CONVEYANCES OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS

SECTION 2.1 Conveyances.

(a) [Reserved].

-3-

(b) In the event the Purchaser agrees, from time to time on or after the Closing Date to purchase, acquire, accept or receive as a contribution, as applicable, one or more Collateral Loans (including Related Security) from the Seller, the Seller shall deliver written notice thereof to the Purchaser (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Purchase Notice”), designating the date of the proposed Conveyance (the date of the first such Conveyance hereunder, the “Initial Conveyance Date”; and the date of each Conveyance occurring after the Initial Conveyance Date, each a “Subsequent Conveyance Date”) and attaching a schedule identifying the Collateral Loans or Participated Loans and Related Security proposed to be Conveyed on such Conveyance Date (as such schedules may be amended, supplemented, updated or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively, the “Schedule of Collateral Loans”). On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the Seller shall (i) Convey to the Purchaser without recourse (except to the extent specifically provided herein), and the Purchaser shall purchase, acquire, accept or receive as a contribution, as applicable, on the applicable Conveyance Date (each such purchase and sale being herein called a “Conveyance”), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to each Collateral Loan then reported by the Seller on the Schedule of Collateral Loans attached to the related Purchase Notice, together with all other Related Security and all proceeds of the foregoing and (ii) transfer, or cause the deposit into, the Collection Account of all Collections received by the Seller on account of any Transferred Assets hereunder on and after the Purchase Date with respect to such Transferred Assets within two Business Days of the receipt by the Seller thereof. The Seller hereby acknowledges that, except as expressly provided herein, each Conveyance to the Purchaser hereunder is absolute and irrevocable, without reservation or retention of any interest whatsoever by the Seller.

(c) On and after each Purchase Date hereunder (or Elevation Date with respect to the Participated Loans), the Purchaser shall own the Transferred Assets Conveyed by the Seller to the Purchaser on such Purchase Date free and clear of any Lien in favor of any Person, other than Permitted Liens, and the Seller shall not claim any ownership interest in such Transferred Assets.

(d) It is the express intent of the Seller and the Purchaser that each Conveyance of Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement be construed as an absolute sale and/or contribution of such Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser providing the Purchaser with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the Transferred Assets. Further, it is not the intention of the Seller and the Purchaser that any Conveyance be deemed a grant of a security interest in the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Conveyances hereunder shall be characterized as loans and not as sales and/or contributions, then (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC and other Applicable Law, (ii) the Conveyances by the Seller provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be, and the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a security interest (and such security interest is hereby assigned by the Purchaser to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in, to and under all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, such Transferred Assets and all proceeds of the foregoing, (iii) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian on behalf of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the

-4-

Secured Parties) of such Transferred Assets and such other items of property constituting instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be, subject to clause (iv), for purposes of perfecting such security interest pursuant to the UCC and (iv) acknowledgements from Persons holding such property shall be deemed acknowledgements from custodians, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under Applicable Law. The Purchaser and its assignees shall have, with respect to such Transferred Assets and other related rights, in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Purchaser and its assignees and under the other Facility Documents, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.

(e) The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Transferred Assets to secure a debt or other obligation, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest in favor of the Purchaser under Applicable Law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Seller represents and warrants that the Transferred Assets are being transferred with the intention of removing them from the Seller’s estate pursuant to Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided that with respect to any Participated Loans, the Purchaser shall not be the record owner of legal title of the Collateral Loan until the Elevation Date of such Participated Loan, and each Conveyance of a Participation Interest as contemplated by this Agreement constitutes a conveyance, transfer and assignment of such Participation Interest, including all beneficial and economic interests in the underlying loan from the Seller to the Purchaser, leaving the Seller with only “bare legal title” to such underlying loan and the proceeds and any related collateral, such that the Participated Loan (including such beneficial interest in the underlying loan and the proceeds and any related collateral) shall not be part of the Seller’s estate, as determined pursuant to Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code, in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy Law.

(f) Neither the Purchaser nor any assignee of the Purchaser (including the Secured Parties) shall have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or client of the Seller (including any obligation to perform any obligation of the Seller, including with respect to any other related agreements) in respect of the Transferred Assets (other than with respect to funding obligations to Obligors pursuant to the terms of the applicable Underlying Loan Agreement for Revolving Collateral Loans and Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans, as applicable). No such obligation or liability is intended to be assumed by the Purchaser or any assignee of the Purchaser (including the Secured Party) and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Conveyance of the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or assumption by the Purchaser or any assignee of the Purchaser (including the Secured Parties), of any obligation of the Seller, as lead agent, collateral agent or paying agent under any Collateral Loan which is agented by a Person as part of a syndicated loan transaction.

