“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(a) in the case of clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the later of (i) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (ii) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(b) in the case of clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be non-representative; provided that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.

-7-

(a) Except as expressly provided herein, for purposes of calculating compliance with any test under this Agreement in connection with the acquisition or disposition of a Loan Asset or Permitted Investment, the trade date (and not the settlement date) with respect to any such Loan Asset or Permitted Investment under consideration for acquisition or disposition shall be used to determine whether such acquisition or disposition is permitted hereunder.

(b) Except as expressly set forth herein, for purposes of calculating the Concentration Limits, the settlement date (and not the trade date) with respect to each Loan Asset shall be used for such calculation.

(c) All determinations of the Concentration Limits shall be determined in good faith by the Servicer subject to the ability of the Administrative Agent to object to such determination. In the event the Administrative Agent objects to such calculation, the Administrative Agent and the Servicer shall work in good faith to determine the Concentration Limits.

(d) Except as otherwise provided herein, Loan Assets that are not Eligible Loan Assets will not be included in the calculation of the Collateral Quality Tests.

Section 1.06 Divisions. For all purposes under the Transaction Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.

Section 1.07 Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability (except as provided herein) with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

ARTICLE II

THE FACILITY

Section 2.01 The Advances.

(a) On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, from time to time from the Closing Date until the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Borrower may request that the Lenders make advances for the purpose of financing Eligible Loan Assets (each, an “Advance”), secured by the Collateral Portfolio, (x) to the Borrower for the purpose of purchasing Eligible Loan Assets or (y) to the Unfunded Exposure Account in an amount up to the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount. Other than pursuant to Section 2.02(f), under no circumstances shall any Lender be required to make any Advance if after giving effect to such Advance and the addition to the Collateral Portfolio of the Eligible Loan Assets being acquired by the Borrower using the proceeds of such Advance, (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and has not been waived), or would result therefrom, or an Unmatured Event of Default exists or would result therefrom or (ii) the aggregate Advances Outstanding would exceed the Borrowing Base. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall be obligated to provide the Borrower (or to the Unfunded Exposure Account, if applicable) with aggregate funds in connection with an Advance that would exceed such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s unused Commitment then in effect.

(b) Each of the Lenders and the Borrower hereby represents and warrants that they intend the Advances made hereunder to constitute “loans” and not “securities” for purposes of Section 8-102(15) of the UCC.

Section 2.02 Procedure for Advances. (a) During the Reinvestment Period, the Lenders will make Advances on any Business Day at the request of the Borrower, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Sections 2.01 and 2.02 and subject to the provisions of Article III hereof.

(b) The Borrower shall request an Advance by delivering irrevocable written notice in the form of a Notice of Borrowing, in which the Borrower shall specify whether the Advance shall be a SOFR Advance or a Base Rate Advance; provided that the Borrower shall not deliver more than two Notices of Borrowing in one week. For each SOFR Advance, the Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent and each Lender (with a copy to the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator) no later than 1:00 p.m. at least two Business Days before the Business Day on which the SOFR Advance is to be made; provided that if such Notice of Borrowing is delivered later than 1:00 p.m. on such Business Day, such Notice of Borrowing shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day. For each Base Rate Advance, the Borrower shall deliver an irrevocable written notice in the form of a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent and each Lender (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator and the Securities Intermediary) no later than 1:00 p.m. one Business Day prior to the Business Day on which such Base Rate Advance is to be made; provided that if such Notice of Borrowing is delivered later than 1:00 p.m. on such Business Day, such Notice of Borrowing shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall include a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate (updated to the date such Advance is requested and giving pro forma effect to the Advance requested and the use of the proceeds thereof) and the current Loan Tape, and shall specify:

(i) the aggregate amount of such Advance, which amount shall not cause the Advances Outstanding to exceed the Borrowing Base (calculated on a “settlement date” basis, after giving pro forma effect to any committed purchases and sales on such settlement date); provided that, except with respect to an Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(f), the amount of such Advance must be at least equal to $500,000;

-53-

(ii) the proposed Advance Date (which shall be a Business Day) and whether such Advance will be a SOFR Advance or a Base Rate Advance;

(iii) a representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance described in Article III hereof have been satisfied;

(iv) the amount of cash that will be funded into the Unfunded Exposure Account in connection with any Revolving Loan Asset or Delayed Draw Loan Asset funded by such Advance, if applicable; and

(v) whether such Advance (or portion thereof) should be remitted to an account specified by the Borrower or the Unfunded Exposure Account.

On the date of each Advance, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, each Lender shall, in accordance with instructions received by the Borrower, either (i) make available to the Borrower, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, by payment into the account which the Borrower has designated in writing or (ii) remit in same day funds an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance into the Unfunded Exposure Account; provided that, with respect to an Advance funded pursuant to Section 2.02(f), each Lender shall remit the Advance equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Unfunded Exposure Amount Shortfall in same day funds to the Unfunded Exposure Account.

(c) Each SOFR Advance shall bear interest at the applicable SOFR Yield Rate. The Base Rate Advances Outstanding shall bear interest at the Base Rate Yield Rate. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and has not been waived), the Borrower may request that the Administrative Agent convert (i) any Base Rate Advance, in whole and not in part, to a SOFR Advance and (ii) any SOFR Advance, in whole and not in part, to a Base Rate Advance, in each case, by delivering a Conversion Notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. at least three Business Days before the Conversion Date on which (w) such Base Rate Advance is to be converted into a SOFR Advance or (x) such SOFR Advance is to be converted into a Base Rate Advance, as applicable. All Advances and all interest thereon shall be due and payable in full on the Facility Maturity Date.

(d) Subject to Section 2.18 and the other terms, conditions, provisions and limitations set forth herein (including, without limitation, the payment of the Make-Whole Premium, as applicable), the Borrower may borrow, repay or prepay and reborrow Advances without any penalty, fee or premium.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been waived) (other than the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Borrower) or the existence of an Unmatured Event of Default or a Borrowing Base Deficiency), if, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (that has not been waived) or on the last day of the Reinvestment Period, the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount, the Borrower shall request an Advance in the amount of such shortfall (the “Unfunded Exposure Amount Shortfall”). Following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing (which shall specify the account details of the Unfunded Exposure Account where the funds will be made available), each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata Share of such Unfunded

-54-

Exposure Amount Shortfall in accordance with Section 2.02(b), notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, (a) the Borrower’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02, (b) the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been waived) (other than the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Borrower) or (c) the existence of (x) an Unmatured Event of Default or (y) a Borrowing Base Deficiency); provided that:

(i) each Lender may fund such Unfunded Exposure Amount Shortfall in its sole discretion to the extent that doing so would cause such Lender to make an Advance that would result in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Pro Rata Share of Advances to exceed such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Pro Rata Share of its Commitment;

(ii) the Borrower shall have caused a properly completed Notice of Borrowing (which shall specify the account details of the Unfunded Exposure Account where the funds will be made available) to be delivered to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Lenders) on a timely basis; and

(iii) to the extent the Reinvestment Period has ended due to the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been waived), each Lender shall have a funding obligation with respect to the Unfunded Exposure Amount Shortfall under this Section 2.02(f) solely to the extent that (A) the Borrower shall have, prior to the applicable Advance Date, deposited an amount not less than the Unfunded Exposure Equity Amount in the Unfunded Exposure Account pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(ix) or by an equity contribution by the Transferor or by any combination of those two methods and (B) such funds, as of such Advance Date, remain on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be required to fund the Unfunded Exposure Account unless and until the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been waived) or the last day of the Reinvestment Period or as required to prevent the occurrence of a Borrowing Base Deficiency. For the further avoidance of doubt, any obligation of a Lender to make an Advance pursuant to this Section 2.02(f) shall be without prejudice to the obligation of the Borrower to cure any Borrowing Base Deficiency that exists prior to such Advance or results therefrom.

(g) The obligation of each Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share of any Advance shall be several from that of each other Lender and the failure of any Lender to so make such amount available to the Borrower shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder.

Section 2.03 Determination of Yield. The Administrative Agent shall determine the Yield for the Advances Outstanding (including unpaid Yield related thereto, if any, due and payable on a prior Payment Date) to be paid by the Borrower on each Payment Date for the related Remittance Period or Interest Period, as applicable, and shall advise the Servicer thereof on or prior to the third Business Day prior to such Payment Date.

