If the Borrower has not entered into a binding obligation to purchase such Consent Collateral Loan within thirty (30) Business Days of the date of such approval or a material and adverse change occurs with respect to such Consent Collateral Loan or the related Obligor, then, except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, the Borrower shall re-submit an Approval Request and shall not be authorized to purchase such proposed Consent Collateral Loan until the Administrative Agent approves such updated Approval Request in its sole discretion. If the Administrative Agent has rejected an Approval Request, or withdrawn or withheld its approval of any such request, then the Borrower shall not be authorized to purchase such proposed Consent Collateral Loan unless, in the case of a withdrawn approval (including any withdrawal or requirement to re-submit an Approval Request pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence), the Administrative Agent has not withdrawn its approval at least three (3) Business Days prior to the time at which the Borrower enters into a commitment to purchase such proposed Consent Collateral Loan.

(c) On the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, including Article III, each Lender severally agrees to make loans to the Borrower (each, an “Advance”) from time to time on any Business Day during the Reinvestment Period, on a pro rata basis in each case in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to but not exceeding (x) in the case of Advances, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment and (y) in the aggregate, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment and, as to all Lenders, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not exceeding the

---

Borrowing Base (Aggregate) as then in effect. Each such borrowing of an Advance on any single day is referred to herein as a “Borrowing”.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Conduit Lender shall have any obligation to fund any Advances in any Eligible Currency other than Dollars.

Within such limits and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow (and re‑borrow) Advances under this Section 2.01 and prepay Advances under Section 2.05.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or on the Commitment Termination Date, the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account is less than the Unfunded Exposure Amount (such amount, the “Unfunded Reserve Account Shortfall”), the Borrower shall cause to be deposited in the Unfunded Reserve Account an amount equal to the Unfunded Reserve Account Shortfall, which amount may include proceeds from Advances. Following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing relating to the foregoing (which shall specify the account details of the Unfunded Reserve Account where the funds will be made available), each Lender shall fund its pro rata portion of such Advances in accordance with Section 2.02(d), notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02); provided that no such Advance may cause the Advances Outstanding to exceed the Borrowing Base (Aggregate).

Section 2.02 Making of the Advances

(a) If the Borrower desires to make a Borrowing under this Agreement it shall give the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator) a written notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) for such Borrowing (which notice shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt) not later than (i) if the Advance is denominated in an Eligible Currency other than Dollars, 2:00 p.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date and (ii) if the Advance is denominated in Dollars, 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date (or, in the case of same day funding, no later than 10:00 a.m. on the same Business Day); provided that the Borrower shall not request same day funding more than once in any calendar month.

(b) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, dated the date the request for the related Borrowing is being made, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower), shall attach a Borrowing Base Calculation Statement, and shall otherwise be appropriately completed. Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify the proposed Borrowing Date and the Eligible Currency. The proposed Borrowing Date specified in each Notice of Borrowing shall be a Business Day falling on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date and, with respect to Borrowings in Dollars, the amount of the Borrowing requested in such Notice of Borrowing (the “Requested Amount”) shall be equal to at least $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the remaining unfunded Commitments hereunder or, in the case of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans or Revolving Collateral Loans, such lesser amount required to be funded by the Borrower in respect

---

thereof); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a Borrowing in any Eligible Currency (other than Dollars), there is no required minimum amount or integral multiple.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of its receipt of such Notice of Borrowing by 5:00 p.m. on the day of receipt thereof (or, if such day is not a Business Day, by 12:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day); provided that, in the case of same day funding, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of its receipt of such Notice of Borrowing within two (2) hours of its receipt thereof.

(d) Each Lender shall, subject to Section 2.01(d) and Section 2.02(f), not later than 1:00 p.m. (or, if later, on a best efforts basis, within three (3) hours of its receipt of the related Notice of Borrowing) on each Borrowing Date in respect of Advances, make its Percentage of the applicable Requested Amount available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds by disbursing such funds to the account of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the wiring instruction set forth in the notification of Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.02(a). Once each Lender has funded its Percentage of the applicable Requested Amount, the Administrative Agent shall make the Requested Amount available to the Borrower by disbursing such funds to the applicable Collection Account.

(e) At no time will any Uncommitted Lender have any obligation to fund an Advance. At all times on and after the Conduit Advance Termination Date for a Conduit Lender in a Lender Group, all Advances shall be made by the Committed Lenders in such Lender Group. At any time when any Uncommitted Lender has failed to or has rejected a request to fund an Advance, the related Lender Agent shall so notify the Related Committed Lender or Liquidity Bank for such Uncommitted Lender and such Related Committed Lender or Liquidity Bank, as applicable, shall fund such Advance. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.02(e) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, no Committed Lender shall be obligated to provide its Lender Group Agent or the Borrower with funds in connection with an Advance in an amount that would result in the portion of the Advances then funded by it exceeding its Commitment then in effect. The obligation of the Committed Lender in each Lender Group to remit any Advance shall be several from that of the other Lenders, and the failure of any Committed Lender to so make such amount available to its Agent shall not relieve any other Committed Lender of its obligation hereunder.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Conduit Lender shall have any obligation to fund any Advance on the same day as the receipt by such Conduit Lender of a Notice of Borrowing for such requested Advance.

Section 2.03 Evidence of Indebtedness; Notes

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

---

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

(b) Any Lender may request that its Advances to the Borrower be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender and otherwise appropriately completed. Thereafter, the Advances of such Lender evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 12.06(a)) be represented by a Note payable to such Lender (or registered assigns pursuant to Section 12.06(a)), except to the extent that such Lender (or assignee) subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Advances once again be evidenced as described in clause (a) of this Section 2.03.

(c) If any Lender elects not to receive a Note, all references herein and the other Facility Documents to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Note shall be deemed to mean the Advances Outstanding with respect to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions herein and the other Facility Documents related to the Lenders hereunder shall apply to each Lender regardless of whether such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has received a Note.

Section 2.04 Payment of Amounts

The Borrower shall pay principal and Interest on the Advances and the fees set forth in the Facility Documents to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Lenders on a pro rata basis) in accordance with the Priority of Payments as follows:

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

(b) Interest shall accrue at the Interest Rate on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in full.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall determine the unpaid Interest, Undrawn Fees, and Prepayment Fees payable thereto prior to each Payment Date using the applicable Interest Rate for the related Interest Accrual Period to be paid by the Borrower with respect to each Advance on each Payment Date for the related Interest Accrual Period and shall advise each Lender and the Servicer thereof and shall send a consolidated invoice of all such Interest, Undrawn Fees, and Prepayment Fees to the Borrower (with copies to the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Agent) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to such Payment Date. The Collateral Administrator shall have no duty to verify or recalculate the amounts provided by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04 and is fully protected in relying on these amounts when preparing the Monthly Report or Payment Date Report.

(d) Accrued Interest on each Advance shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Payment Date, and (ii) in connection with any prepayment in full of the Advances pursuant to Section 2.05(a); provided that (x) with respect to any prepayment in full of the Advances Outstanding, accrued Interest on such amount through the date of prepayment may be payable on such date or as otherwise agreed to between the Lenders and the Borrower and (y) with respect to any partial prepayment of the Advances outstanding, accrued Interest on such amount through the

---

date of prepayment shall be payable on the Payment Date following such prepayment. Accrued Undrawn Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date.

(e) The obligation of the Borrower to pay the Obligations, including the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Lenders on a pro rata basis) the outstanding principal amount of the Advances and accrued interest thereon, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof (including Section 2.15), under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against any Secured Party or any other Person.

