The provisions of this Section 1.04 shall be applicable to any determination or calculation that is covered by this Section 1.04, whether or not reference is specifically made to Section 1.04, unless some other method of calculation or determination is expressly specified in the particular provision.

(a) All calculations with respect to Scheduled Distributions on any Collateral Asset shall be made on the basis of information as to the terms of each such Collateral Asset and upon reports of payments, if any, received on such Collateral Asset that are furnished by or on behalf of the Obligor of such Collateral Asset and, to the extent they are not manifestly in error, such information or reports may be conclusively relied upon in making such calculations.

(b) For purposes of calculating the Coverage Tests, except as otherwise specified in the Coverage Tests, such calculations will not include (i) scheduled interest and principal payments on Defaulted Collateral Assets and Ineligible Collateral Assets unless or until such payments are actually made or such payments are determined likely to be received by the Investment Advisor pursuant to the definition of Collateral Interest Amount and (ii) ticking fees and other similar fees in respect of Collateral Assets, unless or until such fees are actually paid.

(c) For each Collection Period and as of any date of determination, the Scheduled Distribution on any Collateral Asset (other than a Defaulted Collateral Asset or an Ineligible Collateral Asset, which, unless such payments are determined likely to be received by the Investment Advisor pursuant to the definition of Collateral Interest Amount and except as otherwise provided herein, shall be assumed to have Scheduled Distributions of zero) shall be the total amount of (i) payments and collections to be received during such Collection Period in respect of such Collateral Asset, (ii) proceeds of the sale of such Collateral Asset received and, in the case of sales which have not yet settled, to be received during such Collection Period that are not reinvested in additional Collateral Assets or retained in a Collection Account for subsequent reinvestment pursuant to Article X, which proceeds, if received as scheduled, will be available in a Collection Account and available for distribution at the end of such Collection Period and (iii) amounts referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above that were received in prior Collection Periods

(g) Determinations of the Collateral Assets, or portions thereof, that constitute Excess Concentration Amounts will be determined in the way that produces the highest Borrowing Base, Distribution Borrowing Base and EOD Borrowing Base, as applicable, at the time of determination, it being understood that a Collateral Asset (or portion thereof) that falls into more than one category of Collateral Assets will be deemed, solely for purposes of such determinations, to fall only into the category that produces the highest such Borrowing Base, Distribution Borrowing Base and EOD Borrowing Base, as applicable, at such time (without duplication).

(h) All calculations required to be made hereunder with respect to the Collateral Assets, the Borrowing Base, the Distribution Borrowing Base and the EOD Borrowing Base shall be made on a Trade Date basis and after giving effect to (x) all purchases or sales to be entered into on such Trade Date and (y) all Advances requested to be made on such Trade Date plus the balance of all unfunded Advances to be made in connection with the Borrower’s purchase of previously requested (and approved) Collateral Assets.

(i) Unless otherwise expressly provided for herein, all monetary calculations (other than for Dollars) under this Agreement shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amount, as applicable.

Portions of the same Collateral Asset acquired by the Borrower on different dates (whether through purchase, receipt by contribution or the making or origination thereof, but excluding subsequent draws under Delayed Drawdown Collateral Assets) will, for purposes of determining the purchase price of such Collateral Asset, be treated as separate purchases on separate dates (and not a weighted average purchase price for any particular Collateral Asset).

(k) For the purposes of calculating compliance with each of the Concentration Limitations all calculations will be rounded to the nearest 0.01%.

-55-

(l) For purposes of calculating compliance with any test under this Agreement in connection with the acquisition or disposition of a Collateral Asset or Eligible Investment, the trade date (the “Trade Date”) (and not the settlement date) with respect to any such Collateral Asset or Eligible Investment under consideration for acquisition or disposition shall be used to determine whether such acquisition or disposition is permitted hereunder.

The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the information provided to it by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Advances outstanding with respect to each Lender.

(b) Any Lender may request that its Advances to the Borrower be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall prepare, and the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender (which Note shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto) and otherwise appropriately completed and the Administrative Agent shall record such issuance and delivery in the Register. Thereafter, to the extent reflected in the Register, 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.

(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 and unpaid 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 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 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 prepayment of any Advance by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) shall in each case be in a principal amount of at least $500,000 or, if less, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Advances of the Borrower.

(ii) In connection with the proposed repayment of Advances or pledge of additional Collateral Assets as Collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i), the Borrower (or the Investment Advisor 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 Collateral Assets and each Obligor of such Collateral Asset 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 Asset 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 Assets 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.

The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the unused amount of the Facility Amount at any time or from time to time, without penalty or premium (other than the payment of any Make-Whole Amount specified in the Lender Fee Letter) 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 a notice of termination or reduction may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other events, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied; provided further that, in each case, (i) the amount of any such reduction of the Facility Amount shall be equal to at least $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the remaining unused portion thereof and (ii) no such reduction will reduce the Facility Amount below the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Advances outstanding at such time and (y) the Delayed Drawdown Exposure at such time. Such notice of termination or reduction shall be irrevocable and effective only upon receipt and shall reduce the Maximum Facility Amount and 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 commitments.

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.

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. No 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;

-60-

(ii) subject any Recipient 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 market relevant to any Applicable Index 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.

(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.

(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 cost 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

-61-

or interest incurred more than nine months 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 nine-month 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) promptly 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 the 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 an 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.

