SECTION 2. THE REVOLVING FACILITY

(a) The Maximum Facility Amount. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lenders agree to make available to the Borrower an uncommitted revolving credit facility providing for loans (“Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the lesser of (A) the Maximum Facility Amount as of the funding date of such Loan and (B) the Borrowing Base as of the funding date of such Loan (calculated after giving effect to the deposit or investment of the proceeds on such funding date), which Loans shall be used by the Borrower to acquire Assets. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Loans until the Conversion Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge that this is an uncommitted facility and there is no express or implied commitment on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to provide any Loan except that, in the case of Assets approved by means of an Approval Request, the Lenders shall have committed to fund the related Loans (up to the amount(s) specified in the related Approval Request); provided that the related conditions precedent set forth in Section 7 are satisfied.

(b) Requests for Asset Approval. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Borrower, shall provide to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) a list of Assets (the “Asset List”) that the Borrower is requesting be included in the Approved List (as defined below) and which, subject to such inclusion, may be purchased with, if applicable, funds held in the Trust Account, the proceeds of one or more Loans or Principal Collections pursuant to Section 5(d). The Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) and the Administrative Agent shall adhere to the following procedures in requesting and approving Assets for purchase:

(i) For each Asset on the related Asset List sent to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) may provide a notice by electronic mail that contains the information listed in Annex A with respect to each Asset (together with any attachments required in connection therewith, an “Approval Request”), together with copies of any Material Documents in the possession of, or reasonably available to, the Collateral Manager related to such Asset requested by the Administrative Agent.

-40-

(ii) The Asset List shall be sent by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) on or before 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the Closing Date and the Administrative Agent shall have up to 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth Business Day following such date to notify the Collateral Manager of a list of Assets of up to 200 Assets from the Asset List which the Administrative Agent has approved for purchase by the Borrower (such list, the “Approved List”); provided that if the Administrative Agent does not notify the Collateral Manager by such time that it has approved or rejected one or more Approval Requests, such Approval Requests shall be deemed to be rejected and the related Assets shall not be included in the Approved List.

(iii) From the time the Administrative Agent has provided the Approved List or approved any Approval Request in accordance with clause (vii) below, the Borrower shall have the ability to commit to purchase and purchase any Asset on the Approved List or subject to such Approval Request without further approval by the Administrative Agent, provided that, the Borrower commits to purchase such Asset within ten (10) Business Days of approval by the Administrative Agent. After ten (10) Business Days from the date of approval by the Administrative Agent, any approved Asset, if not purchased or committed to be purchased by the Borrower, will be deemed to be removed from the initial Approved List or rejected unless subsequently approved again pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 2(b).

(iv) The Borrower shall have the ability to request (A) an addition to the Approved List (if the number of Assets on the Approved List is less than 200) by undertaking similar procedure to clause (vii) below, or (B) a removal from the Approved List.

(v) The Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may rescind its approval for any Asset on the Approved List at any time by notice to the Collateral Manager in writing; provided, that such rescission of approval shall not invalidate any commitment to purchase an Asset entered into by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf), prior to the delivery of such rescission.

(vi) No later than 12:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day following the day that the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) commits to purchase an Asset on the Approved List or pursuant to an approved Approval Request in accordance with clause (vii) below, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall provide by electronic mail to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator) a copy of the Portfolio Asset Buy Confirmation with respect to the related Asset; provided, that if the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) (x) does not enter into a commitment to purchase such Asset, the Collateral Manager, by 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the next Business Day, shall request the Administrative Agent to reconfirm to the Collateral Manager and the Borrower that the related approval shall remain valid until 4:30 p.m. New York City time on such Business Day.

-41-

(vii) With respect to Assets that are not on the applicable Approved List, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) may send an Approval Request at any time to the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent receives an Approval Request by 2:00 p.m. New York City time on any Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Collateral Manager and the Borrower in writing (including via electronic mail) whether it has approved or rejected such Approval Request by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the second Business Day after receipt (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that any Approval Request received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. New York City time on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day); provided that if the Administrative Agent does not notify the Collateral Manager that it has approved or rejected an Approval Request delivered by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the second Business Day after receipt, such Approval Request shall be deemed to be rejected unless an approval shall be subsequently communicated in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Collateral Manager.

(viii) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, acting in its sole and absolute discretion, to (A) approve or reject any Approval Request or the Approved List, (B) determine which Assets are included in the Approved List and (C) request additional information reasonably available to the Collateral Manager or the Borrower regarding any proposed Asset; provided that any rescission of approval shall not invalidate any commitment to purchase an Asset entered into by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) prior to the delivery of such rescission.

(c) Borrowings. If, prior to the Conversion Date, the Collateral Manager wishes to purchase an Asset on behalf of the Borrower for which the Approval Request has been approved pursuant to Section 2(b) and funds in the Trust Account are insufficient to provide for such purchase, the Collateral Manager shall request a Loan for such purpose by, no later than noon, New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed date of such Loan, providing to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) an irrevocable notice (which may be signed by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) by electronic mail substantially in the form of Annex B hereto (together with any attachments required in connection therewith, a “Borrowing Request”); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any request for a Loan to fund the unfunded portion of a Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation that was acquired pursuant to a prior approved Approval Request, such prior Approval Request shall be sufficient for purposes of the Borrowing Request for a Loan to fund the unfunded portion of such Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation. The Administrative Agent shall notify, as soon as reasonably practical but in no event later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to the proposed date of the Loan, the Lenders each time it receives a Borrowing Request. Unless otherwise agreed to by the

-42-

Lenders, each Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of U.S.$500,000 and shall be in an amount (not less than zero) equal to (i) the Purchase Price of the Asset, together with any purchased accrued interest with respect thereto (as specified in the Approval Request) minus (ii) the sum of (A) the balance (if any) in the Trust Account, (B) (without duplication) any Reinvestments to be made in connection with such Borrowing Request pursuant to Section 5(d) and (C) any proceeds expected to be received by the Borrower in connection with the any contribution required or expected to be made by the Equity Investors pursuant to Section 6 in connection with the purchase of such Asset. To the extent that more than one Lender is a party hereto, each Loan shall consist of loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan or portion of a Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan. Upon satisfaction of the conditions to borrowing set forth in this Section 2 and Section 7, the Lenders shall advance the applicable principal amount of each Loan on the date specified in the related Borrowing Request and the proceeds thereof shall be paid into the Trust Account or otherwise at the direction of the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) as set forth in the Borrowing Request for application toward the acquisition cost of the related Asset. The Lenders shall not be required to fund any Loans to the Borrower if a Default has occurred and is continuing.

In connection with the acquisition of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Borrower, shall state on the related Borrowing Request (i) the anticipated funding date of each Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation and (ii) to the extent known to the Collateral Manager, the amount anticipated to be funded in connection with each Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation and Revolving Collateral Obligation.

(d) Interest. Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Benchmark plus the Applicable Margin until repaid; provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Benchmark or the Reference Rate, as applicable, plus the Applicable Margin plus 2.00%. Interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan beginning on the date of receipt of the proceeds thereof by the Borrower through but excluding the date of payment thereof.

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and, if applicable, any related Breakage Costs, on the Maturity Date; provided that the Borrower shall partially or fully pay accrued and unpaid interest for the related Interest Accrual Period on each Payment Date (if any) to the extent of Interest Collections available for such payment pursuant to this Agreement (and any unpaid interest shall remain outstanding); and provided further that no Breakage Costs will be due in connection with the Maturity Date pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts shall be payable on demand.

In no case shall interest payable hereunder exceed the amount that the Lender may charge or collect under applicable law.

(e) Administrative Agent Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent a fee equal to $25,000 per annum (the “Administrative Agent Fee”); provided that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent Fee shall be equal to U.S.$50,000 per annum.

-43-

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent all accrued and unpaid Administrative Agent Fees on the Maturity Date; provided that the Borrower shall partially or fully pay accrued and unpaid Administrative Agent Fees for the related Interest Accrual Period on each Payment Date (if any) to the extent of Interest Collections available for such payment pursuant to this Agreement (and any unpaid Administrative Agent Fee shall remain outstanding). Fees paid in accordance with provisions hereof shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

(f) Collateral Management Fee. As consideration for the performance of the obligations of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement and the Collateral Management Agreement, subject to the terms and condition set forth in Sections 13(f) and (g), on the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Collateral Manager, pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Collateral Management Agreement, the Senior Collateral Management Fee then due and payable.

