If such consultation does not resolve the dispute within one (1) day after notice of such dispute is provided to the Administrative Agent, the following mechanism shall apply:

(1) if the Disputed Collateral Asset is a Broadly Syndicated Loan, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with Firm Bids from at least two Approved Broker Dealers for each Disputed Collateral Asset, and the Asset Value shall be recalculated to be the highest of such Firm Bids (or, if two Firm Bids for the relevant date of determination are not available, the Asset Value shall be determined in accordance with the following clause (2));

(2) if clause (1) does not apply, the Collateral Manager shall hire an Approved Valuation Firm to provide a fair market value for such Disputed Collateral Asset; and, effective as of the date of delivery of the valuation report from the Approved Valuation Firm to the Administrative Agent, the Asset Value shall equal the fair market value provided by such Approved Valuation Firm; provided that such value may not exceed the Original Asset Value.

The provisions of this Section 1.04 shall be applicable to any determination or calculation that is covered by this Section 1.04, whether or not reference is specifically made to Section 1.04, unless some other method of calculation or determination is expressly specified in the particular provision.

(a) All calculations with respect to Scheduled Distributions on any Collateral Asset shall be made on the basis of information as to the terms of each such Collateral Asset and upon reports of payments, if any, received on such Collateral Asset that are furnished by or on behalf of the Obligor of such Collateral Asset and, to the extent they are not manifestly in error, such information or reports may be conclusively relied upon in making such calculations.

(b) For purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base Test, except as otherwise specified in the Borrowing Base Test, such calculations will not include (i) scheduled interest and principal payments on Ineligible Collateral Assets unless or until such payments are actually made and (ii) ticking fees and other similar fees in respect of Collateral Assets, unless or until such fees are actually paid.

(c) For each Collection Period and as of any date of determination, the Scheduled Distribution on any Collateral Asset (other than a Defaulted Loan or an Ineligible Collateral Asset, which, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be assumed to have Scheduled Distributions of zero) shall be deemed to be the total amount of (i) payments and collections to be received during such Collection Period in respect of such Collateral Asset, (ii) proceeds of the sale of such Collateral Asset received and, in the case of sales which have not yet settled, to be received during such Collection Period that are not reinvested in additional Collateral Assets or retained in a Collection Account for subsequent reinvestment pursuant to Article X, which proceeds, if received as scheduled, will be available in a Collection Account and available for distribution at the end of such Collection Period and (iii) amounts referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above that were received in prior Collection Periods but were not disbursed on a previous Payment Date or retained in a Collection Account for subsequent reinvestment pursuant to Article X.

(e) References in the Priority of Payments to calculations made on a “pro forma basis” shall mean such calculations after giving effect to all payments, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, that precede (in priority of payment) or include the clause in which such calculation is made.

(f) For purposes of calculating all Concentration Limitations, in both the numerator and the denominator of any component of the Concentration Limitations, Ineligible Collateral Assets will be treated as having a Principal Balance of zero.

(g) Except as otherwise provided herein, Ineligible Collateral Assets will (i) not be included in the calculation of the Collateral Quality Test, (ii) be treated as having an Asset Value of zero and (iii) be excluded from the calculation of each Borrowing Base on and after the date such Collateral Asset constitutes an Ineligible Collateral Asset.

(h) For purposes of determining the Minimum Weighted Average Spread Test (and related computations of Aggregate Funded Spread), capitalized or deferred interest (and any other interest that is not paid in cash) will be excluded.

(i) Portions of the same Collateral Asset acquired by the Borrower on different dates (excluding subsequent draws under Revolving Collateral Assets or Delayed Drawdown Collateral Assets) will, for purposes of determining the Purchase Price of such Collateral Asset, be treated as separate acquisitions on separate dates (and not a weighted average purchase price for any particular Collateral Asset).

(j) For purposes of calculating compliance with each of the Concentration Limitations all calculations will be rounded to the nearest 0.01%.

(k) For purposes of calculating compliance with the Borrowing Base Test, the Collateral Quality Test, or any Concentration Limitation under this Agreement in connection with the acquisition or disposition of a Collateral Asset or Eligible Investment, the trade date with respect to any such Collateral Asset or Eligible Investment acquired or disposed of or under consideration for acquisition or disposition shall be used to determine compliance with the Borrowing Base Test, the Collateral Quality Test or any Concentration Limitation and whether such acquisition or disposition is permitted hereunder; provided that, for purposes of calculating compliance with the Borrowing Base Test, the Collateral Quality Test or any Concentration Limitation, the calculation thereof shall assume (and give pro forma effect to) (x) the making of an Advance to the Borrower (based on the Advance Rate applicable thereto) and any capital contribution to the Borrower by the Equityholder prior to or upon settlement of the acquisition of a Collateral Asset (based on the applicable Purchase Price) and (y) the repayment of an Advance to the Borrower upon settlement of the disposition of a Collateral Asset (based on the sale price therefor).

(l) At any time when any one or more of the Concentration Limitations are exceeded, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager acting on its behalf) shall select (from among the Collateral Assets whose Principal Balance causes such Concentration Limitations to be exceeded) the Collateral Assets, or portions thereof, to be allocated to the Excess Concentration Amount, and revise such allocations from time to time.

(m) To the extent of any ambiguity in the interpretation of any definition or term contained in this Agreement or to the extent more than one methodology can be used to make any of the determinations or calculations set forth herein, the Collateral Administrator shall request direction from the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Manager as to the interpretation and/or methodology to be used, and the Collateral Administrator shall follow such direction, and together with the Collateral Agent, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary, shall be entitled to conclusively rely thereon without any responsibility or liability therefor.

ARTICLE II

ADVANCES

Section 2.01 Revolving Credit Facility; Approval Requests

(a) The Borrower, shall, on or prior to each proposed Acquisition Date of any Collateral Asset (whether proposed to be funded by an Advance or by the use of the cash proceeds contributed by the Equityholder, or by an in-kind contribution of Collateral Assets contributed by the Equityholder) provide to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Equityholder and Collateral Agent) a notice by electronic mail either in the form of Exhibit A hereto or containing the information set forth in Exhibit A hereto (together with any attachments or responses required in connection therewith, an “Approval Request”). Such approval may take the form of a standing list of pre-approved assets containing the characteristics of each preapproved asset (other than purchase price), together with a notice of intention to trade containing the par amount and purchase price of the Collateral Asset(s) being acquired delivered on or prior to 11:00 a.m. on the proposed trade date.

(b) Subject to Section 2.05(c), the Administrative Agent shall have the right to approve or reject any Approval Request in its sole discretion and/or to request additional information regarding any proposed Collateral Asset. The Administrative Agent shall promptly after receipt by the Administrative Agent of all required information and documentation notify the Collateral Manager and the Borrower (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator) in writing (including via electronic mail) whether each Approval Request has been approved or rejected; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall fail to so notify the Collateral Manager and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have rejected such Approval Request. Any approval may be withdrawn at any time at least five (5) Business Days prior to the time at which the Borrower actually becomes obligated to purchase or enter into documents governing such proposed Collateral Asset by written notice (including via e-mail) of such withdrawal from the Administrative Agent to the Collateral Manager. If the Borrower has not entered into a binding obligation to purchase such Collateral Asset (or, with respect to any Participation Interest in a Collateral Asset, to enter into a participation with respect thereto) within thirty (30) Business Days of the date of such approval or a material and adverse change occurs with respect to such Collateral Asset or the related Obligor, then, except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, the Borrower shall re-submit an Approval Request and shall not be authorized to purchase such proposed Collateral Asset until the Administrative Agent approves such updated Approval Request in its sole discretion. If the Administrative Agent has rejected an Approval Request, or withdrawn or withheld its approval of any such request, then the Borrower shall not be authorized to purchase such proposed Collateral Asset unless, in the case of a withdrawn approval (including any withdrawal or requirement to re-submit an Approval Request pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence), the Administrative Agent has not withdrawn its approval at least five (5) Business Days prior to the time at which the Borrower enters into a commitment to purchase such proposed Collateral Asset.

(c) On the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, including Article III, each Lender severally agrees to make loans to the Borrower (an “Advance”) from time to time on any Business Day during the Reinvestment Period, on a pro rata basis in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to but not exceeding such Xxxxxx’s Commitment and, as to all Lenders, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not exceeding the Borrowing Base (Aggregate) as then in effect. Each such borrowing of an Advance on any single day is referred to herein as a “Borrowing”.

Within such limits and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow (and re-borrow) Advances under this Section 2.01 and prepay Advances under Section 2.05.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and on the Commitment Termination Date, the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account is less than the Unfunded Exposure Amount (such amount, the “Unfunded Reserve Account Shortfall”), the Borrower shall cause to be deposited in the Unfunded Reserve Account an amount equal to the Unfunded Reserve Account Shortfall. Following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing relating to the foregoing (which shall specify the account details of the Unfunded Reserve Account where the funds will be made available), each Lender shall fund its pro rata portion of such Advances in accordance with Section 2.02(c), notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02); provided that no such Advance may cause the Advances Outstanding to exceed the Borrowing Base (Aggregate).

Section 2.02 Making of the Advances

(a) If the Borrower desires to make a Borrowing under this Agreement it shall give the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator) a written notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) for such Borrowing (which notice shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt) not later than (i) if the Advance is denominated in Dollars, 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date and (ii) if the Advance is denominated in any Eligible Currency (other than Dollars), 2:00 p.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date.

(b) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, dated the date the request for the related Borrowing is being made, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower), shall attach a Borrowing Base Calculation Statement, and shall otherwise be appropriately completed. Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify the proposed Borrowing Date and the Eligible Currency. The proposed Borrowing Date specified in each Notice of Borrowing shall be a Business Day falling on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date and, with respect to Borrowings in Dollars, the amount of the Borrowing requested in such Notice of Borrowing (the “Requested Amount”) shall be equal to at least $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the remaining unfunded Commitments hereunder or, in the case of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Assets or Revolving Collateral Assets, such lesser amount required to be funded by the Borrower in respect thereof); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a Borrowing in any Eligible Currency (other than Dollars), there is no required minimum amount or integral multiple.

(c) Each Lender shall, not later than 11:00 a.m. (or, if later, within three (3) hours of its receipt of the related Notice of Borrowing) on each Borrowing Date in respect of Advances, make its Percentage of the applicable Requested Amount available to the Borrower in immediately available funds by disbursing such funds to the account of the Borrower in accordance with the wiring instruction set forth in the notification of Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Borrower to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.02(a).

Section 2.03 Evidence of Indebtedness; Notes

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to it and resulting from the Advances made by such Lender to the Borrower, from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest thereon and paid to it, from time to time hereunder; provided that the failure of any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the information provided to it by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Advances Outstanding with respect to each Lender.

