If the Company receives any other information related to a Portfolio Investment (whether during a month in which an Interest Payment Date falls or otherwise), the Company shall make reasonable efforts to promptly provide such information to the Administrative Agent. In addition, on the 20th day of each calendar month, commencing in November 2016, and upon request by the Administrative Agent, the Company shall cause the Investment Manager to provide reports relating to the Portfolio Investments by such means as mutually agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Investment Manager.

(b) The Company, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, may dispute the Market Value of some or all of the Portfolio Investments. By no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City Day, on the next Business Day of the related date of determination, the Company may obtain an Independent Bid. The Independent Bid must be maintained by the Independent Broker-Dealer and actionable for the Administrative Agent before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such next Business Day. If the Company obtains an Independent Bid and submits to the Administrative Agent evidence of such Independent Bid no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such next Business Day, then such Independent Bid shall be used to determine the Market Value of such Portfolio Investment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to disregard as invalid any Independent Bid submitted by any Independent Broker-Dealer if, in the Administrative Agent’s good faith judgment: (i) such Independent Broker-Dealer is ineligible to accept assignment or transfer of the relevant Portfolio Investment or portion thereof, as applicable, substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for such Portfolio Investment, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent; or (ii) such firm bid or such firm offer is not bona fide due to the insolvency of the Independent Broker-Dealer or that, as of the relevant date of determination, the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that such Independent Broker-Dealer is in default under purchase contracts for assets similar to the Portfolio Investment in an aggregate amount in excess of $250,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, the Market Value of any (i) Portfolio Investment that has not been Approved by the Administrative Agent or (ii) Ineligible Investment shall be $0 and cannot be disputed.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Parent may, from time to time in its sole discretion, (x) deposit amounts into the Principal Collection Account, and/or (y) transfer Portfolio Investments as equity contributions to the Company.

ARTICLE III ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE FINANCINGS

Section 3.01. The Advances.

(a) Making the Advances. If the Lenders are required to make the Advances to the Company as provided in Section 2.02, then each Lender shall make its Advance on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, to the Company or its designee. 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. Once drawn, Advances may only be repaid or prepaid in accordance with this Agreement and may not be reborrowed.

(b) Interest on the Advances. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Advance is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to the Advances as provided in the preceding sentence.

(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 in the United States a register (the “Register”) in which it shall record the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Financing Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances (and related interest amounts) due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Lender hereunder, a copy of each assignment and assumption delivered to it and 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 shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the parties hereto shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender and the owner of the amounts owing to it hereunder as reflected in the Register for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

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 such Lender (or its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the creation of a promissory note, any transfer of an interest in such note shall not be effective until reflected in the Register. 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 such payee and its registered assigns.

-27-

(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 or, if no Financing Commitments then exist, their respective portions of the Advances.

(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, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other 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) such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, other than immaterial, incidental expenses), to transfer within twenty (20) days after it gives notice under this clause (e), all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another of its offices, branches or affiliates with respect to which such performance would not be unlawful, and (3) if such Lender or the Administrative Agent is unable to effect a transfer under clause (2), 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 end of the then-current Calculation Period (or, if sooner repayment is required by law, be repaid within ten (10) Business Days of such Lender giving the Company notice thereof); provided 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 in the Fee Letter.

(f) Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; and the result shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Company will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

All payments to be made hereunder by the Company in respect of the Advances shall be made without set-off or counterclaim.

-28-

Section 3.02. General.

The provisions of Section 3.01 and any other provisions relating to the types of Financings contemplated by each such section shall not be operative until and unless such types of Financing have been made available to the Company, as evidenced by the Transaction Schedule.

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. 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. Without duplication of other amounts payable by the Company under this Section 3.03, 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 ten (10) Business 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 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, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, (i) the Administrative Agent for 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), and (ii) the Administrative Agent for any (A) Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of 10.08 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (B) 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).

-29-

(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 Lenders. (i) Any Recipient 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 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.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), an executed original IRS Form W-9 or a copy thereof certifying that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax; provided, however, that if the Recipient is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, it shall provide the appropriate withholding form of its owner for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (together with appropriate supporting documentation);

(B) 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 or any information in a previously provided form changes), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the 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.

