Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification

The interest rate on an Advance may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administrator (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Advances. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, Section 3.01(h) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company, pursuant to Section 3.01(h)(iv), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Advances is based (it being understood that any such change shall be subject to the consent of the Company to the extent set forth in this Agreement). However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (1) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 3.01(h)(ii), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (2) the implementation of any Benchmark Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 3.01(h)(iii), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

THE PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS

SECTION 1.01. Purchases of Portfolio Investments. On the Original Effective Date, the Company acquired the Initial Portfolio Investments and Initial Participation Interests from the Seller pursuant to the Sale Agreement, subject to the conditions specified in this Agreement.

SECTION 1.02. Procedures for Purchases and Related Advances.

(a) Timing of Notices of Acquisition. No later than five (5) Agent Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) before the date on which the Company proposes that a binding commitment to acquire any Portfolio Investment (other than an Initial Portfolio Investment or an Initial Participation Interest) be made by it or for its account (a “Purchase Commitment”), the Portfolio Manager, on behalf of the Company, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice of acquisition (a “Notice of Acquisition”).

(b) Contents of Notices of Acquisition.

Prior to the occurrence of a Market Value Event or Event of Default, any direction required hereunder relating to the acquisition, sale, disposition or other transfer of a Portfolio Investment may be in the form of a trade ticket, confirmation of trade, instruction to post or to commit to the trade or similar instrument or document or other written instruction (including by email or other electronic communication or file transfer protocol) from the Company (or the Portfolio Manager on its behalf) on which, subject to Sections 9.01 and 9.02, the Collateral Agent may rely.

The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may waive any conditions to a Purchase Commitment, a Purchase, Substitution or an Advance, as the case may be, specified above in this Section 1.03 by written notice thereof to the Company, the Collateral Administrator, the Portfolio Manager and the Collateral Agent.

If the above conditions to a Purchase Commitment, a Purchase, a Substitution or an Advance are satisfied or waived, the Portfolio Manager shall determine the date on which such Purchase (if any) shall settle (the “Settlement Date” for such Portfolio Investment) and/or, in consultation with the Administrative Agent and with notice to the Lenders and the Collateral Administrator, on which any related Advance or other Advance shall be provided.

With respect to a Purchase, promptly following the Settlement Date for a Portfolio Investment and its receipt thereof, the Portfolio Manager shall provide or cause to be provided to the Administrative Agent a copy of the executed assignment agreement or executed credit agreement evidencing the Company’s purchase (or, in the case of a Portfolio Investment that is not a Loan, the executed purchase agreement or similar instrument) pursuant to which such Portfolio Investment was assigned, sold or otherwise transferred to the Company.

SECTION 1.04. Sales of Portfolio Investments. The Company will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Portfolio Investment or any other asset without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), except that, subject to Section 6.02(w), the Company may sell any Portfolio Investment (including any Ineligible Investment) or other asset without the consent of the Administrative Agent so long as, (x) after giving effect thereto, no Market Value Event has occurred, no Default that would constitute an Event of Default under clause (a) or (d) of the definition thereof has occurred and is continuing and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) the sale of such asset by the Company shall be on an arm’s-length basis at fair market value and in accordance with the Portfolio Manager’s standard market practices.

- 31 -

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to this Section 1.04): (i) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, neither the Company nor the Portfolio Manager on its behalf shall have any right to cause the sale, transfer or other disposition of a Portfolio Investment or any other asset (including, without limitation, the transfer of amounts on deposit in the Collateral Accounts) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), (ii) following the occurrence of a Market Value Event, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell Portfolio Investments (individually or in lots, including a lot comprised of all of the Portfolio Investments) at the sole direction of, and in the manner (including, without limitation, the time of sale, sale price, principal amount to be sold and purchaser) required by the Administrative Agent (provided that the Administrative Agent shall only require sales at the direction of the Required Lenders and at least equal to the then-current fair market value and in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s standard market practices) and the proceeds from such sales shall be used to prepay the Advances outstanding hereunder and (iii) following the occurrence of a Market Value Event, the Portfolio Manager shall have no right to act on behalf of, or otherwise direct, the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Person in connection with a sale of Portfolio Investments pursuant to any provision of this Agreement except with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (including via email). Following the occurrence of a Market Value Event and in connection with the sale of any Portfolio Investment by or at the direction of the Administrative Agent, the Portfolio Manager shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in writing (including via email) to facilitate the consummation of such sale including, without limitation and if so requested, using commercially reasonable efforts to cause any of its Affiliates acting as administrative agent with respect to such Portfolio Investment to execute and deliver an assignment agreement in respect of such Portfolio Investment naming the Administrative Agent or such other Person designated by it as assignee.