(b) Any Lender may request that its Advances to the Borrower be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender and otherwise appropriately completed. Thereafter, the Advances of such Lender evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 12.06(a)) be represented by a Note payable to such Lender (or registered assigns pursuant to Section 12.06(a)), except to the extent that such Lender (or assignee) subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Advances once again be evidenced as described in clause (a) of this Section 2.03.

(c) If any Lender elects not to receive a Note, all references herein and the other Facility Documents to such Xxxxxx’s Note shall be deemed to mean the Advances Outstanding with respect to such Xxxxxx. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions herein and the other Facility Documents related to the Lenders hereunder shall apply to each Lender regardless of whether such Xxxxxx has received a Note.

Section 2.04 Payment of Amounts

The Borrower shall pay principal and Interest on the Advances and the fees set forth in the Facility Documents to the Lenders in accordance with the Priority of Payments as follows:

(a) 100% of the outstanding principal amount of each Advance, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, shall be payable on the Final Maturity Date.

(b) Interest shall accrue at the Interest Rate on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in full.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall determine the unpaid Interest, Commitment Fees, and Prepayment Fees payable thereto prior to each Payment Date using the applicable Interest Rate for the related Interest Accrual Period to be paid by the Borrower with respect to each Advance on each Payment Date for the related Interest Accrual Period and shall advise each

Lender and the Collateral Manager thereof and shall send a consolidated invoice of all such Interest, Commitment Fees, and Prepayment Fees to the Borrower (with copies to the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Agent) at least two (2) Business Days prior to such Payment Date. The Collateral Administrator shall have no duty to verify or recalculate the amounts provided by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04 and is fully protected in relying on these amounts when preparing the Monthly Report.

(d) Accrued Interest on each Advance shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Payment Date, and (ii) in connection with any prepayment in full of the Advances pursuant to Section 2.05(a); provided that with respect to any prepayment in full of the Advances Outstanding, accrued Interest on such amount through the date of prepayment may be payable on such date or as otherwise agreed to between the Lenders and the Borrower. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date.

(e) The obligation of the Borrower to pay the Obligations, including the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Advances and accrued interest thereon, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof (including Section 2.15), under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against any Secured Party or any other Person.

Section 2.05 Prepayment of Advances

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day, voluntarily prepay Advances in whole or in part, without penalty or premium; provided that the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent written notice of such prepayment (such notice, a “Notice of Prepayment”) in the form of Exhibit C hereto not later than 3:00 p.m. one (1) Business Day (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date of such prepayment (provided that same day notice may be given to cure any non-compliance with the Borrowing Base Test). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such Notice of Prepayment. Each such Notice of Prepayment shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt and shall be dated the date such notice is being given, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) and otherwise appropriately completed; provided that any such Notice of Prepayment may be conditioned upon the happening or occurrence of a specified event, and thereafter revoked in the event that such specified event does not occur. Each prepayment by the Borrower of any Advance denominated in Dollars pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) (other than a prepayment made in order to cure any non-compliance with the Borrowing Base Test) shall in each case be in a principal amount of at least $100,000 or, if less, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Advances Outstanding or, in the case of any prepayment of Advances with the proceeds of a prepayment or repayment of principal of Collateral Assets, such lesser amount as is paid by the applicable Obligor in respect thereof. Each prepayment by the Borrower of an Advance denominated in an Eligible Currency shall be made with such Eligible Currency. If a Notice of Prepayment is given by (or on behalf of) the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein unless such notice is rescinded in accordance with this paragraph.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. The Borrower shall prepay the Advances on each Payment Date in the manner and to the extent provided in the Priority of Payments, including as applicable and without limitation, an amount equal to the outstanding Mandatory Amortization Amount, if any, on or prior to each applicable Payment Date.

The Borrower shall provide, in each Monthly Report, notice of the aggregate amounts of Advances that are to be prepaid on the related Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(i) In addition to any other obligation of the Borrower to cure any Borrowing Base Deficiency pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, if any Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, then the Borrower shall within the applicable Borrowing Base Deficiency Cure Period either (A)(1) deposit into or credit to the Collection Account cash and Eligible Investments, (2) repay Advances (together with all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Agents, Custodian, Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary and the Lenders for which the Borrower has received a reasonably detailed invoice prior to such date of repayment, in each case in respect of the amount so repaid), (3) sell Collateral Assets in accordance with Article X, (4) during the Reinvestment Period, pledge additional Collateral Assets as Collateral; provided that no Administrative Agent approval shall be required for a Collateral Asset pledged pursuant to this clause (4) to be treated as an “Eligible Collateral Asset” for a period not exceeding nine (9) months, so long as such additional Collateral Asset (I) is (x) a Broadly Syndicated Loan or (y) constitutes a portion of a pre-existing Eligible Collateral Asset that was approved by Administrative Agent, (II) has not been subject to an Asset Value Adjustment Event and (III) has not experienced a deterioration in the credit worthiness of the related Obligor or of the Obligor’s general industry, as determined by the Collateral Manager in accordance with the Collateral Management Standard and certified by the Collateral Manager to the Administrative Agent, and/or (5) deliver a Capital Raise Notice and/or (B) deliver to the Administrative Agent a written report (the “Cure Report”) showing a projected cure of any Borrowing Base Deficiency based on actions described in clause (A), if any, and pending purchases and sales of Collateral Assets by 3:00 p.m. on the second Business Day following the occurrence of the Borrowing Base Deficiency, which Cure Report shall (1) be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (2) give effect to all committed purchases of Collateral Assets and other financial assets by the Borrower and account in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for any change in the market value of any such Collateral Asset and (3) give effect to sales of Collateral Assets (including sales committed to on the date of such Cure Report) only if such sales are to Approved Broker Dealers or the Equityholder and Borrower reasonably expects such sales to be settled within twelve (12) Business Days of the Borrower’s commitment to such sale. For the avoidance of doubt, no Prepayment Fee shall be required in connection with any prepayment of an Advance made to cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency.

(ii) In connection with the proposed repayment of Advances or pledge of additional Collateral Assets as Collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i), the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall deliver in accordance with Section 2.05(a), (x) to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Custodian), notice of such repayment or pledge and a duly completed Borrowing Base Calculation Statement, updated to the date such repayment or pledge is being made and giving pro forma effect to such repayment or pledge, and (y) to the Administrative Agent, if applicable, a description of any Collateral Assets and each Obligor of such Collateral Asset to be pledged.

(iii) Until such time as any Borrowing Base Deficiency has been cured in full and no other Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall not request the right to transfer (by sale, dividend, distribution or otherwise), and the Borrower shall not request that the Collateral Agent grant the release of any Lien on, or the transfer of, any Collateral Asset from the Collateral, other than (i) any transfer that complies with Section 10.01(a) or (ii) in connection with the settlement of purchases or sales of Collateral Assets committed to be acquired or sold by the Borrower prior to the occurrence of such Borrowing Base Deficiency that have not yet settled.

(d) Additional Prepayment Provisions. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be subject to Section 2.04(d) and applied to the Advances in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Percentages (subject to Section 2.16(a)(ii)); provided that the Borrower may prepay any Defaulting Lender in connection with the reduction or termination of the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender without prepaying any non-Defaulting Lenders.

Section 2.06 Changes of Commitments

(a) Automatic Reduction and Termination. The Commitments of all Lenders shall be automatically reduced to zero at 5:00 p.m. on the Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Optional Termination or Reductions. Prior to the Final Maturity Date, the Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the unused amount of the Facility Amount at any time or from time to time without any fee or penalty, except as specified in Section 2.12(b), upon not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior notice (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Administrator and the Custodian of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date of such termination or reduction and the amount of any such reduction; provided that any notice received after 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day; provided, further, that (i) the amount of any such reduction of the Facility Amount shall be equal to at least $500,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the remaining unused portion thereof (or, in the case of an Eligible Currency (other than Dollars), no minimum amount or integral multiple), and (ii) no such reduction will reduce the Facility Amount below the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Advances Outstanding at such time and (y) the Unfunded Reserve Required Amount. Such notice of termination or reduction shall be irrevocable (provided that any such notice may be conditioned upon the happening or occurrence of a specified event, and thereafter revoked in the event that such specified event does not occur) and shall be effective only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Administrator and the Custodian, and shall attach, in the case of a reduction of the Commitments, a Borrowing Base Calculation Statement. Each reduction of Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall be applied pro rata to reduce the respective Commitments of each Lender; provided that the Borrower may reduce or terminate the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender without reducing or terminating the Commitments of any non-Defaulting Lenders.

(c) Effect of Termination or Reduction. The Commitments of the Lenders once terminated or reduced may not be reinstated. Each reduction of the Facility Amount pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be applied ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 2.07 Maximum Lawful Rate

It is the intention of the parties hereto that the interest on the Advances shall not exceed the maximum rate permissible under Applicable Law. Accordingly, anything herein or in any Note to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event any interest is charged to, collected from or received from or on behalf of the Borrower by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto in excess of such maximum lawful rate, then the excess of such payment over that maximum shall be applied first to the payment of amounts then due and owing by the Borrower to the Secured Parties under this Agreement (other than in respect of principal of and interest on the Advances) and then to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances Outstanding.

Section 2.08 Several Obligations

The failure of any Lender to make any Advance to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Advance on such date. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator, shall be responsible for the failure of any Lender to make any Advance, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make an Advance required to be made by such other Lender.

Section 2.09 Increased Costs

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, compulsory loan, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Person (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the applicable Benchmark);

(ii) subject any Secured Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Non-Excluded Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Affected Person or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes), affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Affected Person by reference to the applicable Benchmark or any participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to any Affected Person of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Advance) or to increase the cost to, or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest, fees, compensation or otherwise) or sum received or receivable by, such Affected Person hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, compensation or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Affected Person on the next Payment Date after receipt of a written demand by a Responsible Officer of such Affected Person in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered on the Payment Date following receipt of such demand. If a Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under this Section 2.09, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender, suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Advances by reference to the applicable Benchmark, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case (x) all Advances of such Lender shall be made or continued by reference to the Base Rate and (y) such Lender shall have no obligation to make any Advances by reference to the applicable Benchmark); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation required in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have (but for the operation of this Section 2.09) the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital or on the capital of such Affected Person’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement (or arising in connection herewith) or the Advances made by such Affected Person to a level below that which such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Person’s policies and the policies of such Affected Person’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity coverage) by an amount deemed to be material by such Affected Person, then any such Affected Person shall give the Borrower (and the Collateral Manager) prompt notice thereof and on the Payment Date following written demand by such Affected Person, the Borrower will pay to such Affected Person in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company for any such reduction suffered or charge imposed on the Payment Date after the Borrower’s receipt of such demand.

(d) Calculation. In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.09, the Affected Person may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Affected Person making a claim under this Section 2.09, shall submit to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Affected Person setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of such additional or increased costs, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such amount shown as due on any such certificate on the next Payment Date after receipt thereof.

