ARTICLE II

SECURED LOANS; PAYMENTS

Section 2.1 Commitment of Each Lender. (a) Each Initial Lender shall, on the Closing Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, severally, but not jointly, make a term loan (each a “Class A-L Loan” and all Class A-L Loans herein referred to as the “Secured Loans”) to the Borrower in a principal amount equal to the Initial Principal Amount set forth on Schedule 1.

(b) On the Closing Date, the proceeds of the Secured Loans will be provided as instructed by the Borrower. Each Secured Loan shall be denominated in Dollars. Subject to the terms hereof and the Priority of Payments, the Borrower may from time to time prepay the Secured Loans without premium or penalty in accordance with Section 2.3(b); provided that the Borrower may not borrow or re-borrow any Secured Loans after prepayment or repayment thereof.

Section 2.2 Borrowing Procedure. Borrowings under the Secured Loans shall be made in accordance with this Section 2.2.

(a) Funding of the Borrowings. Not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Closing Date, each Initial Lender shall pay the amount requested in relation to the funding of its Class A-L Loan in Dollars and in immediately available funds to the Collateral Trustee in accordance with the Borrowing Request. The Collateral Trustee shall apply such amounts as directed by the Borrower on the Closing Date.

(b) Additional Borrowings. On any Business Day, the Borrower may, in accordance with the conditions set forth in Section 2.4 of the Indenture and in connection with an issuance of additional Debt pursuant thereto, borrow under Additional Loans. Such Additional Loans shall be subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.4 of the Indenture, and may only be borrowed (i) if such conditions have been met and (ii) if the making of such Additional Loans and the principal amount thereof is specified in a Conforming Amendment to this Agreement that is acknowledged by the Loan Agent and the Collateral Trustee. The opportunity to act as Lender

-3-

with respect to such Additional Loans will, to the extent reasonably practicable, be provided first to the existing Lenders in such amounts as are necessary to preserve their pro rata share of the Secured Loans. If a Person that was not previously a party to this Agreement extends any such Additional Loan, it will be required to be made a party to this Agreement by executing the amendment reflecting the terms of such Additional Loans and adding such Person as a Lender hereunder. The terms of such Additional Loans must be identical to the terms of the Initial Loans except that the interest due on Additional Loans will accrue from the date such Additional Loan is made and Additional Loans may have a different interest rate than the Initial Loans; provided that the spread over the Benchmark of any such Additional Loan will not be greater than the spread over the Benchmark applicable to the Initial Loans. This Agreement will be amended to reflect the terms of any Additional Loans in accordance with Section 7.11(b).

Section 2.3 Principal Payments and Prepayments.

(a) Principal Payments. Unless principal on a Secured Loan becomes due and payable at an earlier date by acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, all unpaid principal of the Secured Loans shall be due and payable on the Stated Maturity. In addition, the Borrower shall make payments of unpaid principal of each Secured Loan on each Payment Date after the Reinvestment Period to the extent provided in the Priority of Payments. Any such payments of principal will be paid to the Loan Agent for payment to the Lenders in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(b) Prepayments. Subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture, on any Payment Date or Redemption Date, prepayments of principal may be made on the Secured Loans in the event of redemptions or prepayments pursuant to the Indenture, including in connection with a Mandatory Redemption, Special Redemption, Clean-Up Call Redemption, Optional Redemption (including, without limitation, a Refinancing) or Tax Redemption. Any such prepayments will be paid to the Loan Agent for payment to the Lenders in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(c) Secured Loans that are prepaid in connection with an Optional Redemption, Clean-up Call Redemption or Tax Redemption will receive the Redemption Price of such Secured Loans, in each case, in accordance with the Indenture.

Section 2.4 Interest.

