ARTICLE III

ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE ADVANCES

SECTION 3.01. The Advances.

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

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

(b) Interest on the Advances. Subject to Section 3.01(h), all outstanding Advances shall bear interest (from and including the date on which such Advance is made) at a per annum rate equal to the LIBO Rate for each Calculation Period in effect plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule; provided that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all outstanding Advances and any unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest (from and including the date of such Event of Default) at a per annum rate equal to the LIBO Rate for each

- 36 -

Calculation Period in effect plus the Adjusted Applicable Margin; provided further that, solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(b), if the aggregate amount of outstanding Advances at any time is less than the Minimum Funding Amount, the amount of outstanding Advances at such time shall be deemed to equal the Minimum Funding Amount and the interest rate in respect of the positive difference between the Minimum Funding Amount and the aggregate outstanding amount of the Advances shall be deemed to be the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule (plus, if applicable pursuant to the first proviso above, the Adjusted Applicable Margin).

(c) Evidence of the Advances. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Company to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a register (the “Register”) in which it shall record (1) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, (2) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Lender hereunder and (3) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. The entries made in the Register maintained pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such Register or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Any Lender may request that Advances made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if a registered note is requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(d) Pro Rata Treatment. Except as otherwise provided herein, all borrowings of, and payments in respect of, the Advances shall be made on a pro rata basis by or to the Lenders in accordance with their respective portions of the Financing Commitments in respect of Advances held by them.

(e) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company that the adoption of any law, rule or regulation, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for a Lender or the Administrative Agent to perform its obligations hereunder to fund or maintain Advances hereunder, then (1) the obligation of such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall immediately be suspended until such time as such Lender or the Administrative Agent determines (in its sole discretion) that such performance is again lawful, (2) at the request of the Company, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall, until such time as the Advances are required to be prepaid as required under clause (3) below, take an action specified in Section 3.01(f)(vi) below, and (3) if such Lender or the Administrative Agent is unable to effect a designation or assignment under Section 3.01(f)(vi), then any outstanding Advances of such Lender shall be promptly paid in full by the Company (together with all accrued interest and other amounts owing hereunder) but not later than the earlier of (x) if the Company requests such Lender or the Administrative Agent to take the actions set forth in clause (2) above, 20 calendar days after the date on which such Lender or the Administrative Agent notifies the Company in writing that it is unable make a designation or assignment as set forth in Section 3.01(f)(vi) and (y) such date as shall be mandated by law; provided

- 37 -

that, to the extent that any such adoption or change makes it unlawful for the Advances to bear interest by reference to the LIBO Rate, then the foregoing clauses (1) through (3) shall not apply and the Advances shall bear interest (from and after the last day of the Calculation Period ending immediately after such adoption or change) at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule.

(f) Increased Costs.

(i) If any Change in Law shall:

(A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;

(B) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender; or

(C) subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (z) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Advance or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, upon written request by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Company will pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(ii) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Advances made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(iii) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate, and the basis for such compensation of, such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

- 38 -

(iv) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Administrative Agent notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’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 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(v) Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agrees that it will take such commercially reasonable actions as the Company may reasonably request that will avoid the need to pay, or reduce the amount of, any increased amounts referred to in this Section 3.01(f) (including, without limitation, the transfer all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if such transfer would so avoid the need to pay, or reduce the amount of, such increased amounts); provided that no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to take any actions that would, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, be disadvantageous to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, due to a loss of money). In no event will the Company be responsible for increased amounts referred to in this Section 3.01(f) which relates to any other entities to which any Lender provides financing.

(vi) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.01(e) above or this Section 3.01(f), or if the Company is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.03, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Company) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01(e) above or this Section 3.01(f) or Section 3.03, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

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

- 39 -

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

(h) Alternate Rate of Interest. (i) If prior to the commencement of any Calculation Period: (x) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate (including, without limitation, because the LIBO Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for U.S. dollar deposits and such Calculation Period; or (y) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Calculation Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Advances (or its Advance) included in such Advance for such Calculation Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, if any Advance is requested, such Advance shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule.

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

SECTION 3.02. [Reserved].