Section 2.04 Remittance Procedures. The Servicer shall instruct the Securities Intermediary by delivery of the Servicing Report to the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Agent and, if the Servicer fails to do so, the Collateral Agent may instruct the Securities Intermediary, to apply funds on deposit in the Controlled Accounts as described in this Section 2.04; provided that, at any time after delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control that has not been rescinded by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to apply funds on deposit in the Controlled Accounts as described in this Section 2.04. Any transfers or payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds as directed in writing by the Servicer or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to the Securities Intermediary and in no event shall the Securities Intermediary be required to disburse any funds via check; provided, that the Securities Intermediary may require certain information for verification purposes prior to processing any such wire transfer.

The Servicer and the Borrower shall promptly transmit to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by telecopy or e-mail a copy of all instructions and directions given to the Collateral Custodian or the Securities Intermediary by such party pursuant to Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly transmit to the Servicer and the Borrower by telecopy or e-mail a copy of all instructions and directions given to the Collateral Custodian or the Securities Intermediary by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 2.04. If either the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent disagrees with the computation of any amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Servicer under Section 2.04 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, or upon their respective instructions, it shall so notify the Borrower and the Servicer in writing and in reasonable detail to identify the specific disagreement. If such disagreement cannot be resolved within two Business Days, the determination of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, as to such amounts shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto absent demonstrable error. In the event the Servicer or the Borrower provide instructions to the Securities Intermediary which conflict with any instructions received by the Securities Intermediary from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable: (i) prior to the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Servicer, the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall provide mutually agreed upon instructions upon which the Securities Intermediary may conclusively rely upon and shall not be required to take any action, and shall not be liable for not taking any action, in the absence of such joint instruction and (ii) after the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Securities Intermediary shall conclusively rely on and follow the instructions given by the Collateral Agent and shall not be required to take any action, and shall not be liable for not taking any action, in the absence of such instruction.

The provisions of this Section 2.05 shall apply to the Collateral Administrator in a similar manner as set forth for the Securities Intermediary, mutatis mutandis; provided that, the Securities Intermediary, as applicable, shall promptly provide notification to the Servicer or the Borrower of such conflicting instructions.

Section 2.06 Borrowing Base Deficiency Payments. (a) If on any day prior to the Collection Date, any Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, then the Borrower shall, within five Business Days from the earlier of (x) the date of the Borrower or the Transferor acquiring knowledge of such failure and (y) the date of the Borrower or the Transferor receives written notice of such failure from the Administrative Agent, eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency in its entirety by effecting one or more (or any combination of items (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) below) of the following actions in order to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency: (i) deposit cash in United States dollars into the Principal Collection Account and/or Unfunded Exposure Account, (ii) repay Advances Outstanding (together with any Breakage Fees and all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the

Lenders, in each case in respect of the amount so prepaid (it being understood that any accrued Yield with respect to such repaid Advances Outstanding shall be due and payable on the Payment Date immediately following such repayment)), (iii) sell or otherwise transfer Loan Assets in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or (iv) subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, Pledge additional Eligible Loan Assets and/or Permitted Investments (subject, for each such Eligible Loan Asset, to receipt of an Approval Notice).

(b) No later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to the proposed repayment of Advances Outstanding or Pledge of additional Eligible Loan Assets pursuant to Section 2.06(a) (including in accordance with the proviso thereto) the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall deliver (i) to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Securities Intermediary), notice of such repayment or Pledge, and (ii) to the Administrative Agent, if applicable, a description of any Eligible Loan Asset and each Obligor of such Eligible Loan Asset to be Pledged and added to the updated Loan Tape. Any notice pertaining to any repayment or any Pledge pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be revocable by the Borrower only to the extent such repayment notice was conditioned upon the effectiveness of some other event not subject to the control of the Borrower, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition to repayment is not or will not be satisfied.

Section 2.07 Substitution and Sale of Loan Assets; Affiliate Transactions.

(a) Substitutions. The Borrower may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, replace any Loan Asset with an Eligible Loan Asset so long as (i) no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such substitution, which constitutes an Event of Default (that has not been waived) and no event would result from such substitution, which constitutes an Unmatured Event of Default or a Borrowing Base Deficiency and (ii) simultaneously therewith, the Borrower Pledges (in accordance with all of the terms and provisions contained herein) a Substitute Eligible Loan Asset.

(b) Discretionary Sales. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.07, the Borrower shall be permitted to sell Loan Assets to Persons, including the Transferor and its Affiliates, from time to time; provided that (i) the proceeds of such sale shall be deposited into the Collection Account to be disbursed in accordance with Section 2.04 hereof, (ii) after giving effect to any such sale, the Collateral Quality Tests are satisfied or, if not satisfied, would be maintained or improved and (iii) no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such sale, which constitutes an Event of Default (that has not been waived), no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such sale, which constitutes an Unmatured Event of Default and before and after giving effect to such sale no Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist (unless such sale is effected to cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency or such requirements are waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); provided further that the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required if the sale price of such Loan Asset is less than the Adjusted Borrowing Value of such Loan Asset multiplied by the Advance Rate of such Loan Asset.

(c) Repurchase or Substitution of Warranty Loan Assets. If on any day a Loan Asset is a Warranty Loan Asset, no later than 15 Business Days following the earlier of knowledge by the Borrower of such Loan Asset being a Warranty Loan Asset or receipt by the Borrower from the Administrative Agent or the Servicer of written notice thereof, the Borrower shall either:

-61-

(i) make a deposit to the Collection Account (for allocation pursuant to Section 2.04) in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amount of any Borrowing Base Deficiency attributable to such Warranty Loan Asset and (y) any expenses or fees with respect to such Loan Asset and costs and damages actually incurred by the Administrative Agent or by any Lender in connection with any violation by such Loan Asset of any predatory or abusive lending law which is an Applicable Law (a notification regarding the amount of such expenses or fees to be provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower) (the “Repurchase Price”); provided that the Administrative Agent shall be reasonable in determining whether the amount so deposited is sufficient to satisfy the foregoing requirements; provided further that the deposit of such funds into the Collection Account may result from the sale of such Warranty Loan Asset pursuant to Section 2.07(b); or

(ii) with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, substitute for such Warranty Loan Asset a Substitute Eligible Loan Asset.

provided that the Borrower shall not be required to comply with Section 2.07(c)(i) or (c)(ii) if no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would occur as a result of such Loan Asset being or becoming a Warranty Loan Asset and the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, consents thereto.

Upon confirmation of the deposit of the Repurchase Price into the Collection Account, the delivery by the Borrower of a Substitute Eligible Loan Asset for each Warranty Loan Asset or upon the direction of the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to dividend a Warranty Loan Asset to the Transferor (the date of such confirmation, delivery or direction, the “Release Date”), and other than with respect to the proviso set forth immediately above in Section 2.07(c), such Warranty Loan Asset and related Portfolio Assets shall be removed from the Collateral Portfolio and, as applicable, the Substitute Eligible Loan Asset and related Portfolio Assets shall be included in the Collateral Portfolio.

Section 2.08 Payments and Computations, etc. (a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 3:00 p.m. on the day when due in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds to the Collection Account or such other account as is designated by the Administrative Agent and shall be made without any set off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. The Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due to any of the Secured Parties hereunder at 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate (other than with respect to any Advances Outstanding, which shall accrue at 2.0% per annum above the SOFR Yield Rate or Base Rate Yield Rate, as applicable), payable on demand, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full; provided, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. Any Obligation hereunder shall not be reduced by any distribution of any portion of Available Collections if at any time such distribution is rescinded or required to be returned by any Lender to the Borrower or any other Person for any reason. Each SOFR Advance shall accrue interest at the applicable SOFR Yield Rate for such SOFR Advance during each applicable Interest Period (provided that in the event of a Conversion Date, the Interest Period shall end on, but exclude, the Conversion Date for such SOFR Advance). All computations of interest and all computations with respect to the Yield, the SOFR Yield and the SOFR Yield Rate with respect to SOFR Advances shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed, other than calculations with respect to the Base Rate, which shall be based on a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as applicable based on the amount of days in such year. Payments of Yield with respect to each SOFR Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date on which an Interest Period for such SOFR Advance ends. Each Base Rate Advance shall accrue interest at the Base Rate Yield Rate for each day beginning on, and including, the Advance Date with respect to such Base Rate Advance and ending on, but excluding, the Conversion Date for such Base Rate Advance or the date such Base Rate Advance is repaid in full. All computations of interest and all computations with respect to the Yield and Base Rate Yield Rate with respect to Base Rate Advances shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days elapsed. With respect to any calendar month in which a Payment Date occurs, any Yield that accrues with respect to any Base Rate Advance during the period that commences and on and includes the first day of such calendar month and ends on and includes the end of the Remittance Period in such calendar month shall be payable on the Payment Date that occurs in such calendar month. Any Yield with respect to any Base Rate Advance that accrues in such calendar month after the Remittance Period in such calendar month shall be payable on the Payment Date next following the Payment Date that occurs in such calendar month.