(a) Interest on the Secured Loans shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(b) Interest due and payable on each Secured Loan on each Payment Date will be an amount calculated for the related Interest Accrual Period equal to the product of (i) the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of such Secured Loan on the preceding Payment Date (after giving effect to payments of principal made on such preceding Payment Date and all prior Payment Dates), (ii) the Benchmark for the Interest Accrual Period plus the Applicable Margin and (iii) the actual number of days during the Interest Accrual Period divided by 360. The Benchmark with respect to any Interest Accrual Period (or portion thereof) shall be determined as provided in the Indenture. To the extent lawful and enforceable, interest shall accrue on any interest that remains unpaid and is due and payable on any Payment Date at the same rate applicable to unpaid principal for each Interest Accrual Period.

-4-

(c) Unless otherwise directed in writing by the Loan Agent (at the direction of the applicable Lender or Lenders required by Section 2.6), the Borrower shall make all payments of interest to the Loan Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with Section 2.6.

(d) The Lenders hereby consent to the initial appointment of the Collateral Administrator under the Indenture to serve as the Calculation Agent under this Agreement. All computations of interest hereunder shall be made by the Calculation Agent (with reasonable assistance from the Collateral Manager) in accordance with Section 2.4(b) hereof and Section 7.16 of the Indenture.

(e) In no event shall the rate of interest applicable to any Secured Loan exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 2.5 Re-Pricing of the Secured Loans. The Secured Loans may not be re-priced.

Section 2.6 Method and Place of Payment. (a) To the extent that funds are available pursuant to the Priority of Payments, all payments by the Borrower in respect of Secured Loans hereunder and all fees hereunder shall be made in Dollars. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, unless otherwise directed in writing by the Loan Agent (acting at the written direction of 100% of the Lenders) to the Collateral Trustee, all payments under this Agreement shall be made to the Loan Agent for the ratable (based on their applicable Percentages) account of the Lenders entitled thereto (which funds, if delivered to the Loan Agent, the Loan Agent shall promptly forward to such Lenders), on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds to the account with the wire instructions specified in Schedule 1 (or in the Assignment Agreement, as applicable). Each Lender may direct the Loan Agent to direct the Borrower to make payments directly to such Lender or as otherwise designated by such Lender; provided that the Borrower shall not be bound to make such payments directly to such Lender until directed in writing by the Loan Agent. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall accrue during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension. For the avoidance of doubt, all payments by the Borrower of principal and interest in respect of Secured Loans, or any other amounts owed to a Lender hereunder, payable on a Payment Date shall be made to the Lender of record identified in the Loan Register; provided that if all or a portion of the Secured Loan has been assigned pursuant to Section 7.4(c) below since the first date of the corresponding Interest Accrual Period, the Loan Agent shall allocate payments in respect of such Secured Loan to the assignor of such Secured Loan and the assignee of such Secured Loan based on the actual number of days on which such assignor and assignee were registered, respectively, as the Lender in the Loan Register during such Interest Accrual Period.

(b) The Loan Agent shall establish a segregated non-interest bearing account in the name of the Loan Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (the “Lender Account”) to which payments made by the Borrower for payment of Secured Loans shall be deposited upon receipt for further payment to the Lenders. Amounts in the Lender Account shall remain uninvested.

-5-

(c) The Lender Account shall be established and maintained (a) with a federal or state chartered depository institution having a long term debt rating of at least “A” and a short term debt rating of at least “A-1” by S&P (or a long term debt rating of at least “A+” by S&P if such institution has no short term rating) or (b) in segregated trust accounts with the corporate trust department of a federal or state chartered depository institution having a long term debt rating of at least “BBB+” by S&P and is subject to regulations regarding fiduciary funds on deposit similar to Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 9.10(b), and if such institution’s rating falls below the ratings required by clause (a) or (b) above, as applicable, the assets held in such Account shall be moved within 30 calendar days to another institution that has ratings that satisfy such requirements. Such institution shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$200,000,000.

Section 2.7 Subordination.

