Default or Event of Default) or, if less, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Advances of the Borrower. If a Notice of Prepayment is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Such prepayment may be made with the proceeds of a sale or liquidation of a Collateral Loan in accordance with the Facility Documents or out of amounts available in the Principal Collection Account on the date of such prepayment.

-75-

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) The Borrower shall prepay the Advances on each Payment Date in the manner and to the extent provided in the Priority of Payments.

(ii) In connection with a sale of a Collateral Loan pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of Section 10.05, the proceeds of such sale shall be applied by the Borrower towards the prepayment of Advances on the date of such sale in an amount at least equal to the Warranty Collateral Loan Prepayment Amount.

(c) Interest Coverage Ratio Test Cures.

(i) In addition to any other obligation of the Borrower to cure any non-compliance with the Interest Coverage Ratio Test pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, if any non-compliance with the Interest Coverage Ratio Test exists, then the Borrower may eliminate such non-compliance with the Interest Coverage Ratio Test in its entirety by effecting one or more (or any combination thereof) of the following actions: (A) deposit into or credit to the Collection Account cash and Eligible Investments, (B) repay Advances (together with all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Agents, Custodian, Securities Intermediary and the Lenders for which the Borrower has received a reasonably detailed invoice prior to such date of repayment, in each case in respect of the amount so repaid), or (C) during the Reinvestment Period, pledge additional Eligible Collateral Loans as Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, no prepayment fee shall be required in connection with any prepayment of an Advance made to cure any non-compliance with the Interest Coverage Ratio Test.

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

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

-76-

(d) Additional Prepayment Provisions. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be subject to Sections 2.05(c) and 2.11 and applied to the Advances in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Percentages.

(e) Available Currency. Any and all prepayments made by the Borrower under the Facility Documents shall be made in the applicable Available Currency.

Section 2.07 Changes of Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts.

(a) Automatic Reduction and Termination. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.04, the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts of each Lender shall be automatically reduced to zero at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Facility Termination Date.

(b) Optional Reductions. The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the unused amount of the Facility Amount at any time or from time to time concurrently with the payment of any applicable Facility Reduction Fee payable in connection therewith upon not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date of such termination or reduction and the amount of any such reduction; provided that (i) the amount of any such reduction of the Facility Amount shall be equal to at least the Dollar Equivalent of $500,000 or, if less, the remaining unused portion thereof, and (ii) no such reduction will reduce the Facility Amount below the sum of the Dollar Equivalent of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Advances outstanding at such time and (y) the Revolving Exposure at such time. Such notice of termination or reduction shall be irrevocable and effective only upon receipt and shall be applied pro rata to reduce the respective Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts of each Lender. Except as otherwise set forth herein, upon the occurrence of the Collection Date, this Agreement shall terminate automatically.

(c) Effect of Termination or Reduction. The Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts of the Lenders once terminated or reduced may not be reinstated. Each reduction of the Facility Amount pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be applied ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts.

Section 2.08 Maximum Lawful Rate. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the interest on the Advances shall not exceed the maximum rate permissible under Applicable Law. Accordingly, anything herein or in any Note to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event any interest is charged to, collected from or received from or on behalf of the Borrower by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto in excess of such maximum lawful rate, then the excess of such payment over that maximum shall be applied first to the payment of amounts then due and owing by the Borrower to the Secured Parties under this Agreement (other than in respect of principal of and interest on the Advances) and then to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances of the Borrower.

-77-

Section 2.09 Several Obligations. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Advance on such date. Neither Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Lender to make any Advance, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make an Advance required to be made by such other Lender.

Section 2.10 Increased Costs.

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

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

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

(iii) impose on any Affected Person or any other market relevant to any Applicable Index with respect to the applicable Advances any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes), affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Affected Person by reference to the Applicable Index or any participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Person of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Advance made by reference to an Applicable Index (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Person hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered as specified in a certificate delivered to the Borrower pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.10, irrespective of whether such an increase in cost was implemented before or after the Closing Date.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital or on the capital of such Affected Person’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Advances made by such Affected Person to a level below that which such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Person’s policies and the policies of such Affected Person’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity coverage), by an amount deemed to be material by such Affected Person, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Affected Person in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company for any such reduction suffered or charge imposed; provided that the amounts payable under this Section 2.10(b) shall be without duplication of amounts payable under Section 13.03 and shall not include any Excluded Taxes.

-78-

(c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of an Affected Person setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand and the amount or amounts, in Dollars, necessary to compensate such Affected Person or its holding company as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.10 shall be promptly delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that such Affected Person charges such increased costs to borrowers that are substantially similar to the Borrower in financing transactions materially similar to the financing transaction set forth in this Agreement. The Borrower shall pay such amount shown as due on any such certificate on the next Payment Date after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 2.10 for any costs, reductions, penalties or interest or for any other amounts incurred more than two hundred and seventy (270) days prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to any increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the two hundred and seventy (270)-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Lending Office. Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the Borrower’s obligation to pay additional amounts to a Lender pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 2.10, such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation would reduce or obviate the obligations of the Borrower to make future payments of such additional amounts; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no unreimbursed cost or material legal or regulatory disadvantage (as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such provision.

Section 2.11 Compensation; Breakage Payments. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Affected Person from time to time, on the Payment Date (or on the applicable date of prepayment) immediately following such Affected Person’s written request (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts) in accordance with the Priority of Payments, for all reasonable and documented actual losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Affected Person to lenders of funds borrowed to make or carry an Advance bearing interest that was computed by reference to an Applicable Index and any loss sustained by such Affected Person in connection with the re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits), which such Affected Person may sustain: (i) if for any reason (including any failure of a condition precedent set forth in Article III but excluding a default by the applicable Lender) any Advance bearing interest that was computed by reference to an Applicable Index by the Borrower does not occur on the Borrowing Date specified therefor in the applicable Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Borrower, and (ii) if any payment or prepayment of any Advance bearing interest that was computed by reference to the Applicable Index is not made on a Payment Date or pursuant to a Notice of Prepayment given by the Borrower. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.11 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender (with a copy to the Agents, and accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts and a description of the basis for requesting such amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

-79-

Section 2.12 Inability to Determine Rates; ▇▇▇▇▇ Market Disruption and Cost of Funds. (a) With respect to any Advance other than a GBP Advance, if, prior to the first day of any Interest Accrual Period or prior to the date of any Advance, as applicable, the Administrative Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Applicable Index (other than Adjusted Cumulative Compounded ▇▇▇▇▇) for the applicable Advances, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and each Lender; provided that the Administrative Agent has made a similar determination with respect to similarly situated borrowers in similar facilities. Subject to Section 2.18(g), thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Advances based upon the Applicable Index (other than Adjusted Cumulative Compounded ▇▇▇▇▇) will be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice.

(b) With respect to a GBP Advance:

(i) If (A) there is no applicable ▇▇▇▇▇ or Central Bank Rate for the purposes of calculating the Cumulative Compounded ▇▇▇▇▇ Rate for an RFR Banking Day during an Interest Accrual Period for a GBP Advance, or (B) the Administrative Agent receives notifications before the ▇▇▇▇▇ Reporting Time for such GBP Advance from a Lender or Lenders (in each case, whose aggregate participations in such GBP Advance exceed 50% of such GBP Advance) that its cost of funds relating to its participation in such GBP Advance would be in excess of the Adjusted Cumulative Compounded ▇▇▇▇▇, each Lender’s share of such GBP Advance shall instead accrue interest at the percentage rate per annum which is equal to the weighted average of the rates notified to the Administrative Agent by each Lender as soon as practicable and in any event by the ▇▇▇▇▇ Reporting Time for such GBP Advance, in each case, expressed as a percentage rate per annum equal to such Lender’s cost of funds relating to its participation in such GBP Advance (with respect to each Lender, each such rate, its “Funding Rate”).

(ii) If this Section 2.12(b) applies and the Administrative Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

(iii) Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to clause (ii) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all parties hereto.

(iv) If the circumstances set forth in clause (i)(B) above exist and (A) a Lender’s Funding Rate is less than the Adjusted Cumulative Compounded ▇▇▇▇▇; or (B) a Lender does not notify a rate to the Administrative Agent by the relevant ▇▇▇▇▇ Reporting Time, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Funding Rate relating to its participation in such GBP Advance shall be deemed, for the purposes of calculating the weighted average pursuant to clause (i) above, to be the Adjusted Cumulative Compounded ▇▇▇▇▇ for such GBP Advance.

-80-

(v) Subject to clause (iv) above, if this Section 2.12(b) applies but any Lender does not notify a rate to the Administrative Agent by the ▇▇▇▇▇ Reporting Time for the relevant GBP Advance, the rate of interest shall be calculated on the basis of the rates notified by the remaining Lenders.

(vi) If this Section 2.12 applies the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as is practicable, notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Collateral Agent).