- 40 -

SECTION 3.03. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. All payments to be made hereunder by the Company in respect of the Advances shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law (including FATCA). If any Applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Company, then the Company shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Company 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 Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Company. The Company shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of 10.06 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Company to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Status of Secured Parties. (i) Any Secured Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without

- 41 -

withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.03(f) (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), an executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an executed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E or any applicable successor form establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii) an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company or the Parent within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, and is not a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) an executed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form; or

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;

- 42 -

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals 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 Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’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 Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(E) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Company an electronic copy of an IRS Form W-9 upon becoming a party under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent represents to the Company that it is a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1 and a “U.S. financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1471-3T and that it will comply with its obligations to withhold under Section 1441 and FATCA.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.03), 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 (g) (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 (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) 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 indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund 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.

- 43 -

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Financing Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(ii) While no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no Market Value Event has occurred and subject to satisfaction of the Borrowing Base Test (after giving effect to such release), the Portfolio Manager may direct, by means of an instruction in writing to the Securities Intermediary (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator), the release of funds on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account (i) for the purpose of funding the Company’s unfunded commitments with respect to Delayed Funding Term Loans, for deposit into the Collection Account and (ii) so long as no Unfunded Exposure Shortfall exists or would exist after giving effect to the withdrawal. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or following the occurrence of a Market Value Event, at the written direction of the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator), the Securities Intermediary shall transfer all amounts in the Unfunded Exposure Account to the Collection Account to be applied pursuant to Section 4.05. Upon the direction of the Company by means of an instruction in writing to the Securities Intermediary (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent), any amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account in excess of outstanding funding obligations of the Company shall be released to the Collection Account to prepay the outstanding Advances; provided that any such prepayment does not cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances to be less than the Minimum Funding Amount.

SECTION 8.02. Collateral Security; Pledge; Delivery.

(a) Grant of Security Interest. As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all the Company’s obligations to the Agents, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator and the Lenders (collectively, the “Secured Parties”) under this Agreement (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”), the Company hereby pledges to the Collateral Agent and grants a continuing security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in, to and under (in each case, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising) all accounts, payment intangibles, general intangibles, chattel paper, electronic chattel paper, instruments, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, investment property, and any and all other property of any type or nature owned by it (all of the property described in this clause (a) being collectively referred to herein as “Collateral”), including, without limitation: (1) each Portfolio Investment, (2) all of the Company’s interests in the Collateral Accounts and all investments, obligations and other property from time to time credited thereto, (3) each Sale Agreement, any other Loan Document and all rights related to each such agreement (4) all other property of the Company and (5) all proceeds thereof, all accessions to and substitutions and replacements for, any of the foregoing, and all rents, profits and products of any thereof.

(b) Delivery and Other Perfection. In furtherance of the collateral arrangements contemplated herein, the Company shall (1) Deliver to the Collateral Agent the Collateral hereunder as and when acquired by the Company; and (2) if any of the securities, monies or other property pledged by the Company hereunder are received by the Company, forthwith take such action as is necessary to ensure the Collateral Agent’s continuing perfected security interest in such Collateral (including Delivering such securities, monies or other property to the Collateral Agent).

- 64 -

(c) Remedies, Etc. During the period in which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall (but only if and to the extent directed in writing by the Required Lenders) do any of the following:

(i) Exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s or its designee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent or a designee of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may deem commercially reasonable. The Company agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) calendar days’ prior notice to the Company of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent or its designee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned;

(ii) Transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Collateral Agent or a nominee thereof;

(iii) Enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with respect thereto;

(iv) Endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in the Company’s name to allow collection of the Collateral;

(v) Take control of any proceeds of the Collateral;

(vi) Execute (in the name, place and stead of any of the Company) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral; and/or

(vii) Perform such other acts as may be reasonably required to do to protect the Collateral Agent’s rights and interest hereunder.

(d) Compliance with Restrictions. The Company and the Portfolio Manager agree that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent or its designee are hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel in writing is necessary in order to avoid any violation of Applicable Law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental regulatory authority or official, and the Company and the Portfolio Manager further agree that such compliance shall not, in and of itself, result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Collateral Agent be liable or accountable to the Company or the Portfolio Manager for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in good faith compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

- 65 -

(e) Private Sale. The Collateral Agent shall incur no liability as a result of a sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to clause (c) above conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. The Company and the Portfolio Manager hereby waive any claims against each Agent and Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale.

(f) Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Company hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as the Company’s attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of the Company by this appointment), with full authority in the place and stead of the Company and in the name of the Company, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion (exercised at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be), after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. The Company hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant to this clause is irrevocable during the term of this Agreement and is coupled with an interest.

