In connection with all calculations required to be made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to Scheduled Distributions on any Collateral Loans, or any payments on any other assets included in the Collateral, with respect to the sale of and reinvestment in Collateral Loans, and with respect to the income that can be earned on Scheduled Distributions on such Collateral Loans and on any other amounts that may be received for deposit in the Collection Account, the provisions set forth in this Section 1.3 shall be applied. The provisions of this Section 1.3 shall be applicable to any determination or calculation that is covered by this Section 1.3, whether or not reference is specifically made to Section 1.3, unless some other method of calculation or determination is expressly specified in the particular provision.

(a) Scheduled interest due on Collateral Loans on which payments are subject to foreign withholding taxes, will be the minimum net amount to be received after giving effect to the maximum permitted withholding and to any “gross-up” payments required to be made by the related Obligor pursuant to such loan’s Related Contracts.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all monetary calculations under this Agreement shall be in Dollars.

-63-

(c) The determination of the percentage of Total Capitalization that would be represented by a specified type of Collateral Loans will be calculated by dividing the Aggregate Maximum Principal Balance of such specified type of Collateral Loans by Total Capitalization. For purposes of this Section 1.3(c), a “type” of Collateral Loan shall correspond to each clause of the definition of “Concentration Limitations” and to each reference to Current Pay Obligations in the respective provisos to the definitions of Current Pay Obligation and Defaulted Loan.

(d) Any portion of a Collateral Loan or other loan or security owned of record by the Borrower that has been assigned by the Borrower to a third party and released from the Lien of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof shall no longer constitute Collateral or a Collateral Loan hereunder.

(e) For purposes of calculating the Coverage Tests, except as otherwise specified in the Coverage Tests, such calculations will not include scheduled interest and principal payments on Defaulted Loans unless or until such payments are actually made.

(f) For each Due Period and as of any date of determination, the Scheduled Distribution on any Collateral Loans (other than Defaulted Loans, which, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be assumed to have a Scheduled Distribution of zero) shall be the sum of (i) the total amount of payments and collections to be received during such Due Period in respect of such Collateral Loans (including the proceeds of the sale of such Collateral Loans received and, in the case of sales which have not yet settled, to be received during such Due Period) and not reinvested in additional Collateral Loans or retained in the Collection Account for subsequent reinvestment pursuant to Section 8.2 that, if received as scheduled, will be available in the Collection Account at the end of such Due Period and (ii) any such amounts received in prior Due Periods that were not disbursed on a previous Quarterly Payment Date or retained in the Collection Account for subsequent reinvestment pursuant to Section 8.2.

(g) Each Scheduled Distribution receivable with respect to a Collateral Loan shall be assumed to be received on the applicable Due Date, and each such Scheduled Distribution shall be assumed to be immediately deposited in the Collection Account to earn interest at the Assumed Investment Rate. All such funds shall be assumed to continue to earn interest until the date on which they are required to be available in the Collection Account for application, in accordance with the terms hereof, to payments of principal of or interest on the Loans or other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement.

(h) 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.

(i) For purposes of calculating all Concentration Limitations, in the numerator of any component of the Concentration Limitations, Defaulted Loans will be treated as having a Maximum Principal Balance equal to the Recovery Value.

(j) Except as otherwise provided herein, Defaulted Loans will not be included in the calculation of the Collateral Quality Test.

-64-

(k) For purposes of calculating the Coverage Tests, the Collateral Quality Test and the Concentration Limitations, capitalized or deferred interest (and any other interest that is not paid in cash) on Collateral Loans will be excluded other than any capitalized or deferred interest that is acquired using Principal Proceeds or the proceeds of any Borrowing.

(l) References in this Agreement to the Borrower’s “purchase” or “acquisition” of a Collateral Loan include references to the Borrower’s receipt by contribution from the Seller or making or origination of such Collateral Loan. Portions of the same Collateral Loan acquired by the Borrower on different dates (whether through purchase or receipt by contribution thereof, but excluding subsequent draws under Revolving Collateral Loans or Delayed Funding Loans) will, for purposes of determining the purchase price of such Collateral Loan, be treated as separate purchases on separate dates (and not a weighted average purchase price for any particular Collateral Loan).

(m) For purposes of calculating the Weighted Average Spread or Weighted Average Coupon, (i) a Collateral Loan that is a Step-Down Loan will be treated as having the lowest per annum interest rate or spread over the applicable index or benchmark rate over the remaining maturity of such Collateral Loan and (ii) a Collateral Loan that is a Step-Up Loan will be treated as having the then current per annum interest rate or spread over the applicable index or benchmark rate.

(n) For purposes of calculating compliance with any tests under this Agreement (including without limitation the Coverage Tests, the Collateral Quality Test, the Lender Advance Rate Test, and the Concentration Limitations), the trade date (and not the settlement date) with respect to any acquisition or disposition of a Collateral Loan or Eligible Investment shall be used to determine whether and when such acquisition or disposition has occurred.

(o) For purposes of calculating the Principal Collateralization Amount and the Investment Criteria Adjusted Balance, Discount Loans shall be allocated so as to result in the lowest possible calculation of the Principal Collateralization Amount and the Investment Criteria Adjusted Balance.

(p) For the avoidance of doubt, neither a failure to satisfy the Eligibility Criteria upon the acquisition of a debt obligation nor a breach of Section 5.12 shall occur solely as a result of any property of an Obligor being subject to a Lien imposed by law, such as materialmen’s, warehousemen’s, mechanics’, carriers’, workmen’s and repairmen’s Liens and other similar Liens, arising by operation of law in the ordinary course of business for sums that are not overdue or are being contested in good faith.

(q) Any use of “material” or “materially” or words of similar meaning in this Agreement shall mean material to the ability of the Borrower or the Services Provider to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents or to the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents.

-65-

(r) For the avoidance of doubt, each Ineligible Asset shall be disregarded for the purposes of calculating the Coverage Tests, the Collateral Quality Test, the Concentration Limitations, and the Lender Advance Rate Test.

(s) If a Collateral Loan included in the Collateral would be deemed a Current Pay Obligation but for the applicable percentage limitation in the proviso to the definition of “Defaulted Loan,” then the Current Pay Obligations with the lowest Market Value (assuming that such Market Value is expressed as a percentage of the Principal Balance of such Current Pay Obligations as of the date of determination) shall be deemed Defaulted Loans. Each such Defaulted Loan will be treated as a Defaulted Loan for all purposes until such time as the Aggregate Principal Balance of Current Pay Obligations would not exceed, on a pro forma basis including such Defaulted Loan, the applicable percentage of Total Capitalization.

On the terms and subject to the applicable conditions hereinafter set forth, including, without limitation, Article III:

(a) each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make loans to the Borrower (each, a “Revolving Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the end of the Commitment Period, in each case in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to but not exceeding (i) such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (ii) as to all Lenders, the Total Revolving Commitment at such time;

(b) each Term Lender severally agrees to make term loans to the Borrower (each, a “Term Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the end of the Commitment Period, in each case in an aggregate initial principal amount for all such made (and to be made) Term Loans up to but not exceeding (i) such Term Lender’s Term Commitment and (ii) as to all Term Lenders, the Total Term Commitment at such time;

(c) within such limits and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow (and re-borrow) Revolving Loans under this Section 2.1 and prepay Revolving Loans under Section 2.7. Term Loans, once repaid, may not be reborrowed; and

(d) within such limits and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower shall be permitted to borrow Term Loans in advance of the settlement of the purchase of one or more additional Collateral Loans or distributions to the Parent. The proceeds of any such Term Loan borrowings shall be retained in the Collection Account as Principal Proceeds pending such purchase or distribution and will not be applied to any other purpose.

Section 2.2 Making of the Loans.

(a) If the Borrower desires to request a Borrowing it shall give the Agents a written notice in substantially the form set forth on Exhibit B hereto (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), (i) in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the day of the requested Borrowing, and (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, no later than 2:00 pm, New York City time, two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing. Following receipt of the Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Percentage Share of the applicable Requested Amount.

(b) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be dated the date the request for the related Borrowing is being made, signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and otherwise be appropriately completed. The proposed Borrowing Date specified in each Notice of Borrowing shall be a Business Day falling during the Commitment Period.

(c) The amount of the Borrowing requested in each Notice of Borrowing (the “Requested Amount”) shall be equal to at least $250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the aggregate Undrawn Commitments).

-67-

(d) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be revocable by the Borrower only if written notice of such revocation is given to the applicable Lenders and the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date that is one Business Day before the date of the related Borrowing. Notices of Borrowing shall otherwise be irrevocable.

(e) Each Lender shall, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each Borrowing Date in respect of the Loan to be funded by it hereunder, make its Percentage Share of the applicable Requested Amount available to the Borrower by disbursing such funds in Dollars to an account specified by the Borrower in the Notice of Borrowing; provided that if the Loan is not funded through an account with the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent when funds are received.

(f) The failure of any Lender to fund any Loan on a Borrowing Date hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to fund any Loan on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision to the contrary contained herein, if any Lender shall have failed to fund its Percentage Share of a previously requested Loan on the applicable date of Borrowing and the Borrower provides a new Notice of Borrowing as a result of such failure to fund, then, in each such case, if necessary to make such Borrowing, the Borrower shall be permitted a single additional Loan without regard to the minimum funding limit set forth herein.

Section 2.3 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 Loans 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. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the parties hereto intend that the Loans made hereunder shall constitute a “loan” and not a “security” for purposes of Section 8-102(15) of the UCC.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its usual practices, accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder to the Borrower, (ii) the amount of any principal due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any principal sum paid by the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.3 shall, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Loans therein recorded; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the entries maintained by a Lender and those maintained by the Administrative Agent, the records of the Administrative Agent shall control.

-68-

(d) Any Lender may request that its Loans to the Borrower be evidenced by a Note or Notes. In such event, the Borrower shall promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note (or Notes) payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, to the extent reflected in the Register, the Loans of such Lender evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 12.6) be represented by one or more Notes payable to such Lender (or registered assigns pursuant to Section 12.6), except to the extent that such Lender (or registered assignee) subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.3. At the time of any payment or prepayment in full of the Loans evidenced by any Note, such Note shall be surrendered to the Administrative Agent promptly (but no more than five Business Days) following such payment or prepayment in full. Any such Note shall be cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note. If requested by any Lender in writing, the Borrower shall obtain a CUSIP or other loan identification number requested by such Lender that is customary for the nature of the Loans made hereunder.

Each Loan shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on the Stated Maturity.

Section 2.5 Interest Rates.

(a) The Loans shall be Term SOFR Loans, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including without limitation, in Sections 11.1 and 11.2.