Section 2.05 Prepayment of Advances

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day, voluntarily prepay Advances in whole or in part, without penalty or premium; provided that the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent written notice of such prepayment (such notice, a “Notice of Prepayment”) in the form of Exhibit C hereto not later than 3:00 p.m. one (1) Business Day (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such Notice of Prepayment. Each such Notice of Prepayment shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt and shall be dated the date such notice is being given, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) and otherwise appropriately completed; provided that any such Notice of Prepayment may be conditioned upon the happening or occurrence of a specified event, and thereafter revoked in the event that such specified event does not occur. Each prepayment by the Borrower of any Advance denominated in Dollars pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) (other than a prepayment made in order to cure any non‑compliance with the Borrowing Base Test) shall in each case be in a principal amount of at least $100,000 or, if less, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Advances Outstanding or, in the case of any prepayment of Advances with the proceeds of a prepayment or repayment of principal of Collateral Loans, such lesser amount as is paid by the applicable Obligor in respect thereof. Each prepayment by the Borrower of an Advance denominated in an Eligible Currency shall be made with such Eligible Currency. If a Notice of Prepayment is given by (or on behalf of) the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein unless such notice is rescinded in accordance with this paragraph.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. The Borrower shall prepay the Advances on each Payment Date in the manner and to the extent provided in the Priority of Payments, including as applicable and without limitation, the outstanding Mandatory Amortization Amount, if any, applicable to each applicable Payment Date.

The Borrower shall provide to the Collateral Administrator, for inclusion in each Payment Date Report, notice of the aggregate amounts of Advances that are to be prepaid on the related Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(c) Borrowing Base Deficiency Cures.

---

(i) In addition to any other obligation of the Borrower to cure any Borrowing Base Deficiency pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, if any Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, then the Borrower may eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency in its entirety by effecting one or more (or any combination thereof) of the following actions: (A) deposit into or credit to the Collection Account cash and Eligible Investments, (B) repay Advances (together with all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Agents, Custodian, Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary and the Lenders for which the Borrower has received a reasonably detailed invoice prior to such date of repayment, in each case in respect of the amount so repaid), (C) sell Collateral Loans in accordance with Article X, (D) during the Reinvestment Period, pledge additional Collateral Loans as Collateral and/or (E) deliver an Equity Cure Notice pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii) (and after delivery of such Equity Cure Notice, the Borrower shall eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency in accordance with such Section 2.05(c)(ii)). For the avoidance of doubt, no Prepayment Fee shall be required in connection with any prepayment of an Advance made to cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency.

(ii) The Borrower may cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i)(E) by delivering a notice to the Administrative Agent within three (3) Business Days after such Borrowing Base Deficiency (such notice, an “Equity Cure Notice”) and subject to the following requirements:

(A) such Equity Cure Notice sets forth evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that (1) the Equityholder has rights pursuant to its Constituent Documents to call capital from its equityholders in an aggregate amount sufficient to cure such Borrowing Base Deficiency (in combination with the other cures thereof permitted under Section 2.05(c)(i)), (2) the Equityholder has made a capital call on its equityholder(s) in an aggregate amount sufficient to cure such Borrowing Base Deficiency (in combination with the other cures thereof permitted under Section 2.05(c)(i)) and (3) the proceeds of such capital call will be contributed by the Equityholder to the Borrower;

(B) the amount necessary to cure such Borrowing Base Deficiency (in combination with the other cures thereof permitted under Section 2.05(c)(i)) is contributed from the Equityholder to the Borrower in immediately available funds, and such amount shall be applied by the Borrower to cure such Borrowing Base Deficiency (in combination with the other cures thereof permitted under Section 2.05(c)(i)) within ten (10) Business Days of the date such Equity Cure Notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; and

(C) no more than two Equity Cure Notices has been delivered within the previous twelve (12) calendar months;

provided that no Equity Cure Notice may be delivered if, with respect to any prior capital call duly made by the Equityholder in accordance with the terms of its constituent documents, the Equityholder shall have received by the applicable due date (after all applicable grace periods elapsed) less than 85% (measured as a percentage of the aggregate amount of such capital call) of such capital call with no more than three (3) unaffiliated

---

limited partners defaulting on such capital call; provided, further, that the Equityholder shall provide prompt written notice to the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of the foregoing; provided, further, that if the Equityholder is unable to raise the required capital to cure any such event, the Equityholder shall not be permitted to deliver any future Equity Cure Notices.

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

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

(d) Additional Prepayment Provisions. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be subject to Section 2.04(d) and applied to the Advances in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Percentages.

Section 2.06 Changes of Commitments

(a) Automatic Reduction and Termination. The Commitments of all Lenders shall be automatically reduced to zero at 5:00 p.m. on the Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Optional Termination or Reductions. Prior to the Final Maturity Date, the Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the unused amount of the Facility Amount at any time or from time to time without any fee or penalty, except as specified in Section 2.12(b), upon not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior notice (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Administrator and the Custodian 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 any notice received after 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day; provided, further, that (i) the amount of any such reduction of the Facility Amount shall be equal to at least $500,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the remaining unused portion thereof (or, in the case of an Eligible Currency (other than Dollars), no minimum amount or integral multiple), and (ii) no such reduction will reduce the Facility Amount below the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Advances

---

Outstanding at such time and (y) the Unfunded Reserve Required Amount. Such notice of termination or reduction shall be irrevocable (provided that any such notice may be conditioned upon the happening or occurrence of a specified event, and thereafter revoked in the event that such specified event does not occur) and shall be effective only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Administrator and the Custodian, and shall attach, in the case of a reduction of the Commitments, a Borrowing Base Calculation Statement. Other than as permitted in Section 2.20(a) with respect to any Potential Terminated Lender, each reduction of Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall be applied pro rata to reduce the respective Commitments of each Lender.

(c) Effect of Termination or Reduction. The Commitments of the Lenders once terminated or reduced may not be reinstated. Each reduction of the Facility Amount pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be applied ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 2.07 Maximum Lawful Rate

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

Section 2.08 Several Obligations

The failure of any Lender to make any Advance to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Advance on such date. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator, shall be responsible for the failure of any Lender to make any Advance, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make an Advance required to be made by such other Lender.

Section 2.09 Increased Costs

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

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

(ii) subject any Secured Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Non‑Excluded Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

---

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to any Affected Person of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Advance) or to increase the cost to, or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest, fees, compensation or otherwise) or sum received or receivable by, such Affected Person hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, compensation or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Affected Person from time to time after receipt of a written demand by a Responsible Officer of such Affected Person in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such demand. If a Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under this Section 2.09, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender, suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Advances by reference to the applicable Benchmark, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case (x) all Advances of such Lender shall be made or continued by reference to the Base Rate and (y) such Lender shall have no obligation to make any Advances by reference to the applicable Benchmark); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation required in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have (but for the operation of this Section 2.09) the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital or on the capital of such Affected Person’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement (or arising in connection herewith) or the Advances made by such Affected Person to a level below that which such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Person’s policies and the policies of such Affected Person’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity coverage) by an amount deemed to be material by such Affected Person, then any such Affected Person shall give the Borrower (and the Servicer) prompt notice thereof and from time to time after written demand by such Affected Person, the Borrower will pay to such Affected Person in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company for any such reduction suffered or charge imposed on the Payment Date after the Borrower’s receipt of such demand.

(c) Calculation. In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.09, the Affected Person may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Affected Person making a claim under this Section 2.09, shall submit to the Borrower and the Servicer a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Affected Person setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of such additional or increased costs, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that no Lender shall be requested to disclose confidential or price sensitive information or any other information, to the extent prohibited by Applicable Law. The Borrower shall pay such amount shown as due on any such certificate on the next Payment Date after receipt thereof.

---

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 2.09 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Borrower and the Servicer of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six‑month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Lending Office. Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the Borrower’s obligation to pay additional amounts to a Lender pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.09, such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation would reduce or obviate the obligations of the Borrower to make future payments of such additional amounts; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no material unreimbursed cost or material legal or regulatory disadvantage (as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such provision.

Section 2.10 [Reserved].

Section 2.11 Illegality; Inability to Determine Rates

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event of a Disruption Event, the affected Lender shall promptly notify the Agents and the Borrower thereof (or, if such Lender is a Conduit Lender, the related Lender Agent shall provide such notice to the Collateral Agent and the Borrower on behalf of such Conduit Lender), and such Lender’s obligation to make or maintain Advances hereunder based on the applicable Benchmark shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Advances based on the applicable Benchmark.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to a Lender’s suspending its obligation to make or maintain Advances based on the applicable Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.11(a), such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation would enable such Lender to again make and maintain Advances based on such Benchmark; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no unreimbursed cost or material legal or regulatory disadvantage (as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such provision.