(g) Evidence of Loans. The Loans and all payments thereon shall be evidenced by the Administrative Agent’s loan accounts and records; provided that upon the request of any Lender, the Loans may be evidenced by a promissory note in the form of Annex C hereto in addition to such loan accounts and records. Such loan accounts, records and promissory note shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans and payments thereon. Any failure to record any Loan or payment thereon or any error in doing so shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans. In the event of a conflict between such loan accounts, records or promissory note and the Register, the entries in the Register shall control.

(h) Repayment of Principal on the Maturity Date. The entire Outstanding Principal Amount of Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, and on the Maturity Date the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, without notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor, or other notices or demands of any kind or character, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

(i) Prepayments.

(i) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Custodian and the Collateral Administrator, prepay one or more outstanding Loans in whole, or in part, on any Business Day, together with accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such Loans through (but excluding) the date of such prepayment and, if applicable, any related Breakage Costs. Such prepayment may be made with the proceeds of a sale or liquidation of a Portfolio Asset in accordance with the Transaction Documents or out of funds available in the Principal Collection Account or Trust Account on the date of such prepayment.

-44-

(ii) Mandatory Prepayments. (A) After the Revolving Period, in connection with any sale or disposition of a Portfolio Asset pursuant to Section 5, unless such proceeds may be used in connection with a Reinvestment pursuant to Section 5(d), the Borrower shall, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Custodian and the Collateral Administrator, use such sale or disposition proceeds to prepay one or more outstanding Loans in whole, or in part, on any Business Day, together with accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such Loans through (but excluding) the date of such prepayment and, if applicable, any related Breakage Costs; provided that instead of prepaying a Loan immediately with such proceeds the Borrower may deposit the proceeds into the Prepayment Reserve Account and effect such prepayment on or before the next Payment Date upon three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Custodian and the Collateral Administrator.

(B) On or before each of (1) the Business Day six months following the Conversion Date, (2) the Business Day 12 months following the Conversion Date, (3) the Business Day 18 months following the Conversion Date and (4) the Business Day 24 months following the Conversion Date (each, a “Target Date”), the Borrower shall prepay one or more outstanding Loans in whole, or in part, together with accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such Loans through (but excluding) the date of such prepayment and, if applicable, any related Breakage Costs, on any one or more Business Days prior to each Target Date in an amount equal to or greater than, in the aggregate, the Scheduled Principal Payment Amount for the related Target Date such that the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Loans as of such Target Date shall be no greater than the Scheduled Targeted Principal Balance for such date; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any remaining Outstanding Principal Amount shall be due in full on the Maturity Date.

(C) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation for more than 3 Business Days of a OC Ratio Stop Draw Event, all Interest Collections and Principal Collections shall be applied to prepay one or more outstanding Loans in whole, or in part, together with accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such Loans through (but excluding) the date of such repayment and, if applicable, any related Breakage Costs.

(k) Taxes.

(i) Except as required by law, all payments to the Lenders by or on account of the Borrower under this Agreement (including, for purposes of this Section 2(k), the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, and any successor or assignee) hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings (including backup withholding), assessments, fees or charges of any nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) and of all interest, penalties, additions to tax or similar liabilities with respect thereto (“Taxes”); provided that if any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to (A) notify the Administrative Agent of such requirement to the extent the Borrower is aware, (B) timely pay the full amount of such Taxes required by applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, pay the Lenders such additional amounts as will result in receipt by the Lenders of such amounts as would have been received by the Lenders had no deduction or withholding been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2(k)) for or on account of any such Indemnified Taxes, and (C) promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Borrower to the extent available to the Borrower (or such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to 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 present or future stamp, recording, court or documentary, intangible, filing or similar Taxes that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of, any performance, receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2(k)(iv)) (collectively, “Other Taxes”). The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative

-46-

Agent and each of the Lenders within 10 days of a written request, for the amount of any Indemnified Taxes, and the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2(k)) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or required to be withhold or deducted from a payment to such recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, regardless of whether the Indemnified Taxes or other liabilities for which indemnity is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower 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 those described in clauses (A), (B) and (D) of this subsection (ii) 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.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

-47-

(B) any Lender that is not a U.S. Person (“Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) 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 Transaction Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E 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 Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E 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;

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

(3) 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, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

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

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

-48-

(D) If a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has complied with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(iii) 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 2(k) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2(k)), 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 2(k) 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 (iii) (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 (iii), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (iii) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

-49-

(iv) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2(k)(i) with respect to itself, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage and the Borrower shall pay for all expenses associated with any change in lending office.

(v) For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Borrower will treat, and each Lender and Equity Investor will treat, the Loans as debt of, and the Membership Interests as equity in, the Borrower, and will not take any positions inconsistent with such positions unless otherwise required by law.

(vi) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower an executed copies of (A) if it is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 or (B) if it is not a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-8BEN-E with respect to any payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement that are received by the Administrative Agent on its behalf and, IRS Form W-8IMY properly completed to treat the Administrative Agent as a U.S. Person so that all payments made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement can be made without any U.S. withholding (including under FATCA).

(vii) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (1) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (2) any Taxes attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13(c)(iii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (3) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction 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 Transaction 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.

(viii) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2(k) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

(l) Reporting.

(i) The Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall provide (i) on each Business Day commencing on the fifth Business Day after the date of this Agreement, the daily reports in the form agreed to by the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Administrator, it receives from the Collateral Administrator (on each Business Day) regarding the Portfolio Assets and the Collateral to the Administrative Agent and (ii) a report stating (A) whether the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) disagrees with any information provided in the daily report from the Collateral Administrator and (B) any changes to the composition of the Portfolio Assets. In addition, the Collateral Manager (x) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Administrative Agent a monthly report including (i) the market value of each Portfolio Asset using Markit Partners or LoanX as the Pricing Source (but only to the extent that such market values are available from such Pricing Sources), (ii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Senior Net Leverage Ratio of each obligor with respect to each Portfolio Asset (as of any Relevant Test Period), (iii) whether a Revaluation Event has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the Market Value of each Portfolio Asset, (v) the identity of any Portfolio Asset that is a Deferring Security, (vi) the current stated cash spread and the percentage of interest that may be deferred and/or capitalized with respect to any Portfolio Asset and (vii) any other information as mutually agreed between the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Manager, and (y) shall monitor the S&P ratings of each Portfolio Asset and/or the obligor thereunder and promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of any downgrade, withdrawal or modification of such ratings.

(ii) Transparency Reporting. Once each Transparency Report has been prepared in accordance with Section 9(i) hereof, the Borrower (or the Reporting Agent on its behalf) shall make such reports available to the Relevant Recipients in accordance with Section 9(i) hereof. The Transparency Reports shall be determined as of each Cut-off Date, and shall be made available no later than (A) in relation to the initial Transparency Report, one month following the first Payment Date and (B) in relation to each subsequent Transparency Report, the earlier of (1) one month following the relevant Payment Date and (2) three months following the most recently published Transparency Report. The Transparency Reports, as of the date of this Agreement, shall include:

(1) a loan report in the form currently available on the website (as of the date hereof) ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇-▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇/▇▇▇/▇▇▇/?▇▇▇▇▇▇:▇:▇▇▇▇:▇▇▇:▇▇▇▇&▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as Annex IV (or, to the extent agreed with the Reporting Agent, any updated form required pursuant to the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1224 (the “Transparency Technical Standards”) and/or published by the European Securities and Markets Authority); and

-51-

(2) an investor report in the form currently available on the website (as of the date hereof) ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇-▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇/▇▇▇/▇▇▇/?▇▇▇▇▇▇:▇:▇▇▇▇:▇▇▇:▇▇▇▇&▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as Annex XII (or, to the extent agreed with the Reporting Agent, any updated form required pursuant to the Transparency Technical Standards and/or published by the European Securities and Markets Authority).

