of Request for Advances or prepayment or conversion notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides, in consultation with the Company, in its reasonable discretion may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark and to permit the 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 such Benchmark exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides, in consultation with the Company, is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

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

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) 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, with respect to any Benchmark, the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to such 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);

(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, the CME Term SOFR Administrator, 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

- 8 -

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 Servicer, any Lender 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.

SECTION 1.05. Certain Assumptions relating to Portfolio Investments. For purposes of all calculations hereunder, 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. Further, any direction or Borrower Order required hereunder relating to the purchase, acquisition, sale, disposition or other transfer of the Collateral may be in the form of any 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 on which the Collateral Agent and Collateral Administrator may rely. Furthermore, with respect to any instruction to the Collateral Agent hereunder relating to the transfer of amounts on deposit in any of the Collateral Accounts, a copy of such instruction shall also be required to be given to the Collateral Administrator.

SECTION 1.06. Valuation of Permitted Non-USD Currency Portfolio Investments. For purposes of all valuations and calculations under the Loan Documents, the principal amount and Market Value of all Portfolio Investments and Eligible Investments denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency and proceeds denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency on deposit in any Permitted Non-USD Currency Account shall be converted to U.S. Dollars at the Spot Rate in accordance with the definition of such term in consultation with the Administrative Agent on the applicable date of valuation or calculation, as applicable.

SECTION 1.07. Interest Rates; Benchmark Notification. The interest rate on an Advance may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Section 3.01(h) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, 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,

- 40 -

the existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Company. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Company, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

THE ADVANCES

SECTION 2.01. Financing Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, only during the Reinvestment Period, each Lender hereby severally agrees to make available to the Company Advances, in U.S. Dollars, in an aggregate amount outstanding not exceeding the amount of such Lender’s Financing Commitment. The Financing Commitments shall terminate on the earliest of (a) the close of business on the last day of the Reinvestment Period, (b) the Maturity Date and (c) the occurrence of a Market Value Event.

SECTION 2.02. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.03. Advances; Use of Proceeds.

(a) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Purchase of a Portfolio Investment set forth in Section 1.03 and/or an Advance set forth in Section 2.05 as of (i) the related Trade Date or (ii) the Advance date, as applicable, the Lenders will (ratably in accordance with their respective Financing Commitments) make the applicable Advance available to the Company on the related Settlement Date (or otherwise on the related Advance date if no Portfolio Investment is being acquired on such date) as provided herein.

(b) Except as expressly provided herein, the failure of any Lender to make any Advance required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. If any Lender shall fail to provide any Advance to the Company required hereunder, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

(c) Subject to Section 2.03(f), the Company shall use the proceeds of the Advances received by it hereunder to purchase the Portfolio Investments identified in the related Notice of Acquisition or to make advances to the Portfolio Investment Obligor of Delayed Funding Term Loans or Revolving Loans in accordance with the underlying instruments relating thereto; provided that, if the proceeds of an Advance are deposited in the USD Principal Collection Account as provided in Section 3.01 prior to or on the Settlement Date for any Portfolio Investment but the Company is unable to Purchase such Portfolio Investment on the related Settlement Date, or if there are proceeds of such Advance remaining after such Purchase, then, subject to Section 3.01(a), upon written notice from the Servicer the Collateral Agent shall apply such proceeds (x) subject to the conditions to the Purchase of a Portfolio Investment set forth in Section 1.03, to purchase Portfolio Investments (including to fund unfunded Delayed Funding Term Loans) prior to the next date on which funds must be applied pursuant to Section 4.05 or (y) if such purchase is not made pursuant to the immediately preceding subclause (x), then as provided in Section 4.05 (for the avoidance of doubt, without any premium or penalty). The proceeds of the Advances shall not be used for any other purpose.