(c) If, prior to the first day of any Interest Accrual Period or prior to the date of any Advance, as applicable, either (i) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the applicable Benchmark, or (ii) the Required Lenders determine and notify the Administrative Agent that such Benchmark with respect to such Advances does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of

---

funding such Advances, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Advances based on such Benchmark shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

(d) Upon receipt of any notice described in Section 2.11(a) or (c), the Borrower may revoke any pending request for the making or continuation of an Advance based on the Benchmark or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for an Advance based on the Base Rate. For the avoidance of doubt, no Advances shall be required to be repaid as a result of any circumstance or determination made pursuant to this Section 2.11.

Section 2.12 Fees

(a) Undrawn Fee. On each Payment Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Lenders on a pro rata basis) the Undrawn Fee in the amount set forth in the Lender Fee Letter.

(b) Prepayment Fee. If, at any time prior to the two-year anniversary of the A&R Effective Date, the Facility Amount is reduced in whole or in part at the option or election of the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Lenders on a pro rata basis), a prepayment fee in the amount set forth in the Lender Fee Letter.

(c) Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agents such fees as are mutually agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Agents, including the fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter.

(d) Collateral Administrator, Custodian and Securities Intermediary Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary such fees as are mutually agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary, including the fees set forth in the Collateral Administration and Agency Fee Letter.

Section 2.13 Rescission or Return of Payment

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

Section 2.14 Default Interest

During the existence and continuance of an Event of Default, at the election of the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders (or, in the case of Section 6.01(h), automatically), all

---

Obligations (other than the Advances, where the default rate is reflected in the Applicable Margin) shall bear interest at the Default Rate until rescinded by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders. Interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 2.15 Payments Generally

(a) All amounts owing and payable to any Secured Party, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party, in respect of the Advances and other Obligations, including the principal thereof, interest, fees, indemnities, expenses or other amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Facility Document, shall be paid on behalf and at the direction of the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) by the Collateral Agent to the applicable recipient in an Eligible Currency in immediately available funds, on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and all without counterclaim, setoff, deduction, defense, abatement, suspension or deferment; provided that any amounts payable to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Facility Document shall be paid on behalf and at the direction of the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders on a pro rata basis. Each Lender shall provide wire instructions to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Other than with respect to payments on a Payment Date, payments must be received by the Administrative Agent on or prior to 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day to be remitted by the Administrative Agent on such Business Day to the Lenders; provided that payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day will be deemed to have been paid on the next following Business Day. At no time will the Administrative Agent have any duty (express or implied) to fund (or front or advance) any amount owing by the Borrower hereunder.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all computations of Interest, the Interest Rate, fees and other Obligations shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed; provided that, for any Advances other than Advances funded by any Conduit Lender, all computations based on (x) Daily Compounded ▇▇▇▇▇ shall be based on a year consisting of 365 days and (y) the Base Rate shall be based on a year consisting of 365 days or 366 days, as applicable. In computing interest on any Advance, the date of the making of the Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided that, if an Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s Interest shall be paid on such Advance. All computations made by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Facility Document shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Eligible Currency.

(i) For purposes of Section 9.01(a), any amounts on deposit in the Collection Account denominated in any Eligible Currency shall be applied on any Payment Date (i) first, to make payments in such Eligible Currency and (ii) second, to make payments in any other Eligible Currency (pro rata based on available amounts from each other Eligible Currency), as converted by the Servicer using the Applicable Conversion Rate; provided, that such payments shall be subject to availability of such funds pursuant to Section 9.01(a).

---

(ii) The Servicer shall instruct the Collateral Agent (who shall forward such instruction to the Securities Intermediary), no later than the Determination Date immediately preceding each Payment Date, to convert amounts on deposit in the Collection Account into Dollars or any other Eligible Currency to the extent necessary to make payments pursuant to Section 9.01(a), as applicable (as determined by the Servicer using the Applicable Conversion Rate).

(iii) Any Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account denominated in an Eligible Currency may be converted by the Servicer into another Eligible Currency on any Business Day (other than a Payment Date) using the Applicable Conversion Rate so long as such conversion does not cause Advances outstanding in any Eligible Currency to exceed the applicable Borrowing Base for such Eligible Currency immediately after giving effect thereto. The Servicer shall provide no less than one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent of any such conversion.

Section 2.16 Defaulting Lenders

(a) Adjustments. 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 pursuant to Section 2.16(b), to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 12.01.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX 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 such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such 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 in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is 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 the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; provided that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such amounts shall be applied to reduce the outstanding Obligations in accordance with the Priority of Payments; and sixth, to such 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 such 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 such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. 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 2.16 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.12(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer 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, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par 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 Outstanding to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Percentages, whereupon such 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; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.17 Right of Setoff

The Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set‑off that the Agents or any Lender may otherwise have, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default each of the Agents and the Lenders shall be entitled, at its option, to offset amounts owing by the Agents or such Lender, as the case may be, to the Borrower, in Dollars or in any other currency (irrespective of the place of payment or booking office of the obligation and regardless of whether such amounts are then due to the Borrower), against any amount payable by the Borrower to the Agents or such Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement that is not paid when due; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agents a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. For this purpose, any amount owing by the Agents or any Lender to the Borrower may be converted

---

by the Agents or such Lender, as the case may be, into the currency in which the amount payable by the Borrower to the Agents or such Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement is denominated at the rate of exchange at which the Agents or such Lender, as the case may be, would be able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency.

Section 2.18 Lending Offices; Changes Thereto

Each Lender may at any time or from time to time designate, by written notice to the Administrative Agent to the extent not already reflected on Schedule 1, one or more domestic or foreign lending offices (which, for this purpose, may include branches or Affiliates of the respective Lender) for the various Advances made by such Lender (including by designating a separate lending office (or Affiliate) to act as such); provided that, for designations made after the A&R Effective Date to the extent such designation shall result in increased costs under Section 2.09 or additional amounts under Section 12.03 in excess of those which would be charged in the absence of the designation of a different lending office (including a different Affiliate of the respective Lender), then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased costs or additional amounts (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay the costs or additional amounts which would apply in the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes in law after the date of the respective designation). Each lending office and Affiliate of any Lender designated as provided above shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be treated in the same manner as the respective Lender (and shall be entitled to all indemnities and similar provisions in respect of its acting as such hereunder) and any designation of a lending office pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay any Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.19 Recourse Against Certain Parties

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement are limited recourse obligations of the Borrower (and not any of its Affiliates or any other party) payable solely from the Collateral in accordance with the Priority of Payments and, following realization of the Collateral, and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the Priority of Payments and, subject to Section 2.13, all obligations of and any claims against the Borrower hereunder or in connection herewith after such realization shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had against any officer, director, employee, shareholder, member, manager, agent, partner, principal or incorporator of the Borrower or their respective successors or assigns for any amounts payable under this Agreement. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.19 shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any Indebtedness or obligation evidenced by this Agreement until such Collateral has been realized. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.19 shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Borrower as a party defendant in any proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under this Agreement, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against the Borrower.

---

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any of the Facility Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge that the obligations of any Conduit Lender arising hereunder are limited recourse obligations payable solely from the unsecured assets of such Conduit Lender subject to the immediately succeeding paragraphs (the “Available Funds”) and, following the application of such Available Funds or the proceeds thereof, any claims of the parties hereto (and the obligations of such Conduit Lender) shall be extinguished. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing under this Agreement against any officer, member, director, employee, security holder or incorporator of any Conduit Lender or its successors or assigns, and no action may be brought against any officer, member, director, employee, security holder or incorporator of any Conduit ▇▇▇▇▇▇ personally. The parties hereto agree that they will not petition a court, or take any action or commence any proceedings, for the liquidation or the winding-up of, or the appointment of an examiner to, any Conduit ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as provided in Section 12.16, or any other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings with respect to such Conduit Lender; provided that nothing in this sentence shall limit the right of any party hereto to file any claim or otherwise take any action with respect to any proceeding of the type described in this sentence that was instituted against any Conduit Lender by any Person other than such party. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Lender shall, nor shall any Conduit Lender be obligated to, pay any amount pursuant to this Agreement unless (i) such Conduit Lender has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay its commercial paper notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit Lender could issue commercial paper notes to refinance all of its outstanding commercial paper notes (assuming such outstanding commercial paper notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing its securitization program or (y) all of such Conduit Lender’s commercial paper notes are paid in full. Any amount which any Conduit Lender does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code) against or obligation of such Conduit Lender for any such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Lender satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.20 Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that (i) any Affected Person shall request reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.09, (ii) the Borrower shall be required to reimburse any Affected Person for any Non-Excluded Taxes or pay any additional amounts to any Affected Person or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Affected Person pursuant to Section 12.03, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender under clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above that is not affiliated with the Administrative Agent, a “Potential Terminated Lender”), (iv) 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 has been approved by the Required Lenders or (v) during the Reinvestment Period, has become the subject of a Bail-In Action (such non-consenting Lender, also, a “Potential Terminated Lender”), the Borrower, at its sole expense and effort, shall be permitted, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and such Potential Terminated Lender, to require such Potential Terminated Lender to (x) assign and