(m) Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations and Revolving Collateral Obligations. On the date that any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation is acquired by the Borrower, the acquisition of which was approved by the Administrative Agent and the terms of which require additional payments to be made by the Borrower after the acquisition thereof, (i) the Borrower shall transfer from the Trust Account into the Reserve Account, an amount up to the aggregate amount of all additional payments required to potentially be made by the Borrower, to the extent such funds are available, and (ii) the Lenders shall make a Loan in accordance with Section 2(c) to be deposited into the Reserve Account in an amount equal to any positive difference between (x) 27.5% of the aggregate amount of all additional payments to potentially be made by the Borrower after the acquisition of such Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation and (y) the amount transferred into the Reserve Account pursuant to clause (i). Any amount deposited into the Reserve Account by the Lenders shall be deemed to be a Loan on the date of deposit. All or a portion of the remaining 72.5% of the aggregate amount of all additional payments to potentially be made by the Borrower after the acquisition of such Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation (the “Excess Unfunded Delayed Draw/Revolver Amount”) may be borrowed at any time, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7, except that the approved Approval Request for the initial Portfolio Asset will be sufficient as an approved Approval Request for the funding of all or any portion of the remainder. With respect to any Revolving Collateral Obligation, if the Borrower receives any payment from the related obligor that may be reborrowed by the related obligor, the Borrower shall deposit such amount in the Reserve Account. All amounts in the Reserve Account will be invested in Eligible Investments as designated by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) and designated in a written instruction to the Custodian (which may be a standing instruction) and if no such designation of Eligible Investments has been made to the Custodian, such amounts shall be held uninvested. On the date that any additional payment is required to be made by the Borrower in connection with a Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation, amounts will be withdrawn from the Reserve Account by the Borrower without further consent of the Administrative Agent and applied to make such additional payment. In the event that any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation is sold by the Borrower or the amount of potential additional payments in respect of a Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation is irrevocably reduced, any amounts related to such Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation held in the Reserve Account may be transferred to the Principal Collection Account and the Excess Unfunded Delayed Draw/Revolver Amount will be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of the applicable reduction in the Borrower’s potential additional payment obligations with respect to such Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation. If, at any time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, a Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation becomes an Ineligible Asset, the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to liquidate such Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation in a timely fashion so as to minimize the number of additional payments the Borrower may be required to make with respect to such Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation following the Administrative Agent’s determination of the Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation’s or Revolving Collateral Obligation’s ineligibility.

(n) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from the Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2(n)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that any change to the definition of “Payment Date” shall require mutual agreement of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and be reasonably acceptable to the Custodian.

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower and the Collateral Manager of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2(n)(iv) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2(n), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or nonoccurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2(n).

-53-

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (x) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Accrual Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (y) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (x) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Accrual Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any Borrowing Request, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a Borrowing Request of or conversion to Loans bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(vi) Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section 2(n):

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Accrual Period” pursuant to clause (iv) of this Section 2(n).

-54-

“Benchmark” means, initially, the Term SOFR Reference Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Reference Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2(n).

“Benchmark Replacement” means with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the sum of:

(a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been jointly selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then- current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time; and

(b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, if any; provided that if such Benchmark Replacement as so determined would be less than the Floor, such Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), if any, that has been jointly selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (a) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.

-55-

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be non-representative; provided that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (3) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

-56-

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the NYFRB, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Start Date” means, in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, the earlier of (1) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (2) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the 90th day prior to the expected date of such event as of such public statement or publication of information (or if the expected date of such prospective event is fewer than 90 days after such statement or publication, the date of such statement or publication).

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in accordance with Section 2(n) and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in accordance with Section 2(n).

-57-

“Conforming Changes” means, with respect to either the use or administration of Term SOFR or the use, administration, adoption or implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “U.S. Government Securities Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Accrual Period” or any similar or analogous definition (or the addition of a concept of “interest period”), timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability of Breakage Costs and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of any such rate or to permit the use and administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of any such rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary, in consultation with the Borrower, in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents).

“Floor” means a rate of interest equal to 0%.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board or the NYFRB, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board or the NYFRB, or any successor thereto.

“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement excluding the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

(o) Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 2(n) above, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Accrual Period:

(i) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

(ii) the Lenders reasonably determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Accrual Period with respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan,

-58-

the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator). Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans with reference to Term SOFR and any right of the Borrower to continue Loans with reference to Term SOFR shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Loans or affected Interest Accrual Periods) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice (it being understood that the occurrence of any such event shall not require repayment of any Loans). Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans (to the extent of the affected Loans or affected Interest Accrual Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Loans in the amount specified therein bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) any outstanding affected Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Loans bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus the Applicable Margin at the end of the applicable Interest Accrual Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any applicable Breakage Costs under Section 2(d).

(p) Post-Pricing Increase of Facility. Subject to mutual agreement by the Collateral Manager, the Borrower, the Equity Investors, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to any necessary modifications of the Advance Rate, the Conversion Date and the Maturity Date and subject in all respects to the internal credit approval process of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and receipt of any internal credit approvals, in each case, the Maximum Facility Amount may be increased by an amount as mutually agreed by the Collateral Manager, the Borrower, the Equity Investors, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent on the third Business Day following the Pricing Date.

(q) Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

SECTION 3. ACCOUNTS

(a) On or before the date of the first Loan, the Borrower shall establish at the Securities Intermediary (i) a securities account (the “Collateral Account”) to which all Portfolio Assets will be credited, (ii) a securities account into which all interest proceeds from the Portfolio Assets and other Interest Collections (upon their identification as Interest Collections by the Collateral Manager) will be deposited (the “Interest Collection Account”), (iii) a securities account into which all principal proceeds received in connection with the Portfolio Assets (including any

-59-

repayments or prepayments of principal and amounts received in connection with any sale, termination or other dispositions thereof up to the outstanding principal amount thereof) and other principal proceeds, upon identification by the Collateral Manager will be deposited (the “Principal Collection Account” and, collectively with the Interest Collection Account, the “Collection Account”), (iv) a securities account (the “Trust Account”) into which all cash received by the Borrower from contributions by the Equity Investors, all Loan proceeds and any amounts transferred from the Principal Collection Account (with the consent of the Administrative Agent) will be deposited, (v) a securities account (the “Prepayment Reserve Account”) into which funds received by the Borrower in connection with any sale or disposition of a Portfolio Asset shall be deposited to the extent the Borrower elects to deposit such funds in accordance with Section 2(i)(ii)(A), (vi) a securities account (the “Reserve Account”) into which funds related to Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations and Revolving Collateral Obligations shall be deposited pursuant to Section 2(m) and (vii) a securities account (the “OC Ratio Posting Account”) into which funds related to Posting Contributions shall be deposited pursuant to Section 6. The Accounts shall be maintained in accordance with the Account Control Agreement.

(b) The only permitted withdrawal from or application of assets credited to the Collateral Account shall be to deliver such assets in connection with a sale, termination, repayment or other disposition of such asset against payment or exchange. Any cash payment received in connection with any such disposition shall be deposited into the Collection Account or paid to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders as provided herein, and any non-cash asset received in exchange shall be credited to the Collateral Account promptly.

(c) The Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) shall instruct each obligor under the Portfolio Assets (or, with respect to any Agented Asset, the paying agent) to deliver all proceeds in respect of the Collateral to the Collection Account. The Collateral Manager shall, on a daily basis (on each Business Day), identify collections received in the Collection Account on the second Business Day prior to such date of identification in connection with the Portfolio Assets as either Principal Collections or Interest Collections and notify the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary of such determination. To the extent not deposited directly into the Principal Collection Account, the Custodian shall cause all Principal Collections received on behalf of the Portfolio Assets in the Collection Account to be promptly (but in any event no later than one Business Day following identification thereof by the Collateral Manager) transferred by the Securities Intermediary to the Principal Collection Account. To the extent not deposited directly into the Interest Collection Account, the Custodian shall cause all Interest Collections received on behalf of the Portfolio Assets in the Collection Account to be promptly (but in any event no later than one Business Day following identification thereof by the Collateral Manager) transferred by the Securities Intermediary to the Interest Collection Account. The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account or Interest Collection Account shall be to make payments expressly provided for in this Agreement or to transfer funds to the Trust Account in connection with a Reinvestment pursuant to Section 5(d).

(d) The only permitted withdrawals from or application of funds on deposit in the Trust Account shall be to either (i) make payments on outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2(h) or (i) or other payments expressly provided for in this Agreement, or (ii) purchase Assets.

-60-

(e) The only permitted withdrawals from or application of funds on deposit in the Prepayment Reserve Account shall be by the Borrower to either (i) make mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2(i)(ii)(A) at or before the end of the applicable Interest Accrual Period or (ii) make payments on outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2(h).