Any prepayments made pursuant to this paragraph shall automatically reduce the Financing Commitments as provided in Section 4.07(c).

In connection with any sale of Portfolio Investments required by the Administrative Agent following the occurrence of a Market Value Event, the Administrative Agent or a designee of the Administrative Agent shall:

(i) notify the Company and the Portfolio Manager promptly upon distribution of bid solicitations regarding the sale of such Portfolio Investments; and

(ii) direct the Company to sell such Portfolio Investments (x) for an amount at least equal to the then-current fair market value and (y) if the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer provides the highest bid, to the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer; it being understood that if the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer provides a bid to the Administrative Agent that is the highest bona fide bid to Purchase a Portfolio Investment on a line-item basis, then the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) may accept any such line-item bid only if such line-item bid (together with any other line-item bids by the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer and proposed to be accepted by the Administrative Agent for other Portfolio Investments in such pool) is greater than any bid on a pool basis.

For purposes of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to disregard as invalid any bid submitted by the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer if, in the Administrative Agent’s judgment (acting reasonably):

(A) either:

- 32 -

(x) the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer is ineligible, unable or otherwise refuses or fails to accept assignment or transfer of the relevant Portfolio Investments or any portion thereof, as applicable, substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for the relevant Portfolio Investments; or

(y) the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer would not, through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts, be able to obtain any consent required under any agreement or instrument governing or otherwise relating to the relevant Portfolio Investments to the assignment or transfer of the relevant Portfolio Investments or any portion thereof, as applicable, to it; or

(B) such bid is not bona fide by reason of the insolvency of the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer.

In connection with any sale of a Portfolio Investment directed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 1.04 and the application of the net proceeds thereof, the Company hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as the Company’s attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of the Company by this appointment), with full authority in the place and stead of the Company and in the name of the Company to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.04 (including, without limitation, the power to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 1.04 or any direction or notice to the Collateral Agent in respect of the application of net proceeds of any such sales). None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Agent or any Affiliate of any thereof shall incur any liability to the Company, the Portfolio Manager or any other Person in connection with any sale effected at the direction of the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 1.04, including, without limitation, as a result of the price obtained for any Portfolio Investment, the timing of any sale or sales of Portfolio Investments or the notice or lack of notice provided to any Person in connection with any such sale, so long as, in the case of the Administrative Agent only, any such sale does not violate Applicable Law. In connection with the sale of any or all Portfolio Investment(s) directed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 1.04, if (w) the Administrative Agent has not yet entered into an agreement or agreements to sell Portfolio Investments in an amount sufficient to satisfy the Secured Obligations, (x) JPMCB (or any of its Affiliates) has not yet assigned its Financing Commitments pursuant to Section 10.06 herein, (y) the Company submitted a MV Cure Plan during the related Market Value Cure Period and (z) the Company diligently pursued a Market Value Cure, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, then the Administrative Agent, in its commercially reasonable discretion, will in good faith, subject to the other terms of this Section 1.04, consider (but shall be under no obligation to accept) any cash purchase bid or bids submitted by the Portfolio Manager or the Company via an Independent Broker Dealer (and actually received by the Administrative Agent from such Independent Broker Dealer) during the period of three (3) Business Days following the occurrence of the related Market Value Event, if the aggregate amount of such bids is sufficient to repay the Secured Obligations in full on or before the proposed settlement date of any other bid or bids received by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 1.05. Certain Assumptions relating to Portfolio Investments. For purposes of all calculations hereunder, other than if specified to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, any Portfolio Investment for which the trade date in respect of a sale thereof by the Company has occurred, but the settlement date for such sale has not occurred, shall be considered to be owned by the Company until such settlement date.

Each contribution shall either be made (a) in cash, (b) by assignment and contribution of Cash Equivalents and/or (c) by assignment and contribution of a Portfolio Investment.