Section 2.13 Rescission or Return of Payment. The Borrower agrees that, if at any time (including after the occurrence of the Final Maturity Date) all or any part of any payment theretofore made by it to any Secured Party or any designee of a Secured Party is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates), the obligation of the Borrower to make such payment to such Secured Party shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence and this Agreement and any other applicable Facility Document shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such obligations, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 2.14 Post-Default Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on all Obligations (other than any Administrative Expenses) that are not paid when due for the period from the due date thereof until the date the same is paid in full at the Post-Default Rate. Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 2.15 Payments Generally. (a) All amounts owing and payable to any Secured Party, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party, in respect of the Advances and other Obligations, including the principal thereof, interest, fees, indemnities, expenses or other amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Facility Document, shall be paid from amounts available therefor under this Agreement on behalf of and at the direction of the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) by the Collateral Agent to the applicable recipient in the applicable Available Currency, in immediately available funds, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and all without counterclaim, setoff, deduction, defense, abatement, suspension or deferment. Each Lender shall provide wire instructions to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent. All payments made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to a Payment Date Report on any Payment Date shall be wired by the Collateral Agent by 4:00 p.m. New York City time on such Payment Date. Prepayments to be made pursuant to Section 2.06 for which the Collateral Agent has received a Notice of Prepayment two (2) Business Days prior to the scheduled date of prepayment shall be wired by the Collateral Agent by 4:00 p.m. New York City time on such date. All other payments by the Borrower must be received by the Collateral Agent on or prior to 3:00 p.m. New York City time on a Business Day (the Collateral Agent shall then wire such funds to the Lenders by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such Business Day); provided that, payments received by the Collateral Agent after 3:00 p.m. New York City time or payments received by the Lenders after 5:00 p.m. New York City time on a Business Day will be deemed to have been received or paid, as the case may be, on the next following Business Day. For the avoidance of doubt, and only for purposes of Section 6.01, amounts paid by the Borrower shall be deemed received upon payment by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent. For all other purposes, amounts

-81-

paid by the Borrower shall be deemed received by the Collateral Agent only upon actual receipt by the Collateral Agent and crediting of such amounts by the Collateral Agent to the respective account(s) from which further payment is to be made. At no time will the Collateral Agent have any duty (express or implied) to fund (or front or advance) any amount owing by the Borrower hereunder.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all computations of interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made on the basis of a year of (x) 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed in computing interest on any Dollar Advance and Euro Advance and (y) 365 days for the actual number of days elapsed in computing interest on any GBP Advance, the date of the making of the Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided that, if an Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s Interest shall be paid on such Advance. All computations made by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Facility Document shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Any and all payments made by the Borrower under the Facility Documents shall be made in the applicable Available Currency. For purposes of Section 9.01(a), any amounts on deposit in the Collection Account denominated in any Available Currency shall be applied on any Payment Date (i) first, to make payments in such Available Currency and (ii) second, to make payments in any other Available Currency (pro rata based on available amounts from each other Available Currency, unless otherwise directed in writing by the Collateral Manager), as converted by the Collateral Manager pursuant to the definition of “Dollar Equivalent”; provided, that such payments shall be subject to availability of such funds pursuant to Section 9.01(a). The Collateral Manager shall instruct the Collateral Agent, no later than two (2) Business Days immediately preceding each Payment Date, to convert amounts on deposit in the applicable Collection Account into each Available Currency (pro rata based on available amounts from each other Available Currency, unless otherwise directed in writing by the Collateral Manager). Any Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account denominated in an Available Currency may be converted by the Collateral Manager into another Available Currency on any Business Day (other than a Payment Date) pursuant to the definition of “Dollar Equivalent”. All risks and expenses incident to such conversion is the responsibility of the Borrower and the Collateral Agent shall have (x) no responsibility for fluctuations in exchange rates affecting any Collections or conversion thereof and (y) to the extent it complies with the instructions provided by the Collateral Manager, no liability for any losses incurred or resulting from the rates obtained in such foreign exchange transactions.

Section 2.16 Extension of Facility Termination Date. The Borrower shall have an option to extend the Facility Termination Date one time, not longer than one year, effective on the Facility Termination Date then in effect, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(a) each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have consented to the extension in their sole discretion (written notice of such consent to be delivered to Borrower together with the requested extension fee (if applicable) no later than thirty (30) days following receipt of the Extension Request delivered pursuant to clause (e) below; provided that if the Borrower fails to receive such consent from the Administrative Agent or any Lender within such thirty-day period, the Administrative Agent and such Lender, as applicable, shall be deemed to have denied such Extension Request);

-82-

(b) as of the effective date of such extension, the representations and warranties of the Borrower, the Equityholder and the Collateral Manager set forth herein and in the other Facility Documents are true and correct in all material respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date); provided that if a representation or warranty is qualified as to materiality, with respect to such representation or warranty, the foregoing materiality qualifier shall be disregarded for the purposes of this condition;

(c) the Borrower shall have paid an extension fee to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, in an amount to be mutually agreed upon by the Borrower and such Lender;

(d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date on which the Extension Request is delivered in accordance with the following clause (e) or on the Facility Termination Date then in effect; and

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

(i) That Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 13.01(d).

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default or Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to other Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Event of Default or Default exists, to the payment of

-83-

Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) For any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender, that Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(b) If the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

-84-

Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from the Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.18(b) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(c) [Reserved.]

(d) Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will, with the consent of the Borrower, have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or other consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Facility Document.

-85-

(g) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any Notice of Borrowing, conversion to or continuation of Advances to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request for a Dollar Advance into a Notice of Borrowing of or request for a conversion to Advances denominated in the applicable currency bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to, in the case of Dollar Advances, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, or (y) any Advance denominated in an Available Currency (other than Dollars) shall be ineffective, as applicable. Furthermore, if any Advance in any Available Currency is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to an Applicable Index applicable to such Advance, then (i) if such Advance is denominated in Dollars, then on the last day of the Interest Accrual Period applicable to such Advance (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Advance shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an Advance denominated in Dollars bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin on such day or (ii) if such Advance is denominated in any Available Currency (other than Dollars), then such Advance shall, on the last day of the Interest Accrual Period applicable to such Advance (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), at the Borrower’s election prior to such day, (A) be prepaid by the Borrower on such day or (B) be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and (subject to the remainder of this subclause (B)) shall constitute, an Advance denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Available Currency) bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to the then applicable Benchmark for Dollar Advances plus the Applicable Margin on such day (it being understood and agreed that if the Borrower does not so prepay such Advance on such day by 12:00 noon, New York City time, the Administrative Agent is authorized to effect such conversion of such Advance into an Advance denominated in Dollars bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to the then applicable Benchmark for Dollar Advances plus the Applicable Margin), and, in the case of such subclause (B), upon any subsequent implementation of a Benchmark Replacement in respect of such Available Currency pursuant to this Section 2.18 (in consultation with the Borrower) such Advance denominated in Dollars shall then be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an Advance denominated in such original Available Currency (in an amount equal to the equivalent in such currency of such Available Currency) on the day of such implementation, giving effect to such Benchmark Replacement in respect of such Available Currency.

(h) None of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Securities Intermediary will have any responsibility for the selection or determination of an alternate benchmark rate (including, without limitation, any Benchmark Replacement or other replacement index adopted pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement) or any liability for any failure, or delay in performing their duties hereunder solely as a result of the unavailability of the Benchmark, the Benchmark Replacement or any other benchmark rate herein.

(i) Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective with the written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Facility Document. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower and the Lenders (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (which will notify the Lenders promptly) of such Event of Default in writing.

-120-

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in addition to all rights and remedies specified in this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, including Article VII, and the rights and remedies of a secured party under Applicable Law, including the UCC, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may with the consent of, the Majority Lenders, by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Collateral Agent), do any one or more of the following: (1) declare the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts to be terminated, whereupon the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts shall be terminated, and (2) declare the principal of and the accrued Interest on the Advances and all other Obligations whatsoever payable by the Borrower hereunder to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such amounts shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; provided that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clause (j) of this Section 6.01, the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts shall automatically terminate and the Advances and all such other amounts shall automatically become due and payable, without any further action by any party.

In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, following written notice by the Administrative Agent (provided in its sole discretion or at the direction of the Majority Lenders) to the Collateral Manager of the exercise of control rights with respect to the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Manager to exercise certain rights on behalf of the Administrative Agent, including: (1) the exercise of the Collateral Manager’s rights and obligations under the Facility Documents, including its unilateral power to (A) consent to modifications to Collateral Loans, (B) take any discretionary action with respect to Collateral Loans and (C) direct the acquisition, sales and other dispositions of Collateral Loans to be immediately terminated; (2) to require the Collateral Manager to obtain the consent of the Administrative Agent before agreeing to any modification of any Collateral Loan, taking any discretionary action with respect to any Collateral Loan or causing the Borrower to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral Loan; and (3) to require the Collateral Manager to cause the Borrower to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral Loan as directed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.03 but subject to rights of the Equityholder and its Affiliates under Section 6.03.

Section 6.02 OC Ratio Posting Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if an OC Ratio Breach has occurred, within ten (10) Business Days of the occurrence of such OC Ratio Breach, the Equityholder may, but shall not be required to, cure such condition by making a cash payment into the Principal Collection Account in an amount (which shall be in increments of $500,000) that would cause such OC Ratio Breach to be cured after giving effect to such payment into the Principal Collection Account (any such payment, an “OC Ratio Posting Payment”).

Section 6.03 Repurchase of Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Facility Document, in connection with any liquidation or disposition of the Collateral, including without limitation, upon the termination of the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Equityholder and/or any of its Affiliates shall have the right to purchase the Collateral subject to such liquidation or disposition at a purchase price at least equal to the sum of the then accrued and outstanding Obligations, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. Any such

-121-

party may exercise such right by delivering written notice to the Administrative Agent (an “Exercise Notice”), with a copy to the Collateral Agent, which shall include a proposed purchase price and be delivered not later than three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of such Event of Default and termination of the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts, as applicable, and the intent of the Administrative Agent to liquidate or dispose of the Collateral, and which Exercise Notice shall set forth evidence that the Equityholder or its Affiliate (or designee) has sufficient capital (or has made capital calls for sufficient amounts) to consummate such purchase in accordance with this Section 6.03. Once an Exercise Notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent, the delivering party (or its designated Affiliate or managed fund) shall be obligated, irrevocably and unconditionally, to purchase the Collateral, at the price referenced above, for settlement within the normal settlement period for such Collateral. Neither the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall assert any right or remedy in respect of the Collateral, including any right described in Section 6.01, Section 7.03 or Article XI, or cause the removal of the Collateral Manager, or cause the liquidation or disposition of the Collateral Loans to occur, in each case during the time that the Equityholder and its Affiliates are entitled to provide an Exercise Notice and purchase the Collateral pursuant to this Section 6.03.