(b) The Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof, for each day such Loan is outstanding during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate with respect thereto; provided that from and including the date that is one year after the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which the Reinvestment Period ends, solely for purposes of calculating interest, if the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding (disregarding for this purpose any reduction in the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in order to cure any Market Trigger, Default or Event of Default or to satisfy the Coverage Tests, the Collateral Quality Test, the Lender Advance Rate Test, the Concentration Limitations or any Eligibility Criteria) is less than 75% of the amount of the Total Term Commitment as in effect on the date hereof, Term Loans shall be deemed to have been made in amount equal to 75% of the amount of the Total Term Commitment as in effect on the date hereof and interest shall be applied to such amount, in each case without giving effect to any voluntary reduction or termination of all or any portion of the Total Term Commitment; provided further, that the Applicable Rate with respect to any Term Loans that are deemed to have been drawn pursuant to the previous proviso shall consist solely of the Applicable Margin.

(c) Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the Quarterly Payment Date immediately following the end of such Interest Period and on the Stated Maturity and as otherwise set forth herein.

(d) In the event that, and for so long as, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, overdue interest in respect of all Loans, shall automatically bear interest for each day at the annual rate of the sum of (i) the Applicable Rate for such Loan for such day plus (ii) two percent (the “Post-Default Rate” for such Loan).

-69-

(e) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder for any Interest Period or portion thereof pursuant to this Section 2.5 and the related definitions;

(f) The Administrative Agent shall provide notice to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Lenders of any and all SOFR rate sets on the date that any such rate set is determined.

In no event shall the Collateral Agent be required to execute any agreement in respect of the accountants that it reasonably determines adversely affects it.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Custodian, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent fails within 75 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower to execute any documentation required by the independent certified public accountants selected by the Borrower prior to the delivery of any report contemplated by this Section 5.34(b), then the Borrower shall have no obligation to furnish any report covering such fiscal year pursuant to this Section 5.34(b).

(b) The Borrower has not and shall not at any time make any election to be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as other than either (i) an entity disregarded as separate from a sole owner, or (ii) a partnership (other than a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation).

(c) The Borrower will deliver or cause to be delivered an IRS Form W-9, or applicable successor form from its sole owner to each issuer, counterparty, paying agent, as necessary to permit the Borrower to receive payments without U.S. withholding tax.

(d) Subject to the satisfaction of the Eligibility Criteria, no more than 50% of the debt obligations or interests therein (in each case as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) held by the Borrower may at any time consist of real estate mortgages (or interests therein) as determined for purposes of Section 7701(i) of the Code, unless the Borrower receives an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that the ownership of such debt obligations will not cause the Borrower to be treated as a taxable mortgage pool for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Section 5.36 Pool Concentrations.

During the Reinvestment Period the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the pool of Collateral contains Collateral Loans of no less than 20 different Obligors.

Section 5.37 Beneficial Ownership Certification.

The Borrower shall promptly (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after receipt and identification thereof) deposit or cause to be deposited into the Collection Account any and all Collections received by the Borrower.

The Borrower will not make any change, or permit the Collateral Administrator or any Services Provider to make any change, in its instructions to the Obligors, any agent or any lender, as applicable, regarding payments to be made with respect to the any Collateral Loan or other Collateral to the Collection Account or other applicable account, as applicable, unless the Majority Lenders have directed, or otherwise has consented in writing to, such change (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

The Borrower shall (i) procure the Retention Holder not to amend, supplement, modify, repudiate or waive any provision, of any Retention Letter without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Affected Lender and (ii) procure that the Retention Holder has not changed and will not change the manner in which it retains the Retained Interest (as defined in the Retention Letter), except to the extent permitted by the EU Retention Requirements and with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Affected Lender.

Section 5.41 Post-Closing Rating.

(a) The Borrower, with the cooperation of the Administrative Agent, shall endeavor to obtain a rating from S&P of the Loans of at least “A (sf)” on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date and the Borrower and Lenders agree to amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as reasonably necessary to obtain such rating. In the event that on or after the three-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent does not have a reasonable expectation that such rating will be obtained by the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower. The Borrower will thereafter have the right to obtain an equivalent rating from Fitch or DBRS and the Majority Lenders and the Administrative Agent will cooperate with the Borrower in order to obtain such equivalent rating from Fitch or DBRS, including by amending this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain such equivalent rating. The Majority Lenders and the Administrative Agent will not unreasonably withhold consent to any amendments required by any Rating Agency in order to obtain such a rating.

(b) If the Borrower does not obtain such rating from S&P, Fitch or DBRS prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Reinvestment Period shall automatically be suspended, unless (1) the Administrative Agent and all Lenders other than Lenders whose Commitment is less than $75,000,000 (provided that if a Lender had or would have had a Commitment of equal to or more than $75,000,000 at any time which has been reduced per Section

-107-

2.7, consent of such Lender shall be required) provide written consent not to suspend the Reinvestment Period at such time or (2) the Borrower provides notice to the Administrative Agent that (x) it was not able to obtain such rating from S&P, Fitch or DBRS within such time period as a result of the inability of S&P, Fitch or DBRS (as applicable) to timely complete its required procedure to provide such rating, and (y) the Borrower certifies to the Administrative Agent that it has determined, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, that such rating will be obtained by the nine-month anniversary of the Closing Date, in which case the Reinvestment Period shall automatically be suspended if no such rating has been obtained by the nine-month anniversary of the Closing Date, unless the Administrative Agent and all Lenders other than Lenders whose Commitment is less than $75,000,000 (provided that if a Lender had or would have had a Commitment of equal to or more than $75,000,000 at any time which has been reduced per Section 2.7, consent of such Lender shall be required) provide written consent not to suspend the Reinvestment Period at such time; provided that, in the event a Lender does not provide its consent under this Section 5.41, another Lender may assume the Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that (1) the Borrower does not obtain any rating referred to in this Section 5.41 on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date (or, if clause (b)(2) above is applicable, the nine-month anniversary of the Closing Date) and such failure to obtain a rating is not primarily due to credit-related reasons either with respect to the Collateral or as it relates to the direct lending market generally (for the avoidance of doubt, credit-related reasons include without limitation credit deterioration or material defaults of the Collateral Loans), (2) the Reinvestment Period is suspended solely as a result of such failure to obtain a rating and (3) the Borrower has invoked its right to obtain a rating from Fitch or DBRS in accordance with clause (b)(2) above and has made commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to obtain a rating in accordance with this Section 5.41 (the occurrence of all of the foregoing events, a “Rating Failure Event”), then (i) the Borrower will have the right to prepay the Loans in full and terminate the Commitments in accordance with Section 2.7, (ii) the Borrower will have the right to enter into a collateralized loan obligation transaction using the Collateral with any placement agent and the proceeds of the issuance of securities in such transaction shall be applied to repay the Loans in full and the Total Revolving Commitment and the Total Term Commitment shall be irrevocably reduced to zero, (iii) only if the Total Revolving Commitment and the Total Term Commitment have been irrevocably reduced to zero and all Loans have been repaid in full in accordance with this Agreement, Société Générale (or any of its Affiliates) shall rebate to the Parent a portion of the Upfront Fee that was paid pursuant to Section 1 of the Fee Letter in an amount equal to: (A) the number of calendar days from the occurrence of the Rating Failure Event to the second anniversary of the Closing Date divided by (B) 730 multiplied by (C) the total amount of the Upfront Fee that was paid to Société Générale or any of its Affiliates pursuant to Section 1 of the Fee Letter and (iv) the Commitment Fee will be deemed to be 0.0% during any period while the Reinvestment Period is suspended in accordance with this Section 5.41.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Majority Lenders or the Administrative Agent may (or shall acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) exercise (or direct the Collateral Agent in the exercise of) the rights, privileges and remedies set forth in this Section 6.2.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each of the following actions shall require the prior written approval by the Majority Lenders, whether or not approved by the Borrower’s board of directors or other persons performing similar functions: (i) issuance of any commitment to make, and the acquisition (other than pursuant to commitments then in effect) of, any Collateral Loan or other loan or security constituting any Collateral or any interest therein, (ii) any amendment, modification, or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any term or provision of any Collateral Loan or other loan or security constituting any Collateral, (iii) any release of any collateral for, or guarantor of or other credit support provider for, any Collateral Loan or other loan or security constituting any Collateral, except upon payment in full of such Collateral Loan or other loan or security or any subordination or limitation of recourse with respect thereto and except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms of the Related Contracts, (iv) any sale, purchase, assignment or participation in respect of any Collateral Loan or other loan or security constituting any Collateral (other than pursuant to commitments then in effect or in the case of a sale or assignment upon payment in full of such Collateral Loan or other loan or security), (v) any determination to exercise, or not to exercise, remedies in respect of a Collateral Loan or other loan or security constituting any Collateral following a default or event of default thereunder and (vi) any other action or decision not to act which impairs or could be reasonably likely to impair the value of any Collateral Loan or other Collateral, or is otherwise adverse to any Collateral Loan or other Collateral, or to extend or increase any of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder or with respect to any Collateral Loan or other Collateral, or to interfere with the exercise of rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral Loan or other Collateral.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in addition to all rights and remedies specified in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including Section 6.3, and the rights and remedies of a secured party under Applicable Law, including the UCC, the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, may (i) declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall forthwith terminate or (ii) declare the principal of and the accrued interest on the Loans and all other amounts whatsoever payable by the Borrower hereunder (including any amounts payable under Section 2.8) to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such amounts shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower (an “Enforcement Event”); provided that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.1, the Loans and all such other amounts shall automatically become due and payable without any further action by any party.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Majority Lenders or the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders), will have the right to take any other remedies set forth in Section 6.3(b) below or other remedies permitted by law.

-112-

Section 6.3 Additional Collateral Provisions.

(a) Release of Security Interest. If and only if all Obligations under the Loans have been paid in full and all Commitments have been terminated, the Secured Parties shall, at the expense of the Borrower, promptly execute, deliver and file or authorize for filing such instruments as the Borrower shall reasonably request in order to reassign, release or terminate the Secured Parties’ security interest in the Collateral. The Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that upon the sale, substitution or disposition of any Collateral by the Borrower in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the date of any such sale, substitution or other disposition, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall automatically and without further action be deemed to and hereby does terminate and release the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Collateral and the Secured Parties shall, at the expense of the Borrower, execute, deliver and file or authorize for filing such instrument as the Borrower shall reasonably request to reflect or evidence such termination. Any and all actions under this Article VI in respect of the Collateral shall be without any recourse to, or representation or warranty by any Secured Party and shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.