(a) Incorporation of Subordination Provisions of the Indenture. All Secured Loans incurred pursuant to this Agreement are subject to, and each Lender hereby consents and agrees to, the subordination and remedy provisions set forth in Article XIII of the Indenture. Article XIII of the Indenture shall be binding upon each Lender as if such article (and the corresponding defined terms) had been set forth herein in its entirety.

(b) Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of its Secured Loans are subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Indenture. Each Lender hereby agrees and acknowledges that its right to any payment shall be subordinate and junior to certain other payment obligations senior in right of payment as provided in the Priority of Payments (collectively, the “Senior Items”). In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture, any Lender shall have received any payment or distribution in respect of its Secured Loans contrary to the provisions of the Indenture or this Agreement, then, unless and until each Senior Item shall have been paid in full in Cash (or, to the extent permitted under the Indenture other than in Cash), such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of, and shall forthwith be paid over and delivered to, the Collateral Trustee, which shall pay and deliver the same in respect of such Senior Items in accordance with the Indenture. If any such payment or distribution is made other than in Cash, it shall be held by the Collateral Trustee as part of the Assets and subject in all respects to the provisions of the Indenture. Each Lender agrees for the benefit of all recipients of Senior Items that such Lender shall not demand, accept, or receive any payment or distribution in respect of its Secured Loans in violation of the provisions of the Indenture. Nothing in this Section 2.7(b) shall affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Lenders hereunder.

(c) Loan Agent Entitled to Assume Payment Not Prohibited in Absence of Notice. The Loan Agent shall not at any time be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Loan Agent unless and until a Trust Officer of the Loan Agent responsible for the administration of this Agreement has actual knowledge thereof or unless and until the Loan Agent shall have received and accepted (in its role as Loan Agent) written notice thereof from the Borrower (in the form of an Officer’s certificate

-6-

reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Agent), the Collateral Trustee, or persons representing themselves to be other holders of Debt and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Loan Agent, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, shall be entitled in all respects conclusively to assume that no such fact exists, and the Loan Agent shall have no liability hereunder for any payment made, or action taken, by it without such knowledge or notice.

Section 2.8 Lender Reporting Obligations.

(a) Each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to treat the Class A-L Loans as indebtedness of the Borrower for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes and will take no action inconsistent with such treatment unless required by law.

(b) Each Lender agrees that it will timely furnish the Borrower, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or their respective agents with any tax forms or certifications (including, without limitation, an IRS Form W-9 in the case of a Lender that is a United States Tax Person or an applicable IRS Form W-8 (together with all applicable attachments) in the case of a Lender that is not a United States Tax Person, or any successors to such IRS forms) that the Borrower, the Loan Agent or their respective agents reasonably request in order to (A) make payments to the beneficial owner without, or at a reduced rate of, deduction or withholding, (B) qualify for a reduced rate of withholding or deduction in any jurisdiction from or through which they receive payments, and (C) satisfy reporting and other obligations under the Code, Treasury Regulations, or any other applicable law or regulation (including any cost basis reporting obligation), and will update or replace such tax forms or certifications in accordance with their terms or subsequent amendments. Such Lender shall be deemed to acknowledge that the failure to provide, update or replace any such tax forms or certifications may result in the imposition of withholding or backup withholding on payments to such Lender, or to the Borrower. Amounts withheld by the Borrower or its agents that are, in their sole judgment, required to be withheld pursuant to applicable tax laws will be treated as having been paid to such Lender by the Borrower.

(d) Each Lender shall be deemed to have agreed that it will provide the Borrower and the Loan Agent with certifications necessary to establish that it is not subject to withholding tax under FATCA, and to correct and update such information as necessary.

(e) Each Lender agrees that no Class A-L Loans may be transferred by a Person from which the Borrower is disregarded as separate for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless Tax Advice is delivered to the Loan Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Manager, to the effect that any Class A-L Loans so transferred will be characterized as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes immediately following such transfer.