ARTICLE VII

PLEDGE OF COLLATERAL; RIGHTS OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Section 7.01 Grant of Security. (a) The Borrower hereby grants, pledges and collaterally assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for all Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and a Lien upon, all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under, the following property, in each case whether tangible or intangible, wheresoever located, and whether now owned by the Borrower or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence (in each case excluding the Excluded Amounts) (all of the property described in this Section 7.01(a) being collectively referred to herein as the “Collateral”):

(i) all Collateral Loans and Related Documents (including those listed, as of the Closing Date, in Schedule 3), both now and hereafter owned, including all Collections and other Proceeds thereon or with respect thereto;

(ii) each Covered Account and all Money and all investment property (including all securities, all security entitlements with respect to such Covered Account and all financial assets carried in such Covered Account) from time to time on deposit in or credited to each Covered Account;

(iii) all interest, dividends, distributions and other Money or property of any kind distributed in respect of the Collateral Loans of the Borrower, which the Borrower is entitled to receive, including all Collections in respect of its Collateral Loans;

-122-

(iv) each Facility Document and all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims under or in respect thereto (whether arising pursuant to the terms thereof or otherwise available to the Borrower at law or equity), including the right to enforce each such Facility Document and to give or withhold any and all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, extensions or waivers under or with respect thereto, to the same extent as the Borrower could but for the assignment and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement;

(v) all cash or Money in possession of the Borrower or delivered to the Collateral Agent (or its bailee);

(vi) all securities, loans and investments and, in each case as defined in the UCC, accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, instruments, financial assets, investment property, general intangibles, letter-of-credit rights, commercial tort claims, documents, goods, letters of credit, money, oil, gas or other minerals before extraction, and supporting obligations of the Borrower, and all other property of any type or nature in which the Borrower has an interest (including the equity interests of each subsidiary of the Borrower), and all property of the Borrower which is delivered to the Collateral Agent by or on behalf of the Borrower (whether or not constituting Collateral Loans or Eligible Investments);

(vii) all Liens, property, guaranties, supporting obligations, insurance and other agreements or arrangements of whatever character from time to time supporting or securing payment of the assets, investments and properties described above; and

(viii) all Proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

(b) All terms used in this Section 7.01 but not defined in Section 1.01 shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the UCC as applicable.

Section 7.02 Release of Security Interest. Upon the Collection Date or pursuant to Section 8.08, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall, at the expense of the Borrower, promptly execute, deliver and file or authorize for filing such instruments as the Borrower shall prepare and reasonably request in order to reassign, release or terminate the Secured Parties’ security interest in the Collateral. The Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that upon the sale or disposition of any Collateral by the Borrower in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the security interest of the Secured Parties in such Collateral shall automatically and immediately terminate and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall, at the expense of the Borrower, execute, deliver and file or authorize for filing such instrument as the Borrower shall prepare and reasonably request to reflect or evidence such termination. Any and all actions under this Article VII in respect of the Collateral shall be without any recourse to, or representation or warranty by any Secured Party and shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.

Section 7.03 Rights and Remedies. Subject to Section 6.03, the Collateral Agent (for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties) shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other Applicable Law. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default but subject to Section 6.03, the Collateral Agent or its designees shall, at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders acting through the Administrative Agent, (a) instruct the Borrower to deliver any or all of the Collateral, the Related Documents and any other document relating to the Collateral to the Collateral Agent or its

-123-

designees and otherwise give all instructions for the Borrower regarding the Collateral; (b) sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner, all without judicial process or proceedings; (c) take control of the Proceeds of any such Collateral; (d) subject to the provisions of the applicable Related Documents, exercise any consensual or voting rights in respect of the Collateral; (e) release, make extensions, discharges, exchanges or substitutions for, or surrender all or any part of the Collateral; (f) enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral; (g) institute and prosecute legal and equitable proceedings to enforce collection of, or realize upon, any of the Collateral; (h) require that the Borrower immediately take all actions necessary to cause the liquidation of the Collateral in order to pay all amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations, in accordance with the terms of the Related Documents; (i) redeem any asset of the Borrower to pay amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations; (j) make copies of all books, records and documents relating to the Collateral; and (k) endorse the name of the Borrower upon any items of payment relating to the Collateral or upon any proof of claim in bankruptcy against an account debtor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder waive all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent arising out of the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent of any of their rights under this Section 7.03, except for any claims, damages and demands it may have against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent arising from the wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or their affiliates, or any agents or employees of the foregoing.

The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the request of either Agent or the Majority Lenders (acting through the Administrative Agent), it shall execute all documents and agreements which are necessary or appropriate to have the Collateral to be assigned to the Collateral Agent or its designee. For purposes of taking the actions described in clauses (a) through (k) of this Section 7.03 the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment being coupled with an interest and is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid), with power of substitution, in the name of the Collateral Agent or in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Collateral Agent, but at the cost and expense of the Borrower and, except as expressly required by Applicable Law, without notice to the Borrower.

Each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such item of Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of being a private sale.

-124-

Each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder further agrees that a breach of any of their covenants contained in this Section 7.03 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 7.03 shall be specifically enforceable against the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder, and each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under this Agreement or any defense relating to the Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Pursuant to the UCC, each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder hereby specifically agrees (x) that it shall not raise any objection to any Secured Party’s purchase of the Collateral (through bidding on the obligations or otherwise) and (y) that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in the no action letters promulgated by the SEC staff (1) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of the UCC, (2) shall be considered commercially reasonable notwithstanding that the Secured Party has not registered or sought to register the Collateral under the Securities Act, even if the Borrower agrees to pay all costs of the registration process, and (3) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that the Secured Party purchases the Collateral at such a sale.

Each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any Collateral sold by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement. Each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall have the right to conduct, and shall not incur any liability as a result of, the sale of any Collateral, or any part thereof, at any sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, it being agreed by the parties hereto that some or all of the Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily in value. The Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder hereby waive any claims against the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any of the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement, even if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent accepts the first bid received and does not offer any Collateral to more than one bidder, provided that Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent has acted in a commercially reasonable manner in conducting such private sale. Without in any way limiting the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s right to conduct a foreclosure sale in any manner which is considered commercially reasonable, each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder hereby agrees that any foreclosure sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale, and each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder hereby irrevocably waives any right to contest any such sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions:

(1) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent conducts such foreclosure sale in the State of New York;

-125-

(2) such foreclosure sale is conducted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York;

(3) not more than thirty days before, and not less than three (3) Business Days in advance of such foreclosure sale, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent notifies the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder at the address set forth herein of the time and place of such foreclosure sale; and

(4) the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder are subject to terms and conditions in such foreclosure sale that in no respect are worse than the terms and conditions applicable to the other foreclosure sale participants.

In connection with any proposed sale of the Collateral directly or indirectly by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent following an Event of Default, the Equityholder, the Collateral Manager and their respective Affiliates shall have the right to purchase any or all of the Collateral, in each case by paying to the Collateral Agent in immediately available funds, an amount equal to all outstanding Obligations. If the Equityholder, the Collateral Manager and their respective Affiliates fail to exercise this purchase right within ten (10) days following the earlier of acceleration of the Obligations or notice of such proposed sale, then such contractual rights shall be irrevocably forfeited by the Equityholder, the Collateral Manager and all Affiliates thereof, but nothing herein shall prevent the Equityholder, the Collateral Manager or their respective Affiliates from bidding at any sale of such Collateral. Neither the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent nor any Lender may cause the final liquidation or disposition of the Collateral Loans to occur during the time that the Collateral Manager, the Equityholder and their respective Affiliates are entitled to exercise this purchase right pursuant to this Section 7.03.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.03 to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall be under no duty or obligation to take any affirmative action to exercise or enforce any power, right or remedy available to it under this Agreement unless and to the extent expressly so directed by the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders, as applicable; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party if such action would, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Agent (x) be in violation of or contrary to applicable law or any provisions of this Agreement or other Facility Document or (y) expose the Collateral Agent to liability unless it has received reasonably satisfactory indemnity with respect thereto.

All sums paid or advanced by the Collateral Agent in connection with the foregoing and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Post-Default Rate from the date of payment until repaid in full, shall be paid by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent from time to time on demand in accordance with the Priority of Payments and shall constitute and become a part of the Obligations secured hereby.

Section 7.04 Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of the Agents and the other Secured Parties, or any of them, as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy

-126-

provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by either of the Agents or any other Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such Persons of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.

Section 7.05 Related Documents. (a) Each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager hereby agrees that, to the extent not expressly prohibited by the terms of the Related Documents, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it shall (i) upon the written request of either Agent, promptly forward to such Person all material information and notices which it receives under or in connection with the Related Documents relating to the Collateral, (ii) upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, promptly forward to the Administrative Agent any reasonably requested information relating to any specified Collateral Loans and (iii) act (or continue to refrain from acting) in respect of any request, act, decision or vote under or in connection with the Related Documents relating to the Collateral only in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent (in its reasonable discretion).

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

Section 7.06 Borrower Remains Liable. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Borrower shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in and relating to the Collateral (including the Related Documents) to the extent set forth therein, and shall perform all of its duties and obligations under such contracts and agreements to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, and (ii) the exercise by any Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under any such contracts or agreements included in the Collateral.

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

Section 7.07 Protection of Collateral. The Borrower shall from time to time execute, deliver, file and/or authorize the filing of all UCC-1 financing statements and continuation statements (including, but not limited to UCC-3 financing statements) and the equivalent thereof in any applicable foreign jurisdiction, if applicable, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action as may be necessary or advisable to secure the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder and to:

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

-127-

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

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

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

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

(f) pay or cause to be paid any and all Taxes levied or assessed upon all or any part of the Collateral unless the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been established.