-31-

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.

(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 or credit in lieu thereof 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 or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of reasonable 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 or credit). 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 or credit 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 or credit had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(j) 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, and the termination, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 3.04. Mitigation Obligations.

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

-32-

(b) Replacement of Recipient. If any Recipient requests compensation under Section 3.01(e), or if the Company is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Recipient or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Recipient pursuant to Section 3.03 and, in each case, such Recipient has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.04(a) or such designation would not eliminate the need for such payments, or if any Lender is a defaulting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Recipient and the Administrative Agent, require such Recipient to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.08), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.01(e) or Section 3.03) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such rights and obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

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

(ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iii) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

No Lender shall 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.

ARTICLE VIII ACCOUNTS; COLLATERAL SECURITY

Section 8.01. The Accounts; Agreement as to Control.

(a) Establishment and Maintenance of Accounts. The Company has directed and the Securities Intermediary hereby acknowledges that it has established (1) an account designated as the “Custodial Account”; (2) an account designated as the “CE Cure Account”; (3) an account designated as the “Interest Collection Account” and (4) an account designated as the “Principal Collection Account” (the Custodial Account, CE Cure Account, Interest Collection Account and Principal Collection Account, each, an “Account” and, collectively, the “Accounts”), and the account numbers for the Accounts are set forth on the Transaction Schedule. The Securities Intermediary agrees to maintain each of the Accounts as a securities intermediary in the name of the Company subject to the lien of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and agrees not to change the name or account number of any Account without the prior consent of the Collateral Agent. The Securities Intermediary hereby certifies that it is a bank or trust company that in the ordinary course of business maintains securities accounts for others and in that capacity has established the Accounts in the name of the Company.

-51-

Nothing herein shall require the Securities Intermediary to credit to any Account or to treat as a financial asset (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) any asset in the nature of a general intangible (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(42) of the UCC) or to “maintain” a sufficient quantity thereof (within the meaning of Section 8-504 of the UCC). Notwithstanding any term hereof or elsewhere to the contrary, it is hereby expressly acknowledged that (a) interests in loans may be acquired and delivered by the Company to the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Agent from time to time that are not evidenced by, or accompanied by delivery of, a security (as that term is defined in UCC Section 8-102) or an instrument (as that term is defined in Section 9-102(a)(47) of the UCC), and may be evidenced solely by delivery to the Collateral Agent of a facsimile copy of a loan agreement, participation agreement or an assignment agreement (“Loan/Assignment Agreement”) in favor of the Company, (b) any such Loan/Assignment Agreement (and the registration of the related loan on the books and records of the applicable obligor or bank agent) shall be registered in the name of the Company and (c) any duty on the part of the Securities Intermediary or Collateral Agent with respect to such loan (including in respect of any duty it might otherwise have to maintain a sufficient quantity of such loan for purposes of UCC Section 8-504) shall be limited to the exercise of reasonable care by the Collateral Agent in the physical custody of any such Loan/Assignment Agreement that may be delivered to it. It is acknowledged and agreed that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Securities Intermediary is under a duty to examine Underlying Instruments to determine the validity or sufficiency of any Loan/Assignment Agreement (and shall have no responsibility for the genuineness or completeness thereof), or for the issuer’s title to any related loan.

(b) Collateral Agent in Control of Securities Accounts. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (1) each Account shall be deemed to be a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC in effect in the State of New York), (2) all property credited to any Account shall be treated as a financial asset for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC and (3) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent will be exclusively entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each financial asset credited to each Account. The parties hereto agree that the Securities Intermediary shall act only on entitlement orders or other instructions with respect to the Accounts originated by the Collateral Agent and no other person (and without further consent by any other person); and the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal over each Account. The only permitted withdrawals from the Accounts shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Subordination of Lien, Etc. If the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Account or any security entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Agent. The property credited to any Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the Collateral Agent (except that the Securities Intermediary may set-off (1) all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Accounts, and (2) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to any Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).

-52-

(d) Property Registered, Indorsed, etc. to Securities Intermediary. All securities or other property underlying any financial assets credited to any Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary, and in no case will any financial asset credited to any Account be registered in the name of the Company, payable to the order of the Company or specially indorsed to the Company except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank.