(f) Such Lender represents that, if it is not a United States Tax Person, it agrees that it either (i) is (A) not a bank (or an entity affiliated with a bank) extending credit pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code); (B) not a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower (or, for so long as the Preferred Shares are held by a single beneficial owner, such beneficial owner of the Preferred Shares) within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) of the Code; and (C) not a “controlled

-7-

foreign corporation” that is related to the Borrower (or, for so long as the Preferred Shares are held by a single beneficial owner, such beneficial owner of the Preferred Shares) within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; (ii) has provided an IRS Form W-8ECI representing that all payments received or to be received by it from the Borrower are effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business within the United States and includible in its gross income; or (iii) has provided an IRS Form W-8BEN-E representing that it is eligible for benefits under an income tax treaty with the United States that eliminates U.S. federal income taxation of U.S. source interest not attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States.

(g) Each Lender, if it is not a United States Tax Person, is not, and will not be, a member of an “expanded group” (within the meaning of the Section 385 Rules) that includes a domestic corporation (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) if (i) such domestic corporation, directly or indirectly (through one or more entities that are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as partnerships, disregarded entities, or grantor trusts), owns Preferred Shares and (ii) (A) the Borrower is a “controlled partnership” (within the meaning of the Section 385 Rules) with respect to such expanded group or (B) the Borrower is an entity disregarded as separate from either such domestic corporation or an entity that is treated as a “controlled partnership” (within the meaning of the Section 385 Rules) with respect to such expanded group; provided that such beneficial owner may acquire Class A-L Loans in violation of this restriction if it provides the Borrower with an opinion of nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Manager, to the effect that the acquisition or transfer of Class A-L Loans will not cause such Loans to be recharacterized as equity under the Section 385 Rules.

Section 2.9 Treatment as Class A Debt. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Class A-L Loans shall comprise and be a part of the Class A Debt and, as such, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture applicable to the Class A Debt, and shall have the rights afforded in the Indenture to the Class A Debt (to the extent applicable to the Class A-L Loans).

Section 2.10 Conversion. The Lenders may not convert or exchange any portion of the Secured Loans into Notes.

-10-

Department of State (collectively, “Sanctions”), or (ii) located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions (including Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria).

The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve continued compliance with applicable Sanctions, the FCPA and any other applicable anti-corruption laws.

The Borrower will maintain in effect policies and procedures designed to promote compliance by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, and its directors, officers, employees, and agents with applicable Sanctions and with the FCPA and any other applicable anti-corruption laws.

In relation to each Lender that notifies the Loan Agent to this effect and State Street Bank International GmbH (each a “Restricted Lender”), each representation, warranty and undertaking in the Credit Documents shall only apply for the benefit of that Restricted Lender to the extent that such representation, warranty or, as the case may be, undertaking would not result in (i) any violation of, conflict with or liability under EU Regulation (EC) 2271/96 or (ii) a violation or conflict with section 7 foreign trade rules (AWV) (Außenwirtschaftsverordnung) (in connection with section 4 paragraph 1 a no. 3 foreign trade law (AWG) (Außenwirtschaftsgesetz)) or a similar anti-boycott statute. In connection with any amendment, waiver, determination or direction relating to any representation, warranty or undertaking in respect of which a Restricted Lender does not have the benefit, the Secured Loans of that Restricted Lender will be excluded for the purpose of determining whether the consent of the Lenders has been obtained or whether the determination or direction by the Lenders has been made.

(a) Each Lender hereby designates and appoints the Loan Agent as its agent under the Collateral Documents and each Lender by entering into this Agreement hereby irrevocably authorizes the Loan Agent to act in accordance with the explicit provisions of the Collateral Documents and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Loan Agent, subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture and the other Collateral Documents.