(b) Additional Rights and Remedies. The Collateral Agent (for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties), acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders, shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other Applicable Law. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent or its designees shall, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law (including the UCC) and notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, (i) instruct the Borrower to deliver any or all of the Collateral, the Related Contracts and any other documents relating to the Collateral to the Collateral Agent or its designees and otherwise give all instructions for the Borrower regarding the Collateral; (ii) if the Loans have been accelerated in accordance with this Agreement, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, all without judicial process or proceedings; (iii) take control of the proceeds of any such Collateral; (iv) subject to the provisions of the applicable Related Contracts, exercise any consensual or voting rights in respect of the Collateral; (v) release, make extensions, discharges, exchanges or substitutions for, or surrender all or any part of the Collateral; (vi) enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral; (vii) institute and prosecute legal and equitable proceedings to enforce collection of, or realize upon, any of the Collateral; (viii) require that the Borrower immediately take all actions necessary to cause the liquidation of the Collateral in order to pay all amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations, in accordance with the terms of the Related Contracts; (ix) redeem or withdraw or cause the Borrower to redeem or withdraw any asset of the Borrower to pay amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations; (x) subject to Section 12.16, make copies of or, if necessary, remove from the Borrower’s and its agents’ place of business all books, records and documents relating to the Collateral; and (xi) endorse the name of the Borrower upon any items of payment relating to the Collateral or upon any proof of claim in bankruptcy against an account debtor. The Collateral Agent shall provide written notice of any liquidation of the Collateral to the applicable Rating Agency.

The Collateral Agent shall not be under any duty or obligation to take any affirmative action to exercise or enforce any power, right or remedy available to it under this Agreement unless and until (and to the extent) at the express direction of the Majority Lenders; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such action at the direction of

-113-

the Majority Lenders, any Secured Party or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Agent, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Collateral Agent to liability hereunder (unless it has been provided with an indemnity agreement (including the indemnity provisions contained herein and in the other Loan Documents) which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto).

The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders or acting directly or through the Administrative Agent) or the Majority Lenders, it shall execute all documents and agreements which are necessary or appropriate to have the Collateral assigned to the Collateral Agent or its designee. For purposes of taking the actions described in clauses (i) through (xi) of this Section 6.3(b) the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment being coupled with an interest and is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid and which can be exercised only if such Event of Default is continuing), with power of substitution, in the name of the Collateral Agent or in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, but at the cost and expense of the Borrower and, except as permitted by Applicable Law, without notice to the Borrower.

All documented sums paid or advanced by the Collateral Agent in connection with the foregoing and all documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Post-Default Rate for the Loans from the date of demand of repayment by the Collateral Agent until repaid in full, shall be paid by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent from time to time on demand in accordance with the Priority of Payments and shall constitute and become a part of the Obligations secured hereby.

Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, credit bidding by any Lender (or any other Person) in connection with any foreclosure sale hereunder shall not be permitted.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, in connection with the sale of the Collateral following an acceleration of the Obligations, the Services Provider (or any of its Affiliates) shall have the right (which right, for avoidance of doubt, shall be irrevocably forfeited if not exercised within the specified timeframe) to bid to purchase all or any portion of the Collateral Loans in the Collateral within fifteen Business Days of its receipt of notice of such acceleration. If such bid is for an amount at least equal to all unpaid Obligations (other than unasserted Contingent Obligations) the Administrative Agent shall accept such bid. The Administrative Agent may, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, accept a lower bid. If the Administrative Agent accepts such bid, the Services Provider (or any of its Affiliates) shall have the right (which right, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be irrevocably forfeited if not exercised within the specified timeframe) to purchase all or any portion of the Collateral Loans in the Collateral by paying to the Collateral Agent in immediately available funds an amount equal to the agreed-upon bid price (which bid price shall not be less than the outstanding Obligations and, without duplication, all unpaid Administrative Expenses); provided that such purchase shall settle within 30 days of the date such notice of bid by Services Provider is received, otherwise such

-114-

purchase shall not be permitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing purchase rights, if the Collateral Agent or the Majority Lenders, propose to sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, the Services Provider (or any of its Affiliates) and the Lenders shall have the right to offer bids to acquire all or any portion of the Collateral sold at such sale. To the extent the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Majority Lenders) elects to sell any or all Collateral Loans at such public or private sale, such Collateral Loans or any parcel thereof shall be sold to the party offering the highest bid in immediately available funds.

(c) 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 Loan 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 Loan 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.

(d) Related Contracts.

(i) The Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent not expressly prohibited by the terms of the Related Contracts, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it shall (x) upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, promptly forward to such Agent all information and notices which it receives under or in connection with the Related Contracts relating to the Collateral, subject to applicable confidentiality requirements, and (y) upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, act and refrain from acting in respect of any request, act, decision or vote under or in connection with the Related Contracts relating to the Collateral only in accordance with the direction of such Agent; provided that if the Borrower receives conflicting requests pursuant to this subclause (y), it shall follow whichever request is evidenced to be derived from the direction of the Majority Lenders.

(ii) The Borrower agrees that, to the extent the same shall be in the Borrower’s possession, it will hold all Related Contracts relating to the Collateral in trust for the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, and upon request of either Agent following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or as otherwise provided herein, promptly deliver the same to the Collateral Agent or its designee.

(e) Borrower Remains Liable.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Borrower shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in and relating to the Collateral (including the Related Contracts) to the extent set forth therein, and shall perform all of its duties and obligations under such contracts and agreements to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed and (y) the exercise by any Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under any such contracts or agreements included in the Collateral.

-115-

(ii) No obligation or liability of the Borrower is intended to be assumed by either Agent or any other Secured Party under or as a result of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including under any Related Contract or any other agreement or document that relates to Collateral and, to the maximum extent permitted under provisions of law, the Agents and the other Secured Parties expressly disclaim any such assumption.

(f) Protection of Collateral. The Borrower, or the Services Provider on behalf of and at the expense of the Borrower, shall from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and file or authorize the filing of all such UCC-1 financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action as may be necessary or advisable or desirable to secure the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder and to:

(i) grant security more effectively on all or any portion of the Collateral;

(ii) maintain, preserve, protect and/or perfect any grant of security made or to be made by this Agreement including, without limitation, the first priority nature (subject to Permitted Liens) of the lien or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;

(iii) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any grant made or to be made by this Agreement (including, without limitation, any and all actions necessary or desirable as a result of changes in law or regulations);

(iv) enforce any of the Collateral or other instruments or property included in the Collateral (or any portion thereof);

(v) preserve and defend title to the Collateral and the rights therein of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties in the Collateral against the claims of all Persons and parties; and

(vi) pay or cause to be paid any and all material Taxes levied or assessed upon all or any part of the Collateral, except to the extent such Taxes are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted; provided that any reserve or other appropriate provision as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor.

The Borrower hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent as its agent and attorney in fact to prepare and file any UCC-1 financing statement (which may describe the collateral as “all assets”), continuation statement and all other instruments, and take all other actions, required pursuant to this Section 6.3. Such authorization shall not impose upon the Collateral Agent, or release or diminish, the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 6.3. The Borrower further authorizes the Administrative Agent’s United States counsel to file any UCC-1 or UCC-3 financing statements that may be required by the Agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

-116-

Section 6.4 Application of Proceeds.

All proceeds received after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default will be applied to the Obligations in the following order of priority on each date or dates fixed by the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Majority Lenders):

ARTICLE VII

THE AGENTS

Section 7.1 Appointment and Authorization.

Each Lender irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agents to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Only the Agents (and not one or more of the Lenders) shall have the authority to deal directly with the Borrower under this Agreement and each Lender acknowledges that all notices, demands or requests from such Lender to the Borrower must be forwarded to the applicable Agent for delivery to the Borrower. Each Lender acknowledges that the Borrower has no obligation to act or refrain from acting on instructions or demands of one or more Lenders absent written instructions from an Agent in accordance with its rights and authority hereunder.

-118-

Section 7.2 Agents and Affiliates.

The Agents shall each have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as the Lenders and may each exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not an Agent, and such Agents and their respective affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not an Agent hereunder, and the term “Lender” and “Lenders” may include Société Générale and/or any Affiliate of Société Générale in its individual capacity. The provisions in this Article VII with respect to the Agents shall apply only to the Agents acting in their capacities as such hereunder and not as Lenders.

Section 7.3 Actions by Agent.

The obligations of the Agents hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. No Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of any Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or shall otherwise exist against any Agent. The provisions of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders (other than Sections 7.1 and 7.8, which are also for the benefit of the Borrower). In performing its functions and duties solely under this Agreement, each Agent shall act solely as the agent of the Lenders (except pursuant to Section 12.6(f)) and does not assume, nor shall be deemed to have assumed, any obligation or relationship of trust with or for the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent shall be required to take any action with respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article VI. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default and conspicuously labeled as a “notice of default” is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, the Services Provider, any Lender, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian, the Document Custodian or any other party from time to time party hereto (other than the Administrative Agent).

Section 7.4 Delegation of Duties; Consultation with Experts.

Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through its subsidiaries, affiliates, 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. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 7.5 Limitation of Liability of Agents.

(a) No Agent nor any of its respective affiliates, directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (x) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders, or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment). No Agent nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers,

-119-

agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any Borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. No Agent shall incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall be fully protected in relying and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 3.1, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the occurrence of the Closing Date specifying its objections. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith in accordance with a request of the Majority Lenders (or the Administrative Agent) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. Under no circumstances shall the Agents be deemed liable for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages (including lost profits) even if such Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of action.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Bankruptcy Law.

(i) the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default until an Administrative Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice (which notice shall refer to this Agreement and state that such notice is a notice of Default) thereof from the Borrower, the Services Provider, the Administrative Agent, a Lender or any other Person;

-120-

(ii) no provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall require the Collateral 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 adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; provided, however, that the reasonable and documented costs of performing its ordinary services under this Agreement shall not be deemed a “financial liability” for purposes hereof;

(iii) if, in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Agent may request written instructions from the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall request written instructions from the Majority Lenders) as to the course of action desired. If the Collateral Agent does not receive such instructions within five Business Days after its request therefor, 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 Business Day period except to the extent it has already taken, or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions;

(iv) the Collateral Agent shall be under no liability for interest on any funds received by it hereunder except to the extent of income or other gain on Eligible Investments which are deposits in or certificates of deposit of State Street Bank and Trust Company or any Affiliate in its commercial capacity and income or other gain actually received (and not subsequently reinvested, withdrawn or distributed) by the Collateral Agent in Eligible Investments;

(v) the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for delays or failures in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its control (such acts include but are not limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war and interruptions, losses or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications services); it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances; and

(vi) without prejudice to the Collateral Agent’s duties under Article VI or any other provision of any Loan Document, the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to take any action to collect from any Obligor any amount payable by such Obligor on the Collateral Loans or any other Collateral under any circumstances, including if payment is refused after due demand.

(d) No Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any such Person. No Agent shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but shall not be limited to acts of god, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters.