(f) The only permitted withdrawals from or application of funds on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be either (i) to make additional payments with respect to a Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or a Revolving Collateral Obligation pursuant to Section 2(m) or (ii) to be deposited in the Principal Collection Account pursuant to Section 2(m) as a result of a sale of a Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or a Revolving Collateral Obligation or an irrevocable reduction of the Borrower’s additional payment obligations under a Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or a Revolving Collateral Obligation pursuant to the related Underlying Instruments.

(g) The only permitted withdrawals from or application of funds on deposit in the OC Ratio Posting Account shall be either (i) to be deposited in the Trust Account upon an Event of Default or (ii) to make a payment to the Equity Investors (or their applicable designees) in accordance with Section 6(b) hereof.

SECTION 4. SECURITY INTEREST

(a) Grant. As collateral security for the prompt payment in full and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by liquidation or otherwise) of the Borrower’s obligations to the Secured Parties hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Secured Obligations”), the Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and grants to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties a first priority continuing security interest in, lien on and right of set-off against, all assets of the Borrower, including, but not limited to, all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under each Portfolio Asset, all Underlying Instruments with respect to Portfolio Assets, the Borrower’s rights under each Transaction Document to which it is a party, each Account and all assets credited to and funds on deposit in each Account and all proceeds of the foregoing, in each case whether now owned or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence (collectively, the “Collateral”).

(b) Perfection, Etc. The Borrower shall:

(i) deliver to the Securities Intermediary any and all securities and instruments evidencing or otherwise relating to Collateral, endorsed and/or accompanied by such instruments of assignment and transfer in such form and substance as the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties may reasonably request, including by taking all steps reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and necessary to ensure that all Portfolio Assets that are securities are credited to the Collateral Account by the Securities Intermediary and held in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and all other Portfolio Assets held by the Securities Intermediary are otherwise marked to reflect the pledge and security interest provided for in this Agreement; provided that so long as no Event of Default shall have

-61-

occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, promptly upon request of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, make appropriate arrangements for making any securities or instrument pledged by the Borrower available to the Borrower or the Collateral Manager for purposes of presentation, collection or renewal (any such arrangement to be effected, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, against trust receipt or like document);

(ii) give, execute, deliver, file and/or record any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other papers, in each case requested by the Administrative Agent, that may be necessary or desirable (in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent) to create, preserve, perfect or validate the security interest granted hereunder or to enable the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such pledge and security interest;

(iii) permit the Administrative Agent or any Lender or its agents or representatives to visit the offices of the Borrower during normal office hours and upon reasonable notice examine and make copies of all documents, books, records and other information concerning the Collateral and promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender any information which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may reasonably request concerning the Collateral (such visitation and examinations not to occur more frequently than one (1) time every six calendar months in the absence of a Default with respect to the Collateral); and

(iv) preserve and protect the Secured Parties’ first priority security interest in Collateral, and take or cause any action reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and necessary to preserve, defend, maintain, protect, perfect or validate the Secured Parties’ first priority security interest.

(c) Remedies. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted in this Agreement, and in any other Transaction Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled at law or in equity.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below or otherwise required hereby) to or upon the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, any Equity Investor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices, or other defenses, are hereby waived to the extent permitted under applicable law except as otherwise provided herein), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose

-62-

of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over the counter market, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, without notice or publication, to adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and any such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be adjourned without further notice. The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of the Borrower, which right or equity of redemption is hereby waived or released. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, and each Equity Investor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties arising out of the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of its rights hereunder, except for any claims, damages and demands it may have against the Administrative Agent arising from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent or its affiliates, or any agents or employees of the foregoing.

The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion during the continuance of an Event of Default, send notification forms giving the obligors and/or agents on Portfolio Assets notice of the Administrative Agent’s interest in the Collateral on behalf of the Secured Parties and the obligation to make payments as directed by the Administrative Agent.

(d) Sales.

(i) Each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and each Equity Investor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and each Equity Investor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of being a private sale. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit Borrower to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Borrower would agree to do so.

(ii) Each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and each Equity Investor further shall use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to make any sale or sales of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 4(d) valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other requirements of applicable law.

(iii) Each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and each Equity Investor further agrees that a breach of any of their covenants contained in this Section 4(d) will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 4(d) shall be specifically enforceable against the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equity Investors and each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and each Equity Investor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Agreement or any defense relating to the Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

-64-

(iv)

(v) Each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and each Equity Investor agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not have any general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any Collateral sold by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, subject to applicable law, among other things, accept the first bid received, or decide to approach or not to approach any potential purchasers. Each of the

-65-

Borrower, the Collateral Manager and each Equity Investor hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct, and shall not incur any liability as a result of, the sale of any Collateral, or any part thereof, at any sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, it being agreed by the parties hereto that some or all of the Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily in value. The Borrower, the Collateral Manager and each Equity Investor hereby waive any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any of the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Borrower’s obligations under the Agreement, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first bid received and does not offer any Collateral to more than one bidder; provided that Administrative Agent has acted in a commercially reasonable manner in conducting such private sale. Without in any way limiting the Administrative Agent’s right to conduct a foreclosure sale in any manner which is considered commercially reasonable, each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and each Equity Investor hereby agrees that any foreclosure sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale, and each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and each Equity Investor hereby irrevocably waives any right to contest any such sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions:

(1) the Administrative Agent conducts such foreclosure sale in the State of New York;

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

(3) not more than thirty days before, and not less than three Business Days in advance of such foreclosure sale, the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Equity Investors at the address set forth herein of the time and place of such foreclosure sale.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, prior to any proposed private sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral, (i) the Administrative Agent shall give not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Manager and each Equity Investor of any such proposed private sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral, (ii) the Collateral Manager and/or the Equity Investors (or any designee thereof) may, but are not required to, irrevocably offer to buy all (but not less than all) Collateral (A) during the continuance of an Event of Default but prior to receipt of any notice of proposed private sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral from the Administrative Agent and (B) following receipt of the notice described in clause (i) above; provided that unless such offer is for at least the full amount of the Termination Obligations,

-66-

the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reject such offer in its sole discretion and, notwithstanding the delivery of such notice or the receipt of such offer, shall remain entitled to engage other potential buyers and continue with any proposed private sale, transfer or other disposition described in such notice or to refrain from selling any such item of such Collateral, in each case, its sole discretion, provided further that if (x) such irrevocable offer for at least the full amount of the outstanding Termination Obligations is delivered to the Administrative Agent in writing prior to the giving of the related notice of such proposed private sale, transfer or other disposition (or, within two (2) Business Days of the giving of the related notice of such proposed private sale, transfer or other disposition), in each case, by the Administrative Agent, (y) such irrevocable offer is subject to no conditions other than that the Collateral Manager and/or the Equity Investors (or any designee thereof), as applicable, will have up to 10 Business Days from the giving of the related notice of such proposed private sale, transfer or other disposition by the Administrative Agent (or, if no such notice was given by the Administrative Agent, 10 Business Days from the making of such irrevocable offer by Collateral Manager and/or the Equity Investors (or any designee thereof), as applicable) to fund such purchase (the “Offer Period”); provided, that the 10 Business Day periods in this clause (y) shall be extended for an additional 5 Business Days if the Equity Investors thereof provides evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the Equity Investors have made a capital call on its members, in an amount equal to at least the full amount of the Termination Obligations, in accordance with its organizational documents and the Equity Investors reasonably believe that such members will comply with such capital call obligation, and (z) the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion, based on evidence provided by the Collateral Manager, that the Collateral Manager and/or the Equity Investors (or any designee thereof), as applicable, will have cash and cash equivalents (and/or financing that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) sufficient to fund such purchase of the Collateral in full, the Administrative Agent shall take no further exercise of remedies during the Offer Period and (iii) to the extent any Collateral is to be disposed of in a public sale, the Collateral Manager and the Equity Investors (or any Affiliate or designee thereof) shall be entitled, subject to and in accordance with any rules of such public sale established by the Administrative Agent including any standard and customary eligibility requirements for bidders in such public sale, to bid on each such item of the Collateral being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to all other participants in such auction.