- 41 -

(d) With respect to any Advance, the Servicer shall, on behalf of the Company, submit a request substantially in the form of Exhibit A (a “Request for Advance”) to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator, not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior to the Business Day specified as the date on which such Advance shall be made and, upon receipt of such request, the Lenders shall make such Advances in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 3.01. Any requested Advance shall be in an amount such that, after giving effect thereto and the related purchase (if any) of the applicable Portfolio Investment(s), the Borrowing Base Test is satisfied. Subject to any deemed request pursuant to Section 3.01(h), no Request for Advance shall request a Daily Simple SOFR Advance unless the then-current Benchmark is Daily Simple SOFR.

(e) If the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances is less than the Minimum Funding Amount on any date on or after the Effective Date and prior to the last day of the Reinvestment Period, then the Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, from and after such date, for the account of each Lender, an undrawn fee (the “Undrawn Fee”) which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the Daily Simple SOFR as of such date plus the Undrawn Fee Rate for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule on the average daily Undrawn Amount during the period from and including such date to but excluding the last day of the Reinvestment Period. Accrued Undrawn Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date occurring after the date on which the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances is less than the Minimum Funding Amount to the earlier of (i) the date on which the Financing Commitments terminate and (ii) the last day of the Reinvestment Period. All Undrawn Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For the avoidance of doubt, no Undrawn Fee shall be due in respect of any date on which the outstanding Advances are equal to or greater than the Minimum Funding Amount on such date.

(f) If two (2) Business Days prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period there exists any Unfunded Exposure Shortfall, then the Servicer, on behalf of the Company, shall be deemed to have requested an Advance on such date, and the Lenders shall make a corresponding Advance on the last day of the Reinvestment Period (with written notice to the Collateral Administrator by the Administrative Agent) in accordance with Article III in an amount, to be deposited in the Unfunded Exposure Account (or, with respect to any portion of the Unfunded Exposure Shortfall relating to Portfolio Investments denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency, in the related Permitted Non-USD Currency Unfunded Exposure Account), equal in the aggregate to the least of (i) the aggregate Unfunded Exposure Shortfall, (ii) the Financing Commitments in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances and (iii) an amount such that the Borrowing Base Test is satisfied after giving effect to such Advance; provided that, if the Company provides evidence to the Administrative Agent (satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) that it has cash from other sources that is available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to make any such future advances in respect of any Delayed Funding Term Loan or Revolving Loan, then the amount of any such Advance shall be reduced by the amount of such funds. After giving effect to such Advance, the Company shall cause the proceeds of such Advance and cash from other sources that are available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in an amount equal to the aggregate Unfunded Exposure Shortfall to be deposited in the Unfunded Exposure Account (or, with respect to any portion of the Unfunded Exposure Shortfall relating to Portfolio Investments denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency, in the related Permitted Non-USD Currency Unfunded Exposure Account).

- 42 -

(g) If, at any time, the Unfunded Exposure Shortfall exceeds 5.00% of the Collateral Principal Amount, the Company shall deposit, within two (2) Business Days thereof, cash collateral in the Unfunded Exposure Account in an amount equal to such excess.

ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE ADVANCES

SECTION 3.01. The Advances.

(a) Making the Advances. If the Lenders are required to make an Advance to the Company as provided in Section 2.03, then each Lender shall make such Advance on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collateral Agent for deposit to the Collection Account. 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, prepay and reborrow Advances, except that prepayments made after the Reinvestment Period shall result in a reduction of Financing Commitments as provided in Section 4.07(d).

(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 to but excluding the Maturity Date or, if earlier, the date on which such Advance is repaid) at a per annum rate equal to the Term SOFR Rate for each Calculation Period in effect plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule; provided that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all outstanding Advances and any unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest (from and including the date of such Event of Default to but excluding the Maturity Date or, if earlier, the date on which such Advance is repaid) at a per annum rate equal to the Term SOFR Rate for each Calculation Period in effect plus the Adjusted Applicable Margin.