SECTION 1.08. Substitutions; Limitation on Sales and Substitutions. The Company may replace a Portfolio Investment with another Portfolio Investment (each such replacement, a “Substitution” and such new Portfolio Investment, a “Substitute Portfolio Investment”) so long as the Company has submitted a Notice of Acquisition and all other conditions precedent set forth in Section 1.03(1), (3), (4)(w) and (4)(x) have been satisfied with respect to each Substitute Portfolio Investment to be acquired by the Company in connection with such Substitution. In no event shall the aggregate outstanding balance of Portfolio Investments in the Portfolio subject to a Substitution, together with the aggregate outstanding balance of Portfolio Investments sold to the Seller by the Company pursuant to Section 1.04 of this Agreement, exceed 20% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance measured as of the date of such sale.

ARTICLE III

ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE ADVANCES

SECTION 3.01. The Advances.

(a) Making the Advances. If the Lenders are required to make an Advance to the Company as provided in Section 2.03, then each Lender shall make such Advance by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer in the applicable Currency of immediately available funds to the Collateral Agent for deposit to the Principal Collection Account, or, if such Advances are denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency, the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency Principal Collection Account. Each Lender at its option may make any Advance by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advance; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Company to repay such Advance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may borrow and prepay Advances. During the Reinvestment Period, the Company may prepay and reborrow any or all of the Revolving Amount. After the Reinvestment Period, once drawn, Advances may not be reborrowed.

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

- 38 -

(c) Evidence of the Advances. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Company to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal, Currency, and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a register (the “Register”) in which it shall record from time to time (1) the names, addresses and Commitment amounts of the Lenders, (2) the amount and Currency of each Advance made hereunder, (3) the amount and Currency of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Lender hereunder and (4) the amount and Currency of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. The entries made in the Register maintained pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Company, 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; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such Register or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its receipt of a duly completed assignment and assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall accept such assignment and assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In the event of a conflict between the accounts maintained by the Lenders and the entries in the Register, the entries in the Register shall govern.

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

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

(e) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company that the adoption of any law, rule or regulation, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for a Lender or the Administrative Agent to perform its obligations hereunder to fund or maintain Advances in a specific Currency hereunder, then (1) the obligation of such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder to fund or maintain Advances in such Currency shall immediately be suspended until such time as such Lender or the Administrative Agent determines (in its sole discretion) that such performance is again lawful, (2) at the request of the Company, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, other than immaterial, incidental expenses), until such time as the Advances in such Currency are required to be prepaid as required under clause (3) below, to transfer all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates with respect to which such performance would not be unlawful, and (3) if such Lender or the Administrative Agent is unable to effect a transfer under clause (2), then, (I) any outstanding Advances in such Currency of such Lender shall be promptly paid in full by the Company (together with all accrued interest and other amounts owing hereunder) but not later than the earlier of (x) if the Company requests such Lender or the Administrative Agent to take the actions set forth in clause (2) above, 20 calendar days after the date on which such Lender or the Administrative Agent notifies the Company in writing that it is unable to transfer its rights and obligations with respect to Advances in such Currency under this Agreement as

- 39 -

specified in such clause (2) and (y) such date as shall be mandated by law or (II) if requested by the Portfolio Manager or the Company, any outstanding Advances in such Currency shall be converted to an Advance denominated in USD on the date specified by the Administrative Agent at the Spot Rate and shall become denominated and payable in USD and thereafter shall bear interest at the rates applicable to Advances denominated in USD and the Company shall pay all amounts owing in connection therewith, including all interest accrued on the Advances being converted through such date; provided that, to the extent that any such adoption or change makes it unlawful for the Advances in such Currency to bear interest by reference to the LIBO Rate, then the foregoing clauses (1) through (3) shall not apply and the Advances shall bear interest (from and after the last day of the Calculation Period ending immediately after such adoption or change) at a per annum rate equal to the applicable Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule.

(f) Increased Costs.

(i) If any Change in Law shall:

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

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

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

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

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

- 40 -

(iii) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate, and the basis for such compensation of, such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 20 days after receipt thereof.