(e) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 2.09 for any increased costs or reductions

incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Borrower and the Collateral Manager of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Person’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 six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(f) Lending Office. Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the Borrower’s obligation to pay additional amounts to a Lender pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.09, such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation would reduce or obviate the obligations of the Borrower to make future payments of such additional amounts; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no material unreimbursed cost or material legal or regulatory disadvantage (as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such provision.

Section 2.10 Compensation; Breakage Payments. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Affected Person from time to time, on the Payment Dates (or the applicable date of prepayment) following such Affected Person’s written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amounts) in accordance with the Priority of Payments, for all reasonable and documented losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Affected Person to lenders of funds borrowed to make or carry an Advance bearing interest that was computed by reference to a Benchmark and any loss sustained by such Affected Person in connection with the re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits), which such Affected Person may sustain: (i) if for any reason (including any failure of a condition precedent set forth in Article III but excluding a default by the applicable Lender) a Borrowing of any Advance bearing interest that was computed by reference to such Benchmark by the Borrower does not occur on the Borrowing Date specified therefor in the applicable Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Borrower, (ii) if any payment, prepayment or conversion of any of the Borrower’s Advances bearing interest that was computed by reference to such Benchmark occurs on a date that is not a Payment Date, and (iii) if any payment or prepayment of any Advance bearing interest that was computed by reference to such Benchmark is not made on a Payment Date or pursuant to a Notice of Prepayment given by the Borrower; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts shall be due with respect to any payment of Advances made in connection with (i) curing any Borrowing Base Deficiency, (ii) a CLO Takeout (to the extent repaid within two (2) Business Days) or (iii) any payment required pursuant to Section 2.09. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.10 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender (with a copy to the Agents, and accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts and a description of the basis for requesting such amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.11 Illegality; Inability to Determine Rates

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event of a Disruption Event, then the affected Lender shall promptly notify the Agents and the Borrower thereof, and such Xxxxxx’s obligation to make or maintain Advances hereunder based on the applicable Benchmark shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Advances based on the applicable Benchmark.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to a Lender’s suspending its obligation to make or maintain Advances based on the applicable Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.11(a), such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation would enable such Lender to again make and maintain Advances based on such Benchmark; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no unreimbursed cost or material legal or regulatory disadvantage (as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such provision.

(c) If, prior to the first day of any Interest Accrual Period or prior to the date of any Advance, as applicable, either (i) the Administrative Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the applicable Benchmark, or (ii) the Required Lenders determine and notify the Administrative Agent that such Benchmark with respect to such Advances does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Advances, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Advances based on such Benchmark shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

(d) Upon receipt of any notice described in Section 2.11(a) or (c), the Borrower may revoke any pending request for the making or continuation of an Advance based on the Benchmark or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for an Advance based on the Base Rate. For the avoidance of doubt, no Advances shall be required to be repaid as a result of any circumstance or determination made pursuant to this Section 2.11.

Section 2.12 Fees

(a) Commitment Fee. On each Payment Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Collateral Agent (for the account of the Lenders on a pro rata basis) the Commitment Fee in the amount set forth in the Lender Fee Letter; provided that, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Commitment Fee (i) during any period in which any Lender or the Administrative Agent suspends the obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 2.11 or (ii) at any time to a Lender which is a Defaulting Lender.

(b) Prepayment Fee. If, at any time prior to the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Facility Amount is reduced in whole or in part at the option or election of the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Collateral Agent (for the account of the Lenders on a pro rata basis), a prepayment fee in the amount set forth in the Lender Fee Letter; provided that no prepayment fee shall be owed in connection with the termination or reduction of Commitment of any Defaulting Lender.

(c) Administrative Agent Fees. On each Payment Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as are mutually agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, including the fees set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter.

(d) Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator, Custodian and Securities Intermediary Fees. On each Payment Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary such fees as are mutually agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary, including the fees set forth in the Collateral Administration and Agency Fee Letter.

Section 2.13 Rescission or Return of Payment

The Borrower agrees that, if at any time (including after the occurrence of the Final Maturity Date) all or any part of any payment theretofore made by it to any Secured Party or any designee of a Secured Party is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates), the obligation of the Borrower to make such payment to such Secured Party shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence and this Agreement and any other applicable Facility Document shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such obligations, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 2.14 Default Interest

During the existence and continuance of an Event of Default arising pursuant to clause (a), clause (b) or clause (h) of Section 6.01, at the election of the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders (or, in the case of Section 6.01(h), automatically), all Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate until rescinded by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders.

Section 2.15 Payments Generally

(a) All amounts owing and payable to any Secured Party, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party, in respect of the Advances and other Obligations, including the principal thereof, interest, fees, indemnities, expenses or other amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Facility Document, shall be paid on behalf and at the direction of the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) by the Collateral Agent to the applicable recipient in an Eligible Currency in immediately available funds, on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and all without counterclaim, setoff, deduction, defense, abatement, suspension or deferment. Each Lender shall provide wire instructions to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent. Other than with respect to payments on a Payment Date, payments must be received by the Collateral Agent on or prior to 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day to be remitted by the Collateral Agent on such Business Day to the Lenders; provided that payments received by the Collateral Agent after 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day will be deemed to have been paid on the next following Business Day. At no time will the Collateral Agent have any duty (express or implied) to fund (or front or advance) any amount owing by the Borrower hereunder.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all computations of interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed in computing interest on any Advance, and the date of the making of the Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, that all computations of interest based on (x) the Base Rate shall be based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable and (y) Daily Compounded XXXXX shall be based on a year of 365 days; provided, further that, if an Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s Interest shall be paid on such Advance. All computations made by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Facility Document shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(i) For purposes of Section 9.01(a), any amounts on deposit in the Collection Account denominated in any Eligible Currency shall be applied on any Payment Date (i) first, to make payments in such Eligible Currency and (ii) second, to make payments in any other Eligible Currency (pro rata based on available amounts from each other Eligible Currency), as converted by the Collateral Manager using the Applicable Conversion Rate; provided that, such payments shall be subject to availability of such funds pursuant to Section 9.01(a).

(ii) The Collateral Manager shall instruct the Collateral Agent, no later than the Determination Date immediately preceding each Payment Date, to convert amounts on deposit in the Collection Account into Dollars to the extent necessary to make payments pursuant to Section 9.01(a), as applicable (as determined by the Collateral Manager using the Applicable Conversion Rate).

(iii) Any Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account denominated in an Eligible Currency may be converted by the Collateral Manager into another Eligible Currency on any Business Day (other than a Payment Date) using the Applicable Conversion Rate so long as such conversion does not cause Advances outstanding in any Eligible Currency to exceed the applicable Borrowing Base for such Eligible Currency immediately after giving effect thereto. The Collateral Manager shall provide no less than one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent of any such conversion.

Section 2.16 Defaulting Lenders

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(b), to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Xxxxxx’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 12.01.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; provided that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such amounts shall be applied to reduce the outstanding Obligations in accordance with the Priority of Payments; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.12(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances Outstanding to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Xxxxxx was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.17 Right of Setoff

The Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set-off that the Agents or any Lender may otherwise have, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default each of the Agents and the Lenders shall be entitled, at its option, to offset amounts owing by the Agents or such Lender, as the case may be, to the Borrower, in Dollars or in any other currency (irrespective of the place of payment or booking office of the obligation and regardless of whether such amounts are then due to the Borrower), against any amount payable by the Borrower to the Agents or such Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement that is not paid when due; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agents a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. For this purpose, any amount owing by the Agents or any Lender to the Borrower may be converted by the Agents or such Lender, as the case may be, into the currency in which the amount payable by the Borrower to the Agents or such Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement is denominated at the rate of exchange at which the Agents or such Lender, as the case may be, would be able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency.

Section 2.18 Lending Offices; Changes Thereto

Each Lender may at any time or from time to time designate, by written notice to the Administrative Agent to the extent not already reflected on Schedule 1, one or more domestic or foreign lending offices (which, for this purpose, may include branches or Affiliates of the respective Lender) for the various Advances made by such Lender (including by designating a separate lending office (or Affiliate) to act as such); provided that, for designations made after the Closing Date to the extent such designation shall result in increased costs under Section 2.09 or additional amounts under Section 12.03 in excess of those which would be charged in the absence of the designation of a different lending office (including a different Affiliate of the respective Lender), then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased costs or additional amounts (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay the costs or additional amounts which would apply in the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective designation). Each lending office and Affiliate of any Lender designated as provided above shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be treated in the same manner as the respective Lender (and shall be entitled to all indemnities and similar provisions in respect of its acting as such hereunder) and any designation of a lending office pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay any Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.19 Recourse Against Certain Parties

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement are limited recourse obligations of the Borrower (and not any of its Affiliates or any other party) payable solely from the Collateral in accordance with the Priority of Payments and, following realization of the Collateral, and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the Priority of Payments and, subject to Section 2.13, all obligations of and any claims against the Borrower hereunder or in connection herewith after such realization shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had against any officer, director, employee, shareholder, member, manager, agent, partner, principal or incorporator of the Borrower or their respective successors or assigns for any amounts payable under this Agreement. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.19 shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any Indebtedness or obligation evidenced by this Agreement until such Collateral has been realized. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.19 shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Borrower as a party defendant in any proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under this Agreement, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against the Borrower.

Section 2.20 Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that (i) any Affected Person shall request reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.09, (ii) the Borrower shall be required to reimburse any Affected Person for any Non-Excluded Taxes or pay any additional amounts to any Affected Person or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Affected Person pursuant to Section 12.03, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender under clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above that is not affiliated with the Administrative Agent, a “Potential Terminated Lender”) or (iv) any Lender does not give or approve any consent, waiver or amendment that requires the approval of all Lenders or all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof and has been approved by the Required Lenders (such non-consenting Lender, also, a “Potential Terminated Lender”), the Borrower, at its sole expense and effort, shall be permitted, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Potential Terminated Lender, to require such Potential Terminated Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.09 and 12.03) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Facility Documents to an assignee permitted pursuant to Section 12.06 (a “Replacement Lender”) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if such Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(A) such Potential Terminated 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 and under the other Facility Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.10 but subject to Section 2.17) from the Replacement Lender (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.09 or 12.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(D) in the case of an assignment based on clause (iv) above, the Replacement Lender shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

(b) Each Potential Terminated Xxxxxx hereby agrees to take all actions reasonably necessary, at the sole expense of the Borrower, to permit a Replacement Lender to succeed to its rights and obligations hereunder. Upon the effectiveness of any such assignment to a Replacement Lender, (i) such Replacement Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, (ii) the applicable Potential Terminated Lender shall have no further Commitment hereunder (such Person, a “Terminated Lender”) and (iii) such Replacement Lender shall have a Commitment in the amount not less than the Terminated Xxxxxx’s Commitment assumed by it.