---

delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.09 and 12.03) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Facility Documents to an assignee permitted pursuant to Section 12.06 (a “Replacement Lender”) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if such Lender accepts such assignment) or (y) terminate all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Facility Documents and reduce the aggregate Commitments outstanding; provided that:

(A) 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 Facility Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.10 but subject to Section 2.17) from 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);

(B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.09 or 12.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

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

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

(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 Facility Documents, (ii) the applicable Potential Terminated Lender shall have no further Commitment hereunder (such Person, a “Terminated Lender”) and (iii) such Replacement Lender shall have a Commitment in the amount not less than the Terminated ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment assumed by it.

(c) No Lender shall be required to make any assignment or delegation pursuant to Section 2.20(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 2.21 Contractual Currency

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, if any judgment or order expressed in a currency other than the currency in which a payment is required by this Agreement is to be made by the Borrower (the “Contractual Currency”) is rendered:

(a) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement; or

---

(b) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment of any amount described in the foregoing clause (a),

the recipient of such payment, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which the recipient of such payment is entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive promptly from the Borrower the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual Currency received by the recipient of such payment as a consequence of sums being paid in such other currency if such shortfall arises or results from any variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which the recipient of such payment is able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by the recipient of such payment. The term “rate of exchange” includes any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the Contractual Currency.

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the obligations in this Section constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations in this Agreement and any related document, will be enforceable as separate and independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the recipient of such payment and will not be affected by judgment being obtained or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this Agreement or any related document. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby waives the right to invoke any defense of payment impossibility.

(a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, during the continuance of an Event of Default, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for (and subject to the terms and conditions set forth) in this Agreement including without limitation the following powers: (i) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (ii) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (iii) 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 hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, (iv) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Facility Document, (v) to give notice to the Obligors and related agents of the Collateral Agent’s interest in the Collateral and the obligation to make payments as directed by the Administrative Agent, and (vi) to exercise directly the Servicer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, including the exercise of rights set forth in Section 6.02(b), if and to the extent that the Servicer has not complied with any direction given by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement within three (3) Business Days after the Business Day on which such direction was given to the Servicer; provided that no such direction or lapse of time shall be required after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Servicer Termination Event. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.

(b) No person to whom this power of attorney is presented as authority for the Administrative Agent to take any action or actions contemplated by clause (a) shall inquire into or seek confirmation from the Borrower as to the authority of the Administrative Agent to take any action described below, or as to the existence of or fulfillment of any condition to the power of attorney described in clause (a), which is intended to grant to the Administrative Agent unconditionally the authority to take and perform the actions contemplated herein, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower irrevocably waives any right to commence any suit or action, in law or equity, against any person or entity that acts in reliance upon or acknowledges the authority granted under this power of attorney. The power of attorney granted in clause (a) is coupled with an interest and may not be revoked or canceled by the Borrower until all obligations of the Borrower under the Facility Documents have been Paid in Full and the Administrative Agent has provided its written consent thereto.

---

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall only be exercisable after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Section 6.04 Sales

(a) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer recognizes that an Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof. Each of the Borrower and the Servicer acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of being a private sale.

(b) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer further agrees that a breach of any of their covenants contained in this Section 6.04 will cause irreparable injury to the Agents, that the Agents have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.04 shall be specifically enforceable against the Borrower and the Servicer, and each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that there has been a Payment in Full.

(c) Pursuant to the UCC, each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby specifically agrees (x) that it shall not raise any objection to a Secured Party’s purchase of the Collateral (through bidding on the obligations or otherwise) and (y) that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in various no action letters promulgated by the SEC staff (1) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of the UCC and (2) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that a Secured Party purchases the Collateral at such a sale.

(d) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer agrees that the Servicer shall not have any general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any Collateral sold by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. The Servicer may, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, among other things, accept the first bid received, or decide to approach or not approach any potential purchasers. Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby agrees that the Servicer (at the direction of the Administrative Agent) shall have the right to conduct, and shall not incur any liability as a result of, the sale of any Collateral, or any part thereof, at any sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, it being agreed by the parties hereto that some or all of the Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily in value. The Borrower and the Servicer hereby waive any claims against the Secured Parties arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any of the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement, even if the Servicer accepts the first bid received and does not offer any Collateral to more than one bidder. Without in any way limiting the Servicer’s right to conduct a foreclosure sale in any manner which is considered commercially reasonable, each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby agrees that any foreclosure sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions shall be considered a commercially

---

reasonable sale, and each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby irrevocably waives any right to contest any such sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) the Servicer conducts such foreclosure sale in the State of New York;

(ii) such foreclosure sale is conducted in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York; and

(iii) not more than thirty (30) days before, and not less than ten (10) days in advance of such foreclosure sale, the Servicer notifies the Borrower at the address set forth herein of the time and place of such foreclosure sale.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Facility Document, in connection with any liquidation or disposition of the Collateral, including without limitation, upon the termination of the Commitments following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Equityholder and/or any of its Affiliates or managed funds shall have the right to purchase the Collateral subject to such liquidation or at a purchase price at least equal to the sum of the then accrued and outstanding Obligations, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. Any such party may exercise such right by delivering written notice to the Administrative Agent (an “Exercise Notice”), which shall include a proposed purchase price and be delivered not later than two (2) Business Days after the date on which the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of such Event of Default and termination of the Commitments, as applicable, and the intent of the Administrative Agent to liquidate or dispose of the Collateral, and which Exercise Notice shall set forth evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the Equityholder or any such Affiliate or managed fund has access to sufficient capital to consummate such purchase in accordance with this clause (e). Once an Exercise Notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent, the delivering party (or its designated Affiliate or managed fund) shall be obligated, irrevocably and unconditionally, to purchase the Collateral, at the price referenced above, for settlement within the normal settlement period for such Collateral. The cash purchase price must be received no later than five (5) Business Days following delivery of the Exercise Notice. Neither the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall assert any right or remedy in respect of the Collateral, including any right described in Section 6.02(b) or Section 7.03, or cause the removal of the Servicer pursuant to Section 14.08, or cause the liquidation or disposition of the Collateral Loans to occur, in each case during the time that the Equityholder, its Affiliates and managed funds are entitled to provide an Exercise Notice and purchase the Collateral pursuant to this Section 6.04(e).

Such appointment shall in no way impose upon the Collateral Agent any obligation to take any such action unless specifically directed to do so and subject to the receipt of an indemnity from the Lenders reasonably satisfactory to it.

Section 7.04 Remedies Cumulative

Each right, power, and remedy of the Agents and the other Secured Parties, or any of them, as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Agents or any other Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such Persons of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.

Section 7.05 Related Documents

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

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

The Borrower further authorizes, but does not obligate, the Collateral Agent to file UCC‑1 financing statements and continuation statements therefor, that name the Borrower as debtor and the Collateral Agent as secured party and that describes “all assets in which the debtor now or hereafter has rights” (or words of similar effect) as the Collateral in which the Collateral Agent has a grant of security hereunder. Such designation shall not impose upon the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, or release or diminish, the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 7.07.

Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall, not earlier than six (6) months and not later than one (1) month prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of filing of any financing statement filed pursuant to this Agreement authorize, deliver and file or cause to be filed an appropriate continuation statement with respect to each such financing statement.