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

The Collateral Agent shall deposit promptly upon receipt thereof all other amounts remitted to the Collection Account into the Principal Collection Account including, in addition to the deposits required pursuant to Section 8.06(a), all Principal Proceeds (unless simultaneously reinvested in additional Collateral Loans in accordance with Article X or in Eligible Investments or required to be deposited in the Revolving Reserve Account pursuant to Section 8.04) received by the Collateral Agent and identified as such by the Collateral Manager.

-129-

Collateral Loans or make a Permitted Distribution or Permitted RIC Distribution in accordance with such certificate, email or trade ticket. At any time as of which sufficient funds are not on deposit in the Revolving Reserve Account, the Borrower, or the Collateral Manager, acting on behalf of the Borrower, may, by delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager, direct the Collateral Agent to, and upon receipt of such certificate the Collateral Agent shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account representing Principal Proceeds and remit such funds as so directed by the Collateral Manager to meet the Borrower’s funding obligations in respect of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans or Revolving Collateral Loans.

The Payment Date Report shall constitute instructions to the Collateral Agent to withdraw funds from the Collection Account and pay or transfer such amounts set forth therein in the manner specified and in accordance with Section 9.01(a).

Section 8.03 Payment Account. In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Borrower shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Securities Intermediary a single, segregated account in the name of the Borrower, subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent, which shall be designated as the “Payment Account,” which shall be maintained by the Borrower with the Securities Intermediary in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and which shall be subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent.

The Borrower shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Payment Account other than in accordance with this Agreement and the Priority of Payments. Amounts on deposit in the Payment Account will not be invested.

Section 8.04 The Revolving Reserve Account; Fundings. In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Borrower shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Securities Intermediary the “Revolving Reserve Account”, which shall consist of five segregated accounts, one of which will be designated as the “AUD Revolving Reserve Account,” one of which will be designated as the “CAD Revolving Reserve Account,” one of which will be designated as the “EUR Revolving Reserve Account,” one of which will be designated as the “GBP Revolving Reserve Account,” and one of which will be designated as the “USD Revolving Reserve Account,” all of which shall be maintained by the Borrower with the Securities Intermediary in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and which shall be in the name of the Borrower and subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent.

The Borrower shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Revolving Reserve Account other than in accordance with this Agreement and the Priority of Payments.

-130-

During the Reinvestment Period, fundings of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans shall be made using, first, amounts on deposit in the Revolving Reserve Account, then available Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account and finally, available Advances. On the Facility Termination Date, to the extent the amount of funds on deposit in the Revolving Reserve Account are less than the Revolving Exposure, (x) the Borrower shall request a final Advance in an amount sufficient to fund the Revolving Reserve Account in an amount equal to the Revolving Exposure; provided that after giving effect to such Advance, the aggregate principal amount of the Advances then outstanding shall not exceed the Maximum Available Amount, and/or (y) the Borrower shall deposit other available funds into the Revolving Reserve Account in an amount sufficient to fund the Revolving Reserve Account in an amount equal to the Revolving Exposure. After the Facility Termination Date, fundings of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans shall be made using, first, amounts on deposit in the Revolving Reserve Account, and then available Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, after the Facility Termination Date, all Principal Proceeds received with respect to Revolving Collateral Loans shall be deposited into the Revolving Reserve Account to the extent necessary so that such proceeds may be re-borrowed by the related Obligor.

Amounts on deposit in the Revolving Reserve Account will be invested in overnight funds that are Eligible Investments selected by the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 8.06 and earnings from all such investments will be deposited in the Interest Collection Account as Interest Proceeds. Funds in the Revolving Reserve Account (other than earnings from Eligible Investments therein) will be available solely to cover drawdowns on the Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans and settle purchases of Collateral Loans committed to be acquired by the Borrower prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period; provided that, to the extent that the aggregate amount of funds on deposit therein at any time exceeds an amount equal to the Revolving Exposure, the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall remit such excess to the Principal Collection Account. In addition, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, funds in the Revolving Reserve Account may be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent and deposited into the Principal Collection Account pursuant to and at the direction of the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.05 [Reserved].

Section 8.06 Reinvestment of Funds in Covered Accounts; Reports by Collateral Agent. (a) By delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer (which may be in the form of standing instructions), the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) shall at all times direct the Collateral Agent to, and, upon receipt of such certificate, the Collateral Agent shall, in accordance with such direction, (i) invest all funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Revolving Reserve Account in Eligible Investments having stated maturities no later than the Business Day preceding the next Payment Date (or such other maturities expressly provided herein, including Section 8.04 above) or (ii) withdraw such funds for the purposes of making payments in respect of outstanding Advances in the applicable Available Currency at such time. If, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Collateral Manager shall not have given any such investment directions, the Collateral Agent shall invest and reinvest such Monies as fully as practicable in the Specified Eligible Investment (or if none has been selected or the Specified

-131-

Eligible Investment is unavailable, shall remain uninvested). After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall invest and reinvest such Monies as fully as practicable in Eligible Investments selected by the Administrative Agent (and if no Eligible Investment has been specified, such funds shall be invested in the Specified Eligible Investment, or held uninvested if none has been selected or the Specified Eligible Investment is unavailable). Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise herein, all interest, gain, loss and other income from such investments shall be deposited, credited or charged (as applicable) in and to the Interest Collection Account. Absent its timely receipt of such instruction from the Collateral Manager in accordance with the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall not be under an obligation to invest (or pay interest on) funds held hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall in no way be liable for any insufficiency in a Covered Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment.

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

(c) The Collateral Agent shall supply, in a timely fashion, to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager any information regularly maintained by the Collateral Agent that the Borrower or the Collateral Manager may from time to time reasonably request with respect to the Collateral, the Covered Accounts and the other Collateral and provide any other requested information reasonably available to the Collateral Agent and required to be provided by Section 8.07 or to permit the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations hereunder or the Borrower’s obligations hereunder that have been delegated to the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Agent shall promptly forward to the Collateral Manager copies of notices and other writings received by it from the Obligor of any Collateral Loan or from any Clearing Agency with respect to any Collateral Loan which notices or writings advise the holders of such Collateral Loan of any rights that the holders might have with respect thereto (including requests to vote with respect to amendments or waivers and notices of prepayments and redemptions) as well as all periodic financial reports received from such Obligor and Clearing Agency with respect to such Obligor.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 10.03, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) may, but will not be required to, direct the Collateral Agent to sell, and the Collateral Agent shall sell in the manner directed by the Collateral Manager, any Collateral Loan if such sale meets the requirements set forth below (as shown in the Borrowing Base Calculation Statement delivered with respect thereto in accordance with Section 5.02(d)(iii)):

(i) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result upon giving effect thereto; provided that the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) may sell one or more Collateral Loans (on the same Business Day) if after giving effect thereto and the application of the proceeds thereof any existing Default or Event of Default would be cured;

(ii) upon giving effect thereto and the application of the proceeds thereof, the Collateral Quality Test is satisfied (or, if not satisfied immediately prior to such sale, compliance with such Collateral Quality Test is maintained or improved); and

(iii) the Administrative Agent has provided prior written consent to such sale, if

-140-

(B) [Reserved];

(C) the proceeds from such proposed sale would be less than the Adjusted Principal Balance of such Collateral Loan (unless the proceeds from such proposed sale would equal the original purchase price plus any related original issue discount with respect so such Collateral Loan); or

(D) after giving effect to such proposed sale, the Aggregate Principal Balance of all Collateral Loans sold or disposed of by the Borrower during the immediately preceding twelve calendar months (or since the Closing Date, if the Trade Date of such proposed sale would occur earlier than twelve calendar months following the Closing Date) would be greater than 30% of the average Aggregate Adjusted Collateral Balance over such period;

provided that the restriction in clauses (iii)(C) and (D) above in this Section 10.01(a) shall not apply to sales of Defaulted Collateral Loans, Ineligible Collateral Loans or Warranty Collateral Loans (as defined in the Loan Sale Agreement).

Notwithstanding anything above that would otherwise prohibit the sale of a Collateral Loan after the occurrence or during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, if the Borrower entered into an agreement to sell any such Collateral prior to the occurrence of such Default or an Event of Default, but such sale did not settle prior to the occurrence of such Default or an Event of Default, then the Borrower shall be permitted to consummate such sale notwithstanding the occurrence of such Default or an Event of Default; provided that the settlement for such sale occurs within the customary settlement period for similar trades.

(b) [Reserved.]

(c) Sales of Equity Securities. The Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) may sell any Equity Security at any time without restriction, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the sale of any Equity Security, regardless of price, within forty-five (45) days of receipt if such Equity Security constitutes Margin Stock, unless such sale is prohibited by Applicable Law or contract, in which case such Equity Security should be sold as soon as such sale is permitted by Applicable Law or contract.

Section 10.02 Purchase of Additional Collateral Loans. (a) On any date during the Reinvestment Period, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) may, if each of the conditions specified in this Section 10.02 and Section 10.04 are met, invest Principal Proceeds (and accrued interest received with respect to any Collateral Loan to the extent used to pay for accrued interest on additional Collateral Loans and other amounts on deposit in the Principal Collection Account) in additional Collateral Loans on the current Approved List or subject to an Approval Request or to fund a Revolving Exposure; provided that no Collateral Loan (excluding subsequent draws under Revolving Collateral Loans or Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans) may be purchased unless each of the following conditions are satisfied as of the date the Collateral Manager commits on behalf of the Borrower to make such purchase, and after giving effect to such purchase, and all other sales or purchases previously or simultaneously committed to:

(i) With respect to a purchase of an additional Collateral Loan, the Borrower shall have delivered and the Administrative Agent shall have approved an Approval Request with respect to the Collateral Loan pursuant to the terms of Section 2.02;

-141-

(ii) such obligation is an Eligible Collateral Loan;

(iii) the Coverage Test and the Collateral Quality Test are satisfied (or, if not satisfied immediately prior to such investment, compliance with such Coverage Test and/or Collateral Quality Test is maintained or improved); and

(iv) more than 50% of the Collateral Loans (by nominal amount) held by the Borrower will be Retention Holder Originated Collateral Loans or, if not, the purchase of the relevant additional Collateral Loan is a purchase of a Retention Holder Originated Collateral Loan.