(g) Further Assurances. The Company covenants and agrees that, from time to time upon the request of the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent), the Company will execute and deliver such further documents, and do such other acts and things as the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent) may reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement and to protect and preserve the priority and validity of the security interest granted hereunder or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral; provided that no such document may alter the rights and protections afforded to the Company or the Portfolio Manager herein.

(h) Termination. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than any unmatured contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations) and termination of the Financing Commitments, the security interest granted herein shall automatically (and without further action by any party) terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Company. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent will, at the Company’s sole expense, deliver to the Company, or cause the Securities Intermediary to deliver, without any representations, warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing all of the Collateral held by the Securities Intermediary hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Company or its nominee such documents as the Company shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(i) Release of Security Interest upon Disposition of Collateral. Upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral (or portion thereof) that is permitted hereunder, the security interest granted hereunder in such Loan or other Collateral (or the portion thereof which has been sold or otherwise disposed of) shall, immediately upon the sale or other disposition of such Loan or other Collateral (or such portion) and without any further action on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, be released. Upon any such release, the Collateral Agent will, at the Company’s sole expense, deliver to the Company, or cause the Securities Intermediary to deliver, without any representations, warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing all of the Collateral held by the Securities Intermediary hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Company or its nominee such documents as the Company shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

ARTICLE IX

THE AGENTS

SECTION 9.01. Appointment of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (each, an “Agent” and collectively, the “Agents”) as its agent and authorizes such Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Agent and each Lender hereby agree that no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Collateral shall be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable.

Each financial institution serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender (if applicable) as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such financial institution and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

None of the Agents, the Securities Intermediary nor the Collateral Administrator shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) none of the Agents, the Securities Intermediary nor the Collateral Administrator shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) none of the Agents, the Securities Intermediary nor the Collateral Administrator shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except that the foregoing shall not limit any duty expressly set forth in this Agreement to include such rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by (i) in the case of the Collateral Agent (A) in respect of the exercise of remedies under Section 8.02(c), the Required Lenders, or (B) in all other cases, the Administrative Agent or (ii) in the case of any Agent, the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided herein), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, none of the Agents, the Securities Intermediary nor the Collateral Administrator shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company that is communicated to or obtained by the financial institution serving in the capacity of such Agent (except insofar as provided to it as Agent hereunder) or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. None of the Agents, the Securities Intermediary nor the Collateral Administrator shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or with the consent or at the request or direction of the Administrative Agent (in the case of the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Agent only) or the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders that shall be permitted herein to direct such action or forbearance). None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default, Event of Default, Market Value Event or failure of the Borrowing Base Test unless and until a Responsible Officer has received written notice thereof from the Company, a Lender or the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specifically reference this Agreement and state that it is a notice of such circumstance or event and specify the nature of such event. None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of

- 67 -

any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, value or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other agreement, instrument or document or the Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. Knowledge of notices or other documents delivered to any Agent in any capacity shall not constitute knowledge of or delivery to (1) such Agent in any other capacity under the Agreement or to any Affiliate or other division of such Agent or (2) any other Agent. None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent shall be required to risk or expend its own funds in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder if it reasonably believes it will not receive reimbursement therefor hereunder.

Each Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, direction, opinion, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Securities Intermediary also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Securities Intermediary may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

In the event the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator shall receive conflicting instruction from the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, the instruction of the Required Lenders shall govern. In the event the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator shall receive conflicting instruction from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, on the one hand, and the Company or the Portfolio Manager, on the other hand, the instruction of the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall govern. None of the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations under or in respect of any other agreement (including any agreement that may be referenced herein) to which it is not a party. The grant of any permissive right or power to the Collateral Agent hereunder shall not be construed to impose a duty to act.

It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that none of the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for, and shall not be under any duty to monitor or determine, compliance with the Eligibility Criteria or the Concentration Limitations in any instance, to determine if the conditions of “Deliver” have been satisfied or otherwise to monitor or determine compliance by any other Person with the requirements of this Agreement.

Each of the Agents, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. None of the Agents, the Securities Intermediary nor the Collateral Administrator shall be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any sub-agent or attorney appointed by such Person with due care. Each of the Agents, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of such Person and its Affiliates (the “Related Parties”) for such Agent. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent (or such other Person) and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (or such other Person), as the case may be.