(e) No Other Liens. Except as expressly permitted hereunder and under the Account Control Agreement, the Borrower will not sell, assign, pledge, grant any security interest in, exchange, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of or grant any option with respect to such Collateral, or agree to do any of the foregoing, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

-67-

(f) Power of Attorney. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take any action and execute any instruments with respect to the Collateral that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable in connection with the following, each subject to the terms of this Agreement: (i) the Borrower’s grant of a security interest in the Collateral to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and any rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties may exercise in respect thereof upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (ii) the filing of one or more financing or continuation statements with respect to the Collateral, (iii) the sale, termination or other disposition of any Portfolio Asset at the direction of the Administrative Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default or on or after the Maturity Date or (iv) accomplishing any other purposes of this Agreement and the exercise of any remedies hereunder by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower agrees that the powers granted by this paragraph are coupled with an interest, discretionary in nature and exercisable at the sole option of the Administrative Agent. This power of attorney shall be binding upon, and enforceable against, all beneficiaries, successors, assigns, transferees and legal representatives of the Borrower.

(g) Termination of Security Interest. The security interest granted to secure the obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall automatically be terminated and released and all rights in the Collateral will revert to the Borrower on the date all of the Termination Obligations have been paid in full to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. In connection with such termination and release, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents, instruments and certificates as the Borrower shall reasonably require at the Borrower’s expense.

(h) Right of Set-Off. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are authorized to set-off any and all amounts due to it hereunder against any amounts payable to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their Affiliates, whether or not such amounts have matured.

-68-

OC Ratio will be maintained or improved as a result of the proposed sale or disposition, in each case, and (ii) both prior to, and immediately after, giving effect to such sale or disposition, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided that any of the requirements of clause (b) may be waived by the Administrative Agent and the Equity Investors by both providing their prior written confirmation to the Collateral Manager prior to any such proposed sale or disposition.

(c) The Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) shall sell, arrange to sell or otherwise dispose of all Portfolio Assets that are Ineligible Assets no later than the CLO Closing Date, subject to Sections 5(a) and (b).

SECTION 6. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE BORROWER

(a) If an OC Ratio Breach or an OC Ratio Stop Draw Event has occurred, within the OC Ratio Breach Cure Period, the Collateral Manager may, but shall not be required to, either (i) request that the Equity Investors (or any other Person designated by the Collateral Manager and approved in writing by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of complying with the Administrative Agent’s internal Know Your Customer requirements) make a cash payment into the OC Ratio Posting Account (any such payment a “Posting Contribution”), or (ii) direct the Borrower in writing to (and upon receipt of such direction Borrower shall) request the Equity Investors (or such other Person designated by the Collateral Manager and approved in writing by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of complying with the Administrative Agent’s internal Know Your Customer requirements) make additional contributions (any such contribution, a “Cure Capital Contribution” and, together with any Posting Contributions, “Capital Contributions”) subject and pursuant to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, in each case, in an amount that would cause such OC Ratio Breach to be cured or, in the event of an OC Ratio Stop Draw Event, would cause the OC Ratio to be equal to or greater than 100% after giving effect to such contribution and payment into the OC Ratio Posting Account.

(b) On any Business Day after any Equity Investor (or its designee) has made a Posting Contribution into the OC Ratio Posting Account in accordance with clause (a) above and amounts remain on deposit in the OC Ratio Posting Account, such Equity Investor may request that the Borrower calculate the amount of cash necessary to be on deposit in the OC Ratio Posting Account for there not to be an OC Ratio Breach. If the Borrower determines for a period of not less than 10 consecutive Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) that there is an OC Ratio Excess, then such Equity Investor may request in writing that the Custodian at the direction of the Borrower cause the return of all or a portion of the OC Ratio Excess as a distribution to such Equity Investor to repay all or a portion of the outstanding Posting Contributions. The Custodian at the written direction of the Borrower shall cause such amounts as specified by the Borrower to be returned within two Business Days of receiving such request. On the Maturity Date, after payment of the Termination Obligations, the Borrower shall cause the return of any amounts in the OC Ratio Posting Account to each Equity Investor (or its designee) as a distribution in the respective amounts owed to it on a pro rata basis based on the outstanding amount of Posting Contributions made by the Equity Investor (or its designee) that has not otherwise been previously repaid or applied to the payment of the Termination Obligations.

-70-

(d) Notwithstanding the amount of any additional contributions or additional Membership Interests issued as provided in this Section 6, each Lender shall only originate Loans up to their respective Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount.

(e) Upon its receipt of written notice of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall direct the Custodian to transfer any funds held in the OC Ratio Posting Account to the Trust Account, to be disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that upon the cure of any such Event of Default in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall direct the Custodian to return to the OC Ratio Posting Account any such funds transferred to the Trust Account pursuant to this Section 6(d), to the extent that such funds are still held therein.

The Borrower shall keep separate books and records, maintain separate financial statements and maintain accounts (if any) that are separate from any other entity. The Borrower shall hold itself out as a separate entity and correct any known misunderstanding regarding its separate identity. The Borrower shall not take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, that is likely to result in its separate existence being ignored or in its assets and liabilities being

Without limiting the foregoing, (1) the Borrower shall not have any Subsidiaries (other than any Tax Subsidiaries), (2) the Borrower shall not commingle its assets with the assets of any of its Affiliates, or of any other Person, and (3) the Borrower shall not have any employees other than its directors (to the extent they are employees) in their additional capacities as officers of the Borrower.

(iv) The Borrower shall (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of any proposed (x) Material Modification of any of the terms of any Portfolio Asset or (y) Distressed Exchange of any Portfolio Asset and (B) provide written notice of the consummation of any event described in (A), in each case, no later than four (4) Business Days following the date on which it receives notice of such event.

(v) The Borrower (or an agent on the Borrower’s behalf) shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed any tax returns or similar tax filings for the Borrower and for any Tax Subsidiary, in each case, to the extent applicable.

(vi) The Borrower shall at all times conduct its business so that any assumptions made with respect to the Borrower in the “substantive non-consolidation” opinion delivered in connection with any Equity Investor Assignment Agreement will continue to be true and correct in all material respects.

(i) organize, create or acquire any Subsidiary (other than Tax Subsidiaries);

-78-

(iv) to the extent the same is within its power or control, permit its certificate of formation, Limited Liability Company Agreement or other constitutive documents to be amended without the prior written consent of the Collateral Manager and the Administrative Agent (other than an amendment of its certificate of formation or Limited Liability Company Agreement in connection with the issuance of the CLO Securities, including, for the avoidance of doubt, changing its name in connection with the issuance of the CLO Securities on or after the CLO Takeout Pricing Date);

(v) issue shares in the capital of the Borrower (other than the Membership Interests issued pursuant to the Limited Liability Company Agreement and in accordance with this Agreement) or incur indebtedness of any kind other than Loans hereunder and other than Permitted Debt without the consent of the Administrative Agent; provided that if the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have received payment in full of the Termination Obligations on or prior to the CLO Takeout, the Administrative Agent hereby consents to the issuance of shares and the incurrence of indebtedness by the Borrower on the CLO Closing Date in connection with the Offering;

(vi) change its location (as defined in Section 9-307 of the UCC) or change its name from the name listed in the preamble hereto without the written consent (which may be via email) of the Administrative Agent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however that the Administrative Agent may withhold or delay its consent if such change is in contravention of the Administrative Agent’s then current written policies regarding transactions similar to those contemplated by the Transaction Documents and such withholding or delay shall be deemed reasonable for all purposes hereunder; provided further that notwithstanding the foregoing, no such consent shall be required in with a name change occurring in connection with the issuance of the CLO Securities on or after the CLO Takeout Pricing Date; or

(vii) permit the CLO Takeout to occur unless the net proceeds expected to be received from the issuance of the CLO Securities will be sufficient to pay the Termination Obligations in full to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

(d) Tax Covenants. For U.S. tax purposes the Borrower shall at all times be a partnership (other than a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation) or an entity disregarded from its owner. No Equity Investor shall (i) sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of its interest in the Borrower, in whole or in part, to any Person that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code or (ii) sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of its interest in the Borrower without the prior written consent of the Lender. Neither the Borrower nor any Equity Investor shall take any action that would be reasonably likely to cause the Borrower to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” taxable as a corporation or as a taxable mortgage pool, in each case, for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise subject to U.S. entity-level tax, other than by operation of Chapter 63 of the Code.