Section 10.03 Conditions Applicable to All Sale and Purchase Transactions. (a) Any transaction effected under this Article X (other than sales required by Section 10.01(c) or pursuant to Section 10.05) or in connection with the acquisition of additional Collateral Loans if effected with a Person that is the Equityholder or an Affiliate thereof (or with an account or portfolio for which the Equityholder or any of its Affiliates serves as investment adviser), shall be, in each case except as otherwise expressly permitted under the Facility Documents, (i) for fair market value as determined by the Collateral Manager in accordance with the Collateral Manager Standard, (ii) in compliance with Section 5.03(h), (iii) effected in accordance with all Applicable Laws, (iv) the Principal Balance of all Equityholder Collateral Loans (other than Warranty Collateral Loans) substituted or sold by the Borrower to the Equityholder or an Affiliate thereof may not exceed 20% of the Equityholder Purchased Loan Balance measured as of the date of such sale or dividend, (v) the Principal Balance of all Equityholder Collateral Loans (other than Warranty Collateral Loans) that are Defaulted Collateral Loans substituted or sold by the Borrower to the Equityholder or an Affiliate thereof may not exceed 10% of the Equityholder Purchased Loan Balance measured as of the date of such sale or dividend, and (vi) shall be made pursuant to a loan sale agreement or other transfer documentation with respect to which the representations, warranties and covenants by the Borrower therein are customary as reasonably determined by the Collateral Manager in accordance with the Collateral Manager Standard and with respect to which, if such agreement governs sales to the Borrower, the Borrower has delivered a customary “true sale” opinion from nationally recognized counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be the “true sale” opinion delivered on the Closing Date).

(b) Upon each acquisition by the Borrower of a Collateral Loan, (i) all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest to such Collateral Loan shall be subject to the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) such Collateral Loan shall be Delivered to the Collateral Agent.

Section 10.04 Additional Equity Contributions. (a) The Equityholder may, but shall have no obligation to, at any time or from time to time make a capital contribution to the Borrower for any purpose, including for the purpose of curing any Default, satisfying any Coverage Test, enabling the acquisition or sale of any Collateral Loan or satisfying any conditions under Section 3.02.

Without limiting the foregoing, the duties of the Collateral Manager shall include the following:

(iv) promptly delivering to the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Custodian, from time to time, such information and servicing records (including information relating to its performance under this Agreement) as the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Custodian or the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request and which can be obtained without any undue burden or expense pursuant to the Related Documents;

-144-

(v) identifying each Collateral Loan in its internal servicing records to reflect the ownership of such Collateral Loan by the Borrower;

(vi) notifying the Administrative Agent and each Lender of any material action, suit, proceeding, dispute, offset, deduction, defense or counterclaim that is or is threatened to be asserted by an Obligor with respect to any Collateral Loan (or portion thereof) of which it has actual knowledge or has received notice;

(ix) assisting the Borrower with respect to the purchase and sale of and payment for the Collateral Loans and Eligible Investments;

(x) instructing any agent or administrative agent for each Collateral Loan to remit all payments and collections with respect to such Collateral Loan (and, if an Obligor may make payments directly to the lenders under the Related Documents, to direct the Obligor with respect to such Collateral Loan to remit all such payments and collections with respect to such Collateral Loan) directly into the Collection Account;

(xi) delivering assignments and promissory notes to the Custodian;

(xii) complying with such other duties and responsibilities as may be required of the Collateral Manager by this Agreement; and

(xiii) assisting in the acquisition and sale of Collateral Loans and other Collateral in accordance with Article X and the Collateral Manager Standard;

provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Collateral Manager nor the Borrower shall be required to provide to any Agent, the Custodian or Lender any documents or information that the disclosure of which would violate any confidentiality agreement or restriction.

It is acknowledged and agreed that in circumstances in which a Person other than the Borrower or the Collateral Manager acts as lead agent with respect to any Collateral Loan, the Collateral Manager shall perform its servicing duties hereunder only to the extent a lender under the applicable Related Documents has the right to do so.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties of their rights hereunder shall not release the Collateral Manager or the Borrower from any of their duties or responsibilities with respect to the Collateral. The Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Collateral Manager hereunder.

-145-

(c) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to the Borrower shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be applied as a collection of a payment by such Obligor (starting with the oldest such outstanding payment due, provided such obligation is not on non-accrual) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

(d) The Collateral Manager agrees to supervise and assist in the investment and reinvestment of the Collateral, and shall perform on behalf of the Borrower the duties that have been expressly delegated to the Collateral Manager in this Agreement and any other Facility Document (and the Collateral Manager shall have no obligation to perform any other duties hereunder or otherwise) and, to the extent necessary or appropriate to perform such duties, the Collateral Manager shall have the power to execute and deliver all necessary and appropriate documents and instruments on behalf of the Borrower with respect thereto. The Collateral Manager shall comply with the terms and conditions hereof and any other Facility Document expressly applicable to it, in its capacity as the Collateral Manager, or otherwise affecting the duties and functions that have been delegated to it thereunder and hereunder as the Collateral Manager and shall perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder act in good faith and exercise reasonable care, using a degree of skill and attention no less than that which the Collateral Manager exercises with respect to comparable assets that it manages for itself and for others having similar investment objectives and restrictions substantially in accordance with its existing practices and procedures relating to assets of the nature and character of the Collateral Loans (such standard of care, the “Collateral Manager Standard”).

Section 11.03 Authorization of the Collateral Manager. (a) Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby authorizes the Collateral Manager (including any successor thereto) to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable in the determination of the Collateral Manager and not inconsistent with the grant by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties hereunder, to collect all amounts due under any and all Collateral, including, endorsing any of their names on checks and other instruments representing Collections, executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral and, after the delinquency of any Collateral and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof. The Borrower and the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall furnish the Collateral Manager (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Collateral Manager to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. In case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent may request instructions from the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, prior to the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, or the Administrative Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any actions unless it has received instruction from the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable.

-146-

In no event shall the Collateral Manager be entitled to make any Secured Party a party to any litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make the Borrower a party to any litigation (other than any routine foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s consent.

(b) The Administrative Agent may, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notify any Obligor with respect to any Collateral of the assignment of such Collateral to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or account designated by the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may enforce collection of any such Collateral, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

Section 11.04 Collection Efforts, Modification of Collateral.

(a) The Collateral Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts to collect, or cause to be collected, all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Collateral Loans included in the Collateral as and when the same become due, all in accordance with the Collateral Manager Standard.

(b) In the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) may enter into any amendment or waiver of or supplement to any Related Document; provided that, subject to Section 6.03, the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or an Event of Default or Default would result from such amendment, waiver or supplement. For the avoidance of doubt, any Collateral Loan that, as a result of any amendment or supplement thereto, ceases to qualify as an Eligible Collateral Loan shall not be included in the Borrowing Base.

Section 11.05 The Collateral Manager Not to Resign. The Collateral Manager shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon the Collateral Manager’s determination that (a) the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and (b) there is no reasonable action that the Collateral Manager could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Collateral Manager shall be evidenced as to clause (a) above by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Lender.

Section 11.06 Collateral Manager Compensation. As compensation for its activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses, the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to be paid the Collateral Management Fee and reimbursed its expenses as provided in the Priority of Payments. If and to the extent that there are insufficient funds to pay any Collateral Management Fee in full on any Payment Date or if any Collateral Management Fee has accrued but is not yet due and payable, the amount due or accrued and unpaid will be deferred and will be payable on such later Payment Date on which funds are available in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

ARTICLE XII

THE AGENTS

Section 12.01 Authorization and Action. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and, to the extent applicable, the other Facility Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, subject to the terms hereof. No Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Facility Documents to which it is a party or any fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties or obligations or liabilities on the part of such Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Facility Document to which such Agent is a party (if any) as duties on its part to be performed or observed. No Agent shall have or be construed to have any other duties or responsibilities in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Facility Documents, no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Majority Lenders (or, with respect to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent); provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes such Agent, in its judgment, to personal liability, cost or expense or which is contrary to this Agreement, the other Facility Documents or Applicable Law, or would be, in its judgment, contrary to its duties hereunder, under any other Facility Document or under Applicable Law. Each Lender agrees that in any instance in which the Facility Documents provide that the Administrative Agent’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld, provide for the exercise of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, or provide to a similar effect, it shall not in its instructions (or by refusing to provide instruction) to the Administrative Agent withhold its consent or exercise its discretion in an unreasonable manner.

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

-148-

(c) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any officer, agent or representative thereof shall be personally liable for any action taken by any such Person in accordance with any direction, instruction or notice given by the Majority Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Facility Document even if, at the time such action is taken by any such Person, the Majority Lenders, or Persons purporting to be the Majority Lenders, are not entitled to give such direction, instruction or notice, except where the Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge (without any duty of inquiry or investigation on its part) that the Majority Lenders, or Persons purporting to be the Majority Lenders, are not entitled to give such direction, instruction or notice. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any direction, instruction or notice provided by the Administrative Agent as if provided by the requisite Lenders authorized to provide such direction, instruction or notice hereunder. If any dispute or disagreement shall arise as to the allocation of any sum of money received by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any Facility Document, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver such sum to a court of competent jurisdiction and therein commence an action for interpleader.