Borrower, who shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such accounting by the applicable Payment Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower has engaged the Collateral Administrator pursuant to Article XV hereof to compile and provide the information and reports to be provided in this Section 8.08; provided, however, that the Collateral Administrator’s obligation to compile and provide such information and reports is subject to the receipt of the information necessary to do so from the Servicer and the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.09 Release of Collateral

(a) If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, by delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Custodian on the Business Day prior to the settlement date for any sale of any item of Collateral certifying that the sale of such Collateral is being made in accordance with Section 10.01 and such sale complies with all applicable requirements of Section 10.01 (which certificate shall be deemed delivered upon delivery by the Borrower or the Servicer of a trade ticket or other instruction), direct the Collateral Agent (or the Custodian at the direction of the Collateral Agent) to release or cause to be released such item from the Lien of this Agreement and, upon receipt of such certificate, the Collateral Agent (or Custodian, as applicable) shall deliver any such item, if in physical form, duly endorsed to the broker or purchaser designated in such certificate or, if such item is a Clearing Corporation Security, cause an appropriate transfer thereof to be made, in each case against receipt of the sales price therefor as specified by the Servicer in such certificate; provided that the Collateral Agent (or the Custodian at the direction of the Collateral Agent) may deliver any such item in physical form for examination in accordance with street delivery custom; provided, further, that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Custodian will be deemed to have notice of an Event of Default unless it has received notice thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a trade ticket or other confirmation of trade in respect of such sale of Collateral delivered by the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) to the Collateral Agent and the Custodian shall constitute certification as to the matters described in this Section 8.09, and the Collateral Agent and the Custodian may conclusively rely on such certification.

(b) The Collateral Agent (or the Custodian at the direction of the Collateral Agent) shall, upon the receipt of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer (which certificate shall be deemed delivered upon delivery by the Borrower or the Servicer of a trade ticket or other instruction), deliver any Collateral in accordance with such certificate, and execute such documents or instruments as are delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower and reasonably necessary to release or cause to be released such security from the Lien of this Agreement, which is set for any mandatory call or redemption or payment in full to the appropriate paying agent on or before the date set for such call, redemption or payment, in each case against receipt of the call or redemption price or payment in full thereof.

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

---

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

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

(f) Any direction received by the Collateral Agent or the Custodian, as applicable, on or prior to 4:00 p.m. on any Business Day shall be effective on such Business Day and any direction received by the Collateral Agent or the Custodian, as applicable, after 4:00 p.m. on any Business Day, or at any time on any day that is not a Business Day, shall be effective in each case on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 8.10 Reports by Independent Accountants

(a) The Servicer will appoint an independent audit or consulting firm specializing in securitization transactions (together with its successors, the “Independent Accountants”) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to review and deliver the reports of such accountants required by this Agreement. The fees of such Independent Accountants and any successor shall be payable by the Borrower.

(b) The Servicer shall cause the Independent Accountants to furnish to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2025 (each such date, a “Report Date”), a report relating to a selection of Monthly Reports (as agreed by the Servicer and the Administrative Agent), delivered during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding such Report Date, to the effect that such firm has applied certain agreed‑upon procedures approved by the Administrative Agent as of the A&R Effective Date (it being understood that the Borrower shall cause such Independent Accountants to comply with updates to such agreed‑upon procedures from time to time in response to reasonable requests of the Administrative Agent to the extent such the Borrower is able in good faith to cause such compliance without undue burden or expense) with respect to such reports from the related period and, with respect to the Servicer’s performance hereunder, to assist the Administrative Agent in determining that the Monthly Reports for the related period were prepared in compliance with this Agreement, except for such exceptions as it believes to be immaterial and such other exceptions as will be set forth in such firm’s report (including, with respect to any such exceptions, an explanation of how each such exception arose and reflecting the input/explanation of the Servicer thereto). Such reports pursuant to this clause (b) shall be at the expense of the Borrower. Each such report pursuant to this clause (b) shall include a certification by the Servicer as to whether a Servicer Termination Event occurred during the related testing period and, if any occurred, an explanation as to its resolution.

(c) In the event the Independent Accountants require the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, to agree to the procedures performed by such Independent Accountants with respect to any of the reports, statements of such Independent

---

Accountants, or sign any agreement in connection therewith, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, is hereby directed by the Borrower, to so agree to the terms and conditions requested by such Independent Accountants as a condition to receiving documentation required by this Agreement; it being understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall deliver such agreement in conclusive reliance on such direction and shall make no inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or responsibility in respect of, the terms of the engagement of such Independent Accountants by the Borrower or the sufficiency, validity or correctness of the agreed upon procedures in respect of such engagement. The Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator may require the delivery of additional written direction to the execution of any such agreement required for the delivery of any report or statement of such Independent Accountants to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator under this Agreement. The Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator are hereby authorized, without liability on their part, to execute and deliver any such agreement with such Independent Accountants, which agreement, to the extent so directed by the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower), may include, amongst other things, (i) an acknowledgement that the Borrower has agreed that the procedures by such Independent Accountants are sufficient for the relevant purposes, (ii) releases by the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator of any claims, liabilities and expenses arising out of or relating to such Independent Accountant’s engagement, agreed‑upon procedures or any report or statement issued by such Independent Accountants under any such engagement and acknowledgement of other limitations of liability in favor of such Independent Accountants and (iii) restrictions or prohibitions on the disclosure of any such reports, statements or other information or documents provided to it by such Independent Accountants.

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

(b) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any officer, agent or representative thereof shall be personally liable for any action taken by any such Person in accordance with any notice

---

given by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Facility Document even if, at the time such action is taken by any such Person, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders or Persons purporting to be the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders are not entitled to give such notice, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of the same or unless the Collateral Agent acts in breach of its standard of care hereunder. If any dispute or disagreement shall arise as to the allocation of any sum of money received by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any Facility Document, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver such sum to a court of competent jurisdiction and therein commence an action for interpleader.

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

(d) Instructions to Collateral Agent.

(i) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action unless it has such instruction (in the form of Proper Instructions) from the Borrower (or the Servicer on the Borrower’s behalf) the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, as it reasonably deems necessary. In the absence of gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any action (or forbearance from action) taken pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or pursuant to any Proper Instruction of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable.

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

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

---

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

(i) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of any fact, claim or demand with respect hereto unless actually known by a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent or unless (and then only to the extent) received in writing by the Collateral Agent and specifically referencing this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of any notices, documents, instruments or reports delivered or prepared by the Collateral Administrator. The Collateral Agent is not responsible for or chargeable with knowledge of any terms or conditions contained in any other agreement to which it is not a party referred to herein. It is hereby acknowledged that the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for filing or recording any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted by any Person under any Facility Document or Related Document.

(ii) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action (or forbear from action) hereunder which might in its judgment involve any expense or any financial or other liability unless it shall be furnished with acceptable indemnification. Nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Agent to commence, prosecute or defend legal proceedings in any instance, whether on behalf of the Borrower or on its own behalf or otherwise, with respect to any matter arising hereunder, or relating to this Agreement or the services contemplated hereby.

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

(iv) The Collateral Agent may act or exercise its duties or powers hereunder through agents or attorneys‑in‑fact, and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for the actions, omissions, negligence or misconduct of any such agent or attorney‑in‑fact selected by it with reasonable care.

(v) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to determine the Interest Rate or whether an asset is an Eligible Collateral Loan or otherwise satisfies any eligibility requirements hereunder. None of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator shall be under any obligation to (i) monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of the applicable Benchmark or Benchmark Replacement, the Prime Rate, Federal Funds Rate or other Base Rate, or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or determine whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, or (iii) determine whether or what Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing. None of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator shall be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to

---

perform any of its duties set forth in this Agreement or other Facility Document to the extent such inability, failure or delay is a result of the unavailability of any Benchmark (or other applicable rate) and absence of a designated Benchmark Replacement, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or other Facility Document and reasonably required for the performance of such duties.

(vi) If at any time the Collateral Agent is served with any judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process (including orders of attachment or garnishment or other forms of levies or injunctions or stays relating to the transfer of any Collateral), the Collateral Agent is authorized to comply therewith in any manner as it or its legal counsel of its own choosing deems appropriate, and if the Collateral Agent complies with any such judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person even though such order, judgment, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect.

(vii) The Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss which may result from any investment or sale of investment made pursuant to this Agreement. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized, in making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Agreement, 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 Collateral Agent or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to be providing any investment supervision, recommendations, or advice.