(c) No Lender shall be required to make any assignment or delegation pursuant to Section 2.20(a) if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.21 Contractual Currency

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, if any judgment or order expressed in a currency other than the currency in which a payment is required by this Agreement is to be made by the Borrower (the “Contractual Currency”) is rendered:

(a) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement; or

(b) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment of any amount described in the foregoing clause (a),

the recipient of such payment, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which the recipient of such payment is entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive promptly from the Borrower the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual Currency received by the recipient of such payment as a consequence of sums being paid in such other currency if such shortfall arises or results from any variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which the recipient of such payment is able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by the recipient of such payment. The term “rate of exchange” includes any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the Contractual Currency.

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the obligations in this Section constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations in this Agreement and any related document, will be enforceable as separate and independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the recipient of such payment and will not be affected by judgment being obtained or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this Agreement or any related document. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby waives the right to invoke any defense of payment impossibility.

Section 2.22 Increase in Facility Amount

So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, from time to time prior to the Commitment Termination Date the Borrower may request one or more increases to the Facility Amount (up to, in the aggregate, $300,000,000) (each such increase, a “Facility Increase”) subject to satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

(i) the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) a written request for such Facility Increase (which may be by email);

119

Collateral Manager’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, including the exercise of rights set forth in Section 6.02(b), if and to the extent that the Collateral Manager has not complied with any direction given by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement within three (3) Business Days after the Business Day on which such direction was given to the Collateral Manager; provided that no such direction or lapse of time shall be required after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Collateral Manager Default. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.

(b) No person to whom this power of attorney is presented as authority for the Administrative Agent to take any action or actions contemplated by clause (a) shall inquire into or seek confirmation from the Borrower as to the authority of the Administrative Agent to take any action described below, or as to the existence of or fulfillment of any condition to the power of attorney described in clause (a), which is intended to grant to the Administrative Agent unconditionally the authority to take and perform the actions contemplated herein, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower irrevocably waives any right to commence any suit or action, in law or equity, against any person or entity that acts in reliance upon or acknowledges the authority granted under this power of attorney. The power of attorney granted in clause (a) is coupled with an interest and may not be revoked or canceled by the Borrower until all obligations of the Borrower under the Facility Documents have been Paid in Full and the Administrative Agent has provided its written consent thereto.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall only be exercisable after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Section 6.04 Sales

(a) Each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager recognizes that an Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof. Each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of being a private sale.

(b) Each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager further agrees that a breach of any of their covenants contained in this Section 6.04 will cause irreparable injury to the Agents, that the Agents have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.04 shall be specifically enforceable against the Borrower and the Collateral Manager, and each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that there has been a Payment in Full.

120

(c) Pursuant to the UCC, each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager hereby specifically agrees (x) that it shall not raise any objection to a Secured Party’s purchase of the Collateral (through bidding on the obligations or otherwise) and (y) that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in various no action letters promulgated by the SEC staff (1) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of the UCC and (2) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that a Secured Party purchases the Collateral at such a sale.

(d) Each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager agrees that the Collateral Agent shall not have any general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any Collateral sold by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement. The Collateral Agent may, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, among other things, accept the first bid received, or decide to approach or not approach any potential purchasers. Each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager hereby agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to conduct, and shall not incur any liability as a result of, the sale of any Collateral, or any part thereof, at any sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, it being agreed by the parties hereto that some or all of the Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily in value. The Borrower and the Collateral Manager hereby waive any claims against the Secured Parties arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any of the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Borrower’s obligations under the Agreement, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first bid received and does not offer any Collateral to more than one bidder. Without in any way limiting the Collateral Agent’s right to conduct a foreclosure sale in any manner which is considered commercially reasonable, each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager hereby agrees that any foreclosure sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale, and each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager hereby irrevocably waives any right to contest any such sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) the Collateral Agent conducts such foreclosure sale in the State of New York;

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

(iii) not more than thirty days before, and not less than five (5) Business Days in advance of such foreclosure sale, the Collateral Agent notifies the Borrower and the Collateral Manager at the address set forth herein of the time and place of such foreclosure sale.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Facility Document, in connection with any liquidation or disposition of the Collateral, including without limitation, upon the termination of the Commitments following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Equityholder or any of its Affiliates, any fund managed by the Equityholder or any of its Affiliates, and/or any third party designees shall have the right to purchase the Collateral subject to such liquidation or at a purchase price at least equal to the sum of the then accrued and outstanding Obligations, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. Any such party may exercise such right by delivering written notice to the Administrative Agent (an “Exercise Notice”) which shall include a proposed purchase price and be delivered not

121

later than three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of such Event of Default and termination of the Commitments, as applicable, and the intent of the Administrative Agent to liquidate or dispose of the Collateral, and which Exercise Notice shall set forth evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the Equityholder has access to sufficient capital to consummate such purchase in accordance with this clause (e). Once an Exercise Notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent, the delivering party (or its designated Affiliate or managed fund) shall be obligated, irrevocably and unconditionally, to purchase the Collateral, at the price referenced above, for settlement within the normal settlement period for such Collateral. The cash purchase price must be received no later than ten (10) Business Days following delivery of the Exercise Notice. Neither the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall assert any right or remedy in respect of the Collateral, including any right described in Section 6.02(b) or Section 7.03, or cause the removal of the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 14.08, or cause the liquidation or disposition of the Collateral Assets to occur, in each case during the time that the Equityholder and its Affiliates are entitled to provide an Exercise Notice and purchase the Collateral pursuant to this Section 6.04(e).

The Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that upon the sale or disposition of any Collateral by the Borrower in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the security interest of the Secured Parties in such Collateral shall immediately and automatically terminate without further act, the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide notice of the same to the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall, on behalf of the Secured Parties and at the expense of the Borrower, execute, deliver and authorize for filing such instruments as the Borrower shall prepare and reasonably request to reflect or evidence such termination.

124

Section 7.04 Remedies Cumulative

Each right, power, and remedy of the Agents and the other Secured Parties, or any of them, as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Agents or any other Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such Persons of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.

the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) may, by delivery of written instructions (which may be a .pdf or similar file sent by email) of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator, direct the Collateral Agent to, and upon receipt of such instructions the Collateral Agent shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Collection Account representing Principal Proceeds and remit such funds as so directed by the Collateral Manager to meet the Borrower’s funding obligations in respect of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Assets or Revolving Collateral Assets.

Section 8.03 The Payment Account

In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Bank one (1) segregated trust account, which shall be designated as the “Payment Account”, which shall be maintained by the Borrower with the Bank in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and which shall be subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent. The only permitted deposits to or withdrawals from the Payment Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All funds on deposit in the Payment Account will remain in un-invested.

Section 8.04 Reserved

Section 8.05 The Unfunded Reserve Account; Fundings

In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at State Street Bank and Trust Company one (1) segregated non-interest bearing trust account in the name of the Borrower, which shall be designated as the “Unfunded Reserve Account”, which shall be maintained by the Borrower with the Bank in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and which shall be subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent. The only permitted deposits to or withdrawals from the Unfunded Reserve Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

On the Acquisition Date of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Asset, Revolving Collateral Asset, and on any Payment Date, the Collateral Manager shall instruct the Collateral Agent to withdraw funds from the Collection Account for deposit into the Unfunded Reserve Account, to the extent required so that the amount of funds on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account is equal to the Unfunded Reserve Required Amount.

During the Reinvestment Period, fundings of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Assets and Revolving Collateral Assets shall be made using, first, amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account (in an amount equal to the amount on deposit therein with respect to such Delayed Drawdown Collateral Asset or Revolving Collateral Asset), then available Principal Proceeds and finally, borrowing of Advances under Section 2.01.

During the Amortization Period, Principal Proceeds received by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) in respect of Revolving Collateral Assets (to the extent not accompanied by a permanent reduction in the related commitments) shall be deposited by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) into the Unfunded Reserve Account to the extent the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account is less than the Unfunded Reserve Required Amount.

128

Amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account will be available solely to cover drawdowns on Delayed Drawdown Collateral Assets and Revolving Collateral Assets; provided that, to the extent that the aggregate amount of funds on deposit therein at any time exceeds the Unfunded Reserve Required Amount, the Collateral Agent shall remit such excess to the Collection Account.

Section 8.07 Account Control Agreement

The provisions of Sections 8.02 and 8.05 are subject to the terms of the Account Control Agreement.

Section 8.08 Funds in Covered Accounts; Reports by Collateral Agent

(a) By delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer (which may be in the form of standing instructions), the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) shall at all times direct the Collateral Agent to, and, upon receipt of such certificate, the Collateral Agent shall, invest all funds on deposit in the Collection Account and the Unfunded Reserve Account in Eligible Investments having stated maturities no later than the Business Day preceding the next Payment Date (or such shorter maturities expressly provided herein). If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Borrower shall not have given any such investment directions, the Collateral Agent shall seek instructions from the Collateral Manager within three (3) Business Days after transfer of any funds to such accounts and shall have no obligation to invest any funds until it shall receive written instructions from the Collateral Manager. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall invest and reinvest such funds as fully as practicable in Eligible Investments as described in clause (a) of the definition thereof or as otherwise directed by the Collateral Manager maturing not later than the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after the date of such investment (unless putable at par to the issuer thereof) or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date (or such shorter maturities expressly provided herein). Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise herein, all interest, gain, loss and other income from such investments shall be deposited, credited or charged (as applicable) in and to the Collection Account. Absent its timely receipt of such instruction from the Collateral Manager or Administrative Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall not be under an obligation to invest (or pay interest on) funds held hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall in no way be liable for any insufficiency in a Covered Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment.

(b) The Collateral Agent agrees to give the Borrower and the Collateral Manager prompt notice if any Covered Account or any funds on deposit in any Covered Account, or otherwise to the credit of a Covered Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. All Covered Accounts shall remain at all times with the Bank or any sub-custodian of the Bank.

129

(c) The Collateral Agent shall supply, in a timely fashion, to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager any information regularly maintained by the Collateral Agent that the Borrower or the Collateral Manager may from time to time reasonably request with respect to the Collateral Assets, the Covered Accounts and the other Collateral and provide any other requested information reasonably available to the Collateral Agent and required to be provided by Section 8.09 or to permit the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations hereunder or the Borrower’s obligations hereunder that have been delegated to the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Agent shall promptly forward to the Collateral Manager copies of notices, periodic financial reports and other writings received by it from the Obligor of any Collateral Asset or from any Clearing Agency with respect to any Collateral Asset.