(g) Actions of the Seller in connection with each Conveyance.

-5-

(i) In connection with each Conveyance of a Transferred Asset hereunder, the Seller (on behalf of the Purchaser) shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Required Loan Documents and any other required documents in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

(ii) The Seller shall provide all information, and any other reasonable assistance, to Custodian and the Collateral Agent necessary for the Custodian and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to conduct the management, administration and collection of each Transferred Asset Conveyed hereunder in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

(iii) In connection with the purchase, acquisition, acceptance or contribution, as applicable, by the Purchaser of each Transferred Asset as contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller further agrees that it shall, at its own expense, indicate clearly and unambiguously in its computer files on or prior to each Purchase Date, and its financial statements, that such Transferred Asset has been acquired by the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement.

SECTION 2.2 Actions Pending Completion of Assignments of Collateral Loans.

(a) In connection with the Conveyance of any Transferred Assets, to the extent that all conditions specified in the related credit agreement, loan agreement or similar governing document to the transfer of record ownership of a Collateral Loan to the Purchaser have not been satisfied on or prior to the Purchase Date, the related Conveyance will take the form of the grant of an undivided 100% participation interest in such Collateral Loan on the Purchase Date (each such Collateral Loan, a “Participated Loan”). With respect to any Participated Loan, the Seller and Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the relevant participation to be elevated to an assignment as soon as reasonably practicable, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(c), after the Purchase Date. Such elevation is referred to herein as the “Elevation” with respect to any Participated Loan, and the date of any Elevation of such Participated Loan is referred to herein as the related “Elevation Date”. With respect to each Participated Loan, on each Purchase Date, the Seller hereby sells, transfers and grants to the Purchaser, without recourse (except to the extent specifically provided herein) and the Purchaser hereby acquires from the Seller, a 100% undivided participation interest in such Collateral Loan, which interest shall include, to the extent permitted to be transferred under the terms governing such Collateral Loan and under Applicable Law, all claims, causes of action and any other right of the Seller (in its capacity as a lender under any credit documentation executed and delivered in connection with a Collateral Loan), whether known or unknown, against any obligor or any of its affiliates, agents, representatives, contractors, advisors or other Person arising under or in connection with such documentation or that is in any way based on or related to any of the foregoing or the loan transactions governed thereby, including contract claims, tort claims, malpractice claims, statutory claims and all other claims at Law or in equity related to the rights and obligations sold and purchased pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Participation Interest” and collectively, the “Participation Interests”), in each case, for settlement of Conveyance on the Purchase Date upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller and the Purchaser agree that the tenor, interest rate and other terms of a Participated Loan shall be coextensive with those of the underlying Collateral Loan. Until Elevation occurs for each Participated Loan, the Seller shall hold title to each of the Participated Loans for the benefit of the Purchaser to the extent of the Participation Interests.

-6-

(b) The Seller will not be held to the standard of care of a fiduciary but agrees that, until the Elevation of each Participated Loan has been completed, it shall exercise the same duty of care in the administration and enforcement of the Participated Loan that it would exercise if it held the Participated Loans solely for its own account, but in any event, no less than a commercially reasonable standard of care.

(c) Subject to the terms and provisions of the applicable Participated Loans, the Seller and the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect an Elevation, as soon as reasonably practicable and in all events within ninety (90) days of the Purchase Date, with respect to each such Participated Loan and take such action (including the execution and delivery of an assignment agreement) as shall be mutually agreeable in connection therewith and in accordance with the terms and conditions of each such Participated Loan and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Seller shall pay any elevation fees, transfer fees and other expenses payable in connection with an Elevation and any expenses of administering each Participated Loan prior to its Elevation.

(d) Until an Elevation has been effected with respect to each Participated Loan, the Seller shall maintain its existence as a statutory trust under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation.