Section 2.12 Inability to Determine Rates. With respect to any 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 (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) the Applicable Index for the applicable Advances cannot be determined pursuant to the definition of such Applicable Index, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and each Lender in writing; provided that the Administrative Agent has made a similar determination with respect to similarly situated borrowers in similar facilities. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, or continuation of Advances (to the extent of the affected Advances or affected Interest Accrual Periods) or, failing that, any Advance shall be ineffective, as applicable. Furthermore, if any Advance is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of a notice with respect to an Applicable Index applicable to an Advance, then on the last day of the Interest Accrual Period

-62-

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. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Advances based upon the Applicable Index will be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

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 (after giving effect to any grace period thereto) for the period from the due date thereof (after giving effect to any grace period thereto) 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 by the Borrower (or on behalf and at the direction of the Borrower (or the Investment Advisor on behalf of the Borrower) by the Collateral Agent) to the applicable recipient in Dollars, 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 2:00 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 2:00 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 paid on the next following Business Day. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of Section 6.01, amounts paid by the Borrower shall be deemed received upon payment by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent. 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.

-63-

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all computations of interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed in computing interest on any Advance, the date of the making of the Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided that, if an Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s Interest shall be paid on such Advance. All computations made by the Collateral Agent 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 Dollars. 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 to make payments in Dollars, as converted by the Investment Advisor 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 Investment Advisor 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 Dollars. Any Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account denominated in an Available Currency other than Dollars may be converted by the Investment Advisor into Dollars 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 written instructions provided by the Investment Advisor, no liability for any losses incurred or resulting from the rates obtained in such foreign exchange transactions.

Section 2.16 [Reserved].

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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s breach of its obligations under

-64-

this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Event of Default or Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of that Defaulting Lender. 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 relative 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.

Section 2.18 Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of a then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Facility Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Facility Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such

-65-

Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Facility Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Facility Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right, with the consent of the Borrower, 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 consent of any other party (other than the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) to this Agreement or any other Facility Document. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower will promptly notify the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of any Benchmark.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, the Lenders, the Investment Advisor, the Collateral Agent and the Equityholder of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to this Section 2.18 and (y) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (x) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Accrual Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (y) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (x) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark

-66-

(including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Accrual Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending Notice of Borrowing of, or continuation of Advances with respect to such Benchmark to be made or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance bearing interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) any outstanding affected Advances will be deemed to have been converted to Advances bearing interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin at the end of the applicable Interest Accrual Period.

(f) Responsibility for Selection or Determination. 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 or other replacement index, or any liability for any failure or delay in performing their duties hereunder solely as a result of the unavailability a benchmark rate during a Benchmark Unavailability Period, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party 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.

(g) Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section 2.18:

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark for Dollars, (x) if such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Accrual Period” pursuant to this Section 2.18.

“Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event for any then-current Benchmark, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

(or any of its permitted assigns) under the Investment Management Agreement, in a manner that materially adversely affects any Secured Party in its capacity as such without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Investment Advisor assigns the Investment Management Agreement or waives any duties or obligations of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Asset Management, L.P.

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 Required Lenders, by written 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 and unpaid 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 (i) 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 Required Lenders) to the Investment Advisor of the exercise of control rights with respect to the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may direct the Investment Advisor to exercise such rights on behalf of the Administrative Agent, including: (x) the exercise of the Investment Advisor’s rights and obligations under the Facility Documents, including its unilateral power to (A) consent to modifications to Collateral Assets, (B) take any discretionary action with respect to any Collateral Assets and (C) direct the acquisition, sales and other dispositions of Collateral Assets to be immediately terminated; (y) to require the Investment Advisor to obtain the consent of the Administrative Agent before agreeing to any modification of any Collateral Asset, taking any discretionary action with respect to any Collateral Asset or causing the Borrower to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral Asset; and (z) to require the Investment Advisor to cause the Borrower to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral Asset as directed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.03.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if an EOD OC Ratio Breach has occurred, within ten (10) Business Days of the occurrence of such EOD 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 EOD OC Ratio

-102-

Breach to be cured after giving effect to such payment into the Principal Collection Account (any such payment, an “EOD OC Ratio Posting Payment”).

ARTICLE VII

PLEDGE OF COLLATERAL; RIGHTS OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Section 7.01 Grant of Security. (a) The Borrower hereby grants, pledges, transfers 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), excluding the Excluded Amounts, being collectively referred to herein as the “Collateral”):

(i) all Collateral Assets and Related Documents (including the Initial Collateral Assets), 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 Assets of the Borrower, which the Borrower is entitled to receive, including all Collections in respect of its Collateral Assets;

(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;

(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, 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 Assets or Eligible Investments);

-103-

(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;

provided that, Collateral shall not include any Equity Security, any Margin Stock or any units of exchange-traded funds and/or indebtedness of any Foreign Subsidiary in excess of 65% of the outstanding Equity Securities and/or indebtedness of such Foreign Subsidiary.