-121-

(e) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for the selection of any investments or any losses in connection therewith, or for any failure of the Borrower to timely provide investment instruction to the Collateral Agent in connection with the investment of funds in or from any account set forth herein. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.2(c) or Section 8.3, in the absence of a Borrower Order or, after an Event of Default, a direction from the Administrative Agent, all funds in any account held under this Agreement shall be held uninvested. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to release the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity from any liability it may have as an obligor under any Eligible Investment.

(f) The Collateral Agent, and in the event that the Collateral Agent is also acting in the capacity of Custodian, Collateral Administrator, paying agent or securities intermediary hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, then in such other capacities, as well, shall be entitled to compensation from the Borrower in an amount separately agreed upon by the Borrower (or the Services Provider on its behalf) and the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and its Affiliates also shall be permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Collateral Agent’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Eligible Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Eligible Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable pursuant to this Agreement.

(g) Without limiting the generality of any terms of this Section 7.5, the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Services Provider or the Borrower to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to the Collateral Agent, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on the Collateral Agent’s part of any of its duties hereunder that is caused by or results from any such inaccurate, incomplete or untimely information received by it, or other failure on the part of any such other party to comply with the terms hereof.

(h) The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to (i) confirm or verify whether the conditions to the delivery of Collateral have been satisfied or to determine whether (A) a loan is a Collateral Loan or meets the criteria in the definition thereof or is otherwise eligible for purchase hereunder, (B) an investment is an Eligible Investment or meets the criteria in the definition thereof or is otherwise eligible for purchase hereunder or (ii) evaluate the sufficiency of the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with the grant by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent of any item constituting the Collateral or otherwise, or in that regard to examine any underlying documents, in order to determine compliance with the applicable requirements of and restrictions on transfer of a Collateral Loan or Eligible Investment.

-122-

(i) In order to comply with Applicable Law, including the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, the Collateral Agent is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Collateral Agent. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Collateral Agent upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Collateral Agent to comply with Applicable Law. The Collateral Agent may from time to time establish any additional accounts deemed necessary or desirable for convenience in administering the Collateral so long as each such account is at all times subject to a valid and perfected first priority lien in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

(j) The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or any other Loan Document at the request or direction of the Majority Lenders or the Administrative Agent, unless it shall have been provided indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its attorneys and counsel), and liabilities which may be incurred by it in compliance with or in performing such request or direction. No provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document shall otherwise be construed to require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or to take any action that could in its judgment cause it to incur any cost, expenses or liability unless it is provided an indemnity reasonably acceptable to it against any such expenditure, risk, costs, expense or liability. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to take any affirmative action to exercise or enforce any power, right or remedy available to it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless and until directed by the Majority Lenders (or the Administrative Agent on their behalf).

(k) The Collateral Agent shall not 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. The Collateral Agent shall not 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, bad faith, reckless disregard or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any of their Affiliates) and independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for the actions of omissions of the Administrative Agent (including without limitation concerning the application of funds), or under any duty to monitor or investigate compliance on the part of the Administrative Agent with the terms or requirements of this Agreement, any Loan Document or any related document, or their duties thereunder. The Collateral 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 hereunder.

(l) The delivery of reports, and other documents and information to the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document is for informational purposes only and the Collateral Agent’s receipt of such documents and information shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. Whether or not expressly stated in such Loan 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.

-123-

(m) Except as expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, nothing herein shall be construed to impose an obligation on the part of the Collateral Agent to recalculate, evaluate or verify any report, certificate or information received by it from the Borrower, Services Provider, Lender or Administrative Agent or to otherwise monitor the activities of the Borrower or Services Provider.

(n) In the event that the Collateral Agent is also acting in the capacity of Custodian, Collateral Agent, paying agent or securities intermediary hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article VII shall also be afforded to the Collateral Agent, individually acting in such other capacities.

(o) The Collateral Agent shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any matter unless actually known to an Administrative Officer of the Collateral Agent responsible for the administration of this Agreement, or unless and to the extent written notice of such matter is received by the Collateral Agent at its address in accordance with Section 12.1.

Section 7.6 Indemnification.

Each Lender, ratably in accordance with its Percentage Share, shall indemnify each of the Agents, their respective affiliates, directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower as may be required under this Agreement) against any cost, expense (including fees of counsel and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ own gross negligence, fraud, reckless disregard, bad faith, criminal conduct or willful misconduct) that such indemnitee may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitee hereunder or thereunder. The provisions of this Section 7.6 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agents.

Section 7.7 Credit Decision

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any other Lender or their respective affiliates, 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 any action under this Agreement or in connection therewith. The Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into the possession of the Agents or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates other than in connection with their acting as Agents under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

-124-

Section 7.8 Successor Agent.

(a) Any Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Borrower, the Services Provider and the applicable Rating Agency; provided that any such resignation by any Agent shall not be effective until a successor agent shall have been appointed and approved in accordance with this Section 7.8. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders, shall have been approved by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, designate a successor Agent, which such successor Agent shall be a commercial bank or a trust company organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as such Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, and the successor Agent shall provide written notice of such appointment to the Lenders, the Services Provider and the applicable Rating Agency. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.8(a) to the contrary, this Section 7.8(a) shall not apply to the resignation of the Administrative Agent, which shall be governed by the terms of Section 7.8(b) of this Agreement.

(b) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Borrower, the Services Provider and the applicable Rating Agency and upon such resignation, Majority Lenders (with the consent of the Borrower) will reasonably promptly designate a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents, and the Majority Lenders (or their designee) shall perform the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Any such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, and the successor Administrative Agent shall provide written notice of such appointment to each other Agent, the Lenders, the Services Provider and the applicable Rating Agency.

(c) After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent. With respect to any Person (i) into which an Agent or may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which an Agent shall be a party or (iii) with respect to the Agents (other than the Administrative Agent) that may succeed to the corporate trust business and assets of any of such Agents substantially as a whole, shall be the successor to such Agent under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.8 to the contrary, this Section 7.8 shall not apply to the resignation or removal of the Document Custodian, which shall be governed by the terms of Section 14.9 of this Agreement.

-125-

Section 7.9 Erroneous Payments.

(a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from a Secured Party or any of its respective Affiliates (a “Payment Recipient”) were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date that is two Business Days after the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, has demanded the return of such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous 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, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent to any Lender under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent, as applicable (or any of their respective Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent, as applicable (or any of their respective Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, or (z) that such Lender otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, (i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and (ii) such Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds

-126-

on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator pursuant to this Section 7.9(b).

(c) Each Lender and Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator to such Lender or Secured Party from any source under or in connection with the Loan Documents, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s or the Collateral Administrator’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. Subject to Section 12.6, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be

-127-

reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or Secured Party under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or Collateral Agent from the Borrower or any other party for the purpose of making a payment in respect of the Obligations, in which case such payment shall discharge and otherwise satisfy the applicable obligation of the Borrower being so paid, prepaid or repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any Erroneous Payment (including in connection with any subrogation related thereto), under no circumstances shall the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent be deemed a lender-of-record.

(f) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all Money and other property payable to or receivable by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement (other than amounts specifically required herein to be paid to the Administrative Agent), including, but not limited to, all payments or any other amounts due on the Collateral Loans and Eligible Investments, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Collateral Loans and Eligible Investments. The Collateral Agent shall segregate and hold all such Money and property received by it in trust for the Lenders and shall apply it as provided in this Agreement.

(b) All payments on the Collateral Loans and other Collateral shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent (at a bank in the United States), will be held in the Collection Account, and will be divided into Interest Proceeds (including Fee Proceeds) and Principal Proceeds. Such amounts shall be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the terms of this Agreement.

(c) The Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) will provide the Collateral Agent with a copy of each agreement under which the Borrower sells any interest in a Collateral Loan pursuant to Section 10.1. Upon receipt of written certification by the Borrower or the Services Provider (which may take the form of standing instructions with respect to a specified portion of all payments received on designated Collateral Loans) to the effect that specified amounts received by the Collateral Agent from an Obligor do not constitute Collections subject to this Agreement but are required by the terms of such a participation or assignment agreement to be paid by the Borrower to the purchaser of a participation interest sold by the Borrower or assignee of the Borrower, as the case may be, the Collateral Agent will disburse such amounts, as directed in such certificate. The Collateral Agent shall make such disbursements in accordance with such directions and shall have no obligation to monitor or verify the terms of any such arrangement.

(d) The Custodian hereby agrees, with the Collateral Agent that (i) each of the Covered Accounts shall be a securities account or deposit account of the Borrower subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent, (ii) all property (other than cash or general intangibles) credited to the Covered Accounts shall be treated as a “financial asset” for purposes of the UCC and all cash that is credited to Covered Accounts shall be credited to accounts that are deposit accounts, (iii) the Custodian shall treat the Collateral Agent as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each financial asset credited to the Covered Accounts subject to the rights of the Borrower specified herein, (iv) the Custodian shall not agree with any person or entity other than the Collateral Agent to comply with entitlement orders originated by any person or entity other than the Collateral Agent or the Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) as provided herein, (v) the Covered Accounts and all property credited to the Covered Accounts shall not be subject to any lien, security interest, right of set-off, or encumbrance in favor of the Custodian or any person or entity claiming through the Custodian (other than the Collateral Agent) except for the right to debit for any item returned by reason of non-sufficient funds and other Permitted Liens, (vi) regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC and for purposes of the Convention on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an intermediary (the “Hague Convention”), with respect to each Covered Account, New York shall be deemed to be the Custodian’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) and the securities intermediary’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) and New York shall govern the issues specified in Article 2(1) of the Hague Convention and

-130-

(vii) any agreement between the Custodian and the Collateral Agent with respect to the Covered Accounts shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Notwithstanding any term hereof or elsewhere to the contrary, it is hereby expressly acknowledged that (a) interests in bank loans or participations (collectively, “Loan Assets”) may be acquired and delivered by the Borrower to the Securities Intermediary from time to time which are not evidenced by, or accompanied by delivery of, a security (as that term is defined in UCC Section 8-102) or an instrument (as that term is defined in Section 9-102(a)(47) of the UCC), and may be evidenced solely by delivery to the Document Custodian (with a copy to the Securities Intermediary) of a facsimile copy of an assignment agreement (“Loan Assignment Agreement”) in favor of the Borrower as assignee, (b) any such Loan Assignment Agreement (and the registration of the related Loan Assets on the books and records of the applicable obligor or bank agent) shall be registered in the name of the Borrower and (c) any duty on the part of the Document Custodian with respect to such Loan Asset (including in respect of any duty it might otherwise have to maintain a sufficient quantity of such Loan Asset for purposes of UCC Section 8-504) shall be limited to the exercise of reasonable care by the Document Custodian in the physical custody of any such Loan Assignment Agreement that may be delivered to it; provided that the Document Custodian shall maintain such Loan Assignment Agreements as required by this Agreement. It is acknowledged and agreed that neither the Document Custodian nor the Securities Intermediary is under a duty to examine underlying credit agreements or loan documents to determine the validity or sufficiency of any Loan Assignment Agreement (and shall have no responsibility for the genuineness or completeness thereof), or for the Borrower’s title to any related Loan Asset.