(viii) The Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in ‎acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, ‎opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, note or other paper or ‎document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the ‎proper party or parties.‎

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

---

Collateral available to it under this Agreement or any other Facility ‎Document or any Related Document unless and until directed by the Required Lenders ‎‎(or the Administrative Agent on their behalf).‎

(x) Concurrently herewith, the Administrative Agent directs the Collateral Agent and the Collateral ‎Agent is authorized to enter into the Account Control Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the ‎Collateral Agent’s rights, protections and immunities provided herein shall apply to the ‎Collateral Agent for any actions taken or omitted to be taken under the Securities Account ‎Control Agreement in such ‎capacity.‎

Section 11.02 Delegation of Duties

(a) Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Facility Document by or through Affiliates, agents or attorneys‑in‑fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties; provided that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may not execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Facility Document by or through a Disqualified Institution. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any non-Affiliated agents or attorneys‑in‑fact selected by it with reasonable care.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 11.02(a), the Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time designate one or more of its Affiliates to execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Facility Document.

Section 11.03 Agents’ Reliance, Etc.

(a) Neither Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Servicer or any of their Affiliates) and independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by such Agent in good faith in accordance with such opinion and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Secured Party or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any Person for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Facility Documents; (iii) shall not have any duty to monitor, ascertain, or investigate as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, any Related Document or any notice, consent, certificate, instruction or waiver, report, statement, opinion, direction or other instrument or writing on the part of the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or the Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, perfection, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Collateral (or the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens on the

No Agent shall have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for the Borrower’s, the Servicer’s, any Lender’s, or any other Person’s, as the case may be, performance of, or failure to perform, any of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Facility Document.

(b) No Agent shall be liable for the actions or omissions of any other Agent (including concerning the application of funds), or under any duty to monitor or investigate compliance on the part of any other Agent with the terms or requirements of this Agreement, any Facility Document or any Related Document, or their duties hereunder or thereunder. Each Agent shall be entitled to assume the due authority of any signatory and genuineness of any signature appearing on any instrument or document it may receive (including each Notice of Borrowing received hereunder). No Agent shall be liable for any action taken in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action (including for refusing to exercise discretion or for withholding its consent in the absence of its receipt of, or resulting from a failure, delay or refusal on the part of the Required Lenders (or with respect to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent) to provide, written instruction to exercise such discretion or grant such consent from the Required Lenders (or with respect to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent), as applicable). No Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless it is proven by a non-appealable court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the relevant facts or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct. Nothing herein or in any Facility Document or Related Document shall obligate any Agent to advance, expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action which in its reasonable judgment may cause it to incur any expense or financial or other liability for which it is not adequately indemnified. No Agent shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action. No Agent shall be charged with knowledge or notice of any matter (including any Default,

---

Event of Default or Servicer Termination Event) unless actually known to a Responsible Officer of such Agent, or unless and to the extent written notice of such matter is received by such Agent at its address in accordance with Section 12.02. Any permissive grant of power to an Agent hereunder shall not be construed to be a duty to act. Neither Agent shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper, electronic communication or document. Neither Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except in the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.

(c) No Agent shall be responsible or liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control; provided that such Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts which are consistent with ‎accepted practices in the banking industry to maintain performance, and, if necessary, resume ‎performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances‎. Such acts shall include acts of God, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, ‎nuclear or natural catastrophes, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of ‎utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services, any provision of any ‎present or future law or regulation or act of any governmental authority, labor dispute, disease, ‎epidemic or pandemic, quarantine, national emergency, malware or ransomware attack, ‎communications system failure, unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex system ‎or other applicable wire or funds transfer system, or unavailability of any securities clearing ‎system.

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

(e) Each Lender acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Agent has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by either Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Secured Party as to any matter. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon such Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Servicer, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Facility Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the Facility Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations,

---

property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Servicer. Neither Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or Servicer which may come into the possession of such Agent.

Section 11.04 Indemnification

Each of the Lenders (on a pro rata basis based on its percentage of the Commitments) agrees to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent harmless (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to Section 12.04 or otherwise) from and against any and all Liabilities which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent for any portion of such Liabilities resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, further, that each Lender shall be fully liable to the Administrative Agent for gross negligence and willful misconduct. The rights of the Administrative Agent and obligations of the Lenders under or pursuant to this Section 11.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and the earlier removal or resignation of the Administrative Agent hereunder.

Section 11.05 Successor Agents

(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 11.05, each Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, resign as Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. If an Agent shall resign or be removed, then the Required ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall appoint a successor agent. If for any reason a successor agent is not so appointed and does not accept such appointment within thirty (30) days of notice of resignation or removal, such Agent may appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction at the Borrower’s expense to appoint, a successor agent; provided that no such successor agent may be a Defaulting Lender without the prior written consent of the Borrower.

(b) Any successor Administrative Agent and any successor Collateral Agent shall be a U.S. Person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America or an Affiliate of such bank and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1 (as in effect on the date hereof). The appointment of any successor Agent shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the consent of the Borrower to any such appointment shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing. Any resignation or removal of an Agent shall be effective upon the appointment of a successor agent pursuant to this Section 11.05. After the effectiveness of any retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents and the provisions of this Article XI shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents.

---

(c) Subject to the terms of this Section 11.05(c) the Administrative Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Servicer, the Equityholder, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, remove and discharge the Collateral Agent from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents without cause at any time. If the Collateral Agent shall be removed pursuant to this Section 11.05(c), then the Administrative Agent during such thirty (30) day period shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent. The appointment of any successor Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c) shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Required Lenders. If the Collateral Agent is removed pursuant to this Section 11.05(c), the Collateral Agent shall be removed in all other capacities in which it serves under this Agreement and under any of the other Facility Documents (including in its capacity as Custodian), but not in its capacities as Administrative Agent or Lender, if applicable. Any removal of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c) shall be effective upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c) and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor. After the effectiveness of any removal of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c), the Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents (but not in its capacities as Administrative Agent or Lender, if applicable) and the provisions of this Article XI and Section 11.05(c) shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents. In the event a successor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Agent shall not be appointed within such thirty (30) day period, the Collateral Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction at the Borrower’s expense for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.

Section 11.06 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Agents

Any organization or entity into which any Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any organization or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Agent shall be a party, or any organization or entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of such Agent, shall be the successor of such Agent hereunder and any other Facility Document to which it is a party, without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

Section 11.07 Erroneous Payments

(a) (i) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, Secured Party or other recipient that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such recipient (whether or not known to such recipient) (any such funds whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; a distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment” and any such recipient, an “Unintended Recipient”) and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Unintended Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such

---

Unintended Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(ii) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto and each Secured Party shall not assert any right or claim to the Payment, and hereby waives, 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 Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(iii) A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Unintended Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) If an Unintended Recipient receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates):

(i) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment or calculation statement sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”),

(ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or

(iii) that such Unintended Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or mistake (in whole or in part) or such Payment is otherwise inconsistent with such recipient’s or market expectations,

in each case, an error shall be presumed to have been made with respect to such Payment absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary. Upon demand from the Administrative Agent, such Unintended Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.01 No Waiver; Modifications in Writing

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

---

entitle the Borrower, the Servicer or the Equityholder to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) No amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Equityholder, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders; provided that:

(i) except for an amendment pursuant to clause (c) below, any Fundamental Amendment shall require the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; and

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

(c) Benchmark Replacement.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any then-current Benchmark, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has provided notice of such proposed amendment to the Servicer and each Lender so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 12.01(c)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii) Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of any Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with 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 Facility Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes. For the avoidance of doubt, any notice required to be delivered by the Administrative Agent as set forth in this Section 12.01(c) may be provided, at the option of the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion), in one or more notices and may be delivered together with, or as part of any amendment which implements any Benchmark Replacement or Conforming Changes. 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 12.01(c), 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, 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 hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 12.01(c).