(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 or 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. 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. Solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent or its designees shall, at the written direction of the Required Lenders acting through the Administrative Agent, (a) instruct the Borrower to deliver any or all of the Collateral, the Related Documents and any other document relating to the Collateral to the Collateral Agent or its designees and otherwise give all instructions for the Borrower regarding the Collateral; (b) sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral 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. In the absence of

-104-

written direction of the Required Lenders (acting through the Administrative Agent), the Collateral Agent shall take no action. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable to the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders or any other party for any action taken or omitted to be taken at the direction of the Required Lenders (acting through the Administrative Agent) or any inactions in the absence thereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Borrower, the Investment Advisor and the Equityholder waive all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties arising out of the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent of any of their rights hereunder, except for any claims, damages and demands it may have against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent arising from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective 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 Required Lenders (acting through the Administrative Agent), it shall execute all documents and agreements which are necessary or appropriate to have the Collateral to be assigned to the Collateral Agent or its designee. For purposes of taking the actions described in clauses (a) through (k) of this Section 7.03 the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact (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. Such appointment shall in no way impose upon the Collateral Agent any obligation to take any such action unless specifically directed to do so and subject to the receipt of indemnity from the Lenders reasonably satisfactory to it.

Each of the Borrower, the Investment Advisor 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 Investment Advisor 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.

Each of the Borrower, the Investment Advisor 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 Investment Advisor and the Equityholder, and each of the Borrower, the Investment Advisor 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

-105-

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 Investment Advisor 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 Investment Advisor 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 Investment Advisor 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 Investment Advisor 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 Investment Advisor 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 Investment Advisor 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;

(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 Business Days in advance of such foreclosure sale, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent notifies the Borrower, the Investment Advisor and the Equityholder at the address set forth herein of the time and place of such foreclosure sale; and

-106-

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

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 in writing by the Administrative Agent or the Required 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 indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it with respect thereto.

All sums paid 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 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 Investment Advisor ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 Assets and (iii) upon the written request of either Agent, act and refrain from acting in respect of any request, act, decision or vote under or in connection with the Related Documents relating to the Collateral only in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent (in its reasonable discretion).

(b) The Borrower agrees that, to the extent the same shall be in the Borrower’s possession, it will hold all Related Documents relating to the Collateral in trust for the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, and upon request of either Agent following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or as otherwise provided herein, promptly

-107-

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 Asset that is not a Noteless 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 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;

(b) maintain, preserve and perfect any grant of security made or to be made by this Agreement including the first priority nature of the Lien 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 Administrative Agent as its agent and attorney in fact to prepare and file any UCC-1 financing statement and continuation statement and the

-108-

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 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 Administrative 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.

ARTICLE VIII

ACCOUNTS, ACCOUNTINGS AND RELEASES

Section 8.01 Collection of Money. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent may demand payment or delivery of, and shall collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all Money and other property payable to or receivable by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, including (after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default) all payments due on the Collateral, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall segregate and hold all such Money and property received by it in trust for the Secured Parties and shall apply it as provided in this Agreement. Each Covered Account shall be established and maintained under the Account Control Agreement with a Qualified Institution. Any Covered Account may contain any number of additional accounts or subaccounts for the convenience of the Collateral Agent or as required by the Investment Advisor for convenience in administering the Covered Account (including additional accounts or subaccounts for purposes of holding Available Currencies) or the Collateral.

Section 8.02 Collateral Account and Collection Account. (a) 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 (i) the “Collateral Account,” which shall be maintained with the Securities Intermediary in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and which shall be subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent, and (ii) the “Collection Account” which shall be maintained with the Securities Intermediary in accordance with the Account Control Agreement, which shall be subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent and which shall consist of two segregated accounts, one of which will be designated the “Interest Collection Account” and one of which will be designated the “Principal Collection Account.” The Collateral Agent shall from time to time deposit into the Interest Collection Account, in addition to the deposits required pursuant to Section 8.06(a), promptly upon receipt thereof, all Interest Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent and identified as such by the Investment Advisor. 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 Assets in accordance with Article X or in Eligible Investments or required to be deposited in the Delayed Drawdown Reserve Account) received by the Collateral Agent and identified as such by the Investment Advisor. All Monies deposited from time to time in the Collection Account

-109-

pursuant to this Agreement shall be held by the Collateral Agent as part of the Collateral and shall be applied to the purposes herein provided. Subject to Section 8.02(c), amounts in the Collection Account shall be reinvested pursuant to Section 8.06(a). Other than as expressly set forth herein, the Collateral Agent shall from time to time deposit into the Collateral Account any Collateral that is capable of being delivered to and held by the Securities Intermediary and credited to an account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement.

(b) At any time when reinvestment is permitted pursuant to Article X, the Investment Advisor on behalf of the Borrower (subject to compliance with Article X) may, by delivery of a certificate or an email instruction of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or the Investment Advisor or a trade ticket, direct the Collateral Agent to, and upon receipt of such certificate, email or trade ticket, as applicable, the Collateral Agent shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account representing Principal Proceeds (together with accrued interest received with regard to any Collateral Asset and Interest Proceeds but only to the extent used to pay for accrued interest on an additional Collateral Asset) and reinvest such funds in additional Collateral Assets or units of exchange-traded funds, 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 Delayed Drawdown Reserve Account, the Borrower, or the Investment Advisor, acting on behalf of the Borrower, may, by delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Investment Advisor, 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 Investment Advisor to meet the Borrower’s funding obligations in respect of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Assets.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall transfer to the Payment Account, from the Collection Account for application pursuant to Section 9.01(a), on the Business Day prior to each Payment Date, the amount set forth to be so transferred in the Payment Date Report for such Payment Date. The Payment Date Report shall constitute instructions to the Collateral Agent to withdraw funds from each 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. Except as provided in Section 9.01, the only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Payment Account shall be to pay amounts due and payable under the Priority of Payments on the Payment Dates in accordance with their terms and the provisions of this Agreement. The Borrower shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Payment Account other than in accordance with this Agreement and the Priority of Payments. Amounts on deposit in the Payment Account will not be invested.