Section 8.2 Collection Account.

(a) The Collateral Agent shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account in the name “Athena Funding I LLC Collection Account, subject to the lien of State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties”, which shall be designated as the “Collection Account” and which shall be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement. Such account shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent shall have exclusive control over such account, subject to the Borrower’s right to give instructions specified herein, and the sole right of withdrawal, into which the Collateral Agent shall from time to time deposit (i) any amount received under any Interest Hedge Agreement, (ii) all proceeds received from the disposition of any Collateral (unless, during the Reinvestment Period, simultaneously reinvested in Collateral Loans, subject to Article X, or in Eligible Investments or to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.7) and (iii) all Interest Proceeds (including all Fee Proceeds) and all Principal Proceeds. All monies deposited from time to time in the Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement shall be held by the Collateral Agent as part of the Collateral and shall be applied for the purposes herein provided. The Collection Account shall remain at all times with an Eligible Account Bank. In the event that the account bank at which the Collection Account is maintained ceases to be an Eligible Account Bank, or the account bank with respect to the Collection Account gives notice that it is terminating the Account Control Agreement, then Borrower shall, within 60 days of such occurrence, move the Collection Account to an Eligible Account Bank and cause the successor account bank to enter into a control agreement. The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Collection Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.4, 8.2 and 9.1 or to effect a Permitted Distribution or a Permitted Parent Distribution in accordance

-131-

with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to establish one or more subaccounts of the Collection Account, one of which shall be designated the “Interest Collection Account” and the other the “Principal Collection Account” and which together will comprise the “Collection Account” for all purposes of this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement.

(b) All Distributions and any net proceeds from the sale or disposition of Pledged Collateral or any Interest Hedge Agreement or other collateral received by the Collateral Agent shall, subject to the parenthetical in Section 8.2(a)(ii), be immediately deposited into the Collection Account. Subject to Sections 8.2(d) and 8.2(e), all such property, together with any investments in which funds included in such property are or will be invested or reinvested during the term of this Agreement, and any income or other gain realized from such investments, shall be held by the Collateral Agent in the Collection Account as part of the Collateral subject to disbursement and withdrawal as provided in this Section 8.2. (i) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, by Borrower Order (which may be in the form of standing instructions), the Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) shall and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Majority Lenders) shall direct the Collateral Agent to, and, upon receipt of such Borrower Order or direction, as applicable, the Collateral Agent shall, invest all funds received into the Collection Account during a Due Period, and amounts received in prior Due Periods and retained in the Collection Account, as so directed in Eligible Investments having stated maturities no later than the second Business Day immediately preceding the next Quarterly Payment Date. The Borrower, the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent each agrees that it shall not knowingly give any instruction to invest such funds other than in accordance with, or subject to an exemption from, the EU Retention Requirements. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent, within one Business Day after receipt of any Distribution or other proceeds which are not Cash, shall so notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall, within six months of receipt of such notice from the Collateral Agent, sell such Distribution or other proceeds for Cash (at a price equal to fair market value as reasonably determined by the Borrower, or the Services Provider in accordance with the Servicing Standard) to any Person (including an Affiliate of the Borrower) and deposit the proceeds thereof in the Collection Account for investment pursuant to this Section 8.2; provided that the Borrower need not sell such Distributions or other proceeds if it delivers a certificate of an Authorized Officer to the Administrative Agent certifying that such Distributions or other proceeds constitute Collateral Loans or Eligible Investments or securities subject to transfer restrictions that do not permit such sale.

(c) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if the Borrower shall not have given any investment directions pursuant to Section 8.2(b), the Collateral Agent shall seek instructions from the Borrower within one Business Day after transfer of such funds to the Collection Account. If the Collateral Agent does not thereupon receive written instructions from the Borrower within five Business Days after transfer of such funds to the Collection Account, the Collateral Agent shall again seek instructions from the Borrower. If the Collateral Agent does not receive written instructions from the Borrower within five Business Days after such second request, it shall invest and reinvest the funds held in the Collection Account, as fully practicable, in Eligible Investments. The Borrower agrees that it shall not knowingly give any instruction to invest such funds other than in accordance with, or subject to an

-132-

exemption from, the EU Retention Requirements. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Majority Lenders) shall not have given investment directions to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.2(b) for three consecutive days, the Collateral Agent shall seek instructions from the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent agrees that it shall not give any instruction to invest such funds other than in accordance with, or subject to an exemption from, the EU Retention Requirements. All interest and other income from such investments shall be deposited in the Collection Account, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Collection Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Collection Account.

(d) The Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) shall by Borrower Order direct the Collateral Agent to, and upon receipt of such Borrower Order the Collateral Agent shall, transfer Principal Proceeds to the Future Funding Reserve Account on any Business Day on which amounts standing to the credit of the Future Funding Reserve Account do not equal or exceed the Required Amount.

(e) During the Reinvestment Period, the Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) may by Borrower Order direct the Collateral Agent to, and upon receipt of such Borrower Order the Collateral Agent shall, (i) withdraw funds on deposit in the Collection Account representing Principal Proceeds and reinvest such funds in Collateral Loans as permitted under and in accordance with the requirements of Article X and such Borrower Order and (ii) apply Principal Proceeds to make a prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.7.

(f) After the Reinvestment Period, the Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) may by Borrower Order direct the Collateral Agent to, and upon receipt of such Borrower Order the Collateral Agent shall apply Principal Proceeds received by the Borrower (before or after the end of the Reinvestment Period) towards (A) the purchase of Collateral Loans or (B) the payment or funding of Unfunded Amounts, in each case pursuant to commitments entered into by the Borrower prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period.

(g) By Borrower Order, the Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) may at any time direct the Collateral Agent to, and, upon receipt of such Borrower Order, the Collateral Agent shall, pay from time to time on dates other than Quarterly Payment Dates from Interest Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account, Administrative Expenses (which shall be payable in the order specified in the definition thereof); provided that the aggregate amount of Administrative Expenses paid in any Due Period (excluding Administrative Expenses paid on Quarterly Payment Dates pursuant to the Priority of Payments) shall not exceed the Retained Expense Amount determined on the immediately prior Quarterly Payment Date plus, without duplication, the Quarterly Cap applicable on the next Quarterly Payment Date.

(h) The Collateral Agent shall transfer to the Payment Account for application pursuant to Section 9.1(a), on or about the Business Day (but in no event more than two Business Days) prior to each Quarterly Payment Date, any amounts then held in the Collection Account other than proceeds received after the end of the Due Period with respect to such Quarterly Payment Date.

-133-

(i) The Collateral Agent may from time to time establish any additional accounts and/or subaccounts, which in each case shall be subject to the lien of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, deemed necessary by the Collateral Agent for convenience in administering the Collateral.

(j) The Collateral Agent agrees to give the Borrower, the Services Provider, the Lenders prompt notice if an Administrative Officer of the Collateral Agent obtains actual knowledge of or receives written notice that the Collection Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Collection Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process.

(k) At any time and from time to time the Borrower, or the Services Provider on the Borrower’s behalf, may deposit into the Collection Account funds not previously subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) granted under this Agreement; provided that (i) the requirements of Section 6.5 are complied with, if applicable, and (ii) upon such deposit into the Collection Account, such funds shall automatically be subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) granted under this Agreement. Any such deposit shall be irrevocable. The Borrower shall notify the Agents in writing of any such deposit prior to or contemporaneously therewith.

Section 8.3 Payment Account; Future Funding Reserve Account; Interest Reserve Account; Closing Expense Account.

(a) Payment Account. The Collateral Agent shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account in the name “Athena Funding I LLC Payment Account, subject to the lien of State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties”, which shall be designated as the “Payment Account” and which shall be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement. Such account shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent shall have exclusive control over such account, subject to the Borrower’s right to give instructions specified herein, and the sole right of withdrawal. Any and all funds at any time on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Payment Account shall be held in trust by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Except as provided in Sections 6.4 and 9.1, the only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Payment Account shall be to pay the interest on and the principal of the Loans in accordance with their terms and the provisions of this Agreement and, upon Borrower Order or in accordance with the Payment Date Report, to pay fees, Administrative Agent Fees, Collateral Agent Fees, Collateral Administrator Fees, Document Custodian Fee, Administrative Expenses, Increased Costs and other amounts specified therein, each in accordance with (and subject to the limitations contained in) the Priority of Payments. The Collateral Agent agrees to give the Borrower, the Services Provider and the Lenders immediate notice if an Administrative Officer of the Collateral Agent obtains actual knowledge of or receives written notice that the Payment Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Payment Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. The Borrower shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Payment Account other than in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Payment Account shall remain at all times with an Eligible Account Bank, and the amounts therein shall remain uninvested. In the event that the

-134-

account bank at which the Payment Account is maintained ceases to be an Eligible Account Bank, or the account bank with respect to the Payment Account gives notice that it is terminating the Account Control Agreement, then Borrower shall, within 60 days of such occurrence, move the Payment Account to an Eligible Account Bank and cause the successor account bank to enter into a control agreement.