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

(v) Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agrees that it will take such commercially reasonable actions as the Company may reasonably request that will avoid the need to pay, or reduce the amount of, any increased amounts referred to in this Section 3.01(f); provided that no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to take any actions that would, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, subject such Lender or the Administrative Agent to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, due to a loss of money). In no event will the Company be responsible for increased amounts referred to in this Section 3.01(f) which relates to any other entities to which any Lender provides financing.

(vi) If any Lender (A) provides notice of unlawfulness or requests compensation under clause (e) above or this clause (f) or (B) is a Defaulting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (i) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related transaction documents to an assignee identified by the Company that shall assume such obligations (whereupon such Lender shall be obligated to so assign) or (ii) paydown/terminate such Lender on a non-pro rata basis if the Borrowing Base Test is satisfied, provided that, (x) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder through the date of such assignment, (y) a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply and (z) such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter. No prepayment fee that may otherwise be due hereunder shall be payable to such Lender in connection with any such assignment.

(g) No Set-off or Counterclaim. Subject to Section 3.03, all payments to be made hereunder by the Company in respect of the Advances shall be made without set-off or counterclaim.

(h) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair.

- 41 -

(i) In the event that (A) the Administrative Agent determines (in its commercially reasonable credit judgment) that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the LIBO Rate then being determined is to be fixed (including because the Reuters Screen is not available or published on a current basis); provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time or (B) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the LIBO Rate for such Calculation Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Advances (or its Advance) for such Calculation Period (determined in their commercially reasonable credit judgment), the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Company and the Lenders, whereupon the obligations of the Lenders to make any Advance that accrues interest based on the LIBO Rate shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company that the Required Lenders have determined (in their commercially reasonable credit judgment) that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Furthermore, if any Advance is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 3.01(h)(i), then on the last day of the Calculation Period (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Advance shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin as of such day.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Company, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders; provided that with respect to any proposed amendment containing any SOFR-Based Rate, the Lenders shall be entitled to object only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(iii) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Company, will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement other than the Administrative Agent and the Company.

(iv) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Without limiting any consent rights of the Company under this Agreement, any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 3.01(h), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.01(h).

- 42 -

(v) Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, any Request for Advance shall be ineffective and (y) the obligations of the Lenders to make Advances shall be ineffective. Furthermore, if any Advance is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the LIBO Rate, then on the last day of the Calculation Period applicable to such Advance (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Advance shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin as of such day.

(j) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent the Loans are not held pro rata by the Lenders, purchase at par that portion of Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Financing Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 3.02. [Reserved].

SECTION 3.03. Taxes.

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

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

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

- 43 -

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

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

(f) Status of Secured Parties. (i) Any Secured Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.03(f) (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

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

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any applicable successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3, 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 substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 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 Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) Each Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

- 45 -

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

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

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

SECTION 8.02. Collateral Security; Pledge; Delivery.(a) Grant of Security Interest. As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all the Company’s obligations to the Agents, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator and the Lenders (collectively, the “Secured Parties”) under this Agreement (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”), the Company has granted on the Closing Date, and hereby confirms the grant and pledges again to the Collateral Agent and grants a continuing security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in, to and under (in each case, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising) all accounts, payment intangibles, general intangibles, chattel paper, electronic chattel paper, instruments, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, investment property, and any and all other property of any type or nature owned by it (all of the property described in this clause (a) being collectively referred to herein as “Collateral”), including, without limitation: (1) each Portfolio Investment, (2) all of the Company’s interests in the Collateral Accounts and, in each case, all investments, obligations and other property from time to time credited thereto, (3) the Sale Agreement, any other Loan Document and all rights related to each such agreement, (4) all other property of the Company and (5) all proceeds thereof, all accessions to and substitutions and replacements for, any of the foregoing, and all rents, profits and products of any thereof.

In furtherance of the collateral arrangements contemplated herein, the Company shall (1) Deliver to the Collateral Agent the Collateral hereunder as and when acquired by the Company; (2) if any of the securities, monies or other property pledged by the Company hereunder are received by the Company, forthwith take such action as is necessary to ensure the Collateral Agent’s continuing perfected security interest in such Collateral (including Delivering such securities, monies or other property to the Collateral Agent); and (3) upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, which shall be limited to one time per calendar year, deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Collateral Agent, at the expense of the Company, legal opinions from Company’s counsel or other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as to the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in any of the Collateral.