Section 8.09 Accountings

(a) Monthly. As used herein, the “Monthly Report Determination Date” with respect to any calendar month will be the last calendar day of the prior calendar month. Not later than the fifteenth (15^th) Business Day after the Monthly Report Determination Date (commencing with the Monthly Report Determination Date in June 2024) (the “Monthly Reporting Date”), the Borrower shall compile and provide (or cause to be compiled and provided) (A) to the Administrative Agent and the Equityholder, a monthly report (each, a “Monthly Report”), which includes a Borrowing Base Calculation Statement prepared by the Collateral Manager and provided to the Collateral Administrator for inclusion in the Monthly Report, in accordance with this Section 8.09, and (B) to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Administrator, a loan data file (the “Data File”) for the previous monthly period ending on the Monthly Report Determination Date (containing such information agreed upon by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf), the Collateral Administrator and the Administrative Agent). The Monthly Report for a calendar month shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit I and shall contain the information with respect to the Collateral Assets and Eligible Investments included in the Collateral set forth in Schedule 2, and shall be determined as of the Monthly Report Determination Date for such calendar month.

(b) In addition, for each Monthly Report Determination Date immediately preceding a Payment Date, the Borrower shall provide in the related Monthly Report (or supplement thereto) an accounting determined as of the close of business on each Determination Date preceding a Payment Date.

(c) The Borrower shall provide a Borrowing Base Calculation Statement on any date that is not otherwise a Measurement Date within a reasonable amount of time following a request by the Administrative Agent for such Borrowing Base Calculation Statement; provided that the Administrative Agent may not make such a request more than once per month.

(d) Failure to Provide Accounting. If the Collateral Agent shall not have received any accounting provided for in this Section 8.09 on the first Business Day after the date on which such accounting is due to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall notify the Borrower, who shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such accounting by the applicable Payment Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower has engaged the Collateral Administrator pursuant to Article XV hereof to compile and provide the information and reports to be provided in this Section 8.09; provided, however, that the Collateral Administrator’s obligation to compile and provide such information and reports is subject to the receipt of the information necessary to do so from the Collateral Manager and the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.10 Release of Collateral

(a) If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, by delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Custodian one day prior to the settlement date for any sale of any item of Collateral certifying that the sale of such Collateral is being made in accordance with Section 10.01 and such sale complies with all applicable requirements of Section 10.01, direct the Collateral Agent (or the Custodian on its behalf) to release or cause to be released such item from the Lien of this Agreement and, upon receipt of such certificate, the Collateral Agent (or Custodian, as applicable) shall deliver any such item, if in physical form, duly endorsed to the broker or purchaser designated in such certificate or, if such item is a Clearing Corporation Security, cause an appropriate transfer thereof to be made, in each case against receipt of the sales price therefor as specified by the Collateral Manager in such certificate; provided that the Collateral Agent (or the Custodian on its behalf) may deliver any such item in physical form for examination in accordance with street delivery custom; provided, further, that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Custodian will be deemed to have notice of an Event of Default unless it has received notice thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a trade ticket or other confirmation of trade in respect of such sale of Collateral delivered by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) to the Collateral Agent and the Custodian shall constitute certification as to the matters described in this Section 8.10, and the Collateral Agent and the Custodian may conclusively rely on such certification.

(b) The Collateral Agent (or Custodian, as applicable) shall, upon the receipt of a certificate of the Borrower, by delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager, deliver any Collateral in accordance with such certificate, and execute such documents or instruments as are delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower and reasonably necessary to release or cause to be released such security from the Lien of this Agreement, which is set for any mandatory call or redemption or payment in full to the appropriate paying agent on or before the date set for such call, redemption or payment, in each case against receipt of the call or redemption price or payment in full thereof.

(c) As provided in Section 8.02(a), the Collateral Agent (and its designees) shall deposit any proceeds received by it from the disposition of a Collateral Asset in the Collection Account as instructed by the Collateral Manager, unless simultaneously applied to the purchase of additional Collateral Assets as permitted under and in accordance with the requirements of this Article VIII and Article X.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that there are no Commitments outstanding and all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Facility Documents have been Paid in Full, execute such documents or instruments as are delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower and reasonably necessary to release any remaining Collateral from the Lien of this Agreement.

131

(e) Any security, Collateral Asset or amounts that are released pursuant to Section 8.10(a) or (b) shall be automatically released from the Lien of this Agreement.

(f) Any direction received by the Collateral Agent or the Custodian, as applicable, on or prior to 3:30 (p.m.) on any Business Day shall be effective on such Business Day and any direction received by the Collateral Agent or the Custodian, as applicable, after 3:30 (p.m.) on any Business Day, or at any time on any day that is not a Business Day, shall be effective in each case on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 8.11 Reports by Independent Accountants

(a) The Collateral Manager will appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers or another independent audit or consulting firm specializing in securitization transactions (together with its successors, the “Independent Accountants”) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to review and deliver the reports of such accountants required by this Agreement. The fees of such Independent Accountants and any successor shall be payable by the Borrower.

(b) The Collateral Manager shall cause the Independent Accountants to furnish to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) within 120 days following the end of each fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2024 (each such date, a “Report Date”), a report relating to a selection of two (2) Monthly Reports (as agreed by the Collateral Manager and the Administrative Agent), delivered during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding such Report Date, to the effect that such firm has applied certain agreed-upon procedures approved by the Administrative Agent as of the Closing Date (it being understood that the Borrower shall cause such Independent Accountants to comply with updates to such agreed-upon procedures from time to time in response to reasonable requests of the Administrative Agent to the extent such the Borrower is able in good faith to cause such compliance without undue burden or expense) with respect to such reports from the related period and, with respect to the Collateral Manager’s performance hereunder, to assist the Administrative Agent in determining that the Monthly Reports for the related period were prepared in compliance with this Agreement, except for such exceptions as it believes to be immaterial and such other exceptions as will be set forth in such firm’s report (including, with respect to any such exceptions, an explanation of how each such exception arose and reflecting the input/explanation of the Collateral Manager thereto). Such reports pursuant to this clause (b) shall be at the expense of the Borrower.

(c) In the event the Independent Accountants require the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, to agree to the procedures performed by such Independent Accountants with respect to any of the reports, statements of such Independent Accountants, or sign any agreement in connection therewith, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, is hereby directed by the Borrower, to so agree to the terms and conditions requested by such Independent Accountants as a condition to receiving documentation required by this Agreement; it being understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall deliver such agreement in conclusive reliance on such direction and shall make no inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or responsibility in respect of, the terms of the engagement of such Independent Accountants by the Borrower or the sufficiency, validity or correctness of the agreed upon procedures in respect of such engagement.

132

The Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator may require the delivery of additional written direction to the execution of any such agreement required for the delivery of any report or statement of such Independent Accountants to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator under this Agreement. The Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator are hereby authorized, without liability on their part, to execute and deliver any such agreement with such Independent Accountants, which agreement, to the extent so directed by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower), may include, amongst other things, (i) an acknowledgement that the Borrower has agreed that the procedures by such Independent Accountants are sufficient for the relevant purposes, (ii) releases by the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator of any claims, liabilities and expenses arising out of or relating to such Independent Accountant’s engagement, agreed-upon procedures or any report or statement issued by such Independent Accountants under any such engagement and acknowledgement of other limitations of liability in favor of such Independent Accountants and (iii) restrictions or prohibitions on the disclosure of any such reports, statements or other information or documents provided to it by such Independent Accountants.

ARTICLE XI

THE AGENTS

Section 11.01 Authorization and Action

(a) Each Lender (and, in the case of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and, to the extent applicable, the other Facility Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, subject to the terms hereof. No Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Facility Documents to which it is a party or any fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties or obligations or liabilities on the part of such Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Facility Document to which such Agent is a party (if any) as duties on its part to be performed or observed. No Agent shall have or be construed to have any other duties or responsibilities in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Facility Documents, no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or, with respect to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent); provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes such Agent, in its judgment, to personal liability, cost or expense or which is contrary to this Agreement, the other Facility Documents or Applicable Law, or would be, in its judgment, contrary to its duties hereunder, under any other Facility Document or under Applicable Law. Each Lender agrees that in any instance in which the Facility Documents provide that the Administrative Agent’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld, provide for the exercise of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, or provide to a similar effect, it shall not in its instructions (or by refusing to provide instruction) to the Administrative Agent withhold its consent or exercise its discretion in an unreasonable manner.

(b) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any officer, agent or representative thereof shall be personally liable for any action taken by any such Person in accordance with any notice given by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Facility Document even if, at the time such action is taken by any such Person, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders or Persons purporting to be the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders are not entitled to give such notice, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of the same or unless the Collateral Agent acts in breach of its standard of care hereunder. If any dispute or disagreement shall arise as to the allocation of any sum of money received by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any Facility Document, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver such sum to a court of competent jurisdiction and therein commence an action for interpleader.

142

(c) If in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action, it may request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it. If the Collateral Agent does not receive such instructions within five (5) Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action. The Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with instructions received after such five (5) Business Day period except to the extent it has already, in good faith, taken or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions.

(d) Instructions to Collateral Agent.

(i) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action unless it has such instruction (in the form of Proper Instructions) from the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, as it reasonably deems necessary. In the absence of gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any action (or forbearance from action) taken pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or pursuant to any Proper Instruction of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable.

(ii) Whenever the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to receive or obtain any communications or information pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement, it shall be entitled to receive the same in writing, in form, content and medium reasonably acceptable to it and otherwise in accordance with any applicable term of this Agreement; and whenever any report or other information is required to be produced or distributed by the Collateral Agent it shall be in form, content and medium reasonably acceptable to it and the Borrower, and otherwise in accordance with any applicable term of this Agreement.

(iii) In case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, request written instructions from the Collateral Manager and may, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, request written instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received written instructions from the Collateral Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Collateral Agent shall, in the absence of gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct by the Collateral Agent, have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the written instruction of the Administrative Agent.

(e) General Standards of Care for the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding any terms herein contained to the contrary, the acceptance by the Collateral Agent of its appointment hereunder is expressly subject to the following terms, which shall govern and apply to each of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (whether or not so stated therein):

(i) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of any fact, claim or demand with respect hereto unless actually known by a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent or unless (and then only to the extent) received in writing by the Collateral Agent and specifically referencing this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of any notices, documents, instruments or reports delivered or

143

prepared by the Collateral Administrator. The Collateral Agent is not responsible for or chargeable with knowledge of any terms or conditions contained in any other agreement to which it is not a party referred to herein. It is hereby acknowledged that the Collateral Agent shall have no 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 by any Person under any Facility Document or Related Document.

(ii) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action (or forbear from action) hereunder which might in its judgment involve any expense or any financial or other liability unless it shall be furnished with acceptable indemnification. Nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Agent to commence, prosecute or defend legal proceedings in any instance, whether on behalf of the Borrower or on its own behalf or otherwise, with respect to any matter arising hereunder, or relating to this Agreement or the services contemplated hereby.

(iii) The permissive right of the Collateral Agent to take any action hereunder shall not be construed as a duty.