(c) Evidence of the Advances. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Company to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a register (the “Register”) in which it shall record (1) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, (2) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Lender hereunder and (3) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. The entries made in the Register maintained pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such Register or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this section. This Section 3.01(c) shall be construed so that the Advances are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

- 46 -

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

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

(e) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company that the adoption of any law, rule or regulation, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for a Lender or the Administrative Agent to perform its obligations hereunder to fund or maintain Advances hereunder, then (1) the obligation of such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder to fund or maintain Advances 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 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 any outstanding Advances of such Lender shall be promptly paid in full by the Company (together with all accrued interest and all 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 under this Agreement as specified in such clause (2) and (y) such date as shall be mandated by law; provided that, to the extent that any such adoption or change makes it unlawful for the Advances to bear interest by reference to the Term SOFR Rate, then the foregoing clauses (1) through (3) shall not apply and the Advances shall bear interest (from and after the last day of the Calculation Period ending immediately after such adoption or change) at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule; provided, further, that no breakage costs shall be payable in connection with this Section 3.01(e).

(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;

- 47 -

(B) impose on any Lender or the applicable interest rate 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 and (y) Excluded 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 (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand; provided, that in no event shall any Lender be required to provide any information or documentation to the extent such Lender reasonably determines providing the same would constitute a breach by such Lender of confidentiality obligations), then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

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

(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.

- 48 -

(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, 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) defaults in its obligation to make Advances hereunder (or, in the case of a requirement to assign or delegate interests, rights and obligations as set forth below, is otherwise a Defaulting Lender), then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, prepay the Advances of such Lender or require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related transaction documents to an assignee identified by the Company that shall assume such obligations (whereupon such Lender shall be obligated to so assign), provided that, (x) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder through the date of such assignment, (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 Lender shall not be JPMCB. No prepayment fee that may otherwise be due hereunder shall be payable to such Lender in connection with any such prepayment or 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 and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that every such payment (after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future Taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Company is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority therein or thereof) shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement.

(h) Alternate Rate of Interest.

(i) Temporary Benchmark Unavailability. Subject to clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of this Section 3.01(h), if:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR Rate (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for the applicable tenor or (B) if the then-current Benchmark is Daily Simple SOFR, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Daily Simple SOFR; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that (A) the Term SOFR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Advances (or its Advance) or (B) if the then-current Benchmark is Daily Simple SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Advances (or its Advance), then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders

by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator) and until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator) that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Company delivers a new Request for Advance in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03(d), then, with respect for Advances referencing the affected Benchmark (1) any Request for Advance that requests a Term Benchmark Advance shall instead be deemed to be a request for (x) Daily Simple SOFR Advance so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of Section 3.01(h)(i)(a)(B) or (b)(B) above or (y) a Base Rate Advance if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of Section 3.01(h)(i)(a)(B) or (b)(B) above and (2) any Request for Advance that requests a Daily Simple SOFR Advance shall instead be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Advance.

Furthermore, if any Daily Simple SOFR Advance or Term Benchmark 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) with respect to a Benchmark applicable to such Term Benchmark Advance or Daily Simple SOFR Advance, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Company delivers a new Request for Advance in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03(d) then, with respect to Advances referencing the affected Benchmark (1) any Term Benchmark Advance shall, 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), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Advance so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of Section 3.01(h)(i)(a)(B) or (b)(B) above or (y) a Base Rate Advance if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of Section 3.01(h)(i)(a)(B) or (b)(B) above, on such day, and (2) any Daily Simple SOFR Advance shall, on and from such day, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Base Rate Advance.

(a) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and

(b) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided

- 50 -

to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(iii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent 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 or any other Loan Document.

(iv) Notices from and Determinations by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator) of (a) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (b) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (c) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (d) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (v) below and (e) the commencement or conclusion 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 3.01(h), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence 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 Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.01(h).

