SALE AND PURCHASE OF THE CONVEYED COLLATERAL

Section 2.1. Sale and Purchase of the Conveyed Collateral.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date and each Purchase Date thereafter, the Seller hereby agrees to (i) sell, assign and otherwise convey (collectively, “Sell” and any such sale, assignment and/or other conveyance, a “Sale”), to the Purchaser, without recourse, and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase, all right, title and interest of the Seller (whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and wherever located) in and to the Sale Portfolio designated by the Seller and (ii) transfer to, or cause the deposit into, the Collection Account of all Interest Proceeds, Principal Proceeds and/or other Monies received by the Seller on account of any Sale Portfolio hereunder on and after the Purchase Date with respect to such Sale Portfolio and required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to the Indenture, in each case, within two Business Days of the receipt thereof. The Seller hereby acknowledges that each Sale to the Purchaser hereunder is absolute and irrevocable, without reservation or retention of any interest whatsoever by the Seller.

(b) The Seller shall on each Purchase Date execute and deliver to the Purchaser a proposed Loan Assignment identifying the Sale Portfolio to be Sold by the Seller to the Purchaser on such Purchase Date. From and after such Purchase Date, the Sale Portfolio listed on Schedule I to the related Loan Assignment shall be deemed to be listed on Schedule I hereto and constitute part of the Sale Portfolio hereunder.

(c) On and after each Purchase Date hereunder and upon payment of the Purchase Price therefor, the Purchaser shall own the Sale Portfolio Sold by the Seller to the Purchaser on such Purchase Date, and the Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership and shall not claim any ownership interest in such Sale Portfolio.

(d) In connection with each Purchase of any Sale Portfolio hereunder, the Seller shall cause to be Delivered to the Custodian (with a copy to the Trustee), the Underlying Instruments and other Assets related to the Collateral Obligations that are a part of such Sale Portfolio being Sold by the Seller in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

(e) In connection with the Purchase by the Purchaser of any Sale Portfolio as contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller further agrees that it shall, at its own expense, indicate clearly and unambiguously in its computer files on or prior to each Purchase Date, and its financial statements, that such Sale Portfolio has been purchased by the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement.

(f) The Seller further agrees to deliver to the Purchaser on or before each Purchase Date a computer file containing a true, complete and correct list of all Collateral Obligations to be Sold hereunder on such Purchase Date, identified by the related Obligor’s name and Principal Balance as of the related Cut-Off Date. Such file or list shall be marked as Schedule I to the applicable Loan Assignment and shall be delivered to the Purchaser as confidential and proprietary, and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of Schedule I to this Agreement, as such Schedule I may be supplemented and amended from time to time.

Section 2.2. Purchase Price.

The purchase price for (a) the Sale Portfolio Sold on the Closing Date to the Purchaser and (b) each Sale Portfolio Sold after the Closing Date to the Purchaser (collectively, the “Purchase Price”) shall be the value thereof as determined by the board of directors of the Seller in accordance with the 1940 Act (but in no event at less than fair market value). The Purchase Price paid in connection with the transfer of the Sale Portfolio from the Seller to the Purchaser shall consist of (i) Cash paid by the Purchaser to the Seller on the date hereof and (ii) a Contribution made by the Seller to the Purchaser in respect of the Interests or (iii) solely in the case of the transfer of the Sale Portfolio from the Seller to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, a beneficial interest in all of the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes issued by the Purchaser on the date hereof. To the extent that such Cash and such Class C Notes and Class D Notes so paid on the date hereof is less than the Purchase Price of the Sale Portfolio purchased on the Closing Date, the difference shall be deemed a capital contribution from the Seller to the Purchaser in respect of the Interests the Seller holds in the Purchaser on the date hereof. After the Closing Date, to the extent the cash paid for any Sale Portfolio is less than the fair market value thereof, the difference will be deemed to be a capital contribution made by Seller to the Purchaser in respect of the Interests the Seller holds in the Purchaser.