(i) the Loan Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer of the Loan Agent, unless it shall be proven that the Loan Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(ii) the Loan Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager in accordance with this Agreement and/or, to the extent permitted under this Agreement, the Lenders, relating to the time, method and place of exercising any power conferred upon such Loan Agent under this Agreement;

(iii) no provision of this Agreement shall require the Loan Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial 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 hereunder; and

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

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow the Loan Agent and the Lenders to identify the Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

Such authorization shall not prevent the Loan Agent from contesting any such tax in appropriate Proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such Proceedings. The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to any Debt shall be treated as Cash distributed to the relevant Lender at the time it is withheld by the Loan Agent. If there is a reasonable possibility that withholding is required by applicable law with respect to a distribution, the Loan Agent may, in its sole discretion,

-21-

withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 6.13.

Nothing herein shall impose an obligation on the part of the Loan Agent to determine the amount of any tax or withholding obligation on the part of the Borrower or in respect of the Debt.

Any payments made pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be made on the first Payment Date that funds are available for such payments as Administrative Expenses in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

The Loan Agent shall provide a copy of any notice or written communication received from a Lender to the Collateral Trustee, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager.

The Loan Agent will forward to each Lender each notice received under the Indenture for forwarding to the Lenders.

(b) The Bank (in each of its capacities) shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Transaction Document and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Borrower and the Lenders, as applicable, shall provide to the Bank an incumbency certificate listing officers (or, in the case of the Borrower, any other Person who is authorized to act for the Borrower in matters relating to, and binding upon, the Borrower) with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Borrower and the Lenders as applicable, whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Borrower and the Lenders as applicable, elects to give the Bank Instructions using Electronic Means and the Bank in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Bank’s reasonable understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Borrower and the Lenders understand and agree that the Bank cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Bank shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Bank have been sent by such Authorized Officer.

The Borrower and the Lenders agree: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Bank, including without limitation the risk of the Bank 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 Bank and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Borrower and the Lenders as applicable; (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 Bank immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of such security procedures. “Electronic Means” shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Bank, or another method or system specified by the Bank as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any agreement or document related thereto, any report, statement or other information required to be provided by the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee or the Loan Agent may be provided by providing access to the Collateral Trustee’s website containing such information.

(B) no Lender shall transfer, grant or assign any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the Stated Maturity of any Secured Loan in which such participant is participating or waive any prepayment thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof, (y) release all or substantially all of the Assets (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents), or (z) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (except as provided in Section 4.11 of this Agreement) and with respect to any consent referred to in this clause (B), notice of such consent is provided to the Loan Agent; and

No consent of the Borrower shall be required for any assignment by a Lender to (x) an Affiliate of such Lender, (y) another Lender or (z) to a Section 13 Banking Entity.

(c) Each assignment pursuant to Section 7.4(c) shall be effected by the assigning Lender and the assignee Lender executing an Assignment Agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”), which Assignment Agreement shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A (appropriately completed); provided that, in each case, unless otherwise consented to by the Borrower, the Assignment Agreement shall contain a representation and warranty by the assignee to the Loan Agent and the Borrower that such assignee is an Approved Lender. In the event of (and at the time of) any such assignment, either the assigning Lender or the assignee Lender shall pay to the Loan Agent a nonrefundable assignment fee of $3,500.

Each Lender and the Borrower agrees to execute such documents (including amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (to the extent authorized to do so under such Credit Documents)) as shall be necessary to effect the foregoing. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Secured Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank.

(d) The Loan Agent shall be permitted to request such evidence reasonably satisfactory to it documenting the identity and/or signature of the assignor and the assignee, including a medallion signature guarantee.

Section 7.5 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower or any other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

-25-

Section 7.6 Payments Pro Rata. (a) The Loan Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Secured Loans hereunder and pursuant to the Indenture, it shall distribute such payment to each Lender pro rata, based on its Percentage of the Secured Loans with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, its Secured Loans or fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such amount then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such amount then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender shall hold such amounts in trust for the applicable Lender and return such amounts to the Loan Agent for distribution to the applicable Lender as soon as reasonably practicable.