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

Section 12.02 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Facility Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care other than any Affiliates of such Agent.

Section 12.03 Agents’ Reliance, Etc. (a) Neither Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Collateral Manager or any of their Affiliates) and independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Secured Party or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any Person for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Facility Documents; (iii) shall not have any duty to monitor, ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, the other Facility Documents or any Related Document or any notice, consent, certificate, instruction or waiver, report, statement,

-149-

opinion, direction or other instrument or writing on the part of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, perfection, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Collateral (or the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens on the Collateral), this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, any Related Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document by relying on, acting upon (or by refraining from action in reliance on) any notice, consent, certificate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowing Base Calculation Statement), instruction or waiver, report, statement, opinion, direction or other instrument or writing (which may be delivered by telecopier, email, cable or telex, if acceptable to it) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed or sent by the proper party or parties; (vi) shall not be responsible to any Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties regarding the Borrower or the Collateral or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of thereof or any such other document or the financial condition of any Person or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions related to any Person or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; and (vii) shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any Person to assure that any collateral exists or is owned by any Person or is cared for, protected or insured or that any liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available with respect thereto. No Agent shall have any liability to the Borrower or any Lender or any other Person for the Borrower’s, the Collateral Manager’s, any Lender’s or any other Person’s, as the case may be, performance of, or failure to perform, any of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Facility Document.

(b) No Agent shall be liable for the actions or omissions of any other Agent (including concerning the application of funds) or other party to a Facility Document, or under any duty to monitor or investigate compliance on the part of any other Agent or other party to a Facility Document with the terms or requirements of this Agreement, any Facility Document or any Related Document, or their duties hereunder or thereunder. Each Agent shall be entitled to assume the due authority of any signatory and genuineness of any signature appearing on any instrument or document it may receive (including each Notice of Borrowing received hereunder) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action (including for refusing to exercise discretion or for withholding its consent in the absence of its receipt of, or resulting from a failure, delay or refusal on the part of the Majority Lenders to provide, written instruction to exercise such discretion or grant such consent from the Majority Lenders, as applicable). No Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless it shall be proven by a final, non-appealable judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the relevant facts. Nothing herein or in any Facility

-150-

Document or Related Document shall obligate any Agent to advance, expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action which in its reasonable judgment may cause it to incur any expense or financial or other liability for which it is not adequately indemnified. No Agent shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including diminution in value or lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action. No Agent shall be charged with knowledge or notice of any matter unless actually known to a Responsible Officer of such Agent, or, subject to Section 12.03(d) below, unless and to the extent written notice of such matter is received by such Agent at its address in accordance with Section 13.02. Any permissive grant of power to an Agent hereunder shall not be construed to be a duty to act. Each Agent shall have only the duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no covenants, duties or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement against any Agent. Before acting hereunder, an Agent shall be entitled to request, receive and rely upon such certificates and opinions as it may reasonably determine appropriate with respect to the satisfaction of any specified circumstances or conditions precedent to such action. Neither Agent shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper, electronic communication or document. Neither Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except in the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.

(c) No Agent shall be responsible or liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics disease, pandemics, quarantine, national emergency, governmental regulations imposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, loss or malfunction of utilities, communications or computers (software and hardware) services, earthquakes or other disasters, national emergency, malware or ransomware attack, unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex system or other applicable wire or funds transfer system, or unavailability of any securities clearing system.

(d) The delivery of reports and other documents and information to the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Facility Document is for informational purposes only and the Collateral Agent’s receipt of such documents and information shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver the other Facility Documents to which it is a party. Whether or not expressly stated in such Facility Documents, in performing (or refraining from acting) thereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights, benefits, protections and indemnities which are afforded to it in this Agreement.

(e) Each Lender acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Agent has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by either Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Secured Party as to any matter. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon such Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the

Except for performing the obligations expressly imposed on the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or responsibility for ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or taking any steps to preserve rights against prior parties or other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

(j) In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, the Collateral Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Collateral Agent. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto agrees to provide to the Collateral Agent upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available to such party in order to enable the Collateral Agent to comply with such requirements.

-154-

(l) The Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to determine if a Collateral Loan meets the criteria specified in the definition of Eligible Collateral Loan or if the requirements set forth in the definition of “Deliver” have been satisfied.

(m) The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of any Interest Rate (or any other applicable index, floating rate, interest rate or Benchmark Replacement), or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Transition Start Date or Benchmark Unavailability Period, (ii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement or other alternate benchmark rate, or other successor or replacement rate, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, or (iii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or other modifier to any Benchmark Replacement or other replacement or successor rate or index, or (iv) to determine whether or what Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing.

(n) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Agreement as a result of the unavailability of any Interest Rate (or any Benchmark Replacement or other applicable index, floating rate or Base Rate) and absence of any Benchmark Replacement or other replacement index or floating rate, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party, including without limitation the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement and reasonably required for the performance of such duties.

Section 12.07 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If an Agent notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party such Lender (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that such Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from such Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal,

-155-

interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of such Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of such Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the relevant Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to such Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of an Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party such Lender, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from an Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by such Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by such Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i) (1) in the case of immediately preceding clause (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from such Agent to the contrary) or (2) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify such Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.07(b)(ii).

(c) Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes each Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Facility Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by such Agent to such Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to such Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or Secured Party by an Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender or other Secured Party hereby authorizes each Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or other Secured Party under any Facility Document or otherwise payable by such Agent to such Lender or other Secured Party from any other source against any amount due to such Agent under this Section 12.07(c).

-156-

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the related Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by such Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon such Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Advances”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as such Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Advances (but not its Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with any assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any promissory notes evidencing such Advances to the Borrower or the applicable Agent, (ii) the applicable Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the applicable Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register the relevant Agent’s ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The applicable Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the applicable Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount of any Lender and such Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the applicable Agent has sold an Advance (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether such Agent may be equitably subrogated, such Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or Secured Party under the Facility Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency.

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the related Agent or applicable Lender from the Borrower for the purpose of making payment in respect of the Obligations.

-157-

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by an Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 12.07(g) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Maximum Facility Amount and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations (or any portion thereof).

ARTICLE XIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 13.01 No Waiver; Modifications in Writing. (a) No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Party exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, and any consent to any departure by any party to this Agreement or any other Facility Document from the terms of any provision of this Agreement or such other Facility Document, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower or the Collateral Manager in any case shall entitle the Borrower or the Collateral Manager to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) No amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders (with prior notice to the Collateral Agent); provided that:

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

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

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with the increase of the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts hereunder, only the consent of the Lender increasing its Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount (or providing a new Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount) shall be required for any amendment that effects such increase in Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount of any Defaulting

-158-

Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Section 13.02 Notices, Etc. Except where telephonic instructions are authorized herein to be given, all notices, demands, instructions and other communications required or permitted to be given to or made upon any party hereto shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by registered, certified or express mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission, or by prepaid courier service, or by electronic mail (of a .pdf or other similar file if the recipient has provided an email address in Schedule 5), and shall be deemed to be given for purposes of this Agreement on the day that such writing is received by the intended recipient thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.02. Unless otherwise specified in a notice sent or delivered in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.02, notices, demands, instructions and other communications in writing shall be given to or made upon the respective parties hereto at their respective addresses (or to their respective facsimile numbers or email addresses) indicated in Schedule 5, and, in the case of telephonic instructions or notices, by calling the telephone number or numbers indicated for such party in Schedule 5.

U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association and U.S. Bank National Association (collectively, “U.S. Bank”) agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement, any other Facility Document, or any Related Document or any document executed in connection herewith or therewith sent by unsecured email (or a .pdf or other similar file), facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that any person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to U.S. Bank an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to provide such instructions or directions as such incumbency certificate may be supplemented from time to time. If any person elects to give U.S. Bank email or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and U.S. Bank in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, U.S. Bank’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. U.S. Bank shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from U.S. 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 or directions acknowledges and agrees that there may be more secure methods of transmitting such instructions than the method(s) selected by it and agrees that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of such instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances.

Section 13.03 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Facility Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any and all Taxes with respect thereto, unless required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, then the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent 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 Borrower shall be increased

-159-

as may be necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 13.03) the applicable Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) The Borrower agrees to 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.

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Secured Party, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 13.03) payable or paid by any Secured Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Secured Party and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Secured Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Secured Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally 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 Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.06(c)(ii) 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 Facility Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Facility Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 13.03(d).

(e) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 13.03, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of payment as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) If any Secured Party in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith, determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes with respect to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 13.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 13.03(a)), such Secured Party shall reimburse the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager, as applicable) such amount received (net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred), but only to

-160-

the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that in the event that such Secured Party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority, the Borrower agrees to return the refund to such Secured Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.03(f), in no event will any Secured Party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 13.03(f) the payment of which would place such Secured Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Secured Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall any Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender, as the case may be. 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.

(g) (i) Any Secured Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Facility Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Secured Party, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Secured Party 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 Sections 13.03(g)(ii), (iii) and (v) below) shall not be required if in the Secured Party’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Secured Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Secured Party.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of Section 13.03(g)(i), each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall, 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 Borrower or any Agent), deliver to the Borrower and each Agent, two accurate, complete and signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

-161-

(iii) Any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and each Agent, 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 Borrower or any Agent), two accurate, complete and signed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Facility Document, executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Facility Document, U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(B) executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI;

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable); or

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

(iv) Each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agents (in such number of copies as shall be 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 Borrower or any Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Agents to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(v) If a payment made to a Secured Party under any Facility Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Secured Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Secured Party shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the

-162-

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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Secured Party has complied with such Secured Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 13.03(g)(v), “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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) If any Lender requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to such Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender pursuant to this Section 13.03, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such Lender determines, in its sole discretion that such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 13.03 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 13.03 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 Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Facility Document.