(b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of Yield or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be.

(c) If any Advance requested by the Borrower and approved by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.02 is not for any reason whatsoever, except as a result of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or failure to fund such Advance on the part of, the Lenders, made or effectuated, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify such Lenders against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lenders related thereto (other than any such loss, cost or expenses due to the gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or failure to fund such Advance on the part of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof), including, without limitation, any loss (including reasonable and documented cost of funds and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to fund Advances or maintain the Advances. Any such Lender shall provide to the Borrower documentation setting forth the amounts of any loss, cost or expense referred to in the previous sentence, such documentation to be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(d) In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Borrower) will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

Section 2.09 Non-Usage Fee. The Borrower shall pay in accordance with Section 2.04, pro rata to each Lender, a non-usage fee (the “Non-Usage Fee”) payable in arrears for each Remittance Period, equal to the sum of the products for each day during such Remittance Period of (i) one divided by 360, (ii) the applicable Non-Usage Fee Rate, and (iii) the positive difference, if any, of the aggregate Commitments then in effect minus the greater of (x) the Advances Outstanding on such day and (y) the Minimum Utilization.

Section 2.10 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change following the Closing Date (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D)) or liquidity requirements) in or in the interpretation, administration or application following the Closing Date of any Applicable Law (including, without limitation, any law or regulation resulting in any loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto of any Lender being subject to any Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes)), in each case whether foreign or domestic or (ii) the compliance by an Affected Party with any guideline or request following the Closing Date from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost (other than Taxes) to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate, participant thereof (provided that a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under this Section 2.10 than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant), successor or assign thereof (each of which shall be an “Affected Party”) of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Advance (or any reduction of the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest, fee, compensation or otherwise) to any Affected Party hereunder), as the case may be, or there shall be any reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, the Borrower shall, from time to time, after written demand by the Administrative Agent (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand), on behalf of such Affected Party, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Affected Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such increased costs or reduced payments in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.04.

(b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change following the Closing Date in or in the interpretation, administration or application following the Closing Date of any law, guideline, rule or regulation, directive or request or (ii) the compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request following the Closing Date, from any central bank, any Governmental

-65-

Authority or agency, including, without limitation, compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or any related document or arising in connection herewith or therewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then, from time to time, after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Affected Party such additional amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.04. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III shall constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 2.10, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(c) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.10, any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then after demand by such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts payable or paid by it in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.04.

(d) In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.10, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.10, shall submit to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of such additional or increased costs, which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand or receive such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the change in Applicable Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in Applicable 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).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall only be liable for any amount provided for in this Section 2.10, if each Lender certifies in writing to the Borrower that such Lender is generally requiring payment of such amounts from other borrowers that are similarly situated to the Borrower. Moreover, if at any time the Borrower shall be liable for the payment of any amount provided for in this Section 2.10, then the Borrower shall have the option to terminate this Agreement (in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18(b)), and the Borrower shall not be required to pay the Make-Whole Premium in connection with such termination.

Section 2.11 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower or made on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Borrower to any Recipient, then (i) the Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, (ii) the Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the amount payable by the Borrower to such Recipient will be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including, without limitation such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) 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 will indemnify, from funds available to it pursuant to Section 2.04 each Recipient, within 10 days after written demand thereof, for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this section) payable or paid by such Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Person and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, 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 Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) As soon as practicable after any payment by the Borrower of any Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent appropriate evidence of payment thereof.

(d) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or the taxing authorities of a jurisdiction pursuant to such Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Securities Intermediary 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, the Securities Intermediary 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, the Securities Intermediary 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 or in this Section 2.11, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.11(e) and Section 2.11(g)) 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.

(e) Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower, the Securities Intermediary and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent), copies of executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Any Foreign Lender

(f) Any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the Securities Intermediary and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about 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, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent), copies of any other executed 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 Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(g) If a payment made to a Lender under any of the Transaction Documents 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 Lender shall deliver to the Borrower or the Servicer at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Servicer such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Servicer as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Servicer to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.11(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

-68-

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

(i) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.11 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (i) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (i), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (i) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the 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. 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.

(j) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.11 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 Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

(k) 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 11.04(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. 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 Transaction 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 paragraph (i).

(l) If at any time the Borrower shall be liable for the payment of any additional amounts in accordance with this Section 2.11, then the Borrower shall have the option to terminate this Agreement (in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18(b)); provided that such option to terminate shall in no event relieve the Borrower of paying any amounts owing pursuant to this Section 2.11 in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 2.12 Collateral Assignment of Agreements. The Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all of the Borrower’s right and title to and interest in, to and under (but not any obligations under) the Sale Agreement (and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith), the Loan Agreements related to each Loan Asset, all other agreements, documents and instruments evidencing, securing or guarantying any Loan Asset and all other agreements, documents and instruments related to any of the foregoing but excluding any Excluded Amounts (the “Assigned Documents”).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Portfolio shall not include any Excluded Amounts, and the Borrower does not hereby assign, pledge or grant a security interest in any such amounts.

The Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent to file all such financing statements and amendments thereto pursuant to the UCC or other notices appropriate under applicable law, as the Administrative Agent may require, each in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Such financing statements and amendments may contain a description of the Collateral Portfolio as set forth herein or in any generic manner and may describe the Collateral Portfolio as “all assets” or words of similar effect.

Section 2.14 Evidence of Debt. The Administrative Agent shall maintain, solely for this purpose as the agent of the Borrower, at its address referred to in Section 11.02 a copy of each assignment and acceptance agreement and participation agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Advances owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent demonstrable error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender under this Agreement 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.

It is understood and agreed that the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties with respect to any breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 made on each Cut-Off Date, Advance Date, Reporting Date and any date on which Loan Assets are Pledged hereunder shall survive the pledge to the Collateral Agent hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.16 Release of Loan Assets. The Lien granted and created pursuant to this Agreement shall be automatically released with respect to the following: (i) any Loan Asset (and the related Portfolio Assets pertaining thereto) sold or substituted in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.07, (ii) any Loan Asset (and the related Portfolio Assets pertaining thereto) with respect to which all amounts have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account and (iii) the entire Collateral Portfolio following the Collection Date.

Upon receiving such notification by the Collateral Agent as described in the immediately preceding sentence, if applicable, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian, as applicable, shall deliver the Required Loan Documents to the Borrower. Neither the Collateral Administrator nor the Collateral Custodian shall be liable for any action taken by pursuant to this Section 2.16, and shall have any duty to investigate or ascertain whether such action, notification or any direction complies with any term of the Transaction Documents (other than confirming the deposit by the Servicer of the proceeds of a Loan into the Collection Account).

Section 2.17 Treatment of Amounts Received by the Borrower. Amounts received by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07 on account of Loan Assets shall be treated as payments of Principal Collections or Interest Collections, as applicable, on Loan Assets hereunder.

Section 2.18 Prepayment; Termination. (a) Except as expressly permitted or required herein, including, without limitation, any optional repayment by the Borrower to cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency, Advances Outstanding may only be prepaid in whole or in part at the option of the Borrower at any time by delivering a Notice of Reduction to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders at least one Business Day prior to such reduction. Upon any prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay in full any Breakage Fees (solely to the extent such prepayment occurs on any day other than a Payment Date) and other accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and Lenders related to such prepayment; provided that no reduction in Advances Outstanding shall be given effect unless (i) sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all such amounts in full, as determined by the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion and (ii) no event would result from such prepayment which would constitute an Event of Default (that has not been waived) or an Unmatured Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall apply amounts received from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18(a) to the payment of any Breakage Fees and to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding. Any notice relating to any repayment pursuant to this Section 2.18(a) shall be revocable by the Borrower only to the extent such repayment notice was conditioned upon the effectiveness of some other event not subject to the control of the Borrower, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition to repayment is not or will not be satisfied.