(e) If the Seller is dissolved, notwithstanding the foregoing, each party agrees (so far as the same is within its power and control) that the Participation Interests in each of the Participated Loans shall elevate automatically and immediately to an assignment and all of the Seller’s rights, title, interests and ownership of such Participated Loans shall vest in the Purchaser. The Seller shall be deemed to have consented and agreed to Elevation for each of the Participated Loans upon the execution of this Agreement. The Seller agrees that, following the Seller’s dissolution, the Purchaser shall be permitted to take any and all action necessary to effectuate an Elevation and/or finalize an assignment of any of the Participated Loans, and in furtherance of the foregoing, effective immediately upon a dissolution of the Seller, the Seller hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Purchaser, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in its name, place and stead, to sign, execute, certify, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file, receive and record any and all documents that the Purchaser reasonably deems appropriate or necessary in connection with any Elevation or finalization of an assignment of any of the Participated Loans. The foregoing power of attorney is (x) hereby declared to be irrevocable and a power coupled with an interest, and it shall survive and not be affected by the bankruptcy or insolvency or dissolution of the Seller and (y) expressly limited to the foregoing actions taken with respect to Participated Loans.

(f) The Seller shall direct the underlying administrative agent for each Collateral Loan to send all Collections in respect of each Participated Loan to the Collection Account.

SECTION 2.3 Indemnification.

-7-

(a) Without limiting any other rights which any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and its successors, transferees, and assigns (including each Secured Party) and all officers, directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called an “Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all Liabilities awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or in connection with any (i) acts or omissions of the Seller constituting bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Seller in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (and regardless of whether or not any such transactions are consummated), (ii) breach of any representation or warranty under this Agreement by the Seller or (iii) failure by the Seller to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement; except to the extent (a) any such Liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely 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, (b) Liabilities in respect of any Transferred Asset due to creditworthiness of the related Obligor or resulting from the performance of the Transferred Assets (including without limitation any change in the market value of such Transferred Assets), (c) non-payment by any Obligor of an amount due and payable with respect to a Transferred Asset and (d) Excluded Taxes and Taxes indemnifiable pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

(b) The obligations of the Seller under this Section 2.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(c) The Seller acknowledges that, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Purchaser shall collaterally assign its rights of indemnity hereunder to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties. Upon such collateral assignment, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have all rights of the Purchaser hereunder and may in turn assign such rights, and (b) the obligations of the Seller under this Section 2.3(c) shall inure to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties. The Seller agrees that, upon such collateral assignment, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may enforce directly, without joinder of the Purchaser, the indemnities set forth in this Section 2.3.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the Seller be liable to an Indemnified Party for any special, indirect, consequential, remote, speculative or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) damages, even if the Seller has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action, and each Indemnified Party hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to ▇▇▇ upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected.

(e) If (x) the Seller has made any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 2.3, (y) the recipient thereafter collects any payments from others in respect of such Liabilities and (z) payments collected by the recipient from the Seller and others in respect of such Liabilities exceed the amount necessary to fully indemnify the recipient, then the recipient shall repay to the Seller an amount equal to the excess of the amount it has collected in respect of such Liabilities over the amount necessary to fully indemnify the recipient in respect of such Liabilities.

-8-

SECTION 2.4 Administrative Convenience. The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, solely for administrative convenience, the Seller may direct that a Collateral Loan be titled directly into the name of the Purchaser, and/or that any document or assignment agreement (or, in the case of any original promissory note, any chain of indorsement) required to be executed and delivered in connection with (a) the acquisition of a Collateral Loan as a lender at the closing thereof may be executed and delivered directly by the Purchaser at the direction of the Seller or (b) the transfer of a Collateral Loan in accordance with the terms of the Related Documents may reflect that the Seller (or any affiliate thereof or any third party from whom the Seller may acquire a Collateral Loan) is assigning such Collateral Loan directly to the Purchaser. Nothing in any such document or assignment agreement (or, in the case of any original promissory note, nothing in such chain of indorsement) shall be deemed to impair the transfers of the related Collateral Loan by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, solely for administrative convenience, any transfer document required to be executed and delivered in connection with the transfer of a Transferred Asset in accordance with the terms of the Related Documents may reflect that (i) the Seller (or any Affiliate or third party from whom the Seller or the applicable Affiliate may purchase such Transferred Asset) is assigning such Transferred Asset directly to the Purchaser or (ii) the Purchaser is acquiring such Transferred Asset at the closing of such Transferred Asset.