Section 13.04 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower agrees to promptly pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the preparation, review, negotiation, reproduction, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one outside counsel and one local counsel for the Administrative Agent and one outside counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for the Collateral Agent, costs and expenses of creating, perfecting, releasing or enforcing the Collateral Agent’s security interests in the Collateral, including filing and recording fees, expenses, search fees, UCC filing fees and the equivalent thereof in any foreign jurisdiction, if applicable, and all other related fees and expenses in connection therewith; and in connection with the administration and any waiver, consent, modification or amendment or similar agreement in respect of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Facility Document and advising the Agents and Lenders as to their respective rights, remedies and responsibilities; provided, that, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall not be responsible for out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lenders in connection with documenting the Facility that exceed $300,000. The Borrower agrees to promptly pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each of the Secured Parties in connection with

-163-

the enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Facility Document, including all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preservation, collection, foreclosure or enforcement of the Collateral subject to the Facility Documents or any interest, right, power or remedy of the Collateral Agent or in connection with the collection or enforcement of any of the Obligations or the proof, protection, administration or resolution of any claim based upon the Obligations in any insolvency proceeding, including all reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel, accountants, auditors, consultants, appraisers and other professionals engaged by the Collateral Agent; provided that, in each case, there shall be one outside counsel and one local counsel representing such Secured Parties (other than the Collateral Agent, who shall have one primary outside attorney and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) unless any conflict of interest arises. Without prejudice to its rights hereunder, the expenses and the compensation for the services of the Secured Parties are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy law. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 13.04(a) shall not apply to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim, which shall be covered by Section 13.03.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, managers of, and any Person controlling any of, the foregoing (each, a “Related Party” and, together with the relevant Secured Party, each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Liabilities that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, administration of or otherwise arising out of or incurred in connection with this Agreement, any other Facility Document, any Related Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (and regardless of whether or not any such transactions are consummated), (ii) any Advance or contribution by the Equityholder or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by a party hereto, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto; except that the Borrower shall not be liable to the extent any such Liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct; provided that any payment hereunder which relates to Taxes and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and expenses) with respect thereto, or additional sums described in Sections 2.10, 2.11 or 13.03, shall not be covered by this Section 13.04(b).

(c) The Collateral Manager agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Liabilities that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of any one or more of the following: (i) any breach by the Collateral Manager of any covenant or any of its obligations under any Facility Document, (ii) the failure of any of the representations or warranties of the Collateral Manager set forth in any Facility Document or in any certificate, statement or report delivered in connection therewith to be true when made or when deemed made or repeated and (iii) by reason of any gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) on the part of the Collateral Manager in its capacity as Collateral Manager; except the

-164-

Collateral Manager shall not be liable to the extent any such Liability (x) results from the performance or non-performance of the Collateral Loans or (y) is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct; provided that any payment hereunder which relates to taxes, levies, imposes, deductions, charges and withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and expenses) with respect thereto, or additional sums described in Sections 2.10, 2.11 or 13.03, shall not be covered by this Section 13.04(c). The Collateral Manager shall not have any liability hereunder to any Indemnified Party to the extent an Indemnified Party affects any settlement of a matter that is (or could be) subject to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Collateral Manager (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d) The Equityholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Liabilities that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of any one or more of the following: (i) any breach by the Equityholder of any covenant or any of its obligations set forth in Section 13.22 and Section 13.23 and (ii) the failure of any of the representations or warranties of the Equityholder set forth in Section 4.03, Section 13.22 and Section 13.23 or in any certificate, statement or report delivered in connection therewith to be true when made or when deemed made or repeated.

Section 13.05 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 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; provided that no electronic signatures may be affixed through the use of a third-party service provider. 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. 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 13.06 Assignability. (a) Each Lender may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, assign to an assignee all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its outstanding Advances or interests therein owned by it, together with ratable portions of its Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount); provided that:

(i) each of the Borrower’s and the Administrative Agent’s consent to any such assignment (A) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (provided that a Lender may not make any such assignment pursuant to this clause (i)(A) to a Disqualified Institution) and (B) shall not be required if the assignee is a Permitted Assignee with respect to such assignor; and

(ii) the Borrower’s consent to any such assignment pursuant to this Section 13.06(a) shall not be required if (x) an Event of Default shall have occurred (and not been waived by the Lenders in accordance with Section 13.01) or (y) such assignment is required as a result of any Change in Law.

The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) an Assignment and Acceptance and the applicable tax forms required by Section 13.03(g). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 13.06, no assignment by any Lender to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any Disqualified Institution (except if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) shall be permitted.

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

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of, but with notice to, the Borrower, sell participations to Participants in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that (A) such participant is not a Disqualified Lender, (B) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (C) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (D) such Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (E) each Participant shall have agreed to be bound by this Section 13.06(c), Section 13.06(d), Section 13.06(e) and Section 13.17. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any Fundamental Amendment. Sections 2.10, 2.11, and 13.03 shall apply to each Participant as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 13.06 (subject to the requirements and limitations set forth in Section 13.03, including the requirements under Section 13.03(g)); provided that (A) such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 13.03(g) as if it were an assignee under clause (a) of this Section 13.06 and (B) no Participant shall be entitled to any amount under Section 2.10, 2.11, or 13.03 which is greater than the amount the related Lender would have been entitled to under any such Sections or provisions if the applicable participation had not occurred, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater amount results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

-166-

(ii) In the event that any Lender sells participations in any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as nonfiduciary agent for the Borrower shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of all participants in the Advances held by it and the principal amount of (and stated interest on) of the portion of the Advance which is the subject of the participation (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 Facility 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 and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in a Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in such Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of and acting solely for this purpose as the nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address specified in Section 13.02 or such other address as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Lenders, a copy of this Agreement and each signature page hereto and each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the outstanding Advances maintained by each Lender under this Agreement (and any stated interest thereon). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. An Advance (and a Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each Note, if any, shall expressly so provide) and compliance with this Section 13.06. The Administrative Agent shall update and furnish to the Collateral Agent and the Borrower from time to time at the request of the Collateral Agent or the Borrower an updated version of Schedule 1 reflecting the then-current allocation of the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Facility Document, each Lender hereunder, and each Participant, must at all times be a “qualified purchaser” as defined in the Investment Company Act (a “Qualified Purchaser”) and a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “QIB”). Each Lender represents to the Borrower, (i) on the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (whether by being a signatory hereto or by entering into an Assignment and Acceptance) and (ii) on each date on which it makes an Advance hereunder, that it is a Qualified Purchaser and a QIB. Each Lender further agrees that it shall not assign, or grant any participations in, any of its Advances or its Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount to any Person unless (A) such Person shall have represented and agreed in writing that it is a Qualified Purchaser and a QIB at the time of such assignment or participation, (B) such Person agrees that it will be bound by the restrictions on contained in this Section 13.06(e), (C) a copy of any such representations or agreements shall have been furnished to the Borrower and (D) any such representations or agreements shall run to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Borrower.

-167-

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 13.06, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or security interest granted to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 13.14 Right of Setoff; Payments Pro Rata. (a) Subject to Section 9.01(a), if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Facility Document to such Lender or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Facility Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

In the event that the date of prepayment of Advances or the Final Maturity Date shall not be a Business Day, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the nominal date of any such date of prepayment or Final Maturity Date, as the case may be, and interest shall accrue on such payment for the period from and after any such nominal date to but excluding such next succeeding Business Day.

Section 13.17 Limited Recourse; Non-Petition.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Facility Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges and accepts that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under or in connection with any Facility Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest), or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Facility Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of any Facility Document to the extent necessary to give effect to any Bail-In Action in relation to such liability.

Section 13.21 WAIVER OF SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY. To the extent that any of the Borrower, Collateral Manager or Equityholder may be entitled, in any jurisdiction in which judicial proceedings may at any time be commenced with respect to this Agreement or any other Facility Document, to claim for itself or its revenues, assets or properties any immunity from suit, the jurisdiction of any court, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment, set-off, execution of a judgment or any other legal process, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed such immunity (whether or not claimed), each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction and hereby agrees that the foregoing waiver shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States of America, as amended, and is intended to be irrevocable for the purpose of such act.

(a) it will retain, as originator, on an ongoing basis, a material net economic interest in the form specified in paragraph (d) of Article 6(3) of the Securitisation Regulation as in effect as at the date of this Agreement, being retention of the first loss tranche and, if necessary, other tranches having the same or a more severe risk profile than those transferred or sold to investors and not maturing any earlier than those transferred or sold to investors, through maintaining funding to the Borrower under the LPA, in an amount equal to not less than 5% of the Retention Basis Amount (such net economic interest being the “Retention”);

Section 13.23 EU Due Diligence Requirements and Transparency Reports.

(a) The Borrower, the Collateral Manager and Equityholder agrees to make available, promptly upon written request by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Lender which is an EU Institutional Investor (an “EU Lender”) from time to time, any documents, reports and information that is in its possession or that can be obtained by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the Equityholder, as applicable, using its commercially reasonable efforts without material expense (unless such material expense is reimbursed to the Collateral Manager by the Administrative Agent) or extraordinary efforts (unless the costs of those extraordinary efforts are reimbursed to the Collateral Manager by the Administrative Agent) and that can be so provided without breaching any legal or contractual restrictions on disclosure, reasonably requested by the Lender in writing in order to carry out its obligations under the Securitisation Regulation, including under Article 5 of the Securitisation Regulation.