-71-

(b) The Borrower may, at its option, terminate this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents upon three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and upon payment in full of all Advances Outstanding, all accrued and unpaid Yield, any Breakage Fees, all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and Lenders, payment of the Make-Whole Premium (provided that no Make-Whole Premium shall be due and payable in the event that (i) such termination is due to each Lender being a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such termination is due to each Lender requesting compensation under Sections 2.10 or 2.11 or being unwilling or unable to fund Advances at the SOFR Rate for the reasons specifically provided for in Section 2.10, (iii) CIBC ceases to act as Administrative Agent or CIBC and its Affiliates cease to constitute the Required Lenders or (iv) a Make-Whole Termination Event occurs) pro rata to each Lender and payment of all other Obligations (other than unmatured contingent indemnification obligations); provided that no Make-Whole Premium shall be due and payable in the event that the related prepayment occurs after the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date.

(c) Prior to the Facility Maturity Date, the Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the unused amount of the Maximum Facility Amount at any time or from time to time concurrently with the payment of any applicable Make-Whole Premium payable in connection therewith upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date of such termination or reduction and the amount of any such reduction; provided that (i) the amount of any such reduction of the Maximum 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 Maximum Facility Amount below the sum of (x) Advances Outstanding at such time and (y) the difference (if any) between the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount at such time and the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account; provided that no Make-Whole Premium shall be due and payable in the event that (i) such termination or reduction is of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such termination is of the Commitment of any Lender requesting compensation under Sections 2.10 or 2.11 or which is unwilling or unable to fund Advances at the SOFR Rate for the reasons specifically provided for in Section 2.10, but in each case solely with respect to the portion of the Make-Whole Premium that would have been payable with respect to the Commitment so terminated or reduced, (iii) CIBC ceases to act as Administrative Agent or CIBC and its Affiliates cease to constitute the Required Lenders or (iv) a Make-Whole Termination Event occurs. Such notice of termination or reduction shall be irrevocable and effective only upon receipt and shall be applied pro rata to reduce the respective Commitments of each Lender. Except as otherwise set forth herein, upon the occurrence of the Collection Date, this Agreement shall terminate automatically.

(d) The Commitments of the Lenders once terminated or reduced may not be reinstated. Each reduction of the Maximum Facility Amount pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be applied ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(e) The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Make-Whole Premium constitutes additional consideration for the Lenders to enter into this Agreement.

(f) If the Securities Intermediary is instructed to make any prepayments pursuant to Section 2.18, the Securities Intermediary shall make such prepayments in accordance with the written direction of the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf).

-72-

Section 2.19 Collections and Allocations. (a) The Collateral Agent (in consultation with the Servicer) shall promptly identify all Available Collections received in the Collection Account as being on account of Interest Collections or Principal Collections and shall direct the Securities Intermediary to transfer the same to the Principal Collection Account and the Interest Collection Account, respectively. The Servicer shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, any collections received directly by it (if any) to the Collection Account by the close of business within two Business Days after such collections are received and identified; provided that the Servicer shall identify to the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary any collections received directly by the Servicer as being on account of Interest Collections or Principal Collections. The Servicer shall further provide to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator) a statement as to the amount of Principal Collections and Interest Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Account and the Interest Collection Account no later than three Business Days after each Determination Date for inclusion in the Servicing Report delivered pursuant to Section 6.08(b). It is understood and agreed that the Servicer shall remain liable for the proper allocation of the aforementioned Available Collections into the appropriate accounts.

(b) From and including the Cut-Off Date with respect to any Loan Asset, the Servicer will or will cause the Borrower to deposit into the Collection Account all Available Collections received in respect of Eligible Loan Assets being transferred to and included as part of the Collateral Portfolio on such date.

(c) With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (a copy of which will be provided by the Servicer to the Collateral Agent), the Servicer may direct the Securities Intermediary to withdraw from the Collection Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Servicer has, prior to such withdrawal and consent, delivered to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, which the Collateral Agent shall confirm to the Securities Intermediary.

(d) Prior to the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Servicer shall direct the Securities Intermediary (which may be in the form of standing instructions) to invest, or cause the investment of, funds on deposit in the Controlled Accounts (excluding for this purpose, the Custodial Account) as fully as practicable in the Standby Directed Investment, or in such other Permitted Investments, from the Closing Date until the Collection Date. If the Standby Directed Investment is unavailable and absent any further written instruction from the Servicer, the Servicer hereby directs that such funds shall not be invested. After the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Securities Intermediary shall invest, or cause the investment of, funds on deposit in the Controlling Accounts (excluding for this purpose, the Custodial Account) as fully as practicable in the Standby Directed Investment, or such other Permitted Investments directed by the Administrative Agent until such Notice of Exclusive Control is rescinded. If the Standby Directed Investment is unavailable and absent any further written instruction from the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent hereby directs that such funds shall not be invested. A Permitted Investment acquired with funds deposited in any Controlled Account shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding any Payment Date, and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. A Permitted Investment acquired with funds deposited in the Unfunded Exposure Account shall mature not later than the next Business Day succeeding the day of investment, and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its stated maturity date. All such Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary or its nominee for the benefit of the Collateral Agent. All income and gain realized from any such investment, as well as any interest earned on deposits in any Controlled Account shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Article II hereof. None of the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be liable for the amount of any loss incurred, in respect of any investment, or lack of investment, of funds held in any Controlled Account, other than with respect to their fraud or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Securities Intermediary, Collateral Agent or any of their Affiliates may receive compensation with

-73-

respect to the Permitted Investments. The Securities Intermediary shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss which may result from any investment or sale of investment made pursuant to this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document. The Securities Intermediary is hereby authorized, in making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its affiliates, whether it or any such affiliate is acting as agent of the Securities Intermediary or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. The Parties acknowledge that the Securities Intermediary is not providing investment supervision, recommendations, or advice.

Section 2.20 Reinvestment of Principal Collections. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth as certified in writing to the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and Administrative Agent, prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Servicer may, to the extent of any Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Account:

(a) direct the Securities Intermediary to withdraw such funds for the purpose of reinvesting in additional Eligible Loan Assets to be Pledged hereunder; provided that the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) all conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.04 have been satisfied;

(ii) no Event of Default has occurred (and has not been waived), or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment, no Unmatured Event of Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment;

(iii) after giving effect to any acquisition of additional Eligible Loan Assets, the Collateral Quality Tests are satisfied or, if not satisfied, would be maintained or improved;

(iv) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 hereof shall continue to be correct in all material respects (or if such representation and warranty is already qualified by the words “material”, “materially” or “Material Adverse Effect”, then such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects), except to the extent relating to an earlier date;

(v) the Servicer provides same day written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Securities Intermediary by facsimile or email (to be received no later than 2:00 p.m. on such day) of the request to withdraw Principal Collections and the amount of such request;

(vi) delivery of a Disbursement Request executed by the Borrower and a Responsible Officer of the Servicer;

(vii) the Servicer provides to the Administrative Agent by facsimile or e-mail (to be received no later than 2:30 p.m. on that same day) a statement reflecting the total amount on deposit as of the opening of business on such day in the Principal Collection Account;

(viii) unless otherwise waived by the Administrative Agent, such Loan Asset satisfies the eligibility criteria for an Eligible Loan Asset as set forth in Schedule IV hereto; and

(ix) if such funds are to be withdrawn within three Business Days prior to any Payment Date, the Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Account are sufficient to be applied in the amounts designated in the related Servicing Report on each Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.04; or

-74-

(b) direct the Securities Intermediary to withdraw such funds for the purpose of making payments in respect of the Advances Outstanding at such time in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 2.18.

Upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.20 (as certified by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent), the Servicer or, after the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Collateral Agent will instruct the Securities Intermediary to release funds from the Principal Collection Account to the Servicer in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the amount requested by the Servicer and (B) the amount on deposit in the Principal Collection Account on such day. The Securities Intermediary shall have no obligation to monitor the compliance with the requirements of this Section 2.20 and may conclusively rely on the instruction of the Collateral Agent.

Section 2.21 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 11.01(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 Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to other Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such 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 2.21 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 Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender and such Fees shall not accrue during such period with respect to such 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).