(v) Unavailable Term Rate Tenors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (a) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR 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 Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Calculation Period” or “Term SOFR Rate” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (b) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (a) 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 or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of definition of “Calculation Period” or “Term SOFR Rate” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

- 51 -

(vi) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any request for or conversion to a Term Benchmark Advance or Daily Simple SOFR Advance to be made or converted during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Company will be deemed to have converted any request for, or request for conversion to, a Term Benchmark Advance into a request for, or conversion to, (A) a Daily Simple SOFR Advance so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) a Base Rate Advance if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event.

During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then- current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

Furthermore, if any Daily Simple SOFR Advance or any Term Benchmark Advance is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Benchmark applicable to such Term Benchmark Advance or Daily Simple SOFR Advance, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 3.01(h), (1) any Term Benchmark Advance shall 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), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Advance so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) a Base Rate Advance if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any Daily Simple SOFR Advance shall, on and from such day, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Base Rate Advance.

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 or the Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(c) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify each Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, within ten (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 the Administrative Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender or the Administrative Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes

- 52 -

were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so) and (ii) 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 IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

- 53 -

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

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

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

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

(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;

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

- 54 -

(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 attesting to the fact 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(a)(3)(iii) 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.

ARTICLE VIII

COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS; COLLATERAL SECURITY

SECTION 8.01. The Collateral Accounts; Agreement as to Control.

(a) Establishment and Maintenance of Collateral Accounts. The Company hereby appoints the Securities Intermediary to establish each of the USD Accounts and the Permitted Non-USD Currency Accounts (collectively, the “Collateral Accounts”). As of the date hereof, the Securities Intermediary confirms that the USD Accounts have been established. In addition, the Company hereby directs the Securities Intermediary to establish as promptly as practicable after the Effective Date the Permitted Non-USD Currency Accounts for the purposes of holding cash and Portfolio Investments denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency pursuant to the terms hereof. Promptly upon establishment of each Permitted Non-USD Currency Account, the Securities Intermediary shall provide a written notice to each of the Company, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Administrative Agent setting forth, with respect to such Permitted Non-USD Currency Account, the applicable Currency, the account name (as set forth in the Transaction Schedule) and the account number of such Permitted Non-USD Currency Account (such notice, the “Permitted Non-USD Currency Account Opening Notice”). The Securities Intermediary hereby certifies that it is a bank or trust company that in the ordinary course of business maintains securities accounts and deposit accounts for others and in that capacity has established the Collateral Accounts.

(b) Collateral Agent in Control of Collateral Accounts. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (1) each Collateral Account shall be deemed to be a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC), (2) all property credited to any Collateral Account shall be treated as a financial asset for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC and (3) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent will be exclusively entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each financial asset credited to each Collateral Account. Except as provided in Section 8.01(h) below, the parties hereto agree that the Securities Intermediary shall act only on entitlement orders or other instructions with respect to the Collateral Accounts originated by the Collateral Agent and no other Person (and without further consent by any other Person); and the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal over each Collateral Account. The only permitted withdrawals from the Collateral Accounts shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any entitlement order or other direction or instruction from the Collateral Agent (acting solely at the written direction of the Administrative Agent) relating to any Collateral Account or the financial assets credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order or other direction or instruction without further consent by the Company, the Servicer or any other Person.

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

- 75 -

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

(e) Jurisdiction; Governing Law of Collateral Accounts. The establishment and maintenance of each Collateral Account and all interests, duties and obligations related thereto shall be governed by the law of the State of New York and the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) shall be the State of New York. As permitted by Article 4 of the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an Intermediary (the “Hague Convention”), the parties hereto agree that the law of the State of New York shall govern each Collateral Account and the issues specified in Article 2(1) of the Hague Convention. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed as an amendment to any other account agreement governing any Collateral Account. Terms used in this Section 8.01 without definition have the meanings given to them in the UCC.