The Purchase Price paid for any Sale Portfolio acquired by the Purchaser on any Purchase Date pursuant to this Agreement may be paid in a combination of (i) immediately available funds and/or (ii) a capital contribution by the Seller to the Purchaser.

Section 2.3. Sales to the Seller. Subject to any applicable provisions of Section 12.3 of the Indenture, the Purchaser may, from time to time, sell, assign or otherwise convey any Collateral Obligation included in the Conveyed Collateral to the Seller and such sale, assignment or conveyance shall be effected in accordance with the requirements of the Collateral Management Agreement on terms no less favorable to the Issuer than would be the case if such Person were not so Affiliated; provided that in the case of any Collateral Obligation sold or otherwise transferred to a Person so Affiliated, the value thereof shall be the mid-point between the “bid” and “ask” prices provided by a nationally recognized independent pricing service or, if unavailable or determined by the Collateral Manager to be unreliable, the fair market value of such Collateral Obligation as reasonably determined by the Collateral Manager (so long as the Collateral Manager is a Registered Investment Adviser) consistent with the Collateral Manager Standard, and such Affiliate shall acquire such Collateral Obligation for a price equal to the value so determined; provided further that an aggregate amount of Collateral Obligations not exceeding 15% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance may be sold or otherwise transferred to the Seller at a price greater than the value determined pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso, but not greater than the Transfer Deposit Amount (and to the extent such price exceeds the fair market value of any such Collateral Obligation, such excess shall be deemed to be a capital contribution from the Seller to the Purchaser). Upon any such sale, assignment or conveyance of a Collateral Obligation, such Collateral Obligation shall be deemed removed from Schedule I hereto.

Section 2.4. Nature of the Sales.

(a) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Sale of any Sale Portfolio by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder be, and be treated for all purposes (other than for accounting and tax purposes) as, an absolute sale by the Seller (free and clear of any Lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance other than Permitted Liens) of such Sale Portfolio. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such Sale be deemed a pledge of any such Sale Portfolio by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, any such Sale Portfolio is held to continue to be property of the Seller, then the parties hereto agree that: (i) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be, and hereby is, a “security agreement” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC; (ii) the transfer of any such Sale Portfolio provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Sale Portfolio and all amounts payable to the holders of the Sale Portfolio in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including, without limitation, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account and the Revolver Funding Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of such Sale Portfolio together with all of the other obligations of the Seller hereunder; (iii) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of such Sale Portfolio and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be, subject to clause (iv), for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC; and (iv) acknowledgements from Persons holding such property shall be deemed acknowledgements from custodians, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The parties further agree in such event that any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in any Sale Portfolio, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority (subject only to Permitted Liens) under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Purchaser shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

(b) It is the intention of each of the parties hereto that each Sale Portfolio Sold by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute assets owned by the Purchaser and shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy or similar law.

(c) The Purchaser agrees to treat, and shall cause the Seller to treat, for all purposes (other than for accounting and tax purposes), the transactions effected by this Agreement as sales of assets to the Purchaser.

Section 2.5. Delivery of Documents.

The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, solely for administrative convenience, any transfer document or assignment agreement (or, in the case of any Underlying Instrument that is in the form of a note, any chain of endorsement) required to be executed and delivered in connection with the transfer of a Collateral Obligation in accordance with the terms of any related Underlying Instruments may reflect that (i) an affiliate of the Seller (or any third party from whom the Seller or the Purchaser may purchase a Collateral Obligation) is assigning such Collateral Obligation directly to the Purchaser or (ii) the Purchaser is acquiring such Collateral Obligation at the closing of such Collateral Obligation. Nothing in any such transfer document or assignment agreement (or, in the case of any Underlying Instrument that is in the form of a note, nothing in such chain of endorsement) shall be deemed to impair the transfers of the Collateral Obligations by the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.6. Interim Amounts Accruing Prior to Settlement.