(a) The Borrower hereby appoints the Loan Agent to maintain the loan register (the “Loan Register”) at one of its offices in the United States on which it shall record the names and addresses of each Lender, the Initial Loans and any Additional Loans (and assignments, principal amounts and stated interest thereof) made by each such persons and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of such Secured Loans.

-29-

(b) Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Secured Loans. With respect to any Lender, the assignment of the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Secured Loan made by such Lender shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded on the Loan Register with respect to ownership of such Secured Loan as provided in this Section 7.15 and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the assignor with respect to such Secured Loan shall remain owing to the assignor. The Initial Loans made by the Initial Lenders on the Closing Date shall be registered on the Loan Register by the Loan Agent. The registration of an assignment of all or part of any Secured Loan shall be recorded on the Loan Register only upon the acceptance by the Loan Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4(d). Each Lender shall promptly provide the Loan Agent any information reasonably requested by it for purposes of maintaining the Register. The entries in the Loan Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Loan Register as the owner of such Secured Loan for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

Upon reasonable request, the Loan Agent will provide to any Lender evidence that such Lender and its Secured Loans are recorded on the Loan Register.

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 Loan Agent and Collateral Trustee (in their capacities as Loan Agent and Collateral Trustee) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Section 7.16 Marshalling; Recapture. None of the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent or any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Loans.

(ii) In connection with its lending under the Secured Loan: (A) none of the Transaction Parties or any of their respective Affiliates is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment advisor for it; (B) it is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of the Transaction Parties or any of their respective Affiliates; (C) it has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent it has deemed necessary and has made its own investment decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any transaction pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the Transaction Parties or any of their respective Affiliates; (D) it has read and understands this Agreement and the Indenture; and (E) it is a sophisticated investor and is acquiring an interest in such Secured Loan with a full understanding of all of the terms, conditions and risks thereof, and is capable of and willing to assume those risks.

(A) On each day it is a Lender, (x) if it is, or is acting on behalf of, a Benefit Plan Investor, its acquisition, holding and disposition of the Secured Loan (or any interest therein) will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and (y) if it is a governmental, church, non-U.S. or other plan which is subject to any Other Plan Law, its acquisition, holding and disposition of such Secured Loan (or any interest therein) will not constitute or result in a violation of any Other Plan Law.

-31-

(C) It understands that if the Borrower determines that any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by a Lender in paragraphs (A) and (B) above are false or misleading, such Lender will be required by the Borrower to sell or otherwise transfer its Secured Loans to an eligible purchaser (selected by the Borrower) at a price to be agreed between the Borrower (exercising its sole discretion) and such eligible purchaser at the time of sale, subject to the transfer restrictions set out herein and in the Indenture. It understands that the Borrower shall be entitled to deduct from the sale or transfer price an amount equal to all the expenses and costs incurred and any loss suffered by the Borrower as a result of such forced transfer and such Lender will receive the balance, if any.

(iv) It understands that the Borrower has not been registered under the Investment Company Act, and that the Borrower is exempt from registration as such by virtue of Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.

(v) It makes, or is deemed to make, the representations set forth in Section 2.13 of the Indenture.

Each Lender understands that the Borrower, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Manager and each of their respective counsel will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations, and it hereby consents to such reliance.

The Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent and each Lender or Holder or beneficial owner of an interest herein acknowledges and agrees that if it files or causes the filing of a petition under Bankruptcy Law or any other similar law against the Borrower prior to the expiration of the period specified in the preceding sentence, any claim that it has against the Borrower (including under all Secured Debt of any Class held by it) or with respect to any Collateral Obligations (including any proceeds thereof) will, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Priority of Payments and notwithstanding any objection to, or rescission of, such filing, be fully subordinate in right of payment to the claims of each Holder or beneficial owner of any Secured Debt that does not seek to cause any such filing with such subordination being effective until all Secured Debt held by each Holder or beneficial owner that does not seek to cause any such filing is paid in full in accordance with the Priority of Payments (after giving effect to such subordination). This agreement will constitute a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Borrower will direct the Collateral Trustee to segregate payments and take other reasonable steps to effect the foregoing.