(f) No Duties. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Securities Intermediary shall not have any additional duties under this Agreement other than those expressly set forth in this Section 8.01, and the Securities Intermediary shall satisfy those duties expressly set forth in this Section 8.01 so long as it acts without gross negligence, fraud, reckless disregard or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Securities Intermediary shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, and the Securities Intermediary shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers. The Securities Intermediary shall be subject to all of the rights, protections and immunities given to the Collateral Agent hereunder, including indemnities. In the event the Securities Intermediary receives instructions from the Company to effect a securities transaction as contemplated in 12 CFR 12.1, the Company acknowledges that upon its written request and at no additional cost, it has the right to receive the notification from the Securities Intermediary after the completion of such transaction as contemplated in 12 CFR 12.4(a) or (b). The Company agrees that, absent specific request, such notifications shall not be provided by the Securities Intermediary hereunder, and in lieu of such notifications, the Securities Intermediary shall make available periodic account statements in the manner required by this Agreement.

(g) Ownership of Collateral Accounts; Tax Forms. For the avoidance of doubt, each Collateral Account (including income, if any, earned on the investments of funds in such Collateral Account) will be owned by the Company, for federal income tax purposes. The Company is required to provide to the Securities Intermediary (i) an IRS Form W-9 no later than the date of this Agreement, and (ii) any additional IRS forms (or updated versions of any previously submitted IRS forms) or other documentation at such time or times required by Applicable Law or upon the reasonable request of the Securities Intermediary as may be necessary (x) to reduce or eliminate the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes and (y) to permit the Securities Intermediary to fulfill its tax reporting obligations under Applicable Law with respect to the Collateral Accounts or any amounts paid to the Company. If any IRS form or other documentation previously delivered becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, the Company shall timely provide to the Securities Intermediary accurately updated and complete versions of such IRS forms or other documentation. Citibank, N.A., both in its individual capacity and in its capacity as Securities Intermediary, shall have no liability to the Company or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid or withheld from the Collateral Accounts pursuant to Applicable Law arising from the Company’s failure to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, no funds shall be invested with respect to such Collateral Accounts absent the Securities Intermediary having first received the IRS forms and other documentation required by this paragraph.

- 76 -

(h) Investment of Funds on Deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account and the Permitted Non-USD Currency Unfunded Exposure Accounts. All amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account shall be invested (and reinvested) at the written direction of the Company (or the Servicer on its behalf) delivered to the Collateral Agent in Eligible Investments; provided that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or following a Market Value Event, all amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account shall be invested, reinvested and otherwise disposed of at the written direction of the Administrative Agent delivered to the Collateral Agent. Amounts on deposit in the Permitted Non-USD Currency Unfunded Exposure Accounts will remain uninvested.

(i) Unfunded Exposure Account and Permitted Non-USD Currency Unfunded Exposure Accounts.

(i) Amounts may be deposited into the Unfunded Exposure Account and/or any Permitted Non-USD Currency Unfunded Exposure Account from time to time in accordance with Section 4.05. Amounts shall also be deposited into the Unfunded Exposure Account and each applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency Unfunded Exposure Account as set forth in Section 2.03(f) or Section 2.03(g).

(ii) While no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no Market Value Event has occurred and subject to satisfaction of the Borrowing Base Test (after giving effect to such release), the Servicer may direct, by means of an instruction in writing to the Securities Intermediary (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator), the release of funds on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account or any Permitted Non-USD Currency Unfunded Exposure Account