(f) Credit Risk Retention. At any time while this Agreement is in force and at the request of the Administrative Agent, the parties hereto hereby agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into any additional agreements or amendments that the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Collateral Manager) reasonably determines, based on advice of nationally recognized counsel, are necessary to permit the parties hereto to comply with the credit risk retention requirements of Section 15G of the Exchange Act, as added by the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act provided that neither the Collateral Manager nor the Equity Investors shall be required to enter into any additional agreement or amendment to any Transaction Document that (i) imposes any additional material obligation on it or under which it will incur additional or increased costs or (ii) requires it to purchase any additional securities or obligations or adds an additional requirement to retain existing securities or obligations.

(g) EU Securitization Regulation. At any time while this Agreement is in force and at the request of the Administrative Agent, the parties hereto hereby agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into any additional agreements or amendments that the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Collateral Manager) reasonably determines, based on advice of nationally recognized counsel, are necessary to permit the parties hereto to comply with the EU Securitization Regulation; provided that neither the Collateral Manager nor the Equity Investors shall be required to enter into any additional agreement or amendment to any Transaction Document that (i) imposes any additional material obligation on it or under which it will incur additional or increased costs or (ii) requires it to purchase any additional securities or obligations or adds an additional requirement to retain existing securities or obligations; provided further that, nothing in this clause shall be construed as requiring the Borrower, the Equity Investors or the Collateral Manager to assume any responsibility for the fulfillment of the requirements of Article 7 of the EU Securitization Regulation beyond those set out in Section 2(l)(ii) above and Section 9(i) below.

-80-

(h) EU Securitization Regulation Undertakings. The Retention Holder (and in respect of (viii), only, the Retention Holder and the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) hereby, for the benefit of each Lender and the Administrative Agent:

(i) agrees that it will retain, as originator, on an ongoing basis, a material net economic interest in the form specified in paragraph 3(d) of Article 6 of the EU Securitization Regulation, being retention of the first loss tranche (as such term is defined in the EU Securitization Regulation) and, if necessary, other tranches having the same or a more severe risk profile than those transferred or sold to investors and not maturing any earlier than those transferred or sold to investors, through holding Membership Interests of the Borrower in an amount equal to not less than 5% of the nominal value of the Portfolio Assets and Eligible Investments held by the Borrower (the “Retention Interest”);

(iii) represents that it (1) has, in its reasonable belief, established the securitization constituted by the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (the “Transaction”), and (2) was not established and does not operate for the sole purpose of securitizing exposures for the purposes of the EU Securitization Regulation;

(iv) agrees to confirm in writing to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent its continued compliance with the requirements set forth in sub-clauses (i) and (ii) above (1) on a monthly basis by no later than the 10th Business Day of each calendar month, commencing in February 2025; and (2) upon any written request therefor by the Administrative Agent or any Lender delivered (x) as a result of a material change in the performance of the applicable Loans made by such Lender, the risk characteristics of the Transaction, or the Assets and/or the Eligible Investments from time to time or (y) upon the breach of any Transaction Documents to which the Retention Holder is a party or upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;

(v) agrees to promptly, on becoming aware of the occurrence thereof, provide a written notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent of any failure to (1) hold the Retention Interest in accordance with sub-clause (i) above; or (2) comply with the covenant set out in sub-clause (ii) above in any material respect;

(vi) subject to any regulatory requirements and/or duties of confidentiality, agrees to, as promptly as reasonably practicable following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, such additional information as the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as applicable, may

-81-

reasonably request (without material expense (unless such material expense is reimbursed to the Retention Holder by the Administrative Agent) or extraordinary efforts (unless the costs of those extraordinary efforts are reimbursed to the Retention Holder by the Administrative Agent)) in order for such Lender to comply with the EU Securitization Regulation; provided that nothing in this clause (vi) shall be construed as requiring the Borrower, the Equity Investors or the Collateral Manager to assume any responsibility for the fulfillment of the requirements of Article 7 of the EU Securitization Regulation beyond those set out in Section 2(l)(ii) above and Section 9(i) below;

(vii) shall ensure that, at all times, the Borrower is, directly or indirectly, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Retention Holder; and

(i) Article 7 Reporting.

(i) The Borrower hereby agrees to be the designated entity in accordance with Article 7(2) of the EU Securitization Regulation (the “Reporting Entity”) and agrees to take all necessary steps required to fulfil the reporting requirements of the Transparency and Reporting Requirements, including, without limitation, making available to (A) any Lender or Equity Investor, (B) any potential Lender or potential Equity Investor, (C) any rating agency, (D) the Custodian and the Collateral Administrator, (E) (x) the Collateral Manager and/or (y) the portfolio manager, collateral manager, investment manager, as applicable, or sponsor or originator under the EU Securitization Regulation, (F) any competent authority (as determined under the EU Securitization Regulation), (G) any party expressly permitted access pursuant to the Transaction Documents or (H) the Borrower (each, a “Relevant Recipient”) the Required Information.

(ii) The Borrower shall also determine (which determination may be made in consultation with the Collateral Manager) whether any reports, data and other information is necessary or essential in connection with the preparation of any loan level reports, investor reports and any reports in respect of inside information and significant events, including, without limitation, each of the Investor Reports and the Portfolio Reports (such reports, collectively, the “Transparency Reports”). As more fully described in, and subject to, the Reporting Agent Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Reporting Agent has undertaken to compile the Transparency Reports and provide such reports to the Borrower (or its designee) so that it may be made available by the Borrower in accordance with the Transparency and Reporting Requirements; provided, that the

-82-

Borrower may make the Transparency Reports available via the website of the Collateral Administrator pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Administration Agreement which shall be accessible to any person who certifies to the Borrower and the Collateral Administrator (such certification to be in the form set out in the Collateral Administration Agreement) that it is a Relevant Recipient.

(iii) The Borrower may (with the consent of the Collateral Manager) appoint a Reporting Agent to prepare, compile or assist in the preparation of, the Transparency Reports and/or to make the Required Information available to any Relevant Recipients.

The Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall make the same available to Relevant Recipients to the extent required under the Transparency and Reporting Requirements.

(v) The obligations of the Borrower to fulfil the Transparency and Reporting Requirements contained in this Section 9(i) and Section 2(l)(ii) hereof shall be subject to the Required Information being either in the Borrower’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf).

(vi) The Borrower covenants in favor of the Administrative Agent and each Lender to use all commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the Transparency and Reporting Requirements during each Transparency Report Unavailability Period; provided, that nothing in this clause (vi) shall be construed as requiring the Borrower or the Collateral Manager to fulfil all of the requirements of Article 7 of the EU Securitization Regulation during a Transparency Report Unavailability Period.

SECTION 10. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

(a) Administrative Agent.

The Lenders hereby irrevocably appoint BNP Paribas, as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, and authorize the Administrative Agent to take such action, or exercise such powers and perform such duties, as are expressly delegated to it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and BNP Paribas hereby accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver copies of any notice, certificate, report or other documents received by it in its capacity as Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or therein, or any fiduciary relationship with the Lenders, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or otherwise exist against or in respect of the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties by or through its subsidiaries, affiliates, agents or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Neither the Administrative Agent (acting in such capacity) nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or any of them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents or any delegate under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (except for its, their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) responsible to any Person for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties of any Person (other than itself) contained in the Transaction Documents or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, the Transaction Documents, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection therewith or herewith, or for any failure of any Person (other than itself or its directors, officers, agents or employees) to perform its obligations under any Transaction Document, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in a Transaction Document (except to the extent any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements result solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such affected Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Person to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, the Transaction Documents, or to inspect the properties, books, records relating to services performed hereunder or other records of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator.

-84-

The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any communication (written or verbal) or any document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person(s) and upon advice of legal counsel (including any ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s counsel), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith in accordance with a request of a Lender, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any breach of this Agreement or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from the Collateral Manager, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodian, the Collateral Administrator, the Borrower or a Lender referring to this Agreement and describing such event. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such event as shall be reasonably directed in writing by a Lender; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such event as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

The Lenders expressly acknowledge that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodian, or the Collateral Administrator, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Securities Intermediary , the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator and the Assets, and made its own decision to extend Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under any of the Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator and the Assets. Except as expressly provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the Portfolio Assets or the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodian, the Collateral Administrator or any of the Lenders which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent.