- 68 -

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor as provided in this paragraph, each of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon thirty (30) days’ notice to each other agent, the Lenders, the Portfolio Manager and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Collateral Administrator, Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary or Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice of its resignation, then the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Administrative Agent and shall have accepted such appointment within sixty (60) days after the retiring Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary, as applicable, gives notice of its resignation, such Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary, as applicable, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder (and, if applicable, under the Account Control Agreement) by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary, as applicable, hereunder and under the Account Control Agreement, and the retiring Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Account Control Agreement. After the retiring Agent’s, Collateral Administrator’s or Securities Intermediary’s, as applicable, resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Sections 5.03 and 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary, as applicable, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor as provided in this paragraph, each of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary may be removed at any time with 30 days’ notice by the Company (with the written consent of the Administrative Agent), with notice to the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Lenders and the Portfolio Manager (which removal of the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary will also be effective as removal under the Account Control Agreement). Upon any such removal, the Company shall have the right (with the written consent of the Administrative Agent) to appoint a successor to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and/or the Securities Intermediary, as applicable. If no successor to any such Person shall have been so appointed by the Company and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after such notice of removal, then the Administrative Agent may appoint a successor which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution. If no successor shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within sixty (60) days after the retiring Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary gives notice of its resignation, such Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the removed Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary hereunder and under the Account Control Agreement, and the removed Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (and, if applicable, under the

- 69 -

Account Control Agreement). After the removed Collateral Agent’s, Collateral Administrator’s or Securities Intermediary’s removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Sections 5.03 and 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such removed Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

Upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent or the successor collateral agent, collateral administrator or securities intermediary, such retiring or removed Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor agent all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary, as applicable, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor agent all property and money held by such retiring or removed Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary hereunder (and under the Account Control Agreement, if applicable). Upon request of any such successor agent, the Company and the Administrative Agent shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor collateral agent, collateral administrator or securities intermediary all such rights, powers and trusts.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any corporation into which the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator shall be the successor of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator hereunder (and, if applicable, under the Account Control Agreement) without the execution or filing of any paper with any Person or any further act on the part of any Person.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Anything in this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event shall any Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if such Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, has been advised of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Each Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer or officers of such Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

- 70 -

Each Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any certificate, statement, direction or opinion furnished to it in connection with this Agreement.

Each Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, consent, order, approval, bond or other document or have any 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 to it hereunder.

In the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part, each Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Securities Intermediary may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any request, instruction, certificate, opinion or other document furnished to it, reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement but, in the case of a request, instruction, document or certificate which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be furnished to it, such Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary, as applicable, shall be under a duty to examine the same in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement to determine that it conforms to the form required by such provision.

None of the Agents, the Collateral Administrator nor the Securities Intermediary shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts include but are not limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots and acts of war. In connection with any payment, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator are entitled to rely conclusively on any instructions provided to them by the Administrative Agent.

Before the Collateral Agent or Collateral Administrator acts or refrains from acting, it may require, and may conclusively rely on, a certificate (which may be constituted by written directions provided in accordance with this Agreement) of an officer of the Company, the Portfolio Manager, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, to the extent that the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator is permitted to act at the direction of such person or persons in accordance with the Loan Documents as it relates to the matter or matters to be certified. The Collateral Agent or Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate.

The Collateral Agent or Collateral Administrator may, from time to time, request that the parties hereto deliver a certificate (upon which the Collateral Agent or Collateral Administrator may conclusively rely) setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Agreement or any related document together with a specimen signature of such authorized officers and the Collateral Agent or Collateral Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the then current certificate until receipt of a superseding certificate.

In order to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (“Applicable Bank Law”), the entity serving as Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Administrator is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with such entity. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator upon its reasonable request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator to comply with Applicable Bank Law.

- 71 -

The rights, protections and immunities given to the Agents in this Section 9.01, Section 9.02(c) and Section 9.02(h) shall likewise be available and applicable to the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator.

SECTION 9.02. Additional Provisions Relating to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator.

(a) Collateral Agent May Perform. The Collateral Agent shall from time to time take such action (at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein and the Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Agent in writing to take any action incidental thereto; provided that, in each case, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to take any such action in the absence of such direction and shall have no obligation to comply with any such direction if it reasonably believes that the same (1) is contrary to Applicable Law or this Agreement or (2) is reasonably likely to subject the Collateral Agent to any loss, liability, cost or expense, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, issuing such instruction make provision reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent for payment of same (which provision may be payment of such cost or expense by the Company (subject to the limitations set forth herein) in accordance with the Priority of Payments or the provision of indemnity or security by or on behalf of the directing party, in either case, if such arrangement is reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent). With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Administrative Agent; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Agent, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Collateral Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise the requesting party makes provision reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent for payment of same (which provision may be repayment for such liability by the Company (subject to the limitations set forth herein) in accordance with the Priority of Payments or the provision of indemnity or security by or on behalf of the requesting party, in either case, if such arrangement is reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent). In the event the Collateral Agent requests the consent or direction of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent does not receive a consent or direction (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent or applicable direction to the relevant action.