(i) for the purpose of funding the Company’s unfunded commitments with respect to Delayed Funding Term Loans and Revolving Loans, for deposit into the USD Principal Collection Account or the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency Principal Collection Account and (ii) so long as no Unfunded Exposure Shortfall exists or would exist after giving effect to the withdrawal. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or following the occurrence of a Market Value Event, at the written direction of the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator), the Securities Intermediary shall transfer all amounts in the Unfunded Exposure Account to the USD Principal Collection Account and all amounts in each Permitted Non-USD Currency Unfunded Exposure Account to the related Permitted Non-USD Currency Principal Collection Account, in each case, to be applied pursuant to Section 4.05. Upon the direction of the Company by means of an instruction in writing to the Securities Intermediary (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent), any amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account in excess of outstanding funding obligations of the Company in respect of USD denominated Delayed Funding Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be released to the USD Principal Collection Account and any amounts on deposit in any Permitted Non-USD Currency Unfunded Exposure Account in excess of outstanding funding obligations of the Company in respect of Delayed Funding Term Loans and Revolving Loans in the related currency shall be released to the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency Principal Collection Account, in each case, to prepay the outstanding Advances.

SECTION 8.02. Collateral Security; Pledge; Delivery.

(a) Grant of Security Interest.

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

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

The Company and the Servicer 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 Servicer 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 Servicer 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 Servicer hereby waive any claims against each Agent and Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale.

(f) Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Company hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as the Company’s attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of the Company by this appointment), with full authority in the place and stead of the Company and in the name of the Company, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion (exercised at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be), solely 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.

- 79 -

(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 Servicer herein.

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

(i) Release of Security Interest upon Disposition of Collateral. Upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral (or portion thereof) that is permitted hereunder, the security interest granted hereunder in such Portfolio Investment 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 Portfolio Investment or other Collateral (or such portion) and without any further action on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, be released. Upon any such release, the Collateral Agent will, at the Company’s sole expense and upon receipt of a certification of the Company (or the Servicer on its behalf) that all conditions to such sale, transfer or disposition have been complied with, deliver to the Company, or cause the Securities Intermediary to deliver, without any representations, warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing all of the Collateral held by the Securities Intermediary hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Company or its nominee such documents as the Company shall reasonably request and provide to the Securities Intermediary for execution to evidence such release.

ARTICLE IX

THE AGENTS

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

- 80 -

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.

No Agent or the Collateral Administrator shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except that the foregoing shall not limit any duty expressly set forth in this Agreement to include such rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or that such Agent is required by the terms of this Agreement to exercise as directed in writing by (i) in the case of the Collateral Agent (A) in respect of the exercise of remedies under Section 8.02(c), the Required Lenders, or (B) in all other cases, the Administrative Agent or (ii) in the case of any Agent, the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided herein), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company that is communicated to or obtained by the financial institution serving in the capacity of such Agent (except insofar as provided to it as Agent hereunder) or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or with the consent or at the request or direction of the Administrative Agent (in the case of the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Agent only) or the Required 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. 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 or in any other Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, value or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other agreement, instrument or document or the Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent shall be required to risk or expend its own funds in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder if it reasonably believes it will not receive reimbursement therefor hereunder.

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

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. Neither the Collateral Administrator nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations under or in respect of any other agreement (including any agreement that may be referenced herein) to which it is not a party. The grant of any permissive right or power to the Collateral Agent hereunder shall not be construed to impose a duty to act.

- 81 -

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 Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. No Agent shall be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any sub-agent or attorney appointed by such Agent with due care. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of such Person and its Affiliates (the “Related Parties”) for such Agent. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

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

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor as provided in this paragraph, each of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary may be removed at any time with 30 days’ notice by the Company (with the written consent of the Administrative Agent), with notice to the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Lenders and the Servicer. 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

- 82 -

have been so appointed by the Company and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice of removal by the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and/or the Securities Intermediary, as applicable (each, a “Removed Agent”), then the Administrative Agent may (with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no Market Value Event has occurred, the consent of the Company) 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. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Removed Agent, and the Removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the Removed Agent’s removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Sections 5.03 and 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

Upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent or the successor agent, such retiring or removed agent shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor agent all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring or removed agent, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor agent all property and money held by such retiring or removed agent hereunder. Upon request of any such successor agent, the Company and the Administrative Agent shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor agent all such rights, powers and trusts.

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

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

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

- 83 -

No Agent shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts include but are not limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots and acts of war. 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.