(b) Future Funding Reserve Account. The Collateral Agent shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account in the name “Athena Funding I LLC Future Funding Reserve Account, subject to the lien of State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties”, which shall be designated as the “Future Funding Reserve Account” and which shall be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement. Such account shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties. On the date of any acquisition by the Borrower of any Revolving Collateral Loan or Delayed Funding Loan (including by way of contribution or substitution), the Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) shall by Borrower Order direct the Collateral Agent to, and upon receipt of such Borrower Order the Collateral Agent shall, transfer Principal Proceeds to the Future Funding Reserve Account in an amount equal to the Exposure Amount in respect of such Revolving Collateral Loan or Delayed Funding Loan. The Collateral Agent shall maintain on deposit in the Future Funding Reserve Account an amount equal to (i) the aggregate Exposure Amount plus (ii) the excess, if any, of the aggregate Unsettled Amount as of such date (as identified by the Borrower, or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) over the sum of (x) amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, including Eligible Investments credited thereto, representing Principal Proceeds and (y) if such date is prior to the end of the Commitment Period, the Undrawn Commitment as of such date (the “Required Amount”), in accordance with Articles VIII and IX. The Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) shall by Borrower Order direct the Collateral Agent to, and upon receipt of such Borrower Order the Collateral Agent shall, transfer Principal Proceeds to the Future Funding Reserve Account on any Business Day on which amounts standing to the credit of the Future Funding Reserve Account do not equal or exceed the Required Amount. By Borrower Order (which may be in the form of standing instructions), the Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, direct the Collateral Agent to, and, upon receipt of such Borrower Order, the Collateral Agent shall, invest all funds received into the Future Funding Reserve Account as so directed solely in overnight funds that are Eligible Investments. Except as provided in Sections 6.4 and 9.1, the only permitted withdrawals from or applications of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Future Funding Reserve Account shall, at the direction of the Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) be (i) to fund or pay Unfunded Amounts, (ii) at the election of the Borrower during the Reinvestment Period, to be applied as Principal Proceeds for use as is provided in this Agreement (including, without limitation, as provided in Section 9.1(a)(ii)) and (iii) after the Reinvestment Period, to the extent of any Excess Reserve Amount, to be applied as Principal Proceeds in accordance with Section 9.1(a)(ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of all funds on deposit in the Future Funding Reserve Account on any date that exceeds the Exposure Amount on such date shall be transferred, at the direction of the Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) to the Collection Account on such date and applied as Principal Proceeds. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts transferred from the Future Funding Reserve Account for application as Principal Proceeds as provided above shall be further invested in Collateral Loans (to the extent expressly permitted by the other provisions in this

-135-

Agreement) or applied as Principal Proceeds in accordance with Section 9.1(a)(ii), in each case as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Collateral Agent agrees to give the Borrower and the Services Provider immediate notice if an Administrative Officer of the Collateral Agent obtains actual knowledge of or receives written notice that the Future Funding Reserve Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Future Funding Reserve Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. The Future Funding Reserve Account shall remain at all times with an Eligible Account Bank. In the event that the account bank at which the Future Funding Reserve Account is maintained ceases to be an Eligible Account Bank, or the account bank with respect to the Future Funding Reserve Account gives notice that it is terminating the Account Control Agreement, then Borrower shall, within 60 days of such occurrence, move the Future Funding Reserve Account to an Eligible Account Bank and cause the successor account bank to enter into a control agreement. Any interest earned on Eligible Investments held in the Future Funding Reserve Account shall be applied as Interest Proceeds.

(c) Interest Reserve Account. The Collateral Agent shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish a single, segregated trust account in the name “Athena Funding I LLC Interest Reserve Account, subject to the lien of State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties”, which shall be designated as the “Interest Reserve Account” and which shall be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement and maintained with the Securities Intermediary in accordance with the Account Control Agreement for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Except as provided in Sections 6.4 and 9.1, the only permitted deposits to or withdrawals from the Interest Reserve Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Borrower shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Interest Reserve Account other than in accordance with this Agreement and the Priority of Payments. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall deposit or cause to be deposited $0 into the Interest Reserve Account. Amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account will be invested in Eligible Investments selected by the Services Provider (on behalf of the Borrower), and earnings from all such investments will be deposited in the Collection Account as Interest Proceeds. On the first Quarterly Payment Date, funds in the Interest Reserve Account as of the related Collateral Report Determination Date will be applied as Interest Proceeds on such Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments, but solely to the extent that other Interest Proceeds are not available to satisfy all amounts described in Section 9.1(a)(i)(A) through (E). On the second Quarterly Payment Date, remaining funds in the Interest Reserve Account as of the related Collateral Report Determination Date will be applied as Interest Proceeds on such Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the Interest Reserve Account will be closed. The Interest Reserve Account shall remain at all times with an Eligible Account Bank. In the event that the account bank at which the Interest Reserve Account is maintained ceases to be an Eligible Account Bank, or the account bank with respect to the Interest Reserve Account gives notice that it is terminating the Account Control Agreement, then Borrower shall, within 60 days of such occurrence, move the Interest Reserve Account to an Eligible Account Bank and cause the successor account bank to enter into a control agreement.

(e) Closing Expense Account. The Collateral Agent shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account in the name “Athena Funding I LLC Closing Expense Account, subject to the lien of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties”, which shall be designated as the “Closing Expense Account” and which shall be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive control over such account, subject to the Borrower’s right to give instructions specified herein, and the sole right of withdrawal. Any and all funds at any time on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Closing Expense Account shall be held in trust by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall deposit or cause to be deposited approximately $0 into the Closing Expense Account. On any Business Day during the period that the Closing Expense Account is open, the Collateral Agent shall apply funds from the Closing Expense Account, as directed by the Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower), to pay fees and expenses of the Borrower incurred in connection with the structuring, consummation, closing and post-closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Upon the delivery, on any date that is at least 60 days after the Closing Date, of a Borrower Order instructing the Collateral Agent to close the Closing Expense Account, all funds in the Closing Expense Account will be deposited in the Collection Account as Interest Proceeds and the Closing Expense Account will be closed. By Borrower Order (which may be in the form of standing instructions), the Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, direct the Collateral Agent to, and, upon receipt of such Borrower Order, the Collateral Agent shall, invest all funds received into the Closing Expense Account during a Due Period as so directed by the Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) in Eligible Investments. Any income earned on amounts deposited in the Closing Expense Account will be deposited in the Collection Account as Interest Proceeds as it is received. The Collateral Agent agrees to give the Borrower and the Services Provider immediate notice if an Administrative Officer of the Collateral Agent obtains actual knowledge of or receives written notice that the Closing Expense Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Closing Expense Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. The Closing Expense Account shall remain at all times with an Eligible Account Bank. In the event that the account bank at which the Closing Expense Account is maintained ceases to be an Eligible Account Bank, or the account bank with respect to the Closing Expense Account gives notice that it is terminating the Account Control Agreement, then Borrower shall, within 60 days of such occurrence, move the Closing Expense Account to an Eligible Account Bank and cause the successor account bank to enter into a control agreement. The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Closing Expense Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.3(e).

Section 8.4 Custodial Account.

(a) The Collateral Agent shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account in the name “Athena Funding I LLC Custodial Account, subject to the lien of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties”, which shall be designated as the “Custodial Account” and which shall be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement. Such account shall be maintained with the Securities Intermediary pursuant to the terms of the Account Control Agreement and over which the Collateral Agent shall have exclusive control, subject to the Borrower’s right to give

-137-

instructions specified herein, and the sole right of withdrawal. Any and all assets or securities at any time on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Custodial Account shall be held by the Custodian for the benefit for the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Except in connection with a liquidation pursuant to Article VI, the only permitted withdrawal from the Custodial Account or in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Custodial Account shall be as directed, upon Borrower Order, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 8.5 and 8.6. The Collateral Agent agrees to give the Borrower, the Services Provider and the Lenders immediate notice if an Administrative Officer of the Collateral Agent obtains actual knowledge of or receives written notice that the Custodial Account or any assets or securities on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Custodial Account, has become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. The Custodial Account shall remain at all times with an Eligible Account Bank and shall remain uninvested. In the event that the account bank at which the Custodial Account is maintained ceases to be an Eligible Account Bank, or the account bank with respect to the Custodial Account gives notice that it is terminating the Account Control Agreement, then Borrower shall, within 60 days of such occurrence, move the Custodial Account to an Eligible Account Bank and cause the successor account bank to enter into a control agreement.

The Collateral Agent shall appoint a custodian (the “Custodian”) to act as a securities intermediary for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Initially, such Custodian shall be State Street Bank and Trust Company. Any successor custodian shall be a state or national bank or trust company which (i) is not an Affiliate of the Borrower, (ii) has a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$200,000,000, (iii) has a rating of at least “BBB+” by S&P and (iv) is a securities intermediary. If at any time the Custodian does not satisfy the conditions set forth in the foregoing sentence, the Borrower (subject to the consent of the Majority Lenders) shall appoint a replacement Custodian within 30 days of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower becoming aware of such circumstance. The rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall also be afforded to the Custodian.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 8.5 and 8.6, all right, title and interest of the Borrower in and to the Custodial Account, all related property, and all proceeds thereof shall be subject to the security interest of the Collateral Agent hereunder.

(c) With respect to securities (including without limitation debt and equity securities, bonds, money market funds and mutual funds) issued in the United States, the Shareholders Communications Act of 1985 (the “Act”) requires the Custodian to disclose to the issuers of such securities, upon their request, the name, address and securities position of its customers who are (a) the “beneficial owners” (as defined in the Act) of such issuer’s securities, if the beneficial owner does not object to such disclosure, or (b) acting as a “respondent bank” (as defined in the Act) with respect to such securities. (Under the Act, “respondent banks” do not have the option of objecting to such disclosure upon the issuers’ request.) The Act defines a “beneficial owner” as any person who has, or shares, the power to vote a security (pursuant to an agreement or otherwise), or who directs the voting of a security. The Act defines a “respondent bank” as any bank, association or other entity that exercises fiduciary powers which holds securities on behalf of beneficial owners and deposits such securities for safekeeping with a bank, such as the Custodian. Under the Act, a customer is either the “beneficial owner” or a “respondent bank”. The

“customer” for purposes hereof shall mean the Borrower and each Lender, each of which shall be deemed to be the “beneficial owner” (as defined in the Act) of such securities to be held by the Custodian hereunder, and each of the Borrower and the Lenders hereby waives any objection to the disclosure of its name, address and securities position to any such issuer which requests such information pursuant to the Act for the specific purpose of direct communications between such issuer and the Borrower and each Lender. Each of the Borrower and the Lenders may, by written notice to the Custodian, opt out of the waiver referred to in the foregoing sentence and elect not to consent to the disclosure referred to in the foregoing sentence. With respect to such securities issued outside of the United States, information shall be released to issuers only if required by law or regulation of the particular country in which the securities are located.

(d) At any time and from time to time the Borrower, or the Services Provider on the Borrower’s behalf, may deposit into the Custodial Account Collateral Loans and/or Eligible Investments not previously subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) granted under this Agreement; provided that (i) the requirements of Section 6.5 are complied with and (ii) upon such deposit into the Custodial Account, such assets shall automatically be subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) granted under this Agreement. Any such deposit shall be irrevocable. The Borrower shall notify the Agents in writing of any such deposit prior to or contemporaneously therewith.

Section 8.5 Acquisition of Collateral Loans and Eligible Investments.

Each time that the Borrower acquires any Collateral Loan, Eligible Investment or other Collateral, the Borrower shall, if such Collateral Loan or Eligible Investment or other Collateral has not already been transferred to the Custodial Account, transfer or cause the transfer of such Collateral Loan or Eligible Investment and other Collateral to the Custodian to be held for the benefit of the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The security interest of the Collateral Agent in the funds or other property utilized in connection with such acquisition shall, immediately and without further action on the part of the Collateral Agent, be released. The security interest of the Collateral Agent shall nevertheless come into existence and continue in the Collateral Loans and Eligible Investments and other Collateral so acquired, including all rights of the Borrower in and to any Related Contracts and Collections with respect to such Collateral Loans and Eligible Investments and other Collateral.

Section 8.6 Release of Security Interest in Sold Collateral Loans and Eligible Investments; Release of Security Interests Upon Termination.