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

(i) Exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s or its designee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent or a

- 68 -

designee of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may deem commercially reasonable. The Company agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) calendar days’ prior notice to the Company of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent or its designee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned;

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

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

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

- 69 -

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

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

(h) Release of Security Interest upon Disposition of Collateral. Upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral (or portion thereof) that is permitted hereunder, the security interest granted hereunder in such Loan or other Collateral (or the portion thereof which has been sold or otherwise disposed of) shall, immediately upon the sale or other disposition of such Loan or other Collateral (or such portion) and without any further action on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, be released.

ARTICLE IX

THE AGENTS

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

- 70 -

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

None of the Agents, Securities Intermediary nor the Collateral Administrator shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) none of the Agents, Securities Intermediary nor the Collateral Administrator shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) none of the Agents, Securities Intermediary nor the Collateral Administrator shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except that the foregoing shall not limit any duty expressly set forth in this Agreement to include such rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by (i) in the case of the Collateral Agent (A) in respect of the exercise of remedies under Section 8.02(c), the Required Lenders, or (B) in all other cases, the Administrative Agent or (ii) in the case of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided herein), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, none of the Agents, the Securities Intermediary nor the Collateral Administrator shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company that is communicated to or obtained by the financial institution serving in the capacity of such Agent (except insofar as provided to it as Agent hereunder) or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. None of the Agents, the Securities Intermediary nor the Collateral Administrator shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or with the consent or at the request or direction of (i) the Company (or the Portfolio Manager on its behalf) in the manner and to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement or other Loan Document or (ii) the Administrative Agent (in the case of the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Agent only) or the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders that shall be permitted herein to direct such action or forbearance). None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default, Event of Default, Market Value Event or failure of the Borrowing Base Test unless and until a Responsible Officer has received written notice thereof from the Company, a Lender or the Administrative Agent (and following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the curing or waiver of any such Event of Default until it receives written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent). None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, value or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other agreement, instrument or document or the Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth herein, other than in the case of the Administrative Agent to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent shall be required to risk or expend its own funds in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder if it reasonably believes it will not receive reimbursement therefor hereunder. Without limitation to the immediately preceding sentence, none of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary nor the Administrative Agent shall be required to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document if taking such action would require such person to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified.

- 71 -

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, direction, opinion, document, electronic communication or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Securities Intermediary also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.

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

It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Collateral Administrator nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for, and shall not be under any duty to monitor or determine, compliance with the Eligibility Criteria or the Concentration Limitations in any instance, to determine if the conditions of “Deliver” have been satisfied or otherwise to monitor or determine compliance by any other Person with the requirements of this Agreement.

Each of the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary and each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents, sub-custodians or bailees appointed by it. None of the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or any Agent shall be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any sub-agent, sub-custodian, bailee or attorney appointed by such Person with due care. Each of the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of such Person and its Affiliates (the “Related Parties”) for such Person. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent, sub-custodian or bailee and to the Related Parties of the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary and each Agent and any such sub-agent, sub-custodian or bailee and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (or such other Person), as the case may be.

Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor; provided that, so long as no Event of Default or Market Value Event has occurred, any such appointment of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Collateral Administrator, Collateral Agent,

- 72 -

Securities Intermediary or Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice of its resignation, then the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution; provided that, so long as no Event of Default or Market Value Event has occurred, any such appointment of the Collateral Administrator, Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Administrative Agent and shall have accepted such appointment within sixty (60) days after the retiring Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary gives notice of its resignation, such Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor.

Upon any such removal, the Company shall have the right (with the written consent of the Administrative Agent) to appoint a successor to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and/or the Securities Intermediary, as applicable. If no successor to any such Person shall have been so appointed by the Company and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after such notice of removal, then the Administrative Agent may appoint a successor which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution; provided that, so long as no Event of Default or Market Value Event has occurred, such appointment shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.

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

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

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

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

Each Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, consent, order, approval, bond, electronic communication or other document or have any responsibility for filing or recording any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder.

- 74 -

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

None of the Agents, the Collateral Administrator not the Securities Intermediary shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts include but are not limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, epidemics, riots and acts of war. In connection with any payment, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator are entitled to rely conclusively on any instructions provided to them by the Administrative Agent.