Section 8.04 The Delayed Drawdown Reserve Account; Fundings. In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Borrower shall, on or prior to the

-110-

Closing Date, establish at the Securities Intermediary a single, segregated trust account in the name of the Borrower, subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent, which shall be designated as the “Delayed Drawdown Reserve 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 only permitted deposits to or withdrawals from the Delayed Drawdown Reserve Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Borrower shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Delayed Drawdown Reserve Account other than in accordance with this Agreement and the Priority of Payments.

During the Reinvestment Period, fundings of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Assets shall be made using, first, amounts on deposit in the Delayed Drawdown Reserve Account, then available Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account and finally, available Advances. On the last day of the Reinvestment Period, to the extent the amount of funds on deposit in the Delayed Drawdown Reserve Account are less than the Delayed Drawdown Exposure, (x) the Borrower shall request a final Advance in an amount sufficient to fund the Delayed Drawdown Reserve Account in an amount equal to the Delayed Drawdown 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 Delayed Drawdown Reserve Account in an amount sufficient to fund the Delayed Drawdown Reserve Account in an amount equal to the Delayed Drawdown Exposure. After the Facility Termination Date, fundings of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Assets shall be made using, first, amounts on deposit in the Delayed Drawdown Reserve Account, then available Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, after the Facility Termination Date, all Principal Proceeds received with respect to Delayed Drawdown Collateral Assets shall be deposited into the Delayed Drawdown Reserve Account to the extent such proceeds may be re-borrowed by the related Obligors.

Amounts on deposit in the Delayed Drawdown Reserve Account will be invested in overnight funds that are Eligible Investments selected by the Investment Advisor 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 Delayed Drawdown Reserve Account (other than earnings from Eligible Investments therein) will be available solely to cover drawdowns on the Delayed Drawdown Collateral Assets and settle purchases of Collateral Assets 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 Delayed Drawdown Exposure, the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Borrower (or the Investment Advisor 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 Delayed Drawdown 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 Investment Advisor on behalf of the Borrower) shall

-111-

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 Delayed Drawdown Reserve Account in Eligible Investments having stated maturities no later than the Business Day preceding the next Payment Date (or such shorter maturities expressly provided herein, 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 Borrower (or the Investment Advisor on behalf of the Borrower) 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 such funds 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 Eligible Investment selected by the Borrower (or the Investment Advisor on behalf of the Borrower) or held uninvested if none has been selected). 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 Borrower (or the Investment Advisor on behalf of the Borrower) 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. The Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary and their respective Affiliates shall be permitted, to the extent agreed by the Borrower, to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Collateral Agent’s or the Securities Intermediary’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment advisor, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Eligible Investments, (ii) using affiliates to effect transactions in certain Eligible Investments, and (iii) effecting transactions in certain investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable pursuant to this Agreement.

(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 Investment Advisor any information regularly maintained by the Collateral Agent that the Borrower or the Investment Advisor 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 Investment Advisor to perform its obligations hereunder or the Borrower’s obligations hereunder that have been delegated to the Investment Advisor. The Collateral Agent shall promptly forward to the Investment Advisor and the Borrower copies of notices and other writings received by it from the Obligor of any Collateral Asset or from any Clearing Agency with respect to any Collateral Asset which notices or writings advise the holders of such Collateral Asset 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

-112-

redemptions) as well as all periodic financial reports received from such Obligor and Clearing Agency with respect to such Obligor.

Section 8.07 Accountings.

(a) Monthly. On or prior to the 20^th calendar day of each calendar month, beginning with November 2023 (such date, the “Monthly Reporting Date”), the Collateral Agent shall compile and provide (or cause to be provided) to the Agents, the Equityholder, the Borrower and the Lenders, a monthly report for the prior calendar month (each, a “Monthly Report”) in accordance with this Section 8.07. The Investment Advisor shall provide to the Collateral Agent information as is reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent or necessary to produce the Monthly Report. The Collateral Agent shall, based, in part, on the information provided to it, calculate: (i) Aggregate Net Collateral Balance, (ii) Borrowing Base, (iii) Excess Concentration Amount, (iv) Maximum Available Amount, (v) each Coverage Test, (vi) for any Payment Date Report, completion of Priority of Payments pursuant to Section 9.01(a), (vii) balances for each of the Covered Accounts, (viii) EOD Borrowing Base, (ix) EOD OC Ratio, (x) EOD OC Ratio Breach, (xi) Distribution Borrowing Base and (xii) such other calculations as may be mutually agreed upon by the Collateral Agent, the Investment Advisor and the Administrative Agent. As used herein, the “Monthly Report Determination Date” with respect to any calendar month in which a Payment Date does not occur (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) will be the last day of such calendar month. The Monthly Report for a calendar month shall contain the information with respect to the Collateral Assets and Eligible Investments included in the Collateral that is agreed to by the Investment Advisor, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent from time to time, and shall be determined as of the Monthly Report Determination Date for such calendar month. The Investment Advisor shall cooperate with the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation of the Monthly Reports and each daily report delivered pursuant to Section 8.07(c) below. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investment Advisor shall timely supply any information maintained by it that the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request and reasonably needs to complete the calculations and reports required to be prepared by the Collateral Agent hereunder or required to permit the Collateral Agent to perform its obligations hereunder

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

(b) Payment Date Accounting. The Borrower shall render (or cause to be rendered) an accounting (each, a “Payment Date Report”), determined as of the close of business on each Determination Date preceding a Payment Date (such Determination Date, a “Payment Date Report Determination Date”), and shall deliver such Payment Date Report to the Agents, the Investment Advisor and each Lender not later than the second Business Day preceding the related Payment Date. The Payment Date Report shall contain the information that is agreed to by the Investment Advisor, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent from time to time.