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if a 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 consultation with the Borrower, in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, may modify the definition of “Interest Accrual Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned 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 or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, may modify the definition of “Interest Accrual Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to any then-current Benchmark, (A) the Borrower may, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, revoke any pending request for an Advance in the applicable currency during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and (B) all Advances in such currency shall bear interest at the Base Rate. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period for any then-current Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon such Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(vi) Disclaimer. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (A) the administration, submission or any other matter related to Term SOFR or other rates in the definition of “Applicable Reference Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation any Benchmark Replacement implemented hereunder), (B) the composition or characteristics of any such Benchmark Replacement, including whether it is similar to, or produces the same value or economic equivalence to Term SOFR or any other Benchmark or have the same volume or liquidity as did Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, (C) any actions or use of its discretion or other

The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of any interest rate under this Agreement, or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Disruption Event, Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Unavailability Period or a Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) to select, determine or designate any Base Rate, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, (iii) to select, determine or designate any adjustment or other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (iv) to determine whether or what conforming changes or amendments (including any Conforming Changes) are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in the Facility Documents as a result of the unavailability of any interest rate hereunder and absence of a designated Base Rate or Benchmark Replacement, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party, in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of the Facility Documents and reasonably required for the performance of such duties.

(b) Each of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian and the Collateral Administrator hereby agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement sent by unsecured e‑mail (or .pdf files of executed documents) or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided that any person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, an incumbency certificate listing such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If any party hereto elects to give any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable or e‑mail (or .pdf files of executed documents), the Collateral Agent’s, the Custodian’s or the Collateral Administrator’s understanding of such instructions actually received by any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, shall be deemed controlling in the event that such instructions are ambiguous; provided that prior to acting in response to any such instructions that it deems to be ambiguous, the Collateral Agent, Custodian or Collateral Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to contact the instructing party and obtain from such instructing party any necessary clarifications with respect to such instructions.

The other parties hereto shall be responsible for ensuring that only authorized officers transmit such instructions to the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator and that each such party is solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by it.

Each of the other parties hereto agrees (i) to assume all risks arising out of its respective use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, including without limitation the risk of any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties, (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting instructions to the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting instructions than the method(s) selected by it, (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances and (iv) to notify the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral

---

Administrator immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

(c) By executing this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree, and direct the Collateral Agent, the Custodian and the Collateral Administrator to acknowledge and agree and the Collateral Agent, the Custodian and the Collateral Administrator do hereby acknowledge and agree, that execution of this Agreement, any instruction, direction, notice, form or other document executed by any party to this Agreement or the Facility Documents in connection with this Agreement or such other Facility Documents, by electronic signatures (whether by ▇▇▇▇▇, Adobe Fill & Sign, Adobe Sign, DocuSign, or any other similar platform identified by such party and reasonably available at no undue burden or expense to the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator) shall be permitted hereunder notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and such electronic signatures shall be legally binding as if such electronic signatures were handwritten signatures. Any electronically signed document delivered via email from a person purporting to be a Responsible Officer shall be considered signed or executed by such Responsible Officer on such party’s behalf. To the extent received from a Responsible Officer, the parties hereto also hereby acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent, the Custodian and the Collateral Administrator shall have no duty to inquire into or investigate the authenticity or authorization of any such electronic signature and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such electronic signature without any liability with respect thereto.

Section 12.03 Taxes

(a) Any and all payments by, or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Facility Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, then the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is a Non‑Excluded Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Secured Party receives an amount (such amount, an “Additional Amount”) equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. In no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible for the calculation or withholding of any taxes.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to timely pay (or at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of) any present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording or filing Taxes or any other or similar Taxes that arise from any payment made hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Facility Document, or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes or under any other Facility Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (collectively, the “Other Taxes”).

---

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, each Secured Party for (i) the full amount of Non‑Excluded Taxes (including any Non‑Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 12.03) paid or payable by any Secured Party (or required to be withheld or deducted from payments to a Secured Party) and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Non‑Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability will be promptly 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 or other Secured Party and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes pursuant to this Section 12.03, the Borrower will furnish to each Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof (or other evidence of payment as may be reasonably satisfactory to such Agent).

(e) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund (for this purpose, including credits elected by such party in lieu of a refund) of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 12.03 (including by the payment of Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 12.03), 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 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 (e) (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 (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) 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.

(f) Each Secured Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement or any Facility Document shall deliver to the Borrower and each Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Secured Party, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or any Agent, shall deliver such other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent as will enable the Borrower or such Agent to determine whether or not such Secured Party is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the

---

completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 12.03(f)(i)(A), (B) and (D)) shall not be required if, in the Secured Party’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Secured Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Secured Party.

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) any Secured Party that is a United States Person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agents on or prior to the date on which such Secured Party becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agents), executed copies of IRS Form W‑9 certifying that such Secured Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Lender that is not a “United States person” under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non‑U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agents (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non‑U.S. Lender becomes a party to under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or an Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W‑8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(C)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower (or to the extent the Borrower is disregarded for U.S. federal tax purposes, its regarded owner) within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower (or to the extent the Borrower is disregarded for U.S. federal tax purposes, its regarded owner) as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax

---

Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Non‑U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agents (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non‑U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or Agents), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Agents to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Secured Party under any Facility Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Secured Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code as applicable), such Secured Party shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agents at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agents 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 Agents as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agents to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Secured Party has complied with such Secured Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Secured Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agents in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Nothing in this Section 12.03 shall be construed to require any Secured Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

---

(h) Each Lender shall severally indemnify each Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Non‑Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified such Agent for such Non‑Excluded Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.06(c) 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 such Agent in connection with any Facility Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the applicable Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes each Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Facility Document or otherwise payable by such Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to such Agent under this clause (h).

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 12.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of an 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 Facility Documents.

(j) For purposes of this Section, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

Section 12.04 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification

(a) The Borrower agrees to promptly pay on written demand all reasonable and documented out‑of‑pocket costs and expenses of the Agents, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator in connection with the preparation, review, negotiation, reproduction, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, including (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to) the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent plus, if necessary, one additional local counsel, one outside counsel for the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator (unless one counsel shall not be able to represent such parties due to an actual or perceived conflict of interest, in which case one additional counsel for each party affected by such conflict), costs and expenses of creating, perfecting, releasing or enforcing the Collateral Agent’s security interests in the Collateral, including filing and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, UCC filing fees, and the equivalent thereof in any foreign jurisdiction, and all other related fees and expenses in connection therewith, and in connection with the administration and any modification or amendment of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Facility Document and advising the Agents, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator as to their respective rights, remedies and responsibilities.

Without prejudice to its rights hereunder, the expenses and the compensation for the services of the Secured Parties are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable insolvency Law.

In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s equityholders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party hereto. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party (or, in the case of a threatened proceeding, could reasonably have been expected to be a party if such proceeding had been brought) and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (i) does not include a statement as to or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any such Indemnified Party or (ii) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of (but with notice to) the Borrower, sell participations to Participants (x) during an Event of Default or (y) at any time to any Person other than a Disqualified Institution (unless the Borrower has consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that such consent shall be deemed fifteen (15) Business Days following notice of such sale)) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Borrower, the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (D) each Participant shall have agreed to be bound by this Section 12.06(c), Section 12.06(e), Section 12.09 and Section 12.16. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09 and 12.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 12.03(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 12.03(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment under clause (a) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.20 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.09 or 12.03, 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 Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

---

(ii) In the event that any Lender sells participations in any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as non-fiduciary agent for the Borrower shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Advances held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Advance which is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). An Advance may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each Note, if any, shall expressly so provide). 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 rights and obligations hereunder) to any Person except to the extent necessary to establish that such rights and obligations are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1 and proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of and acting solely for this purpose as the non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address specified in Section 12.02 or such other address as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Lenders, a copy of this Agreement, each signature page hereto, each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names, addresses and wiring instructions of the Lenders and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances Outstanding maintained by each Lender under this Agreement (and any stated interest thereon). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Servicer, the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender and the owner of the amounts owing to it under the Facility Documents as reflected in the Register for all purposes of the Facility Documents. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. An Advance (and a Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each Note with respect to the Advances, if any, shall expressly so provide) and compliance with this Section 12.06.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Facility Document and each Lender hereunder, and each Participant, must at all times be an “accredited investor” as defined in paragraphs (1), (2), (3), and (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”) and a “qualified purchaser” as defined in the Investment Company Act (a “Qualified Purchaser”). Each Lender severally represents to the Borrower, (i) on the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (whether by being a signatory hereto or by entering into an Assignment and Acceptance) and (ii) on each date on which it makes an Advance hereunder, that it is an Accredited Investor and a Qualified Purchaser.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.06, (i) any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including

---

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

(g) Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or delay (x) a Conduit ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s ability to assign its interests hereunder to its Liquidity Bank or an Affiliate or to any other Conduit Lender in its Lender Group or to grant a security interest in its interests hereunder to a Conduit Trustee or (y) any Lender in a Lender Group from assigning its Advances to another Lender in such Lender Group.