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

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

(a) Collateral Agent May Perform. The Collateral Agent shall from time to time take such action (at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein and the Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Agent in writing to take any action incidental thereto; provided that with respect to actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Administrative Agent; provided further 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 make provision reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent for payment of same.

If, in performing its respective duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent or Collateral Administrator, as applicable, is required to decide between alternative courses of action, such Collateral Agent or Collateral Administrator shall request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it. 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 and shall have no liability in connection therewith except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. 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 or Collateral Administrator, as applicable, shall be entitled to rely on the advice of legal counsel and independent accountants in performing its respective duties hereunder.

(b) Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided that (i) the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as permitted by this Agreement and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have failed to exercise reasonable care if it fails to comply with any request pursuant to this Agreement at any time. 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.

- 84 -

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

(d) Certain Rights and Obligations of the Collateral Agent. Without further consent or authorization from any Lenders, the Collateral Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to release any lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a 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 Servicer, 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.

(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 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. Any organization or entity into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, any organization or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party and any organization or entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Collateral Agent shall be the successor Collateral Agent hereunder without execution or filing of any paper or any further act of any of the parties hereto; provided that such surviving entity meets the requirements of a successor Collateral Agent set forth in Section 9.01.

- 85 -

(g) Reports by the Collateral Administrator. The Company hereby appoints Virtus Group, LP 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. All information reported with respect to (i) a Portfolio Investment and (ii) calculations, tests or other determinations requiring the aggregation of Portfolio Investments or other Collateral shall be reported in USD based upon the Spot Rate; provided that such information (reported in USD based upon the Spot Rate) shall be accompanied by the amounts in the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency. The Company and the Servicer shall cooperate with the Collateral Administrator in connection with the matters described herein, including calculations relating to the reports contemplated herein or as otherwise reasonably requested hereunder.

(h) Information Provided to the Collateral Agent and the 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 Servicer, 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, criminal conduct, fraud or reckless disregard 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.

(i) None of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator shall be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of a Benchmark (or other applicable reference rate), or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any event giving rise to the replacement of a Benchmark as a reference rate, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (ii) to select, identify or designate any Benchmark Replacement rate, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, (iii) to select, identify or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index or (iv) to determine whether or what Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or other amendments are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing.

(j) With respect to any notices, reports, requests for waiver, consent requests or any other requests relating to corporate actions affecting any Equity Security (together, the “Non-Loan Corporate Actions”), the delivery of such shall be made solely via Citibank’s corporate action notification system or such other reasonable notification method as implemented by the Collateral Agent with notification to the Servicer. In order to receive such Non-Loan Corporate Actions, the Servicer may be required to register for an account with Citibank’s corporate action notification system. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Administrator shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Non-Loan Corporate Actions.

SECTION 9.03.Acknowledgements of the Lenders.

(a) Each Secured Party hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Secured Party that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Secured Party from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Secured Party (whether or not known to such Secured

- 86 -

Party), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Secured Party shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Secured Party to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Secured Party shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, 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 Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Secured Party under this Section 9.03 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Each Secured Party hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (i) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Secured Party agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Secured Party shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Secured Party to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c) The parties hereto hereby agree that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Secured Party that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Secured Party with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by the Company, except, in each case, to the extent such Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Company for the purpose of making such Payment.

(d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, any Secured Party, the termination of the Financing Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(a) The Company shall pay (1) all fees and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary and their Related Parties, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel for each Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator, and such other local counsel as required for the Agents, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator, collectively, in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) (including due diligence with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby) and (2) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary and the Lenders, including the fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel for each Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary and such other local counsel as required for all of them, in connection herewith, including the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement, including their rights under this Section, or in connection with the Advances provided by them hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Advances.