Section 7.26 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Contracts 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 ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ 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 Credit 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):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity 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 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. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

-34-

(b) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

“Swap Contract” means (a) any and all rate swap transactions, basis swaps, credit derivative transactions, forward rate transactions, commodity swaps, commodity options, forward commodity contracts, equity or equity index swaps or options, bond or bond price or bond index swaps or options or forward bond or forward bond price or forward bond index transactions, interest rate options, forward foreign exchange transactions, cap transactions, floor transactions, collar transactions, currency swap transactions, cross-currency rate swap transactions, currency options, spot contracts, or any other similar transactions or any combination of any of the foregoing (including any options to enter into any of the foregoing), whether or not any such transaction is governed by or subject to any master agreement, and (b) any and all transactions of any kind, and the related confirmations, that are subject to the terms and conditions of, or governed by, any form of master agreement published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., any International Foreign Exchange Master Agreement, or any other master agreement (any such master agreement, together with any related schedules, a “Master Agreement”), including any such obligations or liabilities under any Master Agreement.

Section 7.27 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

-35-

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 7.28 Conflict of Interest.

(a) The Initial Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Credit Documents or any other agreements or instruments that govern the Secured Loans by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of the Initial Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to the Initial ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s exercise of any such rights or remedies.

(b) The Initial Lender and its Affiliates (collectively, the “State Street Group”) may provide to the Borrower and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Borrower Group”) a number of services other than those described in the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, transition management, agency securities lending, enhanced custody, principal and agency foreign exchange services, currency management, futures clearing, electronic trading, derivatives, custody, accounting, administration, trustee, and investment advisory services (each a “Non-Lending Service”, and collectively, the “Non-Lending Services”). Nothing in the agreements or other arrangements between any member of the Borrower Group and any member of the State Street Group with respect to any Non-Lending Service, including, without limitation, any custody, trustee or investment advisory services that may be provided to such member of the Borrower Group, will be deemed to modify the terms or conditions of, or the relationship in which the parties act under, the Credit Documents. Similarly, the rights that any member of the Borrower Group may have under the Credit Documents will not modify the terms or conditions of, or the relationship in which the parties act under, the contractual arrangements such member of the Borrower Group has entered into with any member of the State Street Group in respect of any Non-Lending Service.

-36-

(i) The relationship between the Borrower and the Initial Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents is one of debtor and creditor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the status of a member of the State Street Group as a fiduciary, trustee, custodian or agent to a member of the Borrower Group under any contractual arrangement or service relationship relating to any Non-Lending Service will not imply or create a similar relationship or related obligation with respect to the transaction described in the Credit Documents. Neither the Initial Lender nor any other member of the State Street Group offers its lending services (including, without limitation, the transaction described in the Credit Documents) as a fiduciary, trustee or custodian.

(ii) Members of the State Street Group, each in its capacity as a provider of Non-Lending Services, may charge fees, including transaction-based or volume-based fees, as may be agreed to by members of the Borrower Group. None of the fees charged by members of the State Street Group in connection with the provision of Non-Lending Services is, or should be considered to be, fees related to the Secured Loans.

(iii) As set forth in the Credit Documents, as compensation for its lending services, the Initial Lender charges various fees and interest to the Borrower. The amount of fees and interest charged by members of the State Street Group to any third party (such as the Borrower) will depend on a number of factors, including State Street Group’s other commercial dealings with such third party, and may vary materially from the fees and interest charged to other third parties. Neither the Initial Lender nor any other member of the State Street Group has any obligation to provide the Borrower or any other member of the Borrower Group with the lowest or “best” pricing or other terms for any commercial lending service (including the Secured Loans). Borrower may be able to obtain more favorable terms for the lending transaction contemplated by the Credit Documents from financial institutions other than the State Street Group.

Section 7.29 Confidentiality. Section 14.15 of the Indenture shall apply mutatis mutandis to this Amendment.