(a) Upon any sale or other disposition of a Collateral Loan or Eligible Investment or other Collateral (or portion thereof) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the security interest of the Collateral Agent in such Collateral Loan or Eligible Investment or other Collateral (or the portion thereof which has been sold or otherwise disposed of), and in all Collections and rights under Related Contracts with respect to such Collateral Loan or Eligible Investment or other Collateral (but not in the proceeds of such sale or other disposition) shall, immediately upon the sale or other disposition of such Collateral Loan or Eligible Investment or other Collateral (or such portion), and without any further action on the part of the Collateral Agent, be released, except for the proceeds of such sale or other disposition and except to the extent of the interest, if any, in such Collateral Loan or Eligible Investment or other Collateral which is then retained by the Borrower or which thereafter reverts to the Borrower for any reason.

-139-

(b) Upon the payment in full of the Obligations and termination of all Commitments hereunder, the Collateral shall be released from the liens created hereby and under the other Loan Documents, and this Agreement and all obligations of the Agents and each Lender hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Borrower. At the request and sole expense of the Borrower following any such termination, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall promptly deliver to the Borrower (or its designee) any Collateral held by such Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Borrower such documents as the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. Any such release or termination shall be subject to the provision that the Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release or termination any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 8.7 Method of Collateral Transfer.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each item of Collateral shall be delivered to the Custodian by:

(d) with respect to such of the Collateral as constitutes an uncertificated security, causing the issuer of such uncertificated security to register the Custodian or its nominee for the account of the Custodian as the registered owner of such uncertificated security;

(e) with respect to such of the Collateral as constitutes a security entitlement, causing the Securities Intermediary to indicate by book entry that the financial asset relating to such security entitlement has been credited to the Custodial Account;

-140-

If any item of Collateral is a financial asset issued by an issuer that is not the United States of America, an agency or instrumentality thereof, or some other United States person or entity, and if such item cannot be delivered as set forth above, such item may be delivered by the Collateral Agent holding such item in an account created and maintained in the name of the Collateral Agent with a banking or securities institution or a clearing agency or system located outside the United States such that the Collateral Agent holds a first priority, perfected security interest in such item of Collateral.

The Borrower agrees to record and file after the Closing Date all appropriate UCC-1 financing statements, continuation statements, and other amendments, meeting the requirements of Applicable Law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect and protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral under the applicable UCC against all creditors of and purchasers from the Borrower. The Borrower promptly shall deliver file-stamped copies of such UCC-1 financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments to the Agents.

In connection with each transfer of an item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent and/or the Custodian, the Collateral Agent or the Custodian, as applicable, shall make appropriate notations on its records indicating that such item of the Collateral is held for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to and as provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Effective upon the transfer of an item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent and/or the Custodian, the Collateral Agent or the Custodian, as applicable, shall be deemed to acknowledge that it holds such item of Collateral as Collateral Agent or as Custodian, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not hold any item of Collateral through an agent except as expressly permitted by this Section 8.7.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall remain liable under each Related Contract, interest and obligation included in the Collateral, to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof, and shall do nothing to impair the security interest of the Collateral Agent in any Collateral. None of the Collateral Agent, the Document Custodian, the Custodian or any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any such Related Contract, interest or obligation by reason of or arising out of this

-141-

Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent, the Document Custodian, the Custodian or any Secured Party of any payment relating to any such Related Contract, interest or obligation pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent, the Document Custodian, the Custodian or any Secured Party be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of the Borrower thereunder or pursuant thereto, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such Related Contract, interest or obligation, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amount thereunder to which it may be entitled at any time.

Section 8.9 Reports.

(a) The Collateral Administrator shall deliver or make available to the Borrower by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on each Business Day a report describing all Money (including but not limited to a breakdown of all such amounts into Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds) and other property received by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on the preceding Business Day (the “Daily Report”). If any Money or property shall be received by the Collateral Agent on a day that is not a Business Day, the Collateral Administrator shall deliver the Daily Report with respect thereto to the Borrower on the next Business Day.

(b) The Collateral Administrator shall compile and provide, subject to the Collateral Administrator’s receipt from the Services Provider, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, such information with respect to the Collateral Loans and Eligible Investments to the extent not maintained or in the possession of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Report, and the Payment Date Report in accordance with Exhibit D and Exhibit E hereof, respectively, and prepare drafts of such Collateral Report and Payment Date Report and provide such drafts to the Services Provider for review and approval; provided that each such draft is to be provided no later than four days prior to the date the Collateral Report or the Payment Date Report, as applicable, is due. The Borrower shall cause the Services Provider to review and confirm the calculations made by the Collateral Administrator in such Collateral Report or Payment Date Report within one Business Day prior to the due date of the Collateral Report or the Payment Date Report.

The Services Provider, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower shall cooperate with the Collateral Administrator in connection with the preparation by the Collateral Administrator of Collateral Reports and Payment Date Reports. The Services Provider shall review and verify the contents of the aforesaid reports, instructions, statements and certificates, and upon verification shall make such reports available to the applicable Rating Agency.

(c) The Collateral Administrator may conclusively rely on and without any investigation, information provided by the Services Provider, the Collateral Agent, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in preparation of the Collateral Report and the Payment Date Report. Nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Administrator to review or examine such information for accuracy, correctness or validity.

-142-

The Collateral Administrator will make the Collateral Report and Payment Date Report available via its internet website. The Collateral Administrator’s internet website shall initially be located at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. The Collateral Administrator may change the way such statements are distributed. As a condition to access to the Collateral Administrator’s internet website, the Collateral Administrator may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. The Collateral Administrator shall be entitled to rely on but shall not be responsible for the content or accuracy of any information provided in the Collateral Report and the Payment Date Report which the Collateral Administrator disseminates in accordance with this Agreement and may affix thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion.

(d) 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 issuer of the Collateral Loan 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 as provided herein.

(e) The Collateral Administrator shall have no liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of the Services Provider or the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to the Collateral Administrator, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on the Collateral Administrator’s part of any of its duties hereunder that is caused by or results from any such inaccurate, incomplete or untimely information received by it, or other failure on the part of any such other party to comply with the terms hereof.

(f) If, in performing its duties under this Section 8.9 in connection with compiling and delivering reports, the Collateral Administrator is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Administrator may request written instructions from the Services Provider, acting on behalf of the Borrower, as to the course of action desired by it. If the Collateral Administrator does not receive such instructions within three Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Administrator may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action. The Collateral Administrator shall act in accordance with instructions received after such three-Business Day period except to the extent it has already taken, or committed itself to take action inconsistent with such instructions. The Collateral Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the advice of legal counsel and independent accountants in performing its duties hereunder and shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if it acts in accordance with such advice.

If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any Applicable Law, rule or regulation, or any change in any Applicable Law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender in good faith with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund its Term SOFR Loans (if any) and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Term SOFR Loans (if any) shall be suspended (provided that such Lender shall instead fund ABR Loans (or in the case of outstanding Loans, such Loans will be converted to ABR Loans at the end of such Interest Period, or sooner if required by law)). Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.2, such Lender shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice and would not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If circumstances subsequently change so that it is no longer unlawful for an affected Lender to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans as contemplated hereunder, such Lender will, as soon as reasonably practicable after such Lender becomes aware of such change in circumstances, notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent and upon receipt of such notice, the obligations of such Lender to make or continue Term SOFR Loans shall be reinstated.

Section 11.3 Taxes.

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

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan 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 an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable

-151-

Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the 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 11.3) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

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

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified 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 12.6(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

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

(g) (i) Status of Lenders. Each Any that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested

-152-

by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Section 11.3) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

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

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

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or applicable successor form); 139

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a

-153-

certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Foreign 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 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as 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 applicable successor form); or

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

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), 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 Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, 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.

-154-

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

(h) On or before the date of this Agreement (and on or before the date any successor or replacement Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder), to the extent copies thereof have not previously been so delivered, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower to the extent it is legally able to do so, two duly executed copies of either (i) IRS Form W-9 (or an applicable successor form) or (ii) IRS Form W-8IMY (or an applicable successor form) certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” of a foreign bank and evidencing its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. person with respect to payments made to it by any Borrower.

(i) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), 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 (i) (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 (i), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (i) 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.

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

Section 11.4 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any Applicable Law, rule or regulation, or any change in any Applicable Law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having

-155-

the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Federal Reserve Board, special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office)) or shall impose on any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Term SOFR Loans, its Notes evidencing Term SOFR Loans, or its obligation to make Term SOFR Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Notes with respect thereto (other than any increased costs on account of (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (z) Connection Income Taxes), such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction shall constitute “Increased Costs” payable by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 9.1(a) and 6.4.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any Applicable Law, rule or regulation regarding liquidity or capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, upon demand (which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand for compensation) by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the applicable Rating Agency), such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction (to the extent funds are available therefor in accordance with the Priority of Payments) shall constitute “Increased Costs” payable by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 9.1(a) and 6.4.

(c) Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 11.4 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 11.4 and setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be delivered in connection with any request for compensation and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation under this Section 11.4 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 11.4 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date on which the applicable Lender notifies the Borrower; provided that if the event 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.

-156-

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated (i) by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority), the Committee of European Banking Supervisors or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III or similar capital requirements directive existing on the Closing Date impacting European banks and other regulated financial institutions, (ii) pursuant to the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (iii) in connection with the EU Retention Requirements shall, in each case, be deemed to be a change or adoption of any law, rule or regulation for purposes of this Section 11.4, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be responsible for any increased costs relating to the EU Retention Requirements so long as the Retention Holder is in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Retention Letter.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.4, the Borrower shall not be required to pay amounts to any Lender under this Section 11.4 to the extent such amounts would be duplicative of amounts payable by the Borrower under Section 11.3. To the extent the Borrower is required to pay any Lender additional amounts or indemnify any Lender in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to Section 11.3, the provisions of Section 11.3 shall control.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay additional amounts to a Lender pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 11.4 to the extent any such additional amounts are attributable to a failure by a Lender to comply with its obligations under the EU Retention Requirements that are within its control.

Section 11.5 Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 11.3, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.3 in the future, and would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) (x) If and for so long as any Lender is (1) a Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, (2) requesting compensation under Section 11.4 or (3) unable to make Loans under Section 11.2, (y) if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to such Lender or any authority for the account of such Lender pursuant to Section 11.3 or (z) if and for so long as the obligations of any Lender under this Agreement are the subject of a Bail-In Action, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender, the Agents and the applicable Rating Agency, direct such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall

-157-

comply with such direction but shall have no obligation to search for, seek, designate or otherwise try to find, an assignee), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.6), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes to a financial institution that is (I) eligible to purchase the replaced Lender’s Loans under the terms hereof, (II) not prohibited by any Applicable Law from making such purchase and (III) not the subject of a Bail-In Action with respect to its obligations hereunder (such purchaser, an “Approved Purchaser”), which shall assume such obligations (and which may be another Lender, if such other Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) such assigning Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under its Note (including any amounts under Section 2.8) from such Approved Purchaser (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(ii) in the case of any such assignment or delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 11.4, or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 11.3, such assignment or delegation will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iii) such assignment or delegation does not conflict with any Applicable Law.