(e) Jurisdiction; Governing Law of Accounts. The establishment and maintenance of each Account and all interests, duties and obligations related thereto shall be governed by the law of the State of New York and the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) shall be the State of New York. Terms used in this Section 8.01 without definition have the meanings given to them in the UCC.

(f) No Duties. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Securities Intermediary shall not have any additional duties other than those expressly set forth in this Section 8.01, and the Securities Intermediary shall satisfy those duties expressly set forth in this Section 8.01 so long as it acts without gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Securities Intermediary shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, and the Securities Intermediary shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers.

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 and the Lenders (collectively, the “Secured Parties”) under this Agreement (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”), the Company hereby pledges, hypothecates, assigns, charges, mortgages, delivers, and transfers the Collateral to the Collateral Agent, and grants to the Collateral Agent a continuing first priority 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 assets or 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: (1) each Portfolio Investment, (2) the Accounts and all investments, obligations and other property from time to time credited thereto, (3) the Investment Management Agreement and all rights relating thereto (excluding any right of the Company to replace or terminate the Investment Manager), (4) the Participation Agreement and all rights related thereto, (5) all other property of the Company and (6) all proceeds thereof, all accessions to and substitutions and replacements for, any of the foregoing, and all rents, profits and products of any thereof.

Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, no interests in or of any Foreign Subsidiary of the Company shall be pledged or similarly hypothecated to guarantee or support any obligations of the Company; provided, that this exception shall not apply to a pledge of equity interests of any first tier Foreign Subsidiary representing sixty-five percent (65%) or less of the voting equity interests and 100% or less of the non-voting equity interests of such Foreign Subsidiary. The parties agree that any pledge, guaranty or security or similar interest made or granted in contravention of the immediately preceding sentence shall be void ab initio.

-53-

(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).

(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 Financing Providers) do any of the following:

(1) 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 offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Financing Providers) may deem commercially reasonable. The Company agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) 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 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.

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

(3) 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.

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

(5) Take control of any proceeds of the Collateral.

-54-

(6) 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.

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

In connection with the sale of Portfolio Investments by any Agent in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.02(c), subject to the limitations set forth therein, the provisions set forth in the second paragraph of Section 1.04 regarding the sale of Portfolio Investments by an Agent shall apply to any such sale hereunder.

(d) Compliance with Restrictions. The Company agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel 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 further agrees 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 Investment Manager for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

(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. In the absence of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Company hereby waives any claims against each Agent and Financing Provider 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 Financing Providers, 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 Financing Providers 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.

-55-

(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.

(h) Termination. Upon the payment in full in cash of all Secured Obligations, 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.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company has engaged the Collateral Administrator pursuant to the Collateral Administration Agreement to compile and provide the information and reports to be provided in this Section 8.03.

(b) Cooperation. The Company shall cause the Investment Manager to cooperate with the Collateral Administrator in the preparation of the reports to be delivered under this Section 8.03. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall cause the Investment Manager to supply in a timely fashion any information maintained by it that the Collateral Administrator may from time to time reasonably request with respect to the Portfolio Investments and any information reasonably necessary to complete the reports to be prepared by the Collateral Administrator hereunder or required to permit the Collateral Administrator to perform its obligations hereunder.

Each of the Financing Providers 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 Agent 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 Financing Provider hereby agree that no Financing Provider 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 in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Each financial institution serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Financing Provider (if applicable) as any other Financing Provider 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.

No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent 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 that such Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by (i) in the case of the Collateral Agent (A) in respect of the exercise of remedies under Section 8.02(c), the Required Financing Providers, or (B) in all other cases, the Administrative Agent or (ii) in the case of any Agent, the Required Financing Providers (or such other number or percentage of the Financing Providers as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided herein), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent 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 or any of its affiliates in any capacity. The Collateral Agent shall not 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 or the Required Financing Providers (or such other number or percentage of the Financing Providers that shall be permitted herein to direct such action or forbearance). No Agent 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 Financing Providers (or such other number or percentage of the Financing Providers that shall be permitted herein to direct such action or forbearance). Each Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to it by the Company or a Financing Provider, and no 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 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 or any other agreement, instrument or document, 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. No 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.