(iv) The Collateral Agent may act or exercise its duties or powers hereunder through agents or attorneys-in-fact, and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for the actions, omissions, negligence or misconduct of any such agent or attorney-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

(v) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to determine the Interest Rate or whether an asset is an Eligible Collateral Asset or otherwise satisfies any eligibility requirements hereunder. None of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator shall be under any obligation to (i) monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of the applicable Benchmark or Benchmark Replacement, the Prime Rate, Federal Funds Rate or other Base Rate, or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or determine whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, or (iii) determine whether or what Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing. None of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator shall be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Agreement or other Facility Document to the extent such inability, failure or delay is a result of the unavailability of any Benchmark (or other applicable rate) and absence of a designated Benchmark Replacement, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or other Facility Document and reasonably required for the performance of such duties.

144

(vi) If at any time the Collateral Agent is served with any judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process (including orders of attachment or garnishment or other forms of levies or injunctions or stays relating to the transfer of any Collateral), the Collateral Agent is authorized to comply therewith in any manner as it or its legal counsel of its own choosing deems appropriate, and if the Collateral Agent complies with any such judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person even though such order, judgment, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect.

(vii) The Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss which may result from any investment or sale of investment made pursuant to this Agreement. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized, in making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Agreement, to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its affiliates, whether it or any such affiliate is acting as agent of the Collateral Agent or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to be providing any investment supervision, recommendations, or advice.

Section 11.02 Delegation of Duties

(a) Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Facility Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 11.02(a), the Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time designate one or more of its Affiliates to execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Facility Document.

Section 11.03 Agents’ Reliance, Etc.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Collateral Manager or any of their Affiliates) and independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by such Agent in good faith in accordance with such opinion and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Secured Party or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any Person for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Facility Documents; (iii) shall not have any duty to monitor, ascertain, or investigate as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, any Related Document or any notice, consent, certificate, instruction or

145

waiver, report, statement, opinion, direction or other instrument or writing on the part of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, perfection, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Collateral (or the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens on the Collateral), this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, any Related Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document by relying on, acting upon (or by refraining from action in reliance on) any notice, consent, certificate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowing Base Calculation Statement), instruction or waiver, report, statement, opinion, direction, electronic communication or other instrument or writing (which may be delivered by email, if acceptable to it) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed or sent by the proper party or parties; (vi) shall not be responsible to any Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties regarding the Borrower or the Collateral or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of thereof or any such other document or the financial condition of any Person or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions related to any Person or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; and (vii) shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any Person to assure that any collateral exists or is owned by any Person or is cared for, protected or insured or that any liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available with respect thereto. No Agent shall have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for the Borrower’s, the Collateral Manager’s, any Lender’s, or any other Person’s, as the case may be, performance of, or failure to perform, any of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Facility Document.

(b) No Agent shall be liable for the actions or omissions of any other Agent (including concerning the application of funds), or under any duty to monitor or investigate compliance on the part of any other Agent with the terms or requirements of this Agreement, any Facility Document or any Related Document, or their duties hereunder or thereunder. Each Agent shall be entitled to assume the due authority of any signatory and genuineness of any signature appearing on any instrument or document it may receive (including each Notice of Borrowing received hereunder). No Agent shall be liable for any action taken in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action (including for refusing to exercise discretion or for withholding its consent in the absence of its receipt of, or resulting from a failure, delay or refusal on the part of the Required Lenders (or with respect to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent) to provide, written instruction to exercise such discretion or grant such consent from the Required Lenders (or with respect to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent), as applicable). No Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless it is proven by a non-appealable court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the relevant facts or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct. Nothing herein or in

146

No Agent shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action. No Agent shall be charged with knowledge or notice of any matter unless actually known to a Responsible Officer of such Agent, or unless and to the extent written notice of such matter is received by such Agent at its address in accordance with Section 12.02. Any permissive grant of power to an Agent hereunder shall not be construed to be a duty to act. Neither Agent shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper or document. Neither Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except in the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.

(c) No Agent shall be responsible or liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control; provided that such Agent takes commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance after the cessation of such acts. Such acts shall include acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations imposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters.

The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver the other Facility Documents to which it is a party. Whether or not expressly stated in such Facility Documents, in performing (or refraining from acting) thereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights, benefits, protections and indemnities which are afforded to it in this Agreement.

(e) Each Lender acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Agent has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by either Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Secured Party as to any matter. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon such Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Facility Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the Facility Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager. Neither Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or Collateral Manager which may come into the possession of such Agent.

147

Section 11.04 Indemnification

Each of the Lenders (on a pro rata basis based on its percentage of the Commitments) agrees to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent harmless (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to Section 12.04 or otherwise) from and against any and all Liabilities which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent for any portion of such Liabilities resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, further, that each Lender shall be fully liable to the Administrative Agent for gross negligence and willful misconduct. The rights of the Administrative Agent and obligations of the Lenders under or pursuant to this Section 11.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and the earlier removal or resignation of the Administrative Agent hereunder.

Section 11.05 Successor Agents

(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 11.05, each Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, resign as Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. In addition, if at any time Citibank, N.A.’s Percentage of Advances is less than fifty-one (51%), so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice, remove Citibank, N.A. as Administrative Agent. If an Agent shall resign or be removed, then the Required Xxxxxxx shall appoint a successor agent. If for any reason a successor agent is not so appointed and does not accept such appointment within thirty (30) days of notice of resignation or removal, such Agent may appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction at the Borrower’s expense to appoint, a successor agent; provided that no such successor agent may be a Defaulting Lender without the prior written consent of the Borrower.

(b) Any successor Administrative Agent and any successor Collateral Agent shall be a U.S. Person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America or an Affiliate of such bank and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1 (as in effect on the date hereof). The appointment of any successor Agent shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the consent of the Borrower to any such appointment shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing. Any resignation or removal of an Agent shall be effective upon the appointment of a successor agent pursuant to this Section 11.05. After the effectiveness of any retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents and the provisions of this Article XI shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents.

148

(c) Subject to the terms of this Section 11.05(c) the Administrative Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Collateral Manager, the Equityholder, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, remove and discharge the Collateral Agent from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents for cause at any time. If the Collateral Agent shall be removed pursuant to this Section 11.05(c), then the Administrative Agent during such thirty (30) day period shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent. The appointment of any successor Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c) shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Required Lenders. If the Collateral Agent is removed pursuant to this Section 11.05(c), the Collateral Agent shall be removed in all other capacities in which it serves under this Agreement and under any of the other Facility Documents, but not in its capacities as Administrative Agent or Lender, if applicable. Any removal of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c) shall be effective upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c) and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor. After the effectiveness of any removal of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c), the Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents (but not in its capacities as Administrative Agent or Lender, if applicable) and the provisions of this Article XI and Section 11.05(c) shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents. In the event a successor Xxxxxxxxxx Agent shall not be appointed within such thirty (30) day period, the Collateral Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction at the Borrower’s expense for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.

Section 11.06 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Agents

Any organization or entity into which any Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any organization or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Agent shall be a party, or any organization or entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of such Agent, shall be the successor of such Agent hereunder and any other Facility Document to which it is a party, without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

Section 11.07 Erroneous Payments

(a) (i) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, Secured Party or other recipient that is an affiliate thereof that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such recipient (whether or not known to such recipient) (any such funds whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; a distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment” and any such recipient, an “Unintended Recipient”) and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Unintended Recipient shall promptly, but

149

in no event later than one 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, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Unintended Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(ii) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto and each Secured Party shall not assert any right or claim to the Payment, and hereby waives, 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 waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(iii) A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Unintended Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) If an Unintended Recipient 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 or calculation statement sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”),

(ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or

(iii) that such Unintended Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or mistake (in whole or in part) or such Payment is otherwise inconsistent with such recipient’s or market expectations,

in each case, an error shall be presumed to have been made with respect to such Payment absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary. Upon demand from the Administrative Agent, such Unintended Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than one 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.

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, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 12.01(c).

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if a then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or 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 not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, may modify the definition of “Interest Accrual Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, may modify the definition of “Interest Accrual Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to any then-current Benchmark, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for an Advance in the applicable currency during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and (B) all Advances in such currency shall bear interest at the Base Rate. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period for any then-current Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon such Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(vi) Disclaimer. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, XXXXX, Term SOFR or other rates in the definition of “Applicable Reference Rate”, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any

152

such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, XXXXX, Term SOFR, any other rates in the definition of “Applicable Reference Rate” or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, XXXXX, any other rates in the definition of “Applicable Reference Rate”, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, XXXXX, any other rates in the definition of “Applicable Reference Rate” or any other Benchmark, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, 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 Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in the Facility Documents as a result of the unavailability of any interest rate hereunder and absence of a designated Base Rate or Benchmark Replacement, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of the Facility Documents and reasonably required for the performance of such duties.

Section 12.02 Notices, Etc.

Unless otherwise specified in a notice sent or delivered in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.02, notices, demands, instructions and other communications in writing shall be given to or made upon the respective parties hereto at their respective addresses (or to their respective email addresses) indicated in Schedule 6 (or, if not provided on Schedule 6 with respect to any party, such address or email address provided in writing by such party to the Administrative Agent), and, in the case of telephonic instructions or notices, by calling the telephone number or numbers indicated for such party in Schedule 6 (or, if

153

Each party shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any changes in the address, telephone number or email address to which notices to such Person should be directed, and of such other administrative information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, when any notice is sent or delivered to the Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, reasonable efforts shall be made to also send a copy of such notice to the Collateral Manager.

(b) Each of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian and the Collateral Administrator hereby agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement sent by unsecured e-mail (or .pdf files of executed documents) or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided that any person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, an incumbency certificate listing such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If any party hereto elects to give any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable or e-mail (or .pdf files of executed documents), the Collateral Agent’s, the Custodian’s or the Collateral Administrator’s understanding of such instructions actually received by any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, shall be deemed controlling in the event that such instructions are ambiguous; provided that prior to acting in response to any such instructions that it deems to be ambiguous, the Collateral Agent, Custodian or Collateral Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to contact the instructing party and obtain from such instructing party any necessary clarifications with respect to such instructions. Each of the other parties hereto understands and agrees that none of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator can determine the identity of the actual sender of such instructions and that the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to it have been sent by such officer. The other parties hereto shall be responsible for ensuring that only authorized officers transmit such instructions to the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator and that each such party is solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by it. None of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator shall be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Collateral Agent’s, the Custodian’s or the Collateral Administrator’s, as applicable, reasonable, good faith reliance upon and compliance with such instructions, notwithstanding that such directions conflict with or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction, subject to the duty of care applicable to such Person acting in such capacity. Each of the other parties hereto agrees (i) to assume all risks arising out of its respective use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, including without limitation the risk of any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties, (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting instructions to the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting instructions than the method(s) selected by it, (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances and (iv) to notify the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

154

(c) By executing this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree, and direct the Collateral Agent, the Custodian and the Collateral Administrator to acknowledge and agree and the Collateral Agent, the Custodian and the Collateral Administrator do hereby acknowledge and agree, that execution of this Agreement, any instruction, direction, notice, form or other document executed by any party to this Agreement or the Facility Documents in connection with this Agreement or such other Facility Documents, by electronic signatures (whether by Xxxxx, Adobe Fill & Sign, Adobe Sign, DocuSign, or any other similar platform identified by such party and reasonably available at no undue burden or expense to the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Collateral Administrator) shall be permitted hereunder notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and such electronic signatures shall be legally binding as if such electronic signatures were handwritten signatures. Any electronically signed document delivered via email from a person purporting to be a Responsible Officer shall be considered signed or executed by such Responsible Officer on such party’s behalf. To the extent received from a Responsible Officer, the parties hereto also hereby acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent, the Custodian and the Collateral Administrator shall have no duty to inquire into or investigate the authenticity or authorization of any such electronic signature and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such electronic signature without any liability with respect thereto.