-75-

(b) If the Administrative Agent agrees in its sole discretion (subject to the consent of the Borrower) 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 Commitments, 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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. For the avoidance of doubt, no Breakage Costs shall be payable to any Lender under this Section 2.21(b).

Section 2.22 Replacement of Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that (i) any Affected Party shall request reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Sections 2.10 or 2.11, or the Borrower is required to make any payment to which Section 2.11 applies, (ii) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (iii) any Lender does not give or approve any consent, waiver or amendment that requires the approval of all Lenders or all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof and such Lender’s consent is required for such amendment or modification or (iv) a Lender is unable to make, maintain or fund any SOFR Advance pursuant to Section 2.24(g) (such Lender, as well as such Affected Party described in clause (a)(i) above, such Defaulting Lender described in clause (a)(ii) above and such non-consenting Lender described in clause (a)(iii) above, each also, a “Potential Terminated Lender”), the Borrower, at its sole expense and effort, shall be permitted to (x) require such Potential Terminated Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.04), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.10 and 2.11) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Transaction Documents to an assignee permitted pursuant to Section 11.04 (a “Replacement Lender”) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if such Lender accepts such assignment) or (y) terminate the Commitments of such Potential Terminated Lender (on a non-pro rata basis and without terminating the Commitments of any other Lender); provided that:

(i) such Potential Terminated Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents from the Borrower or the Replacement Lender (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Sections 2.10 or 2.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iii) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws; and

(iv) in the case of an assignment based on clause (iii) above, the Replacement Lender shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

-76-

(b) Each Potential Terminated ▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby agrees to take all actions reasonably necessary, at the sole expense of the Borrower, to permit a Replacement Lender to succeed to its rights and obligations hereunder. Upon the effectiveness of any such assignment to a Replacement Lender, (i) such Replacement Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (ii) such Replacement Lender shall have a Commitment in the amount not less than the Potential Terminated Lender’s Commitment assumed by it and (iii) the Commitment of the Potential Terminated Lender shall be terminated in all respects. In connection with any such replacement, if any such Potential Terminated ▇▇▇▇▇▇ does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed assignment and assumption agreement, in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower reflecting such replacement within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such assignment and assumption agreement to such Potential Terminated Lender, then such Potential Terminated Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such assignment and assumption agreement without any action on the part of the Potential Terminated Lender.

(c) No Lender shall be required to make any assignment or delegation pursuant to Section 2.22(a) 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.

Section 2.23 Increased Commitments. So long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Borrower shall have the right from time to time to request an increase in the Commitments upon not less than thirty (30) days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to Administrative Agent) prior written notice to Administrative Agent; provided that (i) no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment, (ii) each such requested increase in the Commitments shall be in accordance with the definition of Maximum Facility Amount, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such increase, (iv) the applicable Structuring Fee payment has been paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and (v) contemporaneously with requesting each such increase, the Borrower shall certify to Administrative Agent in writing that immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such increase, (A) Borrower is in compliance in all material respects with all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and (B) no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing; and provided further that (i) any increase in the Commitments which is accomplished by increasing the Commitment of any Lender or Lenders who are at the time of such increase party to this Agreement (which Lender or Lenders shall consent to such increase in their sole and absolute discretion) shall be accomplished as follows: (A) this Agreement will be amended by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Administrative Agent and those Lender(s) whose Commitment(s) is or are being increased (but without any requirement that the consent of any other Lenders be obtained) to reflect the revised Commitments of each of Lenders pursuant to amendment documents in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, (B) Administrative Agent will deliver an updated Annex A to Borrower and each Lender reflecting the revised Commitments of each Lender and (C) the Advances Outstanding will be reallocated on the effective date of such increase among Lenders in accordance with their revised Pro Rata Shares (and Lenders agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect the reallocation) and (ii) any increase in the Commitments which is accomplished by the addition of a new Lender under this Agreement shall be accomplished as follows: (A) such new Lender shall be subject to the consent of Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and Borrower, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (B) this Agreement will be amended by Borrower, Administrative Agent and such new Lender (but without any requirement that the consent of any other Lenders be obtained) to reflect the addition of such new Lender as a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to amendment documents or joinder documents (in each case, including, without limitation, reliance letters) in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, (C) Administrative Agent will deliver an

-77-

updated Annex A to Borrower and each Lender reflecting the revised Commitments of each Lender and (D) the Advances Outstanding will be reallocated on the effective date of such addition of a new Lender in accordance with their revised Pro Rata Shares (and Lenders agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect the reallocation). In connection with any increase in the Commitments accomplished pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (with the consent of the Borrower) to award titles, including “Joint Lead Arranger,” “Arranger,” “Participant” or such other titles as may be determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to one or more other Lenders; provided that, upon awarding such title, the Administrative Agent will deliver an updated cover page to the Borrower and each Lender reflecting the revised titles of the parties. In connection with any increase in Commitments, the Borrower shall deliver certifications, reaffirmations, opinions and other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.24 Inability to Determine Rates; Benchmark Replacement Setting; Illegality.

(a) Inability to Determine SOFR. Subject to paragraphs (b) through and (f) below, if, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any SOFR Advance:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that Term SOFR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their SOFR Advances for such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter, whereupon any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Advances, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Advances or to convert Base Rate Advances to SOFR Advances, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advances or affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Advances (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advances or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to a Base Rate Advance in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Advances will be deemed to have been converted into a Base Rate Advance at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.10. Subject to paragraphs (b) through (f) below, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Advances shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

(b) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) 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 Transaction Document in respect of such

-78-

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 Transaction Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) 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 Transaction 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 without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction 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.

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

(d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) 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 Section 2.24(e) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.24, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.24.

(e) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the 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 regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 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 (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) 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 (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

-79-

(f) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Advance of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Advances to be made, converted 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 a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Advances. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(g) Illegality. If any event referenced in Section 2.10(b) shall occur and shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder, to make, maintain or fund any SOFR Advance or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make SOFR Advances, or to continue or convert outstanding Advances as or into SOFR Advances, shall be suspended. In the case of the making of a SOFR Advance, such Lender’s Advance shall be made as a Base Rate Advance as part of the same Advance for the same Interest Period and, if the affected SOFR Advance is then outstanding, such Advance shall be converted to a Base Rate Advance either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such SOFR Advance if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Advance to such date or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Advance to such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Lender shall, prior to giving such notice to the Administrative Agent, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice and if such designation would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in the good faith exercise of its discretion. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.10.

Section 2.25 Capital Contributions. Any member of the Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, make a capital contribution in cash or Loan Assets to the Borrower at any time and for any purpose.

-113-

It is acknowledged and agreed that in circumstances in which a Person other than the Borrower, the Transferor or the Servicer acts as lead agent with respect to any Loan Asset, the Servicer shall perform its servicing duties hereunder only to the extent a lender under the related loan syndication Loan Agreements has the right to do so.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of the services performed by the Servicer shall result in or be construed as resulting in an obligation of the Servicer to (i) provide investment banking services to the Borrower or (ii) have direct contact with, or actively solicit or find, outside investors to (x) invest in the Borrower or (y) make co-investments in securities of portfolio companies with the Borrower.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and the Secured Parties of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer (unless replaced by a Replacement Servicer), the Transferor or the Borrower from any of their duties or responsibilities with respect to the Collateral Portfolio. The Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Collateral Portfolio, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Servicer hereunder, unless one of them becomes a Replacement Servicer hereunder.

(d) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to the Transferor or the Borrower shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be applied as a collection of a payment by such Obligor (starting with the oldest such outstanding payment due) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

(e) Additional Activities of the Servicer. Nothing herein shall prevent the Servicer or any of its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses, or from rendering services of any kind to the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, its Affiliates and the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Servicer and its Affiliates may, subject to any limits specified in this Agreement.

(ii) receive fees or other compensation from third parties (including Persons in which the Borrower has made or proposes to make an investment) in connection with any business activities of the Servicer and its Affiliates and which are not related to the use of the Borrower’s capital (which fees or other compensation shall be for the benefit of the Servicer’s own account); and

(iii) be a secured or unsecured creditor of, or hold an equity interest in, or own or hold notes issued by, any issuer of any obligation included in the Loan Assets; provided, that the Servicer may not take any such actions if, in the opinion of counsel to the Borrower, such action would require registration of the Borrower as an “Investment Company” under the Investment Company Act or violate any applicable provisions of federal, state or non-U.S. law or any law, rule or regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Borrower.

