ARTICLE III

ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE ADVANCES

(a) Making the Advances. If the Lenders are required to make an Advance to the Company as provided in Section 2.03, then each Lender shall make such Advance on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collateral Agent for deposit to the Collection Account; provided that the Company hereby directs the Lenders to pay proceeds of the Advance to be made on the Effective Date and proceeds of the Advance made in connection with the acquisition of the Post-Effective Date Initial Portfolio Investments (to the extent that such Advance is made under this Agreement upon satisfaction of the conditions thereto), in each case, in the amounts specified in the Effective Date Letter, in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Effective Date Letter. Each Lender at its option may make any Advance by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advance; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Company to repay such Advance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may borrow and prepay Advances.

Payment of the proceeds of Advances by the Lenders in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Effective Date Letter as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph will constitute the making of the applicable Advances (or portions thereof, as applicable) to the Company for all purposes and all obligations of the Lenders to make such Advance shall be satisfied thereby.

(b) Interest on the Advances. Subject to Section 3.01(h), all outstanding Advances shall bear interest (from and including the date on which such Advance is made) at a per annum rate equal to the LIBO RateBenchmark for each Calculation Period in effect plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule; provided that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all outstanding Advances and any unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest (from and including the date of such Event of Default) at a per annum rate equal to the LIBO RateBenchmark for each Calculation Period in effect plus the Adjusted Applicable Margin; provided further that, solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(b), if the aggregate amount of outstanding Advances at any time is less than the Minimum Funding Amount, the amount of outstanding Advances at such time shall be deemed to equal the Minimum Funding Amount and the interest rate in respect of the positive difference between the Minimum Funding Amount and the aggregate outstanding amount of the Advances shall be deemed to be the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule (plus, if applicable pursuant to the first proviso above, the Adjusted Applicable Margin).

(c) Evidence of the Advances. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Company to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a register (the “Register”) in which it shall record (1) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, (2) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Lender hereunder and (3) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(vii) If any Lender (A) provides notice of unlawfulness or requests compensation under Section 3.01(e) above or this Section 3.01(f), or if the Company is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.03, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with clause (vi) above, (B) defaults in its obligation to make Advances hereunder or (C) becomes subject to a Bail-In Action, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related transaction documents to an assignee identified by the Company that shall assume such obligations (whereupon such Lender shall be obligated to so assign); provided that, (x) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder through the date of such assignment and (y) a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. No prepayment fee that may otherwise be due hereunder shall be payable to such Lender in connection with any such assignment.

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

(i) If prior to the commencement of any Calculation Period: (x) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO RateBenchmark (including, without limitation, because the LIBO RateBenchmark is not available or published on a current basis), for U.S. dollar deposits and such Calculation Period; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or (y) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBO RateBenchmark, as applicable, for such Calculation Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their

- 43 -

Advances (or its Advance) included in such Advance for such Calculation Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, if any Advance is requested, such Advance shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule.

(ii)    If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (x) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.01(h)(i)(x) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (y) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.01(h)(i)(x) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Company shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such changes shall not include a reduction in the Applicable Margin). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.05, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (ii) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (y) of the first sentence of this Section 3.01(h)(ii), only to the extent the LIBO Rate for U.S. dollar deposits and such Calculation Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), if any Advance is requested, such advance shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule.

(b)    In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than as provided in the definition of “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes”).

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan 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 Term SOFR) 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 Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark (1) is no longer representative or will no longer be representative as of a specified date or (2) will cease to be provided by the administrator permanently or indefinitely as of specified date, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Calculation Period” 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 such Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is no longer or will no longer be representative for such Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Calculation Period” for all settings of such Benchmark at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Except in connection with a Market Value Cure, each partial prepayment of outstanding Advances shall be in an amount not less than U.S.$2,000,000 (or, if less, the aggregate outstanding amount thereof).

Accrued and unpaid Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, and on the date on which the Financing Commitments terminate. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