Section 12.03 Taxes

(a) Any and all payments by, or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Facility Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, then the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall pay on the following Payment Date the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is a Non-Excluded Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower 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 Secured Party receives an amount (such amount, an “Additional Amount”) equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay (or at the option of the Administrative Agent, reimburse it for the payment of) on the following Payment Date any present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording or filing Taxes or any other or similar Taxes that arise from any payment made hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Facility Document, or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes or under any other Facility Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (collectively, the “Other Taxes”).

155

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, each Secured Party for (i) the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 12.03) paid or payable by any Secured Party (or required to be withheld or deducted from payments to a Secured Party) and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability will be promptly delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or other Secured Party and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes pursuant to this Section 12.03, the Borrower will furnish to each Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof (or other evidence of payment as may be reasonably satisfactory to such Agent).

(e) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund (for this purpose, including credits elected by such party in lieu of a refund) of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 12.03 (including by the payment of Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 12.03), 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 (e) (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 (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or Additional Amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(f) Each Secured Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement or any Facility Document shall deliver to the Borrower and each Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Secured Party, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or any Agent, shall deliver such other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent as will enable the Borrower or such Agent to determine whether or not such Secured Party is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the

156

completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in sub-clauses (A), (B) and (D) of Section 12.03(f)(i)) shall not be required if, in the Secured Party’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Secured Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Secured Party.

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing.

(A) any Secured Party that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agents on or prior to the date on which such Secured Party becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agents), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Secured Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Lender that is not a “United States person” under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agents (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party to under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or an Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Non-U.S. 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 Facility Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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 Facility Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

(3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(C)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

157

(4) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agents (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or Agents), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Agents to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Secured Party under any Facility Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Secured Party 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 Secured Party shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agents at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agents such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agents as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agents to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Secured Party has complied with such Secured Party’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 Secured Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agents in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Nothing in this Section 12.03 shall be construed to require any Secured Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

158

(h) Each Lender shall severally indemnify each Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified such Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.06(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by such Agent in connection with any Facility 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 applicable Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes each Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Facility Document or otherwise payable by such Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to such Agent under this clause (h).

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 12.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of an Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Facility Documents.

(j) For purposes of this Section, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

Section 12.04 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification

(a) The Borrower agrees to promptly pay on written demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator in connection with the preparation, review, negotiation, reproduction, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, including (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to) the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent plus, if necessary, one additional local counsel, one outside counsel for the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator, one additional local counsel, if necessary for the Collateral Agent, and one outside counsel and one additional local counsel, if necessary for the Custodian, for costs and expenses of creating, perfecting, releasing or enforcing the Collateral Agent’s security interests in the Collateral, including filing and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, UCC filing fees, and the equivalent thereof in any foreign jurisdiction, and all other related fees and expenses in connection therewith, and in connection with the administration and any modification or amendment of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Facility Document and advising the Agents, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator as to their respective rights, remedies and responsibilities.

Without prejudice to its rights hereunder, the expenses and the compensation for the services of the Secured Parties are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable insolvency Law.

159

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, managers of, and any Person controlling any of, the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Liabilities that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party (limited, solely in the case of Liabilities owing to the Administrative Agent in respect of attorney’s fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one outside counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction), in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of the execution, delivery, enforcement (including the enforcement of this Section 12.04), performance, administration of or otherwise arising out of or incurred in connection with this Agreement, any other Facility Document, any Related Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or the use of proceeds of any Advance (and regardless of whether or not any such transactions are consummated) and regardless of whether or not arising out of a suit, claim or other action brought by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Equityholder or any third party, except (A) to the extent any such Liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) with respect to the Collateral Agent, Custodian, Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary, the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or (ii) with respect to any other Indemnified Party, the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, any of its Affiliates or the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, managers of, and any Person controlling any of, the foregoing or (B) in the case of any Indemnified Party (other than the Custodian, Collateral Administrator, Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, managers or controlling Persons) to the extent any such Liability results from a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnified Party for a material breach of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Facility Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final, non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s equityholders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party hereto. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party (or, in the case of a threatened proceeding, could reasonably have been expected to be a party if such proceeding had been brought) and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (i) does not include a statement as to or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any such Indemnified Party or (ii) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Signature pages provided in the form of a “pdf” or similar imaged document transmitted by electronic transmission (including .jpeg file or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, including Orbit, Adobe Sign, DocuSign, or any other similar platform identified by the Borrower and reasonably available at no undue burden or expense to the Collateral Administrator, Custodian or Collateral Agent) shall be deemed original signatures for all purposes hereunder.

Section 12.06 Assignability

(a) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 12.06, each Lender may, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (it being understood that the Borrower’s failure to consent to an assignment to a Competitor shall not be deemed unreasonable)) and the Administrative Agent, assign to any Person all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Advances Outstanding or interests therein owned by it, together with ratable portions of its Commitment); provided that such consent shall be deemed to have been granted by the Borrower if the Borrower shall not have objected in writing within seven (7) Business Days of receipt of any such request for consent; provided, further, that:

(i) neither the Borrower’s nor the Administrative Agent’s consent to any such assignment shall be required if the assignee is (A) a Lender or any of its Affiliates or (B) managed by a Lender or any of its Affiliates (so long as such assignee is not a Competitor);

(ii) the Borrower’s consent to any such assignment pursuant to this Section 12.06(a) shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided that in no event shall an assignment be made to a Competitor without the Borrower’s prior written consent unless an Event of Default arising pursuant to clause (a), clause (b) or clause (h) of Section 6.01 shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(iii) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender may make an assignment to any Person (other than a Competitor) with notice to, but without the consent of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent if such Xxxxxx makes a reasonable determination that its ownership of any of its rights or obligations hereunder is prohibited by Applicable Law;

161

provided that, the Administrative Agent shall not disclose any information to a Competitor after the Collateral Manager notifies the Administrative Agent that it has determined in good faith to be competitively sensitive, including without limitation, portfolio company financials, internal credit memos, investment committee memos and any proprietary analysis or similar information prepared by the Collateral Manager or any of its affiliates.

The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance, to the Borrower) an Assignment and Acceptance and the applicable tax forms required by Sections 12.03(f), together with administrative details for the applicable assignee (if such assignee is not a current Lender or an Affiliate of Citibank, N.A.). Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.06(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement, and to the extent of the interest assigned by such assigning Lender, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.06, (x) no assignment may be made to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Equityholder or any of their respective Affiliates and (y) no assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender, a natural person or any Person that, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (y).

(b) The Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of (but with notice to) the Borrower, sell participations to Participants in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person other than a Competitor; provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Borrower, the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary 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 (D) each Participant shall have agreed to be bound by this Section 12.06(c), Section 12.06(e), Section 12.09 and Section 12.16. Any agreement 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. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09 and 12.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 12.03(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 12.03(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment under clause (a) of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.09 or 12.03, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.20 with respect to any Participant.

162

(ii) In the event that any Lender sells participations in any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder, such Xxxxxx as non-fiduciary agent for the Borrower shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Advances held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Advance which is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). An Advance may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each Note, if any, shall expressly so provide). No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any rights and obligations hereunder) to any Person except to the extent necessary to establish that such rights and obligations are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1 of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of and acting solely for this purpose as the non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address specified in Section 12.02 or such other address as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Lenders, a copy of this Agreement, each signature page hereto, each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names, addresses and wiring instructions of the Lenders and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances Outstanding maintained by each Lender under this Agreement (and any stated interest thereon). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender and the owner of the amounts owing to it under the Facility Documents as reflected in the Register for all purposes of the Facility Documents. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. An Advance (and a Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each Note with respect to the Advances, if any, shall expressly so provide) and compliance with this Section 12.06.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Facility Document and each Lender hereunder, and each Participant, must at all times be an “accredited investor” as defined in paragraphs (1), (2), (3), and (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”) and a “qualified purchaser” as defined in the Investment Company Act (a “Qualified Purchaser”). Each Lender severally represents to the Borrower, (i) on the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (whether by being a signatory hereto or by entering into an Assignment and Acceptance) and (ii) on each date on which it makes an Advance hereunder, that it is an Accredited Investor and a Qualified Purchaser.

163

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.06, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or security interest granted to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 12.18 Reserved

Section 12.19 Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

To the extent that the Facility Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for hedging agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”) the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Facility Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Lender that is party to a Supported QFC (each a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in the property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S.

169

Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(c) Custodian. The Custodian shall take and retain custody of the Loan Files delivered by the Borrower hereunder in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, in order to perfect under the UCC the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein for the benefit of the Secured Parties. In taking and retaining custody of the Loan Files, the Custodian shall be deemed to be acting as the agent of Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties; provided that the Custodian makes (a) no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility for the enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Collateral Assets and (b) no representation as to the existence, perfection or priority of any lien on the Collateral Assets or the Required Loan Documents. It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Custodian is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Collateral Assets.

Section 13.02 Duties of Custodian. From the Closing Date until its removal or resignation pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Custodian shall perform, on behalf of the Secured Parties, the following duties and obligations.