-114-

(f) It is understood that the Servicer and any of its Affiliates, employees or associates may engage in any other business and furnish investment management, advisory and other types of services to its Affiliates and other clients whose investment policies are similar to, or different from, those followed by the Servicer with respect to the Loan Assets and which may own securities of the same class, or which are the same type, as the Loan Assets or other securities of the issuers of Loan Assets. The Servicer may, in its sole discretion, make recommendations to others, or effect transactions on behalf of itself or for such Affiliates and other clients, which may differ from or be the same as those effected for the Borrower.

Section 6.03 Authorization of the Servicer. (a) Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby authorizes the Servicer (including any successor thereto) to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable in the determination of the Servicer and not inconsistent with the sale of the Collateral Portfolio by the Transferor to the Borrower under the Sale Agreement and, thereafter, the Pledge by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties hereunder, to collect all amounts due under any and all of the Collateral Portfolio, including, without limitation, endorsing any of their names on checks and other instruments representing Interest Collections and Principal Collections, executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral Portfolio and, after the delinquency of any of the Collateral Portfolio and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the Transferor could have done if it had continued to own such Collateral Portfolio. The Transferor, the Borrower and the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall furnish the Servicer (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Servicer to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectability of the Collateral Portfolio. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender a party to any litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make the Borrower a party to any litigation (other than any routine foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s consent.

(b) After the declaration of the Facility Maturity Date, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, the Servicer shall take such action as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Collateral Portfolio; provided that, the Administrative Agent may, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (which has not been waived), notify any Obligor with respect to any Collateral Portfolio of the assignment of such Collateral Portfolio to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or account designated by the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may enforce collection of any such Collateral Portfolio, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

-115-

Section 6.04 Collection of Payments; Accounts.

(a) Collection Efforts, Modification of Collateral Portfolio. The Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts to collect, or cause to be collected, all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Loan Assets included in the Collateral Portfolio as and when the same become due, all in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Servicer may not (i) waive, modify or otherwise vary any provision of an item of Collateral Portfolio in a manner that would impair the collectability of the Collateral Portfolio or in any manner contrary to the Servicing Standard or (ii) agree or permit the Borrower to agree to a Material Modification with respect to any Loan Asset in the Collateral Portfolio without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent if (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and has not been waived) or would result from such Material Modification, (y) after giving effect to such Material Modification, the Weighted Average Life Test will not be satisfied, or (z) immediately before and after giving effect to such Material Modification, there exists, or would exist, a Borrowing Base Deficiency.

(b) Acceleration. If consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Servicer shall accelerate or vote to accelerate, as applicable, the maturity of all or any Scheduled Payments and other amounts due under any Loan Asset promptly after such Loan Asset becomes defaulted.

(c) Taxes and other Amounts. The Servicer will use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect all payments with respect to amounts due for Taxes and insurance premiums relating to each Loan Asset to the extent required to be paid to the Borrower for such application under the applicable Loan Agreement and remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or insurer as required by the Loan Agreements.

(d) Payments to Collection Account. On or before the applicable Cut-Off Date, the Servicer shall have instructed all Obligors, administrative agents or other agents, as applicable with respect to a Loan Asset, to make all payments owing to the Borrower in respect of the Collateral Portfolio directly to the Collection Account; provided that the Servicer is not required to so instruct any Obligor which is solely a guarantor or other surety (or an Obligor that is not designated as the “lead borrower” or another such similar term) unless and until the Servicer calls on the related guaranty or secondary obligation.

(e) Controlled Accounts. The Borrower agrees to cause any securities intermediary that holds any money or other property for the Borrower in a Controlled Account.

(f) Loan Agreements. Notwithstanding any term hereof (or any term of the UCC that might otherwise be construed to be applicable to a “securities intermediary” as defined in the UCC) to the contrary, none of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Custodian nor any securities intermediary shall be under any duty or obligation in connection with the acquisition by the Borrower, or the Pledge by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent, of any Loan Asset in the nature of a loan or a participation in a loan to examine or evaluate the sufficiency of the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower under the related Loan Agreements, or otherwise to examine the Loan Agreements, in order to determine or compel compliance with any applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including without limitation any necessary consents). The Collateral Custodian shall hold any Instrument delivered to it evidencing any Loan Asset Pledged to the Collateral Agent hereunder as custodial agent for the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(g) Adjustments. If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Collection Account in respect of an Interest Collection or a Principal Collection of a Loan Asset and such Interest Collection or Principal Collection was received by the Servicer in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any Interest Collection or Principal Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Interest Collection or Principal Collection, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake and shall reimburse the Securities Intermediary for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Securities Intermediary in connection therewith. Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.

-116-

Section 6.05 Realization Upon Loan Assets. The Servicer will use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to exercise available remedies relating to a Defaulted Loan Asset, which may include voting any rights with respect to such Defaulted Loan Asset to authorize or direct the administrative agent or collateral agent for such Loan Asset to foreclose upon or repossess, as applicable, or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any Underlying Collateral relating to a Defaulted Loan Asset as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In addition, the Servicer may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, sell or otherwise transfer, or if it deems advisable to maximize recoveries, hold any Defaulted Loan Asset, equity or other securities received by the Borrower in connection with a default, workout, restructuring or plan of reorganization or similar event under a Loan Asset. The Servicer will comply with the Servicing Standard and Applicable Law in realizing upon such Underlying Collateral, and employ practices and procedures including reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to enforce all obligations of Obligors foreclosing upon, repossessing and causing the sale of such Underlying Collateral at public or private sale in circumstances other than those described in the preceding sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless the Administrative Agent has specifically given instruction to the contrary, the Servicer may cause the sale of any such Underlying Collateral to the Servicer or its Affiliates for a purchase price equal to the then fair value thereof, any such sale to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Administrative Agent setting forth the Loan Asset, the Underlying Collateral, the sale price of the Underlying Collateral and certifying that such sale price is the fair value of such Underlying Collateral. In any case in which any such Underlying Collateral has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the foreclosure or repossession of such Underlying Collateral unless it reasonably determines that such repair and/or foreclosure or repossession will increase the Recoveries by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer will remit, or cause to be remitted, to the Collection Account the Recoveries received in connection with the sale or disposition of Underlying Collateral relating to a Defaulted Loan Asset.

Section 6.06 Servicer Compensation. As compensation for its activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses, the Servicer shall be entitled to be paid the Senior Servicing Fee and the Subordinated Servicing Fee and reimbursed its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as provided in Section 2.04.

Section 6.07 Payment of Certain Expenses. The Borrower will be required to pay all expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with its activities under this Agreement, including fees and disbursements of its independent accountants, expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with payments and reports pursuant to this Agreement, and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement for the account of the Servicer. The Borrower will be required to pay all reasonable fees and expenses owing to the Securities Intermediary in connection with the maintenance of the Controlled Accounts. The Servicer may be reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder (including out-of-pocket expenses paid by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower), subject to the availability of funds pursuant to Section 2.04; provided that, to the extent funds are not so available on any Payment Date to reimburse such expenses incurred during the immediately ended Remittance Period, such reimbursement amount shall be deferred and payable on the next Payment Date on which funds are available therefor pursuant to Section 2.04.

then the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Facility Maturity Date to have occurred; provided, that, in the case of any event described in Section 7.01(g) above, the Commitments and the Reinvestment Period shall be deemed to have terminated automatically and the Facility Maturity Date shall be deemed to have occurred automatically upon the occurrence of such event (unless waived in writing by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders). Upon any such declaration or automatic occurrence, (i) the Borrower shall cease purchasing Loan Assets from the Transferor under the Sale Agreement or from any other third party and shall cease originating Loan Assets, (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may declare the Advances to be immediately due and payable in full (without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower) and any other Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and (iii) all proceeds and distributions in respect of the Portfolio Assets shall be distributed by the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent) as described in Section 2.04(c) (provided that the Borrower shall in any event remain liable to pay such Advances Outstanding

and all such amounts and Obligations immediately). In addition, upon any such declaration or upon any such automatic occurrence, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties and at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction and other Applicable Law, which rights shall be cumulative. Without limiting any obligation of the Servicer hereunder, the Borrower confirms and agrees that the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties and at the direction of the Administrative Agent (or any designee thereof, including, without limitation, the Servicer), following an Event of Default (that has not been waived), shall, at its option, have the sole right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under each Assigned Document, but without any obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower under any such Assigned Document. If any Event of Default shall have occurred (that has not been waived), the SOFR Yield Rate and Base Rate Yield Rate shall be increased as set forth in Section 2.08(a), effective as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default (that has not been waived), and shall apply after the occurrence of such Event of Default (that has not been waived) for so long as such Event of Default exists.