-85-

In no event shall the Administrative Agent be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if the Administrative Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations, or the like which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower under the Transaction Documents) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent or the affected Person in connection with any investigative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such affected Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such affected Person as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such affected Person).

If the Administrative Agent resigns as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, then the Administrative Agent may appoint a successor agent (with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager, if such successor agent is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its acceptance of such appointment, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any party to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent may resign upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lenders (with a copy to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodian and the Collateral Administrator). Such resignation will become effective upon a successor administrative agent succeeding to the Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties; provided that if a successor Administrative Agent is not appointed within ten (10) days of the Administrative Agent giving notice of its resignation, the Administrative Agent may petition a court for its removal. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement in respect of the Administrative Agent shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodian, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Manager as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent.

-86-

(b) Erroneous Payment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement:

(i) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under this Section 10(b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Reference Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (b)(i) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (b)(i), each Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

-87-

(B) such Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10(b).

(iii) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Secured Obligations owed by the Borrower, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent or any applicable Affiliate from the Borrower or any Account for the purpose of making a payment on the Borrower Secured Obligations.

(iv) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(v) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10(b) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

(vi) The provisions of this Section 10(b) shall similarly apply to any Erroneous Payment made by the Custodian or the Securities Intermediary, mutatis mutandis.

(vii) For purposes of this Section 10(b), references to a “Secured Party” shall not include (i) U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association in any of its capacities, including as the Custodian or (ii) BNP Paribas in its capacity as the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 11. CALCULATION DISPUTE MECHANISM

If at any time the Collateral Manager disputes the Market Value ascribed to one or more Assets that was not determined by the Administrative Agent using a Pricing Source (each such Asset, a “Disputed Asset”), the Collateral Manager shall notify the Administrative Agent of such dispute at or before the Dispute Time. Upon receipt of such notification, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Manager shall consult with each other in an attempt to resolve such dispute in a timely and reasonable manner. If such consultation does not resolve the dispute within one (1) Business Day of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of notice of such dispute, the following mechanism (the “Calculation Dispute Mechanism”) shall apply:

-88-

(a) the Collateral Manager may seek an appraisal of such Asset from an a valuation agent reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and the value provided by such valuation agent shall be the Market Value for such Disputed Asset;

(b) the Collateral Manager and the Administrative Agent shall seek bid quotations from two or more Independent Dealers (each, an “Independent Bid”) for each Disputed Asset;

(c) For each Disputed Asset for which there are three or more Resolution Values at the Resolution Time, the Market Value shall be calculated as the average of the Resolution Values;

(d) for each Disputed Asset for which there are two Resolution Values at the Resolution Time, the Market Value shall be calculated as the average of the Resolution Values; and

(e) for each Disputed Asset for which there is one or no Resolution Value at the Resolution Time, the Market Value shall be the Administrative Agent’s original valuation.

SECTION 12. ASSIGNMENT OF COLLATERAL MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

The Borrower and the Collateral Manager hereby agree and consent:

(a) to the assignment of the Collateral Management Agreement by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and performance by the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf of any provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents expressly applicable to the Collateral Manager herein or therein, subject to the terms of the Collateral Management Agreement;

(b) that the assignment by the Borrower of all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral Management Agreement to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and, all of the representations, covenants and agreements made by the Collateral Manager in the Collateral Management Agreement are also for the benefit of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties;

(c) to deliver to the Administrative Agent copies of all notices, statements, communications and instruments delivered or required to be delivered to the Borrower pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement; and

(d) to the Administrative Agent being empowered to enforce the Collateral Management Agreement on behalf of the Borrower and/or the Secured Parties as if the Administrative Agent were directly a party to the Collateral Management Agreement and the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties (and the Secured Parties to the extent any thereof is indemnified by the Collateral Manager thereunder) constituting express third party beneficiaries of the Collateral Management Agreement.

-89-

SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Amendments. Subject to Section 9(g) and (h), no amendment of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Transaction Document shall be effective unless such amendment shall be in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of each party hereto (with a copy to the Custodian and the Collateral Administrator). No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Transaction Document and no consent by the Administrative Agent to any departure therefrom by the Borrower shall be effective unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Administrative Agent and any such waiver or consent shall then be effective only for the period and on the conditions and for the specific instance specified in such writing.

(c) Successors; Assignment.

(i) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly permitted hereunder, none of the Borrower, the Equity Investors or the Collateral Manager may assign their rights or obligations hereunder. Each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at any time in consultation with the Borrower (A) assign all or any part of its rights and obligations hereunder (including, in the case of a Lender, all or a portion of its Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount and the Loans at the time owing to it) to any other Person and (B) grant to any other Person participating interests in all or part of its rights and obligations hereunder; provided that (1) such granting 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, (3) such Lender shall remain the holder of any related promissory note for all purposes of this Agreement, (4) the Borrower and the Collateral Manager shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (5) no participant shall have any right to approve any amendment, supplement, restatement, other modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager therefrom and (6) any participant must be bound by Section 13(n). The Borrower and each Equity Investor agree to execute any documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with any such assignment effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, that no such documents may contain terms that adversely affect the rights or interests of the Borrower, Collateral Manager or any Equity Investor. With respect to an assignment by a Lender, such Lender and its assignee shall execute an Assignment and Assumption. All information provided by or on behalf of any party to a Lender or its Affiliates may be furnished by such Lender to its Affiliates and to any actual or proposed assignee or participant. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank. The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13(p) and Section 2(k) (subject to the requirements and limitations therein (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2(k) 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 this Section 13(c)(i); provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2(k)(iv) as if it were an assignee under this Section 13(c)(i); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 13(p) or 2(k), 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.

-91-

(ii) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any assignee of an interest in a promissory note evidencing the Loans), and the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(iii) Each Lender that sells a participating interest in all or part of its rights and obligations hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any participating interest in any rights under any promissory note evidencing the Loans) shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (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 Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts, Loans, or other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount, Loan, 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.

(d) Fees and Expenses. The Borrower shall promptly and upon demand, from funds on deposit in the Accounts that are available therefor in accordance with this Agreement, pay (i) to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses and legal fees, including any reasonable and documented costs associated with any audit of the Borrower requested by any Lender, incurred by such party or its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and ongoing administration of the loan facility established under this Agreement, or any instruments or agreements executed in connection herewith or therewith, (ii) any annual governmental fees of the Borrower, (iii) the fees and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) of the Custodian under this Agreement or the Collateral Administration Agreement, the Securities Intermediary under the Account Control Agreement and the Collateral Administrator and the Custodian under the Collateral Administration Agreement and (iv) any other expenses of the Borrower that the Collateral Manager has approved. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall “Permitted RIC Distributions” constitute “expenses” of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent agrees to advise the Collateral

-92-

Manager periodically of expenses incurred as of when invoices are submitted to the Administrative Agent; (ii) the Borrower shall not be responsible for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with documenting the Transaction Documents that exceed, in the aggregate, U.S.$25,000, or if incurred prior to the occurrence of a Default, without the Administrative Agent obtaining the Borrower’s prior written consent; and (iv) all of the costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to this Section 13(d) shall be directly related to the Transaction Documents.

(e) Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Manager, the Equity Investors, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator, their respective Affiliates, and their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (collectively the “Indemnitees”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any outside counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower, any Equity Investor, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Manager (as applicable) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or contribution by the Equity Investors or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by a party hereto, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party shall assert, and all parties hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee and the Borrower, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or contribution by the Equity Investors or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations hereunder to the extent such damages are included in a third party claim in connection with which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except for any damages due to such use as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other obligations and liabilities of the parties under the Transaction Documents. All amounts due under this subsection shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor to the extent that funds in the Accounts are available for such payment in accordance with this Agreement. This Section 13(e) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

-93-

(f) Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, each party on behalf of itself and its Affiliates agrees for the benefit of the Secured Parties that any obligations of the Borrower to pay any amounts to such party shall be subordinate and junior to the obligations of the Borrower to pay amounts then due and payable to the Secured Parties hereunder, and on and after the Maturity Date, all amounts owing to the Secured Parties hereunder shall be paid in full in cash or, to the extent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders consent, other than in cash before any payment or distribution is made to any other party.