Before the Collateral Agent or Collateral Administrator acts or refrains from acting, it may require, and may conclusively rely on, a certificate (which may be constituted by written directions provided in accordance with this Agreement) of an officer of the Company, the Portfolio Manager or Administrative Agent. The Collateral Agent or Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate.

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

In order to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (“Applicable Bank Law”), the entity serving as Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Administrator is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with such entity.

The Collateral Agent shall from time to time take such action (at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein or any other exercise of rights, remedies or discretionary actions hereunder and the Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Agent in writing to take any action incidental thereto; provided that in each case the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to take any such action in the absence of such direction and shall have no obligation to comply with any such direction if it reasonably believes that the same (1) is contrary to Applicable Law or (2) is reasonably likely to subject the Collateral Agent to any loss, liability, cost or expense, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, issuing such instruction provides indemnification or otherwise makes provision reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent for payment of same. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent or any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with such direction hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon the written direction of the Administrative Agent.

If, in performing any duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator are required to decide between alternative courses of action due to any ambiguity in the interpretation of any definition or term contained in this Agreement or to the extent more than one methodology can be used to make any of the determinations or calculations set forth there, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator shall request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it (including the interpretation and/or methodology to be used) and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken prior to receipt of such instruction. If the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator (as applicable) does not receive such instructions within five (5) Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator (as applicable) may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action; provided that following the request of written instructions the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator (as applicable) shall not follow a direction of the Company or the Portfolio Manager which contradicts an alternative course of action without prior direction of the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator (as applicable)shall act in accordance with instructions received after such five (5) Business Day period except to the extent it has already, in good faith, taken or committed itself to take action inconsistent with such instructions. The Collateral Agent and/or the Collateral Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the advice of legal counsel and independent accountants in performing its duties hereunder and shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if it acts in accordance with such advice.

(b) Custody and Preservation. The Collateral Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided that the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care with respect to the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as the Company reasonably requests at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but failure of the Collateral Agent to comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent will not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any liens thereon.

- 76 -

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

(d) Certain Rights and Obligations of the Collateral Agent. Without further consent or authorization from any Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have released, and is authorized to execute any documents or instruments necessary to release, any lien encumbering any item of Collateral upon its sale or other disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or as otherwise permitted or required hereunder or to which the Required Lenders have otherwise consented. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, any Agent or Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender in its individual capacity unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the purchaser at such sale.

(e) Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary and Collateral Administrator Fees and Expenses. The Company agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator such fees as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator and the Portfolio Manager, may agree in writing, subject to the Priority of Payments. The Company further agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator, or reimburse the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator for paying, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including attorney’s fees in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, subject to the Priority of Payments and in the case of the Securities Intermediary, expenses incurred by any sub agent, sub custodian or bailee of the Securities Intermediary.

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

(g) Reports by the Collateral Administrator. The Company hereby appoints U.S. Bank National Association as Collateral Administrator and directs the Collateral Administrator to prepare the reports substantially in the form reasonably agreed by the Company, the Collateral Administrator and the Administrative Agent. Without limitation to the foregoing, upon the written request (including via email) of the Administrative Agent, which may be in the form of a standing request, the Collateral Administrator shall provide to the Administrative Agent a copy of the most recent notice memo, distribution report or similar notice or report received by it in respect of any Portfolio Investment(s) identified by the Administrative Agent as soon as reasonably practicable after such request is made by the Administrative Agent (or, if such request is a standing request, as soon as reasonably practicable after such notice or report is received); provided that failure by the Collateral Agent to provide such copies shall not affect any of the rights of the Company or the Portfolio Manager under this Agreement or the

The Collateral Administrator shall deliver a draft of each such report to the Portfolio Manager and the Portfolio Manager shall review, verify and approve the contents of the aforesaid reports. To the extent any of the information in such reports conflicts with data or calculations in the records of the Portfolio Manager, the Portfolio Manager shall notify the Collateral Administrator of such discrepancy and use reasonable efforts to assist the Collateral Administrator in reconciling such discrepancy. Upon reasonable request by the Collateral Administrator, the Portfolio Manager further agrees to provide to the Collateral Administrator from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on a timely basis, any information relating to the Portfolio Investments and any proposed purchases, sales or other dispositions thereof as to enable the Collateral Administrator to perform its duties hereunder.

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

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.