Section 13.03 Delivery of Collateral Assets to Custodian

(a) The Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) shall deliver, or cause to be delivered (which may be via email, except for the original Underlying Note, if any) promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of receipt) to the Custodian all of the Loan Files for each Collateral Asset owned by the Borrower at any time during the term of this Agreement at the address identified herein; provided, however, that all documents (other than the original Underlying Notes) shall be transmitted in electronic format and the Custodian shall only be required to retain the original Underlying Note, if any. The Custodian shall not be responsible for any Collateral Asset or related Loan File until actually received by it. The Custodian shall notify the Collateral Administrator of the Custodian’s receipt of any sealed envelopes described in Section 5.01(o) purporting to contain any original assignment of any Collateral Asset or any original executed Underlying Note with respect to any Collateral Asset. In connection with each delivery of a Loan File to the Custodian, the Borrower shall represent and warrant that the Loan Files delivered to the Custodian are, to its knowledge, complete in all material respects.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, delivery of the Collateral Assets acquired by the Borrower which constitute Noteless Loans or which are otherwise not evidenced by a “security” or “instrument” as defined in Section 8-102 and Section 9-102(a)(47) of the UCC, respectively, shall be made by delivery to the Custodian of a copy of the loan register with respect to such Noteless Loan evidencing registration of such Collateral Asset on the books and records of the applicable Obligor or bank agent to the name of the Borrower (or its nominee) or a copy (which may be an email copy) of an assignment agreement in favor of the Borrower as assignee.

(c) In the absence of gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of the Custodian, the Custodian may assume the genuineness of any document in a Loan File it may receive and the genuineness and due authority of any signatures appearing thereon, and shall be entitled to assume that each document it may receive is what it purports to be on its face. If an original “security” or “instrument” as defined in Section 8-102 and Section 9-102(a)(47) of the UCC, respectively, is or shall be or become available with respect to any Collateral Asset to be held by the Custodian under this Agreement, it shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrower to make or cause delivery thereof to the Custodian, and the Custodian shall not be under any obligation at any time to determine whether any such original “security” or “instrument” has been or is required to be issued or made available in respect of any Collateral Asset or to compel or cause delivery thereof to the Custodian.

171

From and after its receipt of a Block Notice, the Custodian shall only comply with Requests for Release and Receipt and Proper Instructions from the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) or Administrative Agent. In the absence of receipt of the Block Notice, the Custodian may conclusively assume that there is no Event of Default unless it has actual knowledge of such occurrence.

Section 13.05 Records

The Custodian shall create and maintain complete and accurate records relating to its activities under this Agreement with respect to the Collateral Assets or other property of the Borrower held for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties under this Agreement.

Section 13.07 Certain General Terms

(a) No Duty to Examine Related Documents.

(b) Resolution of Discrepancies. In the event of any discrepancy between the information set forth in any report provided by the Custodian to the Borrower and any information contained in the books or records of the Borrower, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Borrower) shall promptly notify the Custodian thereof and the parties shall cooperate to diligently resolve the discrepancy.

(c) Improper Instructions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Custodian shall not be obligated to take any action (or forebear from taking any action), which it reasonably determines to be contrary to the terms of this Agreement or Applicable Law. In no instance shall the Custodian be obligated to provide services on any day that is not a Business Day.

The Collateral Manager shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party (or, in the case of a threatened proceeding, could reasonably have been expected to be a party if such proceeding had been brought) and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (i) does not include a statement as to or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any such Indemnified Party, or (ii) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(a) The Collateral Administrator shall assist the Borrower and the Collateral Manager in connection with monitoring the Collateral by maintaining a database on certain characteristics of the Collateral on an ongoing basis and providing to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager (and, where applicable, the Borrower’s independent public accountants) certain reports, schedules, calculations all as more particularly described in this Section 15.02 below (in each case, such reports, schedules and calculations shall be prepared in such form and content, and in such greater detail, as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto from time to time and as may be required by the Agreement) based upon information and data received from the Borrower and/or the Collateral Manager, as required to be prepared and delivered (or which are necessary to be prepared and delivered in order that certain other reports, schedules and calculations can be prepared and delivered) under Article VIII of this Agreement. The Collateral Administrator’s duties and authority to act as Collateral Administrator hereunder are limited to the duties and authority specifically provided for in this Agreement. The Collateral Administrator shall not be deemed to assume the obligations of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager hereunder or any other Facility Document, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to release, terminate, discharge, limit, reduce, diminish, modify, amend or otherwise alter in any respect the duties, obligations or Liabilities of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager under or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Facility Document. Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Administrator shall perform the following functions:

(i) create a collateral database of certain characteristics (to the extent required for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and otherwise as reasonably agreed to between the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Manager) of the Collateral Assets and Eligible Investments credited from time to time to the Covered Accounts (the “Collateral Database”); within five (5) Business Days of the Closing Date;

(ii) permit access to the information in the Collateral database by the Collateral Manager and the Borrower;

(iii) update the Collateral Database promptly for ratings changes and for Collateral Assets, Equity Securities and Eligible Investments acquired or sold or otherwise disposed of and for any amendments or changes to Collateral Asset amounts or interest rates and, if direct online viewing access to the foregoing is unavailable, report any updates as of the close of business on the preceding Business Day to the Collateral database to the Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. on each Business Day, in each case based upon, and to the extent of, information furnished to the Collateral Administrator by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager as may be reasonably required by the Collateral Administrator, or by the agents for the obligors from time to time;

(iv) track the receipt and daily allocation of cash to the Collection Account and any withdrawals therefrom (including the applicable Interest Rates provided to the Collateral Administrator by the Administrative Agent) and, if direct online viewing access to the foregoing is unavailable, report the balances of the Collection Account to the Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. on each Business Day as of the close of business on the preceding Business Day;

186

(v) draft and make available to the parties required under this Agreement each of the Monthly Reports which are required to be provided pursuant to Section 8.09(a) of this Agreement by the time specified in this agreement and on the basis of the information contained in the Collateral Database or as provided to the Collateral Administrator by the Borrower, Collateral Manager or Administrative Agent; and

(vi) provide the Collateral Manager with such other information as may be reasonably requested in writing by the Collateral Manager and as is within the possession of the Collateral Administrator.

(b) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Collateral Administrator from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct or fraud, except that:

(i) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section 15.02;

(ii) the Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Administrator, unless it shall be proven that the Collateral Administrator was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct;

(iii) no provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial or other liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it unless such risk or liability relates to the performance of its ordinary services under this Agreement; and

(iv) in no event shall the Collateral Administrator be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) even if the Collateral Administrator has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of such action.

(c) Upon request of the Collateral Administrator, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager shall cooperate with the Collateral Administrator in connection with the matters described herein, including calculations and information relating to the Monthly Reports or as otherwise reasonably requested hereunder. Nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Administrator to determine independently the correct characterization or categorization of any item of Collateral under this Agreement (it being understood that any such characterization or categorization shall be based exclusively upon the determination and notification received by the Collateral Administrator from the Collateral Manager). To the extent the Collateral Manager becomes actually aware that the information with respect to any Collateral Asset in any report, instruction or certificate required to be delivered by the Collateral Administrator conflicts with information, data or calculations in the records of the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager shall notify the Collateral Administrator of such discrepancy and use commercially reasonable

187

efforts to assist the Collateral Administrator in reconciling such discrepancy. The Collateral Administrator shall cooperate with the Collateral Manager in connection with the Collateral Manager’s review of the contents of the aforesaid reports, instruction and certificates and will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such items to the Collateral Manager within a reasonably sufficient time (as agreed between the Collateral Manager and the Collateral Administrator) prior to any applicable due date to enable such review.

(d) The Collateral Administrator shall have no obligation to determine the Asset Value or the price of any Collateral in connection with any actions or duties under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall prevent the Collateral Administrator or any of its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or from rendering services of any kind to any Person.

(e) The Collateral Administrator shall in no event have any liability for the actions or omissions of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent, the Custodian (but only if not the same Person as the Collateral Administrator) or any other Person, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in any duty performed by it that results from or is caused by inaccurate, untimely or incomplete information or data received by it from the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Custodian (but only if not the same Person as the Collateral Administrator) or another Person except to the extent that such inaccuracies or errors are caused by the Collateral Administrator’s own willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud. The Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for failing to perform or any delay in performing its specified duties hereunder which results from or is caused by a failure or delay on the part of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent, the Custodian (but only if not the same Person as the Collateral Administrator) or any other Person in furnishing necessary, timely and accurate information to the Collateral Administrator.

(f) It is expressly acknowledged by the Borrower and the Collateral Manager that application and performance by the Collateral Administrator of its various duties hereunder (including recalculations to be performed in respect of the matters contemplated hereby) shall be based upon, and in reliance upon, data and information provided to it by the Collateral Manager (and/or the Borrower) with respect to the Collateral, and the Collateral Administrator shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of any such information or data provided to it by such Persons. Nothing herein shall impose or imply any duty or obligation on the part of the Collateral Administrator to verify, investigate or audit any such information or data, or to determine or monitor on an independent basis whether any obligor under the Collateral is in default or in compliance with the underlying documents governing or securing such securities, from time to time, the role of the Collateral Administrator hereunder being solely to perform certain mathematical computations and data comparisons and to provide certain reports and other deliveries, as provided herein. For purposes of monitoring changes in ratings, the Collateral Administrator shall be entitled to use and rely (in good faith) exclusively upon one or more reputable electronic financial information reporting services, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracies in the information reported by, or other errors or omissions of, any such services.

188

(g) Nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Administrator to determine independently any characteristic of a Collateral Asset, or to evaluate or verify the Collateral Manager’s characterization of any Collateral Asset, including whether any item of Collateral is a Revolving Collateral Asset, Delayed Drawdown Collateral Asset, Fixed Rate Obligation, Noteless Loan, PIK Loan, High Cash Pay PIK Loan, Low Cash Pay PIK Loan, DIP Loan, Eligible Collateral Asset, Ineligible Collateral Asset, Equity Security, Private Credit Loan, MRR Loan, First Lien Last Out Loan, Floor Obligation, Broadly Syndicated Loan, Second Lien Loan, Structured Finance Obligation, Certificated Security, Covenant Lite Loan or Uncertificated Security, any such determination being based exclusively upon notification the Collateral Administrator receives from the Collateral Manager or from (or in its capacity as) the Collateral Agent (based upon notices received by the Collateral Agent from the obligor, trustee or agent bank under an underlying governing document, or similar source) and nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Administrator to review or examine any underlying instrument or contract evidencing, governing or guaranteeing or securing any Collateral Asset in order to verify, confirm, audit or otherwise determine any characteristic thereof.

Section 15.03 Certain Rights of Collateral Administrator

Notwithstanding any terms herein contained to the contrary, the acceptance by the Collateral Administrator of its appointment hereunder is expressly subject to the following terms, which shall govern and apply to each of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (whether or not so stated therein):

The Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed hereunder, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action.

(g) The permissive right of the Collateral Administrator to take any action hereunder shall not be construed as a duty.

(j) All indemnifications contained in this Agreement in favor of the Collateral Administrator shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(k) Each of the protections, reliances, indemnities and immunities offered to the Collateral Agent in Article XI shall be afforded to the Collateral Administrator.

190

office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted by any Person under any Facility Document or Related Document. The Collateral Administrator shall not be responsible to any Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties regarding the Borrower or the Collateral or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of thereof or any such other document or the financial condition of any Person or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions related to any Person or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.