Section 7.02 Additional Remedies of the Administrative Agent. (a) If, (i) upon the Administrative Agent’s or the Required ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ declaration that the Advances Outstanding hereunder are immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7.01 upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been waived), or (ii) on the Facility Maturity Date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances Outstanding, all accrued and unpaid Fees and Yield and any other Obligations are not immediately paid in full, then the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent, in addition to all other rights specified hereunder, shall have the right, in its own name and as agent for the Lenders, to immediately sell (at the Borrower’s expense) in a commercially reasonable manner, in a recognized market (if one exists) at such price or prices as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all of the Collateral Portfolio and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations.

(b) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to sell all of the Collateral Portfolio on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for the assets constituting the Collateral Portfolio may not be liquid. Accordingly, the Administrative Agent may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any of the Collateral Portfolio, and nothing contained herein shall obligate the Administrative Agent to liquidate any of the Collateral Portfolio on the date the Administrative Agent or all of the Lenders declare the Advances Outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7.01 or to liquidate all of the Collateral Portfolio in the same manner or on the same Business Day.

(c) If the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent proposes to sell the Collateral Portfolio or any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, at the request of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, the Borrower and the Servicer shall make available to (i) the Administrative Agent, on a timely basis, all information (including any information that the Borrower and the Servicer is required by law or contract to be kept confidential to the extent such information can be provided without violation of such laws or contracts) relating to the Collateral Portfolio subject to sale, including, without limitation, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials requested by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) each prospective bidder, on a timely basis, all reasonable information relating to the Collateral Portfolio subject to sale, including, without limitation, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials reasonably requested by each such bidder; provided that with respect to this clause (ii), neither the Borrower nor the Servicer shall be required to disclose to each such bidder any information which is required by law or contract to keep confidential.

-124-

(d) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any of the Collateral Portfolio may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral Portfolio or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of the Borrower and the Servicer, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral Portfolio marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral Portfolio as an entirety or in such parcels as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) or such court may determine.

(e) Any amounts received from any sale or liquidation of the Collateral Portfolio pursuant to this Section 7.02 in excess of the Obligations will be applied by the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04(c), or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(f) The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall have, in addition to all the rights and remedies provided herein and provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of any applicable state, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), all rights and remedies available to the Lenders at law, in equity or under any other agreement between any Lender and the Borrower.

(g) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

(h) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement, including without limitation the following powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral Portfolio in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Borrower and the Servicer hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (d) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document (other than any Transaction Documents or amendments thereto). Nevertheless, if so reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent or all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no right under any power of attorney furnished under this Section 7.02(h) may be exercised until after the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been waived).

-125-

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, following the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been waived) and prior to any sale of any portion of the Collateral Portfolio as set forth in this Article VII, the Borrower or its designee shall have the right to purchase all or a portion of the Collateral Portfolio at a purchase price equal to the sum of the then-outstanding Obligations, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith (or, in the case of a purchase of less than all of the Loan Assets in the Collateral Portfolio, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, an amount equal to the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Loan Assets purchased). The Borrower or its designee may exercise such right by giving written notice to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such right (the “Exercise Notice”) which shall be delivered not later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the third Business Day after the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of such Event of Default. The purchase price must be received by the Administrative Agent no later than seven Business Days following delivery of the Exercise Notice or, if earlier, upon settlement of the loan transfers. The Administrative Agent shall not cause the sale of any portion of the Collateral Portfolio during the time that the Borrower or its designee is entitled to provide an Exercise Notice.

(viii) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than the discharge in bankruptcy of an Obligor) to the payment of any Loan Asset included in the Collateral Portfolio (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Loan Asset (or the Loan Agreement evidencing such Loan Asset) not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim related to such Collateral Portfolio;

(ix) any failure of the Borrower or the Servicer to perform its duties or obligations (including under this Section) in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or any failure by the Servicer, the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof to perform its respective duties under any Collateral Portfolio;

(x) any inability to obtain any judgment in, or utilize the court or other adjudication system of, any state in which an Obligor may be located as a result of the failure of the Borrower or the Transferor to qualify to do business or file any notice or business activity report or any similar report;

(xvi) the commingling by the Borrower or the Servicer of payments and collections required to be remitted to the Collection Account or the Unfunded Exposure Account with other funds;

(xvii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or the use of proceeds of Advances or the Collateral Portfolio, or the administration of the Loan Assets by the Borrower or the Servicer;

(c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 below is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such

-128-

losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to contribute in respect of any Indemnified Amounts excluded in Section 8.01(a).

(d) If the Borrower has made any payments in respect of Indemnified Amounts to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.01 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Borrower, without interest.

(e) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.01 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Borrower be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) suffered by an Indemnified Party or any other party hereto, even if the Borrower has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; provided that nothing contained in this sentence limits the Borrower’s indemnity obligations pursuant to Section 8.01(a) to the extent such special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages are included in any third party claim against such Indemnified Party in connection with which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

Section 8.02 Indemnities by Servicer. (a) Without limiting any other rights which any Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts, awarded against or incurred by any Indemnified Party as a consequence of any of the following, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party claiming indemnification hereunder or Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or damages arising from any non-Tax claim:

(i) the inclusion, in any computations made by it in connection with any calculation of the Borrowing Base, Borrowing Base Certificate or other report prepared by it hereunder, of any Loan Assets as Eligible Loan Assets which were not Eligible Loan Assets as of the date of any such computation;

(viii) failure or delay in assisting a successor Servicer in assuming each and all of the Servicer’s obligations to service and administer the Collateral Portfolio, or failure or delay in complying with instructions from the Administrative Agent with respect thereto; and/or

(b) Any Indemnified Amounts shall be paid by the Servicer to the applicable Indemnified Party (or to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent or the Lenders), within ten Business Days following receipt by the Servicer of the Indemnified Party’s written demand therefor (and, if applicable, the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts). The applicable Indemnified Party making a request for indemnification under this Section 8.02 shall submit to the Servicer a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of the Indemnified Amounts with respect to which such indemnification is requested, which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(c) If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.02 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Servicer, without interest.

(d) The Servicer shall have no liability for making indemnification hereunder to the extent any such indemnification results from the performance of the Collateral Portfolio (including, without limitation, any change in the market value of the Collateral Portfolio) or constitutes recourse for uncollectible or uncollected Loan Assets.

(e) The obligations of the Servicer under this Section 8.02 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

(f) Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall not be payable from the Collateral Portfolio.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Servicer be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Servicer has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; provided that nothing contained in this sentence limits the Servicer’s indemnity obligations pursuant to Section 8.02(a) to the extent such special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages are included in any third party claim against such Indemnified Party or any other party hereto in connection with which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Indemnified Party hereby agrees to not seek payment from the Servicer with respect to any indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.02 prior to seeking payment from the Borrower (provided no payment shall need to be sought from the Borrower if the Borrower is insolvent or if the applicable party is stayed from such request under applicable Bankruptcy Laws) with respect to such indemnity; provided that if the Borrower is unable to make such payment on the Payment Date immediately following such written request, any Indemnified Party may then seek payment from the Servicer in accordance with this Section 8.02.

Section 8.03 Legal Proceedings. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes involved in any third party action, claim, or legal, governmental or administrative proceeding (an “Action”) for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other party or parties against whom it seeks indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the nature and particulars of the Action; provided that its failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure has a material adverse effect on the Indemnifying Party. Upon written notice to the Indemnified Party acknowledging in writing that the indemnification provided hereunder applies to the Indemnified Party in connection with the Action (subject to the exclusion in the first sentence of Section 8.01, the first sentence of Section 8.02 or Section 8.02(d), as applicable), the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of the Action at its expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel in connection with the Action, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable (except in the case of the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian) for the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party after the Indemnifying Party has done so; provided that if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Action, or that the Indemnifying Party is not conducting the defense of the Action in a manner reasonably protective of the interests of the Indemnified Party, the reasonable and reasonably documented out of pocket legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one Action or separate but substantially similar or related Actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (and any required local counsel) for such Indemnified Party, which firm (and local counsel, if any) shall be designated in writing to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Action, it shall have full control over the conduct of such defense; provided that the Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall, as reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party or its counsel, consult with and keep them informed with respect to the conduct of such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle an Action without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement absolves the Indemnified Party of any alleged misconduct and provides for the full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in connection with the Action. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Action.