(h) Each Lender, without the consent of the Borrower, may assign to any Eligible Assignee all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance (provided that in the event that the assignment is between Conduit Lenders or a Conduit Lender and the Committed Purchaser or the Committed Purchaser and one of its Affiliates (including a Conduit Lender), the assigning entity will be permitted to use its internal form of assignment instead of the Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto and each such assignment shall be recorded on the books and records of the relevant Lenders, without the need to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, and for all purposes of this Agreement and all related documents, the relevant Lenders shall be deemed to have the benefit of an executed, delivered, accepted and recorded Assignment and Acceptance relating to such assignment.

---

The Servicer may, in its sole discretion, elect to defer or waive payment of any or all of any Servicing Fee otherwise due on any Payment Date by notice to the Borrower, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Agent no later than the Determination Date immediately prior to such Payment Date.

If and to the extent that there are insufficient funds to pay any Servicing Fee in full on any Payment Date or if any Servicing Fee has accrued but is not yet due and payable, the amount due or accrued and unpaid will be deferred and will be payable on such later Payment Date on which funds are available in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(a) The Servicer shall be responsible for its expenses incurred by it in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by the Borrower.

(b) The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Liabilities that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with any acts or omissions of the Servicer in connection with (a) any breach by the Servicer of any Facility Document (including a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Servicer under any Facility Document) or (b) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Servicer; in each case, except to the extent any such Liability (x) is found in a final, non‑appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, any of its Affiliates or the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, managers of, and any Person controlling any of, the foregoing or (y) constitutes credit recourse for the performance of the Collateral Loans. In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Servicer, any of the Servicer’s equityholders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party hereto. The Servicer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party (or, in the case of a threatened proceeding, could reasonably have been expected to be a party if such proceeding had been brought) and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (i) does not include a statement as to or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any such Indemnified Party, and (ii) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

The Administrative Agent with notice to the Borrower, the Equityholder, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, may appoint a successor Servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), which, for the avoidance of doubt may be the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. Until a Successor Servicer is appointed as set forth above, the Servicer shall (i) unless otherwise notified by the Administrative Agent, continue to act in such capacity in accordance with Section 14.02 and (ii) as requested by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (A) terminate some or all of its activities as Servicer hereunder by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as necessary or desirable, (B) provide such information as may be requested by the Administrative Agent to facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the Administrative Agent or any agent thereof and (C) take all other actions requested by the Administrative Agent, in each case to facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the Administrative Agent or any agent thereof.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Administrator shall perform the following functions:

(i) create a collateral database of certain characteristics (to the extent required for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and otherwise as reasonably agreed to between the Collateral Administrator and the Servicer) of the Collateral Loans and Eligible Investments credited from time to time to the Covered Accounts (the “Collateral Database”);

(ii) permit access to the information in the Collateral database by the Servicer and the Borrower;

(iii) update the Collateral Database promptly for ratings changes and for Collateral Loans, Equity Securities and Eligible Investments acquired or sold or otherwise disposed of and for any amendments or changes to Collateral Loan amounts or interest rates and, if direct online viewing access to the foregoing is unavailable, report any updates as of the close of business on the preceding Business Day to the Collateral database to the Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. on each Business Day, in each case based upon, and to the extent of, information furnished to the Collateral Administrator by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Servicer as may be reasonably required by the Collateral Administrator, or by the agents for the obligors from time to time;

(v) deliver the Administrative Agent, on each Business Day, a trade blotter, cash flow and position report with respect to the Collateral;

(vi) draft and make available to the parties required under this Agreement each of the Monthly Reports and Payment Date Reports which are required to be provided pursuant to Section 8.08(a) of this Agreement by the time specified in this Agreement and on the basis of the information contained in the Collateral Database or as provided to the Collateral Administrator by the Borrower, Servicer or Administrative Agent; and

---

(vii) provide the Servicer with such other information as may be reasonably requested in writing by the Servicer and as is within the possession of the Collateral Administrator.

(b) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Collateral Administrator from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct or fraud, except that:

(i) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section 15.02;

(ii) the Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Administrator, unless it shall be proven that the Collateral Administrator was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct;

(iii) no provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial or other liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it unless such risk or liability relates to the performance of its ordinary services under this Agreement; and

(iv) in no event shall the Collateral Administrator be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) even if the Collateral Administrator has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of such action.

(c) Upon request of the Collateral Administrator, the Borrower and the Servicer shall cooperate with the Collateral Administrator in connection with the matters described herein, including calculations and information relating to the Monthly Reports and the Payment Date Reports or as otherwise reasonably requested hereunder. Nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Administrator to determine independently the correct characterization or categorization of any item of Collateral under this Agreement (it being understood that any such characterization or categorization shall be based exclusively upon the determination and notification received by the Collateral Administrator from the Servicer). The Servicer shall review and verify the contents of the contents of the Monthly Reports and the Payment Date Reports. To the extent the Servicer becomes actually aware that the information with respect to any Collateral Loan in any report, instruction or certificate required to be delivered by the Collateral Administrator conflicts with information, data or calculations in the records of the Servicer, the Servicer shall notify the Collateral Administrator of such discrepancy and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Collateral Administrator in reconciling such discrepancy. The Collateral Administrator shall cooperate with the Servicer in connection with the Servicer’s review of the contents of the aforesaid reports, instruction and certificates and will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such items to the Servicer within a reasonably sufficient time (as agreed between the Servicer and the Collateral Administrator) prior to any applicable due date to enable such review.

---

The Servicer further agrees to send such reports, instructions, statements and certificates to the Borrower for execution.

(d) The Collateral Administrator shall have no obligation to determine the Asset Value or the price of any Collateral in connection with any actions or duties under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall prevent the Collateral Administrator or any of its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or from rendering services of any kind to any Person.

(e) The Collateral Administrator shall in no event have any liability for the actions or omissions of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Custodian (but only if not the same Person as the Collateral Administrator) or any other Person, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in any duty performed by it that results from or is caused by inaccurate, untimely or incomplete information or data received by it from the Borrower, the Servicer, the Custodian (but only if not the same Person as the Collateral Administrator) or another Person except to the extent that such inaccuracies or errors are caused by the Collateral Administrator’s own bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud. The Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for failing to perform or any delay in performing its specified duties hereunder which results from or is caused by a failure or delay on the part of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Custodian (but only if not the same Person as the Collateral Administrator) or any other Person in furnishing necessary, timely and accurate information to the Collateral Administrator.

(f) It is expressly acknowledged by the Borrower and the Servicer that application and performance by the Collateral Administrator of its various duties hereunder (including recalculations to be performed in respect of the matters contemplated hereby) shall be based upon, and in reliance upon, data and information provided to it by the Servicer (and/or the Borrower) with respect to the Collateral, and the Collateral Administrator shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of any such information or data provided to it by such Persons. Nothing herein shall impose or imply any duty or obligation on the part of the Collateral Administrator to verify, investigate or audit any such information or data, or to determine or monitor on an independent basis whether any obligor under the Collateral is in default or in compliance with the underlying documents governing or securing such securities, from time to time, the role of the Collateral Administrator hereunder being solely to perform certain mathematical computations and data comparisons and to provide certain reports and other deliveries, as provided herein. For purposes of monitoring changes in ratings, the Collateral Administrator shall be entitled to use and rely (in good faith) exclusively upon one or more reputable electronic financial information reporting services, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracies in the information reported by, or other errors or omissions of, any such services.

---

in its capacity as) the Collateral Agent (based upon notices received by the Collateral Agent from the obligor, trustee or agent bank under an underlying governing document, or similar source) and nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Administrator to review or examine any underlying instrument or contract evidencing, governing or guaranteeing or securing any Collateral Loan in order to verify, confirm, audit or otherwise determine any characteristic thereof. In addition, the Servicer shall notify the Collateral Administrator of any amendment or modification of a Collateral Loan to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Servicer has actual knowledge of such amendment or modification.