-57-

Each Agent 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 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 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 or be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of attorneys appointed by it with due care.

In the event the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator shall receive conflicting instruction from the Administrative Agent and the Required Financing Providers, the instruction of the Required Financing Providers shall govern. Neither the Collateral Administrator 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 neither the Collateral Administrator nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for, and shall not be under any duty to monitor or determine, compliance with the Eligibility Criteria (Schedule 3) or the conditions to any purchase hereunder in any instance, or 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 Agent 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; provided, however, that any such sub-agent receiving payments from the Company shall be a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1T and a “U.S. financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1471-1(b)(136). No Agent shall be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any sub-agent or attorney appointed by such Agent with due care. Each Agent 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 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, as the case may be.

-58-

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, each Agent may resign at any time by notifying the other Agents, the Financing Providers, the Investment Manager and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Financing Providers shall have the right (with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or no Coverage Event has occurred, the consent of the Company) to appoint a successor; provided, however, that any such successor receiving payments from the Company shall be a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1T and a “U.S. financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1471-1(b)(136). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Financing Providers and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Financing Providers, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an affiliate of any such bank provided, however, that any such successor receiving payments from the Company shall be a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1T and a “U.S. financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1471-1(b)(136). 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 gives notice of its resignation, such Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor provided, however, that any such successor receiving payments from the Company shall be a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1T and a “U.S. financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1471-1(b)(136). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent 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 retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, 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 Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

Each Financing Provider acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Financing Provider 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 Financing Provider also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Financing Provider 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.

-59-

Anything in this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event shall any Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary be liable for special, indirect, punitive 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 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 or the Collateral Administrator, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent or the Collateral Administrator was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

Each Agent 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 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 the part of the Agents, the Agents 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 the Agents, reasonably believed by the Agents 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 the Agents, the Agents 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.

No Agent 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. The protections set forth in this Section 9.01 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 Financing Providers) for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein, provided that 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 (2) might subject the Collateral Agent to any loss, liability, cost or expense, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Financing Providers, as the case may be, issuing such instruction makes provision satisfactory to the Collateral Agent for payment of same. With respect to 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, the Required Financing Providers or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the determination of the Collateral Agent, (1) is contrary to Applicable Law or (2) is reasonably likely to subject the Collateral Agent to any loss, liability, cost or expense, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Financing Providers, as the case may be, issuing such instruction make provision satisfactory to the Collateral Agent for payment of same. In the event the Collateral Agent requests the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such request, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.

-60-

If, in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Agent may request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it. If the Collateral Agent does not receive such instructions within five (5) Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action and shall have no liability in connection therewith except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. 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 with no liability therefor and shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if it acts in accordance with such advice.

(b) Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession, provided that the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as the Company reasonably requests at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but failure of the Collateral Agent to comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care. 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. 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.

-61-

(d) Certain Rights and Obligations of the Collateral Agent. Without further consent or authorization from any Financing Providers, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have released any lien encumbering any item of Collateral upon its sale or other disposition permitted by this Agreement (except for the proceeds of such sale or disposition and except to the extent of the interest, if any, that thereafter reverts to the Company for any reason) or as otherwise permitted or required hereunder or to which the Required Financing Providers have otherwise consented. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, any Agent or Financing Provider may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Financing Providers (but not any Financing Provider in its individual capacity unless the Required Financing Providers shall otherwise agree), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the purchaser at such sale.

(e) Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator and Securities Intermediary Fees and Expenses. The Company agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator such fees as agreed to in a separate fee letter agreement, dated June 22, 2011, among the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Company and acknowledged hereby by the Administrative Agent and as may be subsequently modified as agreed among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator in writing. The Company further agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator, or reimburse the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator for paying, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Agreement, the Collateral Administration Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. On each Interest Payment Date, prior to the payment of any other amounts due under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Company agrees that it shall first pay any fees and amounts due to the Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator and Securities Intermediary under this Agreement to the extent of Interest Proceeds available for distribution in the Interest Collection Account on such Interest Payment Date; provided that in no event shall the aggregate amount of such fees and amounts exceed $400,000 in any 12 month period (the “Annual Cap”) during the term of this Agreement. If any amounts are due and owing in excess of the Annual Cap on any Interest Payment Date, the Company agrees to pay such excess amounts, to the extent of Proceeds available for distribution in the Interest Collection Account on such Interest Payment Date, on a pari passu basis with any indemnities or expense reimbursements payable to the Administrative Agent, immediately after payment of any interest and principal amounts owed and fees and other amounts payable to the Lenders and prior to payments to any other party under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(f) Execution by the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator. The Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator are executing this Agreement solely in their capacity as Collateral Agent and Collateral Administrator hereunder and in no event shall have any obligation to make any Advance, provide any Financing or perform any obligation of the Administrative Agent hereunder.