If, in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Agent shall request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken prior to receipt of such instruction. 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.. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on the advice of legal counsel and independent accountants in performing its duties hereunder and shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if it acts in accordance with such advice. Each of the Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator and Securities Intermediary agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement and other Loan Documents sent by unsecured email, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, that each party providing such instructions or directions shall provide to the Collateral

- 72 -

Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary written notice of persons designated to provide instructions or directions. The Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator and Securities Intermediary shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Collateral Agent’s, Collateral Administrator’s and Securities Intermediary’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Each party hereto agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator and Securities Intermediary, including without limitation the risk of the Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator and Securities Intermediary acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties. Any party providing such instructions acknowledges and agrees that there may be more secure methods of transmitting such instructions than the method(s) selected by it and agrees that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of such instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances.

(b) Custody and Preservation. The Collateral Agent is required to hold in custody and preserve any of the Collateral in its possession pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the standard of care set forth herein, provided that the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have complied with the terms of this Agreement with respect to the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as the Company reasonably requests (or, following the occurrence of a Market Value Event or following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, as the Administrative Agent reasonably requests), but failure of the Collateral Agent to comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent will not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any liens thereon.

(c) Collateral Agent Not Liable. Except to the extent arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, criminal conduct, fraud or reckless disregard of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable by reason of its compliance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to (1) the investment of funds held thereunder in Eligible Investments (other than for losses attributable to the Collateral Agent’s failure to make payments on investments issued by the Collateral Agent, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as collateral agent, in accordance with their terms) or (2) losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its stated maturity. It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Collateral Agent is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Portfolio Investments or other Collateral.

Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Subject to the conditions set forth below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Financing Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Administrative Agent and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or a Market Value Event shall have occurred, if such assignee is not an Eligible Assignee, the Company; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent or the Company shall be required for an assignment of any Financing Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Financing Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; and (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof below, from and after the effective date specified in each assignment and assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment and assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment and assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment and assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto as a Lender but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.03 and 10.04).

The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, any Lender and the Portfolio Manager, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

- 78 -

pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Lender Participant, agree to any Material Amendment that adversely affects such Lender Participant.

(d) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Lender Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Lender Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Lender Participant or any information relating to a Lender Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 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. The Company agrees that each Lender Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01(e) and 3.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.03(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.03(f) shall be delivered to the Lender that sells the participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Lender Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.01(f) relating to replacement of Lenders as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 10.06 and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01(e) and 3.03, with respect to any participation, than the Lender that sells the participation 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 Lender Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the replacement of Lenders provisions set forth in Section 3.01(f) with respect to any Lender Participant.

SCHEDULE 3

Eligibility Criteria

Such obligation is a Loan or a Debt Security and is not a Synthetic Security, a Zero-Coupon Security, a Structured Finance Obligation, a Participation Interest (other than an Initial Portfolio Investment acquired by the Company pursuant to a Sale Agreement), a Revolving Loan, a letter of credit or an interest therein, or a Mezzanine Obligation (other than a Liquid Debt Security, if applicable) (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any other unsecured obligation of an obligor).

2.	Such obligation does not require the making of any future advance or payment by the Company to the issuer thereof or any related counterparty except in connection with a Delayed Funding Term Loan.

3.	Such obligation is eligible to be entered into by, sold or assigned to the Company and pledged to the Collateral Agent.

4.	Such obligation is denominated and payable in U.S. dollars and purchased at a price that is at least 80% of the par amount of such obligation.

5.	Such obligation is issued by a company organized in an Eligible Jurisdiction.

It is an obligation upon which no payments are subject to deduction or withholding for or on account of any withholding Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction unless the related obligor is required to make “gross-up” payments that cover the full amount of any such withholding Taxes (subject to customary conditions to such payments which the Company (or the Portfolio Manager on behalf of the Company) in its good faith reasonable judgment expects to be satisfied).