(b) The Borrower agrees to be the designated entity in accordance with Article 7(2) of the Securitisation Regulation (the “Reporting Entity”) and agrees to take all necessary steps required to fulfil the reporting requirements of the Transparency and Reporting Requirements, including but not limited to, making available to the Lenders, any potential Lender (upon request thereby), the Equityholder, any potential Equityholder (upon request thereby) and the competent authorities (as determined under the Securitisation Regulation) (each, a “Relevant Recipient”) the documents, reports and information necessary to fulfill any applicable reporting obligations under the Transparency and Reporting Requirements, commencing no later than the date that is the earlier of (i) 30 days after the first Payment Date and (ii) the date reasonably determined by the Borrower after the Revised Templates are available (or upon such earlier date (to be no earlier than 90 days following the Closing Date) as the Borrower and the Reporting Agents may mutually agree, upon 60 days prior notice (or shorter period agreed to by the Borrower and the Reporting Agent) to the parties heretoof such proposed date from the Borrower) and, in each case, thereafter on a quarterly basis. The Borrower shall also determine (which determination may be made in consultation with the Collateral Manager) whether any reports, data and other

-175-

information is necessary or essential in connection with the preparation of any loan level reports, investor reports and any reports in respect of inside information and significant events (such reports, collectively, the “Transparency Reports”). The Borrower acknowledges that it has separately engaged or will separately engage one or more Reporting Agents to compile the Transparency Reports and provide such reports to the Borrower (or its designee) so that it may be made available by the Borrower in accordance with the Transparency and Reporting Requirements; provided that the Borrower may make the Transparency Reports available via the website of such Reporting Agent which shall be accessible to any person who certifies to the Borrower and the Reporting Agent that it is a Relevant Recipient. The Borrower may (with the consent of the Collateral Manager and at the cost and expense of the Borrower) appoint additional Reporting Agents to prepare, or assist in the preparation of, the Transparency Reports and/or to make such information available to any Relevant Recipients. Without prejudice to their rights hereunder and without accepting any liability, each Lender acknowledges (and each additional Lender shall acknowledge) that the agreed form of the transaction summary as set out in Exhibit E is the transaction summary to be provided to each Lender by the Borrower in accordance with the requirements of Article 7(1)(c) of the Securitisation Regulation and that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has received such transaction summary. The Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall make the same available to Relevant Recipients to the extent required under the Transparency and Reporting Requirements.

(c) The obligations of the Borrower to fulfil the Transparency and Reporting Requirements contained in this Section 13.23 shall be subject to (A) the Required Information being in the Borrower’s possession or (B) if the Required Information is not in the Borrower’s possession, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) being able to obtain such documents, reports or information without either the Borrower or the Collateral Manager incurring in excess of $20,000 additional out-of-pocket expenses (any such amount, a “Material Expense”), subject, in each case, to the Administrative Expense Cap; provided that if obtaining such documents, reports or information under clause (B) above would involve the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) incurring a Material Expense, to the extent that the requesting Lender (or the Administrative Agent on its behalf) has confirmed in writing that upon delivery of the Required Information, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such Material Expense, then the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) shall obtain the same. The Borrower (and the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Borrower) covenants in favor of the Administrative Agent and each Lender to use all commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the Transparency and Reporting Requirements during each Transparency Report Unavailability Period; provided that nothing in this clause shall be construed as requiring the Borrower or the Collateral Manager to fulfil all of the requirements of Article 7 of the Securitisation Regulation during a Transparency Report Unavailability Period. The Borrower (and the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Borrower) covenants in favor of the Administrative Agent and each Lender that as of the first Business Day of each Transparency Report Unavailability Period it shall as soon as possible thereafter appoint a replacement Reporting Agent.

(d) The Borrower shall provide, or cause to be provided, to any applicable Reporting Agent all necessary information as may be required for such Reporting Agent to compile the Transparency Reports on behalf of the Borrower. The Collateral Manager shall, subject to the Collateral Manager Standard and any confidentiality undertaking given by the Collateral Manager

-176-

or to which the Collateral Manager is subject, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with and provide to such Reporting Agent and the Borrower any reports, data and other information relating to the Collateral and, to the extent necessary, the business and/or operations of the Collateral Manager, in each case reasonably available to the Collateral Manager and that the Borrower may in consultation with the Collateral Manager, determine to be necessary or essential in connection with the preparation of the Transparency Reports and in sufficient time before the date on which the Borrower requires such reports to be made available. The Collateral Manager and the Borrower (with the consent of the Collateral Manager) shall be entitled to appoint additional agents (including, without limitation, any additional Reporting Agents) to assist them with providing such data to any Reporting Agent appointed by it; provided that prior written notice of such appointment is given to the parties hereto. In addition, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall provide any necessary instructions to any Reporting Agent in respect of the preparation and/or provision of the Transparency Reports.

Section 13.24 Adequacy of Monetary Damages Against the Lenders. Each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equityholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) any and all claims, damages and demands against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders arising out of, or in connection with, the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders’ rights or remedies pursuant to this Agreement can be sufficiently and adequately remedied by monetary damages, (ii) no irreparable injury will be caused to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the Equityholder as a result of, or in connection with, any such claims, damages or demands, and (iii) no equitable or injunctive relief shall be sought by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the Equityholder as a result of, or in connection with, any such claims, damages or demands; provided that this Section 13.24 shall not constitute a waiver of any rights of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the Equityholder to seek injunctive relief to enforce its rights under Section 13.09.

To the extent that the Facility Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Facility Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

-177-

In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Facility Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Facility Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) As used in this Section 13.25, the following terms have the following meanings:

[FORM OF NOTE]

[DATE]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (the “Borrower”) hereby promises to pay to [LENDER] (the “Lender”) and its registered assigns on the Final Maturity Date (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement hereinafter referred to) the principal sum of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances made by the Lender to the Borrower under the Revolving Credit Agreement, in immediately available funds and in the currency required by the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each such Advance, in like funds and money, from the Borrowing Date thereof until the principal amount thereof shall have been paid in full, at the rates per annum and on the dates provided in the Revolving Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Revolving Credit Agreement.

This promissory note is a Note referred to in the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2023 (as amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, as borrower, the Lender, as lender, the other lenders from time to time parties thereto, BNP Paribas, as administrative agent, HPS Corporate Lending Fund, as equityholder, HPS Corporate Lending Fund, as collateral manager, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as collateral agent. The date and principal amount of each Advance (and stated Interest thereon) made to the Borrower and of each repayment of principal thereon shall be recorded by the Lender or its designee on Schedule I attached to this Note, and the aggregate unpaid principal amount shown on such schedule shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on the Advances made by the Lender. The failure to record or any error in recording any such amount on such schedule shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Revolving Credit Agreement to repay the principal amount of the Advances together with all Interest accrued and unpaid thereon.

Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Note, if at any time the rate of interest charged to, collected from or received from or on behalf of the Borrower by the Lenders under this Note, when combined with any and all other charges provided for in this Note, in the Revolving Credit Agreement or in any other document (to the extent such other charges would constitute interest for the purpose of any applicable law limiting interest that may be charged on this Note), exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under applicable law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then the excess of such payment over the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be applied first to the payment of amounts then due and owing by the Borrower to the Lender under the Revolving Credit Agreement (other than in respect of principal of and interest on the Advances made by the Lender) and then to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances made by the Lender.

Exh. A-1

Payments of the principal of, and interest on, Advances represented by this Note shall be made by or on behalf of the Borrower to the holder hereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the manner and at the address specified for such purpose as provided in the Revolving Credit Agreement, or in such manner or at such other address as the holder of this Note shall have specified in writing to the Borrower for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of this Note or the making of any notation on this Note.

Portions or all of the principal amount of this Note shall become due and payable at the time or times set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement. Any portion or all of the principal amount of this Note may be prepaid, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon (and, as set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement, certain costs and expenses of the Lender) at the time and in the manner set forth in, but subject to the provisions of, the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Except as provided in the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Borrower expressly waives presentment, demand, diligence, protest and all notices of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Note.

All amounts evidenced by this Note, the Lender’s Advances and all payments and prepayments of the principal hereof and the respective dates and maturity dates thereof shall be endorsed by the Lender, on the schedule attached hereto and made a part hereof or on a continuation thereof, which shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to make such a notation shall not in any way limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Note as provided in the Revolving Credit Agreement.

The holder hereof may sell, assign, transfer, negotiate, grant participations in or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of any Advances made by the Lender and represented by this Note and the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, subject to the applicable provisions of the Revolving Credit Agreement.

This Note is secured by the security interests granted pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement and the other Facility Documents. The holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Revolving Credit Agreement and each other Facility Document and may enforce the agreements of the Borrower contained in the Revolving Credit Agreement and each other Facility Document and exercise the remedies provided for by, or otherwise available in respect of, the Revolving Credit Agreement or such other Facility Document, all in accordance with, and subject to the restrictions contained in, the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement or the applicable Facility Document. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the unpaid balance of the principal of all Advances, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, may be declared, and may become, due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Revolving Credit Agreement.

The Borrower and the Lender each intend, for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes only, that this Note be evidence of indebtedness of the Borrower secured by the Collateral and the Lender, by the acceptance hereof, agrees to treat this Note for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Borrower.

Exh. A-2

Each of the Borrower and the Lender acknowledges that the Borrower is a special purpose entity and that none of the directors, officers, incorporators, shareholders, partners, agents or employees of the Borrower (including, without limitation, any Equityholder and any Affiliate thereof) shall be personally liable for any of the obligations of the Borrower under this Note. The Borrower’s sole source of funds for payment of all amounts due hereunder shall be the Collateral, and, upon application of the proceeds of the Collateral and its reduction to zero in accordance with the terms and under the circumstances described in the Revolving Credit Agreement, all obligations of and all claims against the Borrower under this Note shall extinguish and shall not thereafter revive.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

In the event of any inconsistency between this Note and the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement shall govern.