Certain Collateral Obligations may be purchased by the Seller from a third party or an affiliate and subsequently Sold to the Purchaser hereunder, which such Collateral Obligations may settle directly from such third party or affiliate as set forth in Section 2.5. Such Collateral Obligations may accrue interest or receive principal payments during the time after such acquisition by the Seller but before such conveyance to the Purchaser hereunder. Any such amounts (the “Interim Amounts”) may be paid directly to the Purchaser from such third party seller or affiliate (which such payment may be in the form of an adjustment to the purchase price paid at settlement) and, in such instances, shall be deemed to constitute a capital contribution from the Seller to the Purchaser.

ARTICLE III.

CONDITIONS OF SALE AND PURCHASE

Section 3.1. Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be effective upon the receipt by the Purchaser of a copy of this Agreement duly executed by each of the parties hereto.

Section 3.2. Conditions Precedent to All Purchases. Each Purchase to take place on a subsequent Purchase Date hereunder shall be subject to the further conditions precedent that the Purchaser shall have received a duly executed and completed Loan Assignment along with a Schedule I that is true, accurate and complete in all respects as of the related Cut-Off Date.

FORM OF LOAN ASSIGNMENT

LOAN ASSIGNMENT NO. ____, dated as of ____, from Xxxxx Capital Investment Corporation (the “Seller”) to Xxxxx Capital Investment Corporation CLO 2016 LLC (the “Purchaser”).

(A) We refer to the Loan Sale Agreement, dated as of August 16, 2016 (such agreement as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Agreement”), by and between the Seller and the Purchaser.

(B) Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

(C) Designation of Collateral Obligations. Seller delivers herewith a computer file or microfiche list or other documentation containing a true and complete list of the Collateral Obligations Sold and assigned hereunder, identified by account number, the related Obligor and Principal Balance as of the Cut-Off Date. Such computer file, microfiche list or other documentation shall be as of the date of this Loan Assignment incorporated into and made part of this Loan Assignment and is marked as Schedule I hereto.

(D) The Seller does hereby Sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby Purchases from the Seller, all right, title and interest of the Seller (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) in the Collateral Obligations identified on Schedule I hereto and all related Assets with respect thereto (the “Sale Portfolio”).

(E) This Loan Assignment is made without recourse but on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser is accepting this Loan Assignment in reliance on the representations, warranties and covenants of the Seller contained in the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party. The undersigned Responsible Officer of the Seller hereby certifies to the Purchaser, the Trustee and the other Secured Parties that all of the representations and warranties in Section 4.2 of the Agreement are true, accurate and complete as of the Cut-Off Date.

(F) Ratification of the Agreement. The Agreement is hereby ratified, and all references to the “Loan Sale Agreement,” to “this Agreement” and “herein” shall be deemed to be a reference to the Agreement as supplemented by this Loan Assignment. Except as expressly amended hereby, all the representations, warranties, terms covenants and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unamended and shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and except as expressly provided herein shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with or consent to non—compliance with any term or provision of the Agreement.

Ex. A-1

(G) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Sale of any Sale Portfolio by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder be, and be treated for all purposes (other than for accounting and tax purposes) as, an absolute sale by the Seller (free and clear of any Lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance other than Permitted Liens) of such Sale Portfolio. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such Sale be deemed a pledge of any such Sale Portfolio by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, any such Sale Portfolio is held to continue to be property of the Seller, then the parties hereto agree that: (i) the Agreement shall also be deemed to be, and hereby is, a “security agreement” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC; (ii) the transfer of any such Sale Portfolio provided for hereunder shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Sale Portfolio and all amounts payable to the holders of the Sale Portfolio in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including, without limitation, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account and the Revolver Funding Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of such Sale Portfolio together with all of the other obligations of the Seller hereunder; (iii) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of such Sale Portfolio and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be, subject to clause (iv), for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC; and (iv) acknowledgements from Persons holding such property shall be deemed acknowledgements from custodians, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The parties further agree in such event that any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if the Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in any Sale Portfolio, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority (subject only to Permitted Liens) under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Purchaser shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under the Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

(H) THIS LOAN ASSIGNMENT NO. ___ SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS.