(g) Limited Recourse; Non-Petition; Recourse. The Collateral Manager, each Equity Investor, the Administrative Agent and the Lender acknowledge that the Borrower is a special purpose entity and that none of the directors, officers, incorporators, shareholders, members, managers, partners, agents or employees (collectively, the “Relevant Agents”) of the Borrower (including, without limitation, the Equity Investors and any Affiliate thereof) shall be personally liable for any of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the Collateral Manager is not a Relevant Agent of the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the CLO Takeout does not occur, the Borrower’s sole source of funds for payment of all amounts due hereunder shall be the Collateral and the Borrower’s obligations shall be limited to the Collateral available at such time and the proceeds thereof, and, upon application of the proceeds of the Collateral and its reduction to zero in accordance with the terms and under the circumstances described herein, all obligations of and all remaining claims against the Borrower under this Agreement, any promissory note or under any other Transaction Document shall extinguish and shall not thereafter revive.

Each party (other than the Borrower) agrees not to cause the filing of a petition for the winding up of the Borrower for the non-payment of any amounts provided in this Agreement until at least one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) plus one day, after the payment in full of amounts owing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder and, if the CLO Takeout shall have occurred, under any CLO Securities.

Except as expressly provided herein, there shall be no recourse for the payment of any amount owing by the Borrower hereunder against any other party hereto or any officer, director, employee, shareholder, incorporator or other Affiliate of such Person or any entity controlling such Person.

The terms of this Section 13(g) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(h) Adequacy of Monetary Damages Against the Lenders. Each of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and each Equity Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) any and all claims, damages and demands against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders arising out of, or in connection with, the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders’ rights or remedies pursuant to this Agreement can be sufficiently and adequately remedied by monetary damages, (ii) no irreparable injury will be caused to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or any Equity Investor as a result of, or in

-94-

connection with, any such claims, damages or demands, and (iii) no equitable or injunctive relief shall be sought by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or any Equity Investor as a result of, or in connection with, any such claims, damages or demands; provided that this Section 13(h) shall not constitute a waiver of any rights of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or any Equity Investor to seek injunctive relief to enforce its rights under Section 13(h).

(i) Validity; Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (i) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(j) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by electronic mail), and each counterpart, when so executed, shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Any signature (including, without limitation, any electronic signature (including any symbol or process attached to, or associated with, a contract or other record and adopted by a Person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record)) hereto or to any other certificate, agreement or document related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any contract formation or record-keeping, in each case, through electronic means, including, without limitation, through e-mail or portable document format, shall have the same legal validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; provided, that no electronic signatures may be affixed through the use of a third-party service provider without the consent of the parties hereto . For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing also applies to any amendment, supplement, restatement, extension or renewal of this Agreement. Each party hereto represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that (i) it has the corporate or other applicable entity capacity and authority to execute this Agreement (and any other documents to be delivered in connection therewith) through electronic means, (ii) any electronic signatures of such party appearing on this Agreement (or such other documents) shall be treated in the same way as handwritten signatures for the purposes of validity, enforceability and admissibility of this Agreement (or any such other document) and (iii) the execution of this Agreement (or any such other document) by such party through such electronic means is not restricted by, and does not contravene, such party’s constitutive documents or applicable law.

“Assigned ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Rating” means the monitored publicly available rating, the private rating (so long as such private rating has been issued or provided by Moody’s within the previous 12 months) or the credit estimate (so long as such credit estimate has been issued or provided by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ within the previous 12 months) expressly assigned to a debt obligation (or facility) by Moody’s; provided that in the case of an application for an initial private rating or credit estimate, pending receipt of such initial private rating or credit estimate, as applicable, such Portfolio Asset shall have an Assigned ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Rating equal to the “B3”; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) applies for a new private rating or credit estimate, or renewal of a private rating or credit estimate, in a timely manner for receipt of such new or renewed private rating or credit estimate not later than 12 months following the issuance or renewal of the prior private rating or credit estimate and provides the information required to obtain such private rating or credit estimate, the Borrower will continue using the previous private rating or credit estimate, as applicable, until such time as ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ renews such private rating or credit estimate or assigns a new private rating or credit estimate for such debt obligation; provided however that, in the case of a credit estimate assigned to a debt obligation by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ more than 12 months following the issuance or renewal of the prior private rating or credit estimate (without an application for a new private rating or credit estimate, or renewal of a private rating or credit estimate, in a timely manner), the Assigned ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Rating of such obligation shall be “Caa2” until such time as ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ renews such private rating or credit estimate or assigns a new private rating or credit estimate for such debt obligation.

“CFR” means with respect to an issuer or obligor of a Portfolio Asset, (a) if such issuer or obligor has a corporate family rating by Moody’s, then such corporate family rating, or (b) if such issuer or obligor does not have a corporate family rating by Moody’s but any entity in the corporate family of such issuer or obligor does have a corporate family rating, then such corporate family rating.

“▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Derived Rating” means, with respect to a Portfolio Asset whose ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Rating or ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Default Probability Rating cannot otherwise be determined pursuant to the definitions thereof, such ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Rating or ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Default Probability Rating as determined in the manner set forth below:

(i) By using any one of the methods provided below:

(A) if such Portfolio Asset has a public and monitored rating by S&P, pursuant to the table below:

(B) if such Portfolio Asset is not rated by S&P but another security or obligation of the obligor has a public and monitored rating by S&P (a “parallel security”), then the rating of such parallel security will at the election of the Collateral Manager be determined in accordance with the table set forth in subclause (i)(A) above, and the ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Rating or ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Default Probability Rating of such Portfolio Asset will be determined in accordance with the methodology set forth in the table below (for such purposes treating the parallel security as if it were rated by Moody’s at the rating determined pursuant to this subclause (i)(B)):

Sch. E-1-2

and

(ii) If not determined pursuant to clause (i) above, then “Caa3”.

“Effective Spread” means, with respect to any floating rate Asset, the current per annum rate at which it pays interest minus the Benchmark or, if such floating rate Asset bears interest based on a floating rate index other than a Term SOFR offered rate-based index, the Effective Spread will be the then-current base rate applicable to such floating rate Asset plus the rate at which such floating rate Asset pays interest in excess of such base rate minus the Benchmark; provided, that the Effective Spread of any floating rate Asset will (i) be deemed to be zero, to the extent that the Borrower or the Collateral Manager has actual knowledge that no payment of cash interest on such floating rate Asset will be made by the obligor thereof during the applicable due period, and (ii) not include any non-cash interest.

“First-Lien Last-Out Loan”: Any assignment of or other interest in an Asset that would satisfy the requirements of a Senior Secured Loan except for such Asset being able, by its terms to become fully subordinate in right of payment to any other obligation of the obligor of the Asset with respect to liquidation and is not entitled to any payments until such other obligation is paid in full.

“Minimum Floating Spread” means 4.0%.

“Minimum Floating Spread Test” means a test that is satisfied on any date of determination if the Weighted Average Floating Spread equals or exceeds the Minimum Floating Spread.

“Weighted Average Floating Spread” means, as of any Measurement Date, a fraction (expressed as a percentage) obtained by (i)(x) multiplying the Principal Balance of each floating rate Portfolio Asset (excluding the unfunded portion of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation) held by the Borrower as of such Measurement Date by its Effective Spread and (y) multiplying the unfunded portion of each Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation held by the Borrower as of such Measurement Date by the related commitment fee, (ii) summing the amounts determined pursuant to clause (i), and (iii) dividing the sum determined pursuant to clause (ii) by the aggregate Principal Balance of all floating rate Portfolio Assets; provided that Defaulted Obligations shall not be included in the calculation of the Weighted Average Floating Spread.

“Weighted Average Life” means, on any Measurement Date with respect to any Portfolio Asset (other than any Defaulted Obligation), the number obtained by (i) summing the products obtained by multiplying (a) the Average Life at such time of each such Portfolio Asset by (b) the outstanding Principal Balance of such Portfolio Asset and (ii) dividing such sum by the aggregate Principal Balance at such time of all Portfolio Assets (excluding any Defaulted Obligation).

“Weighted Average Life Test” means a test that will be satisfied on any date of determination if the Weighted Average Life of the Portfolio Assets as of such date is less than or equal to (i) 8.0 less (ii) the number of full quarters elapsed since the date of the Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, quarter shall mean 0.25 of a year) multiplied by 0.25.