-113-

(c) Daily Accounting. For each Business Day, the Collateral Agent shall render to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Investment Advisor) a daily report, based, in part, on information provided to it, of (i) all deposits to and withdrawals from the Covered Accounts for such Business Day and the outstanding balance of the Covered Accounts as of the end of such Business Day, (ii) all settled trades of securities for such Business Day, (iii) the Adjusted Principal Balance of each Collateral Asset as of the end of such Business Day, (iv) the Distribution OC Ratio, OC Ratio and EOD OC Ratio as of the end of such Business Day, (v) the Borrower’s compliance with the Concentration Limitations, (vi) the Asset Value of each Collateral Asset, (vii) the S&P Rating and ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Rating, as applicable, of each Collateral Asset and/or the Obligor thereunder (if applicable), (viii) all principal and interest payments made or to be made on each Collateral Asset on such Business Day, (ix) the applicable interest rates, interest rate resets, interest accrual periods and interest rate and benchmark floors, if any, of each Collateral Asset, (x) the portion of the Principal Balance of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Asset that is unfunded, (xi) the amount of Interest Proceeds received from Collateral Assets and Eligible Investments, (xii) the Collateral Assets that are Defaulted Collateral Assets, (xiii) the EOD Borrowing Base of the end of such Business Day and (xiv) such other items as may be agreed upon from time to time by the Collateral Agent and the Borrower. “Asset Value” shall be determined in accordance with the definition herein and provided to the Collateral Agent. For purposes of calculating the Adjusted Principal Balance of each Collateral Asset, the Collateral Agent shall begin including each Collateral Asset in the report as of its Trade Date.

(d) Failure to Provide Accounting. If the Collateral Agent shall not have received any accounting provided for in this Section 8.07 on the first Business Day after the date on which such accounting is due to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall notify the Investment Advisor who shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such accounting by the applicable Monthly Reporting Date or Payment Date, as applicable. The Collateral Agent shall in no event have any liability for the actions or omissions of the Investment Advisor, the Borrower or any other Person, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in any duty performed by it that results from or is caused by inaccurate, untimely or incomplete information or data received by it from the Investment Advisor, the Borrower or another Person (other than claims relating to the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct).

Section 8.08 Release of Collateral. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.01, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to release (which such release shall be automatic and require no further action from any party) any Lien covering property that is the subject of either a disposition of property permitted hereunder or a disposition to which the Required Lenders have consented and, upon such release, the Collateral Agent (or Custodian, as applicable) shall deliver any such item, if in physical form, duly endorsed to the broker or purchaser designated in such certificate or, if such item is a Clearing Corporation Security, cause an appropriate transfer thereof to be made, in each case against receipt of the sales price therefor as specified by the Investment Advisor in such certificate; provided that nothing in this Section 8.08(a) shall limit the Administrative Agent’s ability to exercise its rights and remedies under Section 6.01 upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided, further that the Collateral Agent (or the Custodian on its behalf) may deliver any such item in physical form for examination in accordance with street delivery custom; provided, that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Custodian will be deemed to have notice of an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent or the Custodian, as applicable, has received written notice thereof.

-114-

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

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

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

(e) Any Collateral Asset or amounts that are released pursuant to Section 8.08(a) or (b) shall be automatically released from the Lien of this Agreement.

Section 8.09 [Reserved].

(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 Investment Advisor, 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.

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 Required Lenders (or, with respect to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent); provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes such

-125-

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 an Agent’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld, provide for the exercise of such Agent’s reasonable discretion, or provide to a similar effect, it shall not in its instructions (or by refusing to provide instruction) to such Agent withhold its consent or exercise its discretion in an unreasonable manner.

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

(c) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any officer, agent or representative thereof shall be personally liable for any action taken by any such Person in accordance with any notice given by the Required Lenders, as applicable, (or by the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Facility Document even if, at the time such action is taken by any such Person, the Required Lenders, or Persons purporting to be the Required Lenders, are not entitled to give such 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 Required Lenders, or Persons purporting to be the Required Lenders, are not entitled to give such notice. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon directions provided by the Administrative Agent as if provided by the Required Lenders authorized to provide such direction 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 Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it. If the Collateral Agent does not receive such instructions within five (5) Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action. The Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with instructions received after such five (5) Business

-126-

Day period except to the extent it has already, in good faith, taken or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions.

(e) Instructions to Collateral Agent.

(i) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action unless it has been instructed in writing by the Borrower (or the Investment Advisor on the Borrower’s behalf), the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, as it reasonably deems necessary. In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any action (or forbearance from action) taken pursuant to such written instructions of the Borrower, the Investment Advisor, the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable.

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

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

(f) General Standards of Care for the Collateral Agent.