Such obligation is not subject to an event of default (as defined in the Underlying Instruments for such obligation) in accordance with its terms (including the terms of its Underlying Instruments after giving effect to any grace and/or cure period set forth in the related loan agreement or issuance document, but not to exceed five (5) days) and no Indebtedness of the obligor thereon ranking pari passu with or senior to such obligation is in default with respect to the payment of principal or interest or is subject to any other event of default that would trigger a default under the related loan agreement or issuance document (after giving effect to any grace and/or cure period set forth in the related loan agreement or issuance document, but not to exceed five (5) days) (a “Defaulted Obligation”).

8.	The timely repayment of such obligation is not subject to non-credit-related risk as determined by the Portfolio Manager in its good faith and reasonable judgment.

It is not at the time of purchase or commitment to purchase the subject of an offer other than an offer pursuant to the terms of which the offeror offers to acquire a debt obligation in exchange for consideration consisting solely of cash in an amount equal to or greater than the full face amount of such debt obligation plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

10.	Such obligation is not an equity security and does not provide, on the date of acquisition, for conversion or exchange at any time over its life into an equity security.

11.	Such obligation provides for periodic payments of interest thereon in cash at least semi-annually.

12.	Such obligation will not cause the Company or the pool of Collateral to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

13.	The Portfolio Investment has been Delivered to the Collateral Agent.

14.

In the case of a Portfolio Investment that is a Loan, (i) the Administrative Agent is an “Eligible Assignee” (as such term, or comparable term, is defined in the Underlying Instruments in respect of such Portfolio Investment) and such Portfolio Investment is otherwise permitted to be entered into by, sold or assigned to the Administrative Agent and (ii) with respect to any Portfolio Investment with respect to which the administrative agent is BC Partners LLP or any Affiliate thereof, the Company has delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold in custody in accordance with this Agreement (to be provided to the Administrative Agent following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or following the occurrence of a Market Value Event) an assignment agreement duly executed by the administrative agent (to the extent required to effect an assignment pursuant to such Underlying Instruments) in respect of such Portfolio Investment, naming the Administrative Agent as assignee not later than five (5) Business Days following the Settlement Date for such Portfolio Investment .

15.

Following the relevant Trade Date, such Portfolio Investment has not been amended to (a) reduce the principal amount of such Portfolio Investment, (b) postpone the maturity date or any scheduled prepayment date in respect of such Portfolio Investment, (c) alter the pro rata allocation or sharing of payments or distributions required by any related Underlying Instruments in a manner adverse to the Company, (d) release any material guarantor of such Portfolio Investment from its obligations in a manner materially adverse to the Company, or (e) terminate or release any lien on a material portion on the collateral securing such Portfolio Investment in a manner materially adverse to the Company, in each case without the re-approval of such Portfolio Investment by the Administrative Agent in the manner set forth in Section 1.02 of the Agreement following receipt of a request therefor from the Portfolio Manager and subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (a)(1), (3) and (4) of Section 1.03 of the Agreement; provided that this clause 15 shall not be applicable for purposes of Section 1.03 of the Agreement in connection with the initial acquisition of such Portfolio Investment by the Company.

The following capitalized terms used in this Schedule 3 shall have the meanings set forth below:

“Eligible Jurisdictions” means the United States and any State therein.

“Revolving Loan” means any Loan (other than a Delayed Funding Term Loan, but including funded and unfunded portions of revolving credit lines) that under the Underlying Instruments relating thereto may require one or more future advances to be made to the obligor by a creditor, but any such Loan will be a Revolving Loan only until all commitments by the holders thereof to make advances to the obligor thereon expire or are terminated or are irrevocably reduced to zero.

“Structured Finance Obligation” means any obligation issued by a special purpose vehicle and secured directly by, referenced to, or representing ownership of, a pool of receivables or other financial assets of any obligor, including collateralized debt obligations and mortgage-backed securities.

“Synthetic Security” means a security or swap transaction, other than a participation interest or a letter of credit, that has payments associated with either payments of interest on and/or principal of a reference obligation or the credit performance of a reference obligation.

- 3 -

SCHEDULE 4

Not less than 65% of the Collateral Principal Amount may consist of Senior Secured Loans and cash and Eligible Investments on deposit in the Collection Account as Principal Proceeds.

Not more than 35% of the Collateral Principal Amount may consist of Liquid Debt Securities and Second Lien Loans (provided not more than 15% of the Collateral Principal Amount may consist of Liquid Debt Securities).