(b) The Company shall indemnify the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary, the Lenders and their Related Parties (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”), 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 outside counsel for each Indemnitee and such other local counsel as required for any Indemnitees, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (1) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations (including, without limitation, any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or the Servicer hereunder (for the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to any limitation included in any such representation or warranty relating to materiality or causing a Material Adverse Effect)) or the exercise or enforcement of the parties thereto of their respective rights (including, without limitation, the approval or disapproval by the Administrative Agent of the acquisition of any Portfolio Investment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (2) any Advance or the use of the proceeds therefrom, or (3) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto or is pursuing or defending any such action; 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 (i) from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its officers, directors or employees or (ii) solely from the failure of the Portfolio Investments to perform. This Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, neither the Company nor any Indemnitee shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against the Company or any Indemnitee, as applicable, 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 Loan Document or any agreement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(d) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Company against any of and all the obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this clause (d) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

- 89 -

(e) This Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all amounts owing to the Secured Parties hereunder.

SECTION 10.05. Amendments. Subject to Section 3.01(h)(iii), no amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including, without limitation, a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission or electronic mail) and executed by each of the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Required Lenders, the Company and the Servicer; provided, however, that any amendment to this Agreement that the Administrative Agent determines in its commercially reasonable judgment is necessary to effectuate the purposes of Section 1.04 hereof following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or following the occurrence of a Market Value Event and which would not result in an increase or decrease in the rights, duties or liabilities of the Servicer or the Company shall not be required to be executed by the Servicer or the Company; provided further that the Administrative Agent may waive any of the Eligibility Criteria and the requirements set forth in Schedule 3 or Schedule 4 in its sole discretion; provided further that none of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary shall be required to execute any amendment that affects its rights, duties, protections or immunities; provided further that any Material Amendment shall require the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby; provided further that (i) the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Company only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent), so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice (which may be by electronic mail) thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice (which may be by electronic mail) from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment and (ii) the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Required Lenders), in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to any action or omission as set forth in this Agreement and may grant waivers, concessions and other indulgences in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.06. Successors; Assignments.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Company without such consent shall be null and void) and, other than as set forth in Section 5.01, the Servicer may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Subject to the conditions set forth below, any Lender may assign to any other Person, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Financing Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Administrative Agent and the Company; provided that (1) no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Financing Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender (or any Affiliate thereof) immediately prior to giving effect

- 90 -

to such assignment and (2) no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a bank, broker-dealer or insurance company, unless such assignee is a Competitor; provided, further, that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to any Person (including a Competitor) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or following the occurrence of a Market Value Event.

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

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

The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each assignment and assumption delivered to it and the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the parties hereto shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, any Lender and the Servicer, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 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.

(c) Any Lender may sell participations to one or more banks, broker-dealers, insurance companies or other entities (a “Lender Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Financing Commitment and the Advances owing to it); provided that (1) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (2) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (3) the Company, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (4) if such sale is to a Competitor, such Lender shall provide prompt written notice thereof to the Servicer and the Company. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Lender Participant, agree to any Material Amendment that affects such Lender Participant.

(d) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Lender Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Lender Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity

- 91 -

of any Lender Participant or any information relating to a Lender Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) and proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations or any successor provision. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The Company agrees that each Lender Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01(e) and 3.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.03(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.03(f) shall be delivered to the Lender that sells the participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Lender Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.01(f) relating to replacement of Lenders as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 10.06 and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01(e) and 3.03, with respect to any participation, than the Lender that sells the participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Lender Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the replacement of Lenders provisions set forth in Section 3.01(f) with respect to any Lender Participant.

SECTION 10.07. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Etc.

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

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

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

- 92 -

SECTION 10.08. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Advance, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Advance under Applicable Law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Advance in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Advance hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Advance but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.08 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Advances or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 10.09. PATRIOT Act. Each Lender and Agent that is subject to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, which information includes the name and address of the Company and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent to identify the Company in accordance with the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts by facsimile or other written form of communication, each of which shall be deemed to be an original as against the party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. The words “delivery,” “execution,” “execute,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 10.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