(i) Notwithstanding any terms herein contained to the contrary, the acceptance by the Collateral Agent of its appointment hereunder is expressly subject to the following terms, which shall govern and apply to each of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (whether or not so stated herein):

(A) Nothing herein obligates the Collateral Agent to commence, prosecute or defend legal proceedings in any instance, whether on behalf of the Borrower or on its own behalf or otherwise, with respect to any matter arising hereunder, or relating to this Agreement or the services contemplated hereby.

(B) The permissive right of the Collateral Agent to take any action hereunder shall not be construed as a duty.

(C) The Collateral Agent has no obligation to determine the Interest Rate or whether an asset is an Eligible Collateral Asset.

-127-

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.

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 Investment Advisor 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, opinion, direction or other instrument or writing on the part of the Borrower, the Investment Advisor or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or the Investment Advisor; (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 facsimile, 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; and (vi) 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 Investment Advisor’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 or other party to a Facility Document (including concerning the application of funds), 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

-128-

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 Required Lenders to provide, written instruction to exercise such discretion or grant such consent from the Required Lenders, as applicable). No Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless it shall be proven by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the relevant facts. Nothing herein or in any Facility Document or Related Document shall obligate any Agent to advance, expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action (or forbear from 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 (including any Default or Event of Default) unless actually known to a Responsible Officer of such Agent, or unless and to the extent written notice of such matter is received by such Agent at its address in accordance with Section 13.02 and specifically references this Agreement or the Borrower. 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, implied 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. No 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, bond or other paper or document. No 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, pandemics, disease, 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.

(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

-129-

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, no Agent has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by either Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Secured Party as to any matter. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon such Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Investment Advisor, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Facility Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the Facility Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Investment Advisor. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or Investment Advisor which may come into the possession of such Agent.

Section 12.04 Indemnification. Each of the Lenders agrees to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent harmless (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to Section 13.04 or otherwise) from and against any and all Liabilities which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent for any portion of such Liabilities resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The rights of the Administrative Agent and obligations of the Lenders under or pursuant to this Section 12.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and the earlier removal or resignation of the Administrative Agent hereunder.

Section 12.05 Successor Agents. (a) Subject to the terms of this Section 12.05, each Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. If an Agent shall resign, then the Required ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall appoint a successor agent. If for any reason a successor agent is not so appointed and does not accept such appointment within thirty (30) days of notice of resignation, such Agent may appoint a successor agent. The appointment of any successor Agent shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the consent of the Borrower to any such appointment shall not be required if (i) an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) (solely with respect to principal or interest), Section 6.01(i), Section 6.01(k) or Section 6.01(l) shall have occurred and is continuing or (ii) if such successor agent is an Affiliate of such Agent. Any resignation of an Agent shall be effective upon the appointment of a successor agent pursuant to this Section 12.05. After the

-130-

effectiveness of any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents and the provisions of this Article XII shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been delivered to the Collateral Agent within sixty days after giving of notice of resignation by the Collateral Agent, the resigning Collateral Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.

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

Section 12.06 The Collateral Agent. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive, compensation for, and reimbursement for expenses in connection with, the Collateral Agent’s performance of the duties called for herein as provided in the Collateral Agent Fee Letter.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall have no liability for losses arising from (i) any cause beyond its control, (ii) any delay, error, omission or default of any mail, telegraph, cable or wireless agency or operator, or (iii) the acts or edicts of any government or governmental agency or other group or entity exercising governmental powers.

(c) It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Collateral Agent is not guaranteeing the performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any portion of the Collateral.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the preparation or filing of any UCC financing statements or continuation statements or the correctness of any financing statements filed in connection with this Agreement or the validity or perfection of any lien or security interest created pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for the selection of any investments or any losses in connection therewith, or for any failure of the relevant party to provide investment instruction to the Collateral Agent in connection with the investment of funds in or from any account set forth herein.

(f) The Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of the Investment Advisor, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to the Collateral Agent, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on the Collateral Agent’s part of any of its duties hereunder that is caused by or results from any such inaccurate, incomplete or untimely

-131-

information received by it, or other failure on the part of any such other party to comply with the terms hereof.

(g) The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any certificate, report or other document; provided, however, that, if the form thereof is prescribed by this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall examine the same to determine whether it conforms on its face to the requirements hereof. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of any matter unless actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent. It is expressly acknowledged by the Borrower, the Investment Advisor, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that performance by the Collateral Agent of its various duties hereunder (including recalculations to be performed in respect of the matters expressly contemplated hereby) shall be based upon, and in reliance upon, data, information and notices provided to it by the Investment Advisor (and/or the Borrower), the Administrative Agent and/or any related bank agent, obligor or similar party with respect to the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of any such information or data provided to it by such persons and shall be entitled to update its records (as it may deem necessary or appropriate). Nothing herein shall impose or imply any duty or obligation on the part of the Collateral Agent to verify, investigate or audit any such information or data, or to determine or monitor on an independent basis whether any issuer of the Collateral is in default or in compliance with the underlying documents governing or securing such item of Collateral, from time to time.

(h) The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to determine or inquire into the happening or occurrence of any event or contingency, and it is agreed that its duties hereunder are purely ministerial in nature.

(i) Should any controversy arise between the undersigned with respect to the Collateral held by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall, subject to Section 12.01(b) and Section 12.04, follow the written instructions of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties.

(j) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest (on behalf of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. 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.