-62-

(g) Information Provided to Collateral Agent and Collateral Administrator. Without limiting the generality of any terms of this Section, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Administrator shall have liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of the Investment Manager, the Administrative Agent or the Company to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and, absent gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on the Collateral Agent’s or Collateral Administrator’s, as applicable, part of any of its duties hereunder that is caused by or results from any such inaccurate, incomplete or untimely information received by it, or other failure on the part of any such other party to comply with the terms hereof.

-63-

Section 10.03. No Waiver.

No failure on the part of any party hereto to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 10.04. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

Payments under this Section 10.04(b) shall be made by the Company to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the relevant Indemnitee.

Section 10.06. Confidentiality.

Each Agent, the Securities Intermediary and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information after receipt thereof (or, with respect to Information relating to or provided by an obligor in respect of a Portfolio Investment, for a period (as notified to the Agents, the Securities Intermediary and the Lenders) commencing upon receipt thereof and ending on the date on which the confidentiality obligations of the Company with respect to such obligor terminate) (it being understood that documents provided to the Administrative Agent hereunder may in all cases be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders) except that the Agents, the Securities Intermediary or such Lender may disclose such information (i) to its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, auditors, advisors or representatives, (ii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure in violation of this Agreement, (iii) to the extent such information was available to such party on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to such party hereunder, (iv) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (v) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.06, to (x) any assignee of or Participant in (to the extent such Person is permitted to become an assignee or Participant hereunder), or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (y) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company and its obligations, (vi) with the consent of the Investment Manager, or (vii) to the extent the such party should be (A) required in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding or (B) requested by any Governmental Authority to disclose such information; provided, that in the case of clause (vii) above, the Agent, the Securities Intermediary or such Lender, as applicable, will use reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality and will (unless otherwise prohibited by law) notify the Investment Manager of its intention to make any such disclosure prior to making any such disclosure. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.06 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender may disclose the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure with respect to the Financings.

-65-

Section 10.07. Non-Recourse.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company or the Investment Manager contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, partner, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of Company, the Investment Manager or any of their respective Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is solely a corporate obligation of the Company, and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of the Company, the Investment Manager or any of their respective Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of the Company or the Investment Manager contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by the Company or the Investment Manager of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute, rule or regulation, of every such incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement; provided however, the foregoing shall not be construed so as to exonerate or exculpate the Company or the Investment Manager from any liability by reason of a breach by such party of any of its obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Loan Documents or its willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Section 10.08. Successors; Assignments.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Financing Providers (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Company without such consent shall be null and void). 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.

-66-

(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 Coverage 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 Section 10.04).

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Financing Commitment and the Advances owing to it); provided that (1) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (2) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (3) the Company, the Agents and the other Financing Providers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Participant shall not be in privity with the Company. Any agreement or instrument 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 Participant, agree to any Material Amendment that affects such Participant.

-67-

(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 Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each 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 Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure (i) 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, (ii) is reasonably requested by the Borrower to determine whether a Participant is eligible to receive additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.01(f) as a result of a Change in Law occurring after the Participant acquired the applicable participation or (iii) is otherwise required thereunder. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register shall be treated 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 Participant shall be entitled through the Lender granting such participation (and for the avoidance of doubt shall have no direct rights against the Company) to the benefits of Sections 3.01(f) 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 participating Lender)) 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 Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.04 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.08(b) and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01(f) and 3.03, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

Section 10.09. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this Agreement (collectively, “Proceedings”), each party hereto irrevocably (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party. Nothing in this Agreement precludes any party hereto from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.

(c) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