Section 8.04 After-Tax Basis. Indemnification under Section 8.01 and 8.02 shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any Tax consequences or benefits to the Indemnified Party of the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder, including the effect of such Tax or refund on the amount of Tax measured by net income or profits that is or was payable by the Indemnified Party and all reductions in federal, state, local and foreign Taxes (including estimated Taxes) realized by the Indemnified Party as a result of the event(s) giving rise to such indemnity payment for all affected taxable years and periods.

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 9.01 The Administrative Agent.

(a) Appointment. Each Lender and each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each Lender and each Secured Party. Each Lender and each Secured Party further authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact (in each case, other than without the consent of the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to a Competitor) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects with reasonable care.

(c) Administrative Agent’s Reliance, etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Each Secured Party hereby waives any and all claims against the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the

-132-

Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Transferor), 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 and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Borrower, the Transferor, or the Servicer or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower, the Transferor, or the Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible (other than on behalf of itself) for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

(d) Actions by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the requisite Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or consent of the requisite Lenders; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. In the event the Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten Business Days of such Person’s receipt of such request, then such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.

(e) Notice of Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender, the Borrower or the Servicer referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Event of Default,” “Notice of Unmatured Event of Default” or “Notice of Servicer Termination Event,” as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 9.01(c)) take such action with respect to such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event as may be requested by the Required Lenders or as the Administrative Agent shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

(f) Credit Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender and each Secured Party acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Transferor or any of their respective Affiliates or review or approval of any of the Collateral Portfolio, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender and each Secured Party acknowledges that

-133-

it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender and each Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender and each Secured Party hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Transferor or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

(g) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Servicer), ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Commitments, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever 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 of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder; provided that the Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct for purposes of this Article IX. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Commitments, promptly upon demand for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Lenders hereunder and/or thereunder and to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or the Servicer.

(h) Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time, effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, by giving at least five days’ written notice thereof to each Lender and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with cause by the Required Lenders (without regard to the first proviso in the definition thereof). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Lenders acting jointly shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Each Lender agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be an Eligible Successor Agent (as defined below); provided that so long as no Event of Default has occurred (that has not been waived), the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for the appointment of any successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be either (i) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (ii) an Affiliate of such a bank (each, an “Eligible Successor Agent”). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor

-134-

Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

(i) Payments by the Administrative Agent. Unless specifically allocated to a specific Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders in accordance with their related Lender’s respective Pro Rata Shares in the applicable Advances Outstanding, or if there are no Advances Outstanding in accordance with their related Lender’s most recent Commitments, on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to each Lender on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such Lender not later than the following Business Day.

(j) Erroneous Payments. (i) If the Administrative Agent (x) 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 (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (ii)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly 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 transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 9.01(j) and held in trust for the benefit 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 (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative 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 (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) 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 in same day funds at the greater of the NYFRB 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 to any Payment Recipient under this clause (i) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (i), each Lender, Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), 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 any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

-135-

(A) it acknowledges and agrees that (I) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (II) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(B) such Lender or Secured Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to 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 the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.01(j)(ii).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.01(j)(ii) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.01(j)(i) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(iii) Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Secured Party under any Transaction Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (i).

(iv) (A) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (i), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (I) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an assignment and assumption agreement (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an assignment and assumption agreement by reference pursuant to an electronic platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (II) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (III) upon such deemed

-136-

acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (IV) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (V) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(B) Subject to Section 11.04, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Advances acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Advances are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(v) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative 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 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 Transaction Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Borrower’s Obligations under the Transaction Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Advances that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower; provided that this Section 9.01(j) 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; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, 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 from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

-137-

(vi) 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 for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(vii) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.01(j) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

(viii) The provisions of this Section 9.01(j) shall similarly apply to any erroneous payments made by the Securities Intermediary, mutatis mutandis.

In furtherance, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution by the Collateral Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Loan Assets now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove.

(ii) The Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Administrative Agent; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Agent, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Collateral Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto).

Section 11.03 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 11.04 Binding Effect; Assignability; Multiple Lenders. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Custodian and their respective successors and permitted assigns. With the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), each Lender and their respective successors and assigns may assign (i) this Agreement and such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations hereunder and interest herein in whole or in part and/or (ii) any Advance (or portion thereof) to any Person; provided that, (x) a Lender may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate without the prior consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (y) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (that has not been waived), a Lender may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior consent of the Borrower and (z) such assignee must represent and warrant that it is a Qualified Lender and not a natural person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person, and shall execute and deliver to the Servicer, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a fully-executed Transferee Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto (a “Transferee Letter”) and a fully-executed Joinder Supplement. The parties to any such assignment shall execute and deliver to the related Lender for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties and the applicable Lender. None of the Borrower, the Transferor or the Servicer may assign, or permit any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) to exist upon, any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any Transaction Document or any interest herein or in any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, other than any assignment effected in connection with a transaction that meets the requirements of Section 5.04(a).

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.04, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement, including to secure obligations of such Lender 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.

(c) Each Affected Party and each Indemnified Party shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

-145-

(d) Any Lender may at any time sell participations to any Person that represents and warrants that it is a Qualified Lender (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent 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, (iv) such Person shall have represented and agreed in writing (a copy of which writing shall be furnished to the Borrower, that (A) it is a Qualified Lender at the time of such sale, (B) it will be bound by the restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 11.04(d), and (C) such representations and agreements shall run to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Borrower; and (v) unless the grantee of such partication is an Affiliate of such Lender, the Borrower shall have consented to such sale of a participation (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b)(1) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.11(d)-(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.11(d)-(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.22 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (a) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 or 2.11, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in Appicable Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

Section 11.05 Term of This Agreement. This Agreement, including, without limitation, the Borrower’s representations and covenants set forth in Articles IV and V and the Servicer’s representations, covenants and duties set forth in Articles IV, V and VI, shall remain in full force and effect until the Collection Date; provided that the rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or the Servicer pursuant to Articles III and IV and the indemnification and payment provisions of Article VIII and IX and the provisions of Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 11.07, Section 11.08 and Section 11.09 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.06 Governing Law; Jury Waiver. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER.

Section 11.07 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. (a) In addition to the rights of indemnification granted to the Indemnified Parties under Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 hereof, the Borrower agrees to pay on the Payment Date pertaining to the Remittance Period in which such cost is incurred, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Custodian incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration (including periodic auditing), syndication, renewal, amendment or modification of, any waiver or consent issued in connection with, this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, including, without limitation, the reasonable and reasonably documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Custodian with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Custodian as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other documents to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any (including counsel fees and expenses), incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian in connection with the enforcement or potential enforcement of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by such Person and the other documents to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith; provided that, with respect to fees, costs and expenses of counsel, the Borrower shall be liable hereunder only for the reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses of one firm of outside counsel (along with local counsel) to each of (i) the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Lenders, (iii) the Collateral Agent, (iv) the Securities Intermediary, (v) the Collateral Administrator and (vi) the Collateral Custodian.

(b) The Borrower shall pay on the Payment Date pertaining to the Remittance Period in which such cost is incurred Other Taxes payable or determined to be payable to any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other document providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to the Lenders in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder.

(c) In accordance with and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay on demand all other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Administrator and the Securities Intermediary incurred in connection with periodic audits of the Borrower’s, the Transferor’s or the Servicer’s books and records conducted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for the costs and expenses of more than one such audit in any calendar year unless an Event of Default has occurred hereunder (that has not been waived), in which event the number of audits for which the Borrower shall be liable for the costs and expenses shall not be limited).

(d) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 11.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.08 No Proceedings. Each of the parties hereto (other than the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Borrower any proceedings of the type referred to in the definition of Bankruptcy Event so long as there shall not have elapsed one year and one day (or such longer preference period as shall then be in effect plus one day) since the Collection Date.