(k) If State Street or the Collateral Agent is also acting in another capacity, including as Custodian or Securities Intermediary, the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to State Street or the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article XII shall also be afforded to State Street or the Collateral Agent acting in such capacities; provided that such rights, protections, benefits, immunities and indemnities shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any rights, protections, benefits, immunities and indemnities provided in the Custodian Agreement, the Account Control Agreement or any other Facility Documents to which State Street or the Collateral Agent in such capacity is a party.

-132-

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

(m) The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Facility Documents and no implied duties shall be read into this Agreement against or on the part of the Collateral Agent.

Section 12.07 Erroneous Payments. (a) If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral 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 the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any of their 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, 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 the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent or the Collateral 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 the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral 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 the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any of their 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 the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any of their 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 the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any of their 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:

-133-

(i) (1) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral 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 the Administrative Agent or the Collateral 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 or the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 12.07(b)(ii).

(c) Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral 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 the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to such Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Facility Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower; provided that this Section 12.07 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent from, or on behalf of (including through the exercise of remedies under any Facility Document), the Borrower for the purpose of a payment on the Obligations.

(e) [Reserved].

(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 the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent for the return of any

-134-

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 the Collateral Agent, 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 Investment Advisor in any case shall entitle the Borrower or the Investment Advisor 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 Investment Advisor, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders; 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 Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver,

-135-

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 (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. Any party hereto may update its notice information on Schedule 5 at any time by delivering written notice (which may be via email) of such update to each of the other parties hereto.

State Street (in each of its capacities) 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, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that State Street shall have the right to require any person providing such instructions or directions to provide to State Street 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 State Street email or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and State Street in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, State Street’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. State Street shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from State Street’s reliance in good faith upon and compliance with such instructions. 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 or the Administrative Agent, then the Borrower 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 as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings

-136-

applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 13.03) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, on the Payment Date immediately following 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 Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient 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 Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Recipient, 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 Recipient 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 Recipient shall reimburse the Borrower (or the Investment Advisor, as applicable) such amount of any refund received (net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred), but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to

-137-

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 Lender 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 Lender, 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 Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 13.03(g)(ii), (iii) and (v) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of 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 IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(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

-138-

interest under any Facility Document, executed copies of IRS 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, IRS 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 IRS 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, or so long as the Borrower is a disregarded entity, its sole owner, 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 IRS 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 IRS 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 Recipient under any Facility Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient 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 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

-139-

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 Recipient has complied with such Recipient’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 requests compensation under Section 2.10 or 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 Section 2.10 or 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) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or 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, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 13.03(h), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 13.06), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents (other than existing rights to payment pursuant to Sections 2.10 or 13.03) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 13.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

-140-

(j) 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 (i) 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 out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent (subject to a $200,000 cap for legal fees accrued on or prior to the Closing Date) and one outside counsel for the Collateral Agent (and, in each case, excluding the allocated costs of in-house counsel), (ii) 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, costs and expenses of compliance with the Securitisation Regulation, and all other related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses in connection therewith and (iii) 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, in each case under the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), limited in the case of legal fees, costs and expenses to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent and one outside counsel for the Collateral Agent and excluding the allocated costs of in-house counsel. 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 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 and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of outside attorneys, accountants, auditors, consultants, appraisers and other professionals engaged by the Collateral Agent; provided that, in each case, legal fees, costs and expenses shall be limited to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of one outside attorney and one local counsel representing such Secured Parties (other than the Collateral Agent, who may have one outside attorney and one local counsel) unless any conflict of interest arises (in each case, excluding the allocated costs of in-house counsel). 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.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, managers of, and any Person controlling any of, the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Liabilities that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified

-141-

Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, administration of or otherwise arising out of or incurred in connection with this Agreement, any other Facility Document, any Related Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (and regardless of whether or not any such transactions are consummated); 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 gross negligence or willful 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(b). The Borrower shall not have any liability hereunder to any Indemnified Party to the extent an Indemnified Party effects any settlement of a matter that is (or could be) subject to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Borrower is in breach of its indemnification obligations hereunder and such settlement (i) does not include a statement as to or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Borrower, and (ii) includes an unconditional release of the Borrower from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. The Borrower shall not without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (i) does not include a statement as to or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any such Indemnified Party, and (ii) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Borrower be liable for any Indemnified Party’s lost revenues or lost profits or for any indirect, special or consequential damages (but, for the avoidance of doubt, this sentence does not limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 13.04(b) with respect to any such liability paid by an Indemnified Party to a third party).

(c) Subject to the Lender Fee Letter, the Investment Advisor 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 Investment Advisor of any covenant or any of its obligations under any Facility Document, (ii) the failure of any of the representations or warranties of the Investment Advisor 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 or willful misconduct (as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) on the part of the Investment Advisor in its capacity as Investment Advisor; except the Investment Advisor shall not be liable to the extent any such Liability (x) results from the performance or non-performance of the Collateral Assets or (y) is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful 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 Investment Advisor shall not have any liability hereunder to any Indemnified Party to the extent an Indemnified Party effects any

-142-

settlement of a matter that is (or could be) subject to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investment Advisor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In no event shall the Investment Advisor be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages.

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. 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 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 under Section 6.01(a) (solely with respect to principal or interest), Section 6.01(i), Section 6.01(k) or Section 6.01(l) shall have occurred (and not been waived by the Lenders in accordance with Section 13.01) or (y) such assignment is required by 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, unless an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) (solely with respect to principal or interest), Section 6.01(i), Section 6.01(k)

-143-

or Section 6.01(l) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, any Disqualified Lender shall be permitted.

(b) The 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 Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Borrower, the Agents 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, (D) 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 and (E) unless an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) (solely with respect to principal or interest), Section 6.01(i), Section 6.01(k) or Section 6.01(l) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, such Participants are not Disqualified Lender. 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) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 13.03(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) 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.

(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 (and stated interest thereon) 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. 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.

-144-

(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 such Person is a Qualified Purchaser and a QIB.

(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.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Facility Document, any Lender (an “Existing Lender”) that assigns any or all of its Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount to a Repackaging SPV (the “Repackaging SPV Transferred Interests”), shall:

(i) continue to be subject to all the obligations of such Existing Lender which correspond to that portion of the Existing Lender’s Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount and participations in Advances forming the Repackaging SPV Transferred Interests, such that the Existing Lender and the Repackaging SPV are jointly and severally liable for all the obligations in respect of the Repackaging SPV Transferred Interests and

-145-

the Borrower shall have the corresponding rights against each of the Existing Lender and the Repackaging SPV, provided that upon any repayment of Advances to the Repackaging SPV the corresponding increase in the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount of the Repackaging SPV and the right of the Repackaging SPV to re-lend monies pursuant to this Agreement shall be assumed solely by the Existing Lender and not the Repackaging SPV if the Existing Lender so notifies the Borrower, the Investment Advisor and the Administrative Agent;

(ii) fund the Repackaging SPV Transferred Interests in respect of that Advance by 2:00 pm (New York time) on the applicable Borrowing Date if the relevant Repackaging SPV has failed to so fund (or has confirmed that it will not be able to fund or to the extent the Existing Lender and the Repackaging SPV have otherwise agreed that Existing Lender will provide the relevant funding) on the applicable Borrowing Date; and

(iii)  retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to the Repackaging SPV Transferred Interests, including all rights with respect to voting, waivers, consents, modifications, amendments and any confirmations as to satisfaction of any requirements hereunder or under any Facility Document.

Section 13.07 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

-146-

similar legal process (provided that with respect to disclosures of Information pursuant to a subpoena or similar legal process, (A) prior to any disclosure under this clause (c) the disclosing party agrees to provide the Borrower with prior written notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior written notice to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the subpoena or other legal process and (B) any disclosure under this clause (c) shall be limited to the portion of the Information as may be required by such Governmental Authority pursuant to such subpoena or other legal process); (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Facility Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Facility Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) solely with respect to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (provided that such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) has agreed to maintain confidentiality pursuant to this Section 13.09 or another non-disclosure agreement substantially similar hereto), (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder that has agreed to maintain confidentiality pursuant to this Section 13.09 or (iii) any rating agency (provided that the Administrative Agent shall not provide any Proprietary Information to any party referenced in this clause (f) without the prior written consent of the Borrower or the Investment Advisor on the Borrower’s behalf); or (g) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section by such party, or (y) becomes available to such party or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a party to this Agreement.

(b) neither it nor any of its Affiliates will sell, hedge, enter into a short position or otherwise mitigate its credit risk under or associated with the Retained Interest where to do so would cause the transaction contemplated by the Facility Documents to cease to be compliant with the EU Risk Retention Requirements;

(c) it will (A) take such further action, provide such information (provided that the provision of such information would not contravene any applicable contract, law or regulation or duties of confidentiality binding on the Equityholder) and enter into such other agreements, in each case, as may reasonably be required by the Borrower, a Lender or the Administrative Agent to satisfy the EU Risk Retention Requirements and (B) provide to the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender that is subject to the EU Due Diligence Requirements, the information, documents, reports and notifications that the Administrative Agent and/or such Lender reasonably requests as necessary to enable compliance with any of their obligations under the EU Due Diligence Requirements, provided that, notwithstanding the provisions of (A) and (B) above, it shall be obligated to do so only if such information, documents, reports and notifications are (1) not subject to a duty of confidentiality; and (2)(a) in its possession, or (b) not in its possession but it can obtain such information, documents, reports or notifications using commercially reasonable efforts and without material expense (provided further that, if obtaining such information, documents, reports or notifications would involve material expense but the requesting ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to reimburse it, then it shall obtain the same);

(g) (A) in relation to each Collateral Asset acquired by the Borrower which is a Retention Holder Originated Collateral Asset pursuant to part (a) of the definition thereof, it applied sound and well-defined credit granting criteria to the origination of the Collateral Asset; (B) in relation to each Collateral Asset acquired by the Borrower which is a Retention Holder Originated Collateral Asset pursuant to part (b) of the definition thereof, it has verified, in light of the information available to it and subject to its usual standard of care, and reasonably believes that the entity which was, directly or indirectly, involved in the original agreement which created the Collateral Asset applied sound and well-defined credit granting criteria to the origination of the Collateral Asset, and that it maintained clearly established processes for approving, amending, modifying, renewing and financing the Collateral Asset and had effective systems in place to apply those criteria and processes to ensure that the Collateral Asset was granted and approved based on a thorough assessment of the relevant Obligor’s creditworthiness; and (C) it and the Borrower has, and reasonably expect to maintain, clearly established criteria and processes for originating, amending, modifying, renewing and financing the Collateral Assets (the “Collateral Asset Originations and Revisions”) and have effective systems in place to apply those criteria and processes to ensure that Collateral Asset Originations and Revisions are granted and approved based on a thorough assessment of each Obligor’s creditworthiness.