The Borrower may also, at is sole expense and effort, upon notice to any Non-Consenting Lender and the Agents, prepay (without penalty) the aggregate outstanding principal of the Loans of any Non-Consenting Lender.

(c) If and for so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender hereunder (x) the Commitment and Loans of any such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Lenders or Majority Revolving Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 12.5); provided that (i) a Defaulting Lender’s vote shall be included with respect to any action hereunder relating to any change that would require the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender under Section 12.5 (to the extent such Defaulting Lender is such an affected Lender) and (ii) a Defaulting Lender shall retain its voting rights if such Defaulting Lender is the only Lender, which vote shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (y) no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which time 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 that Defaulting Lender during such time).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.5(b) to the contrary a Lender shall not be required to make any assignment or delegation referred to in Section 11.5(b) if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or the Borrower or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply and such Lender gives notice thereof to the Borrower.

-158-

(e) Each of the Administrative Agent and any replaced Lender will agree to cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Borrower for the purpose of effecting a transfer in compliance with this Section 11.5.

(f) Nothing in this Section 11.5 shall be deemed to release a Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender from any liability arising from its failure to fund any Loans it is required to make hereunder.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.1 Notices.

All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, facsimile, facsimile transmission, email or similar writing) and shall be given to such party: (i) in the case of the Borrower, the Services Provider, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian or the Document Custodian, at its address, facsimile number and/or email address set forth on the signature pages hereof, (ii)(A) in the case of any of the Initial Lenders, at its address, facsimile number and/or email address set forth on the signature pages hereof and (B) in the case of any other Lender, at its address, facsimile number and/or email address set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire (which notices shall be solely by facsimile or email if so indicated therein), (iii) in the case of S&P, (A) any credit estimate related notifications/requests should be sent to by email to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx; (B) any S&P CDO Monitor requests should be sent by email to XXXXxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx and (C) any other requests should be sent by email to xxx_xxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx or (iv) in the case of any party, such other address, facsimile number and/or email address as such party may hereafter specify for such purpose by notice to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (w) if given by facsimile, when such facsimile is transmitted to the facsimile number specified in this Section 12.1 and the appropriate answerback is received, (x) if given by certified or registered mail, upon delivery, (y) if given by recognized courier guaranteeing overnight delivery, one Business Day after such communication is delivered to such courier or (z) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address or email address specified in this Section 12.1; provided that notices to the Administrative Agent under Article XI or to the Collateral Agent under Article VIII shall not be effective until received.

The Collateral Agent agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement sent by unsecured email, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided that any person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to the Collateral Agent an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to provide such instructions or directions, which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person is added or deleted from the listing. If such person elects to give the Collateral Agent email or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Collateral Agent in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Collateral Agent’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Collateral Agent’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting

-159-

with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Any person providing such instructions acknowledges and agrees that there may be more secure methods of transmitting such instructions than the method(s) selected by it and agrees that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of such instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances.

Section 12.2 No Waivers.

No failure or delay by either Agent, any Lender or the Borrower in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 12.3 Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Agents, the Custodian, the Document Custodian, the Securities Intermediary and each Lender, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with the preparation, syndications and administration of this Agreement, the Loan Documents and any documents and instruments referred to therein, and further modifications or syndications of the Loans in connection therewith, the administration of the Loans, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment or modification hereof or any Default; and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent and any Lender, including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel for each Agent, in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents and the instruments referred to therein and such collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian, the Document Custodian, the Securities Intermediary and each Lender, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel for each Agent, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, (i) any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document, (ii) the grant to the Collateral Agent, the Lenders of any Lien, on the Collateral, (iii) the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders or of their rights and remedies (including, without limitation, foreclosure) under any agreements creating any such Lien, (iv) the failure of the Collateral Agent to have a valid and perfected Lien on any Collateral, (v) a breach by the Borrower of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document or any document relating to any Collateral or (vi) any loss arising from any action or inaction of the

-160-

Borrower or any of its Affiliates regarding the administration of any Collateral or otherwise relating to such Collateral (other than an Obligor’s financial inability to make payments with respect to any such Collateral) but excluding, in each case, as to any Indemnitee, any such losses, liabilities, damages, expenses or costs incurred by reason of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Indemnitee with respect to its obligations under this Agreement as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable decision. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 12.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations and the resignation or removal of an Agent. For the sake of clarity, this Section 12.3(b) apply with respect to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

Section 12.4 Sharing of Set-Offs.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower then due and payable to such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender.

Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts due with respect to any Loan held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts due with respect to the Loans held by such other Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans held by the other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts with respect to the Loans held by the Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section 12.4 shall impair the right of any Lender to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of Indebtedness of the Borrower other than its Indebtedness under the Loans. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any holder of a participation in a Loan, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, by separate agreement with the Borrower, waive its right to set off contained herein or granted by law and any such written waiver shall be effective against such Lender under this Section 12.4. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 12.4, a pro rata allocation will mean an allocation of the amount received by such set-off or counterclaim and other rights as if such amount had been applied as a prepayment of the Loans under Section 2.7.

-161-

(ii) no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all Lenders affected thereby, postpone, delay or extend the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees or other amounts hereunder or for any increase, reduction or termination (or period of time with respect to the termination) of any Commitment;

(iii) no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by the applicable Lender, reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan held by such Lender or any fees or indemnities payable for the account of such Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the rescission of interest accruing at the Post-Default Rate, which may be rescinded only by the Majority Lenders in writing;

-162-

or more than $75,000,000 if such Commitment had not been reduced per Section 2.7, consent of such Lender shall be required) and (ii) after the Reinvestment Period, all Lenders other than Lenders whose Commitment is less than $75,000,000 as of the last date of the Reinvestment Period (provided that if a Lender had or would have had a Commitment of equal to or more than $75,000,000 if such Commitment had not been reduced per Section 2.7, consent of such Lender shall be required).

(e) The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance related to Alternate Base Rate, Term SOFR, Benchmark, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark replacement referred to in the definition of Benchmark herein) and/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 any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential

-163-

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 so long as the rate (or component thereof) used by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith is consistent with the such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Section 12.6 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders except as permitted by this Agreement.

(b) (i) Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more banks, commercial paper conduits or other institutions (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any or all of its Loans; provided that each such Participant represents in writing to such Lender that it (and each account for which it is acquiring such participating interest) is a “qualified purchaser” for purposes of Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b).

(ii) In the event any Lender sells a participation in any or all of its Loans hereunder, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 11.3 and 11.4 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 11.3(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 11.3(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 11.4(c) as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 11.3 or 11.4, 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 such Participant acquired the applicable interest. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 11.5(b) with respect to any Participant.

(iii) In the event that any Lender sells participations in any or all of its Loans hereunder, such Lender shall, acting solely for this purposes as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of all Participants in the Loans held by it and the principal amount of (and stated interest thereon) the portion of

-164-

the Loans which is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). A Loan may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register. Any participation of such Loan may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. 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 Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version). 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.

(c) (i) With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and the Borrower (provided that such consent will not be required for an assignment to any existing Lender or Affiliate of a Lender or any assignment during the existence of an Event of Default), any Lender may at any time assign to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by such Assignee and such transferor Lender; provided that such assignment is in an amount which is at least $10,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or the remainder of such Lender’s Loans).

(ii) Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights, protections and obligations of a Lender with Commitments as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, a new Note is issued to the Assignee. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500 (unless such fee is waived by the Administrative Agent). Each Assignee shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9 (or other applicable tax form) and any documentation and other information reasonably requested in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act.

(d) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder. Promptly upon being notified in writing of such transfer, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower thereof.

-165-

(e) Reserved.

(f) The Administrative Agent, acting as non-fiduciary agent (solely for this purpose) of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and the principal amount of (and stated interest thereon) the Loans owing to each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or Note hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or Note hereunder shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. If any assignment or transfer of all or any part of a Loan that is then evidenced by a Note is made, such assignment or transfer shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the related Note, duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or transfer duly executed by) the holder thereof, and thereupon one or more new Note(s) in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee(s) (and, if applicable, assignor) and the old Note shall be returned to the Borrower marked “cancelled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. The Administrative Agent shall provide to the Collateral Agent from time to time at the written request of the Collateral Agent information related to the Lenders (including, without limitation, all wire instructions and other information necessary for distributions to the Lenders hereunder).

Section 12.7 Collateral; QP Status.

Each of the Lenders represents to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each of the other Lenders, and the Borrower that (i) it (and each account for which it is acquiring a Loan) is a “qualified purchaser” for purposes of Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act and (ii) it in good faith (and in reliance on the accuracy as to factual matters of the representations contained in the first two sentences of Section 4.10) is not relying upon any Margin Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereunder intend that the advances made pursuant to this Agreement constitute loans and not securities.

(b) Each Lender and each Agent (other than the Collateral Agent) hereby agrees that it will not institute against the Borrower any proceeding seeking a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors’ rights, present a petition for the winding-up or liquidation of the Borrower or seek the appointment of an administrator, provisional liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for the Borrower or for all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower prior to the date that is one year and one day (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) after the payment in full of all Obligations and any securities issued by the Borrower that refinance any of the Obligations.

The Document Custodian hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and obligations with respect thereto set forth herein for the benefit of the Secured Parties until its removal or resignation as Document Custodian pursuant to the terms hereof. The Administrative Agent hereby designates and appoints the Document Custodian to act as its agent and hereby authorizes the Document Custodian to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly granted to the Document Custodian by this Agreement. The rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall also be afforded to the Document Custodian.

(b) Delivery of Related Contracts. In connection with each Collateral Loan included in the Collateral as of the Closing Date, and promptly following the acquisition of a Collateral Loan after the date hereof, the Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Document Custodian the Related Contracts in respect of each Collateral Loan in physical or electronic form, as applicable; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any Related Contracts which constitute securities required to be delivered by the Borrower under Section 8.7(b) or (c) shall be delivered to the Custodian in accordance with such Section. In connection with delivery of any Related Contracts to the Document Custodian for any Collateral Loan, the Borrower (or the Services Provider on behalf of the Borrower) shall deliver a Document Checklist (or, if applicable, an updated Document Checklist) for such Collateral Loan. All Related Contracts that are delivered to the Document Custodian shall be delivered to the Document Custodian at its document custody office located at Alter Domus (US) LLC, 000 X. Xxxxxxxxxx Xx., 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Doc Custody and Legal Department, or at such other office as shall be specified to the Borrower, the Services Provider, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent by the Document Custodian in a written notice prior to such change (such office, the “Document Custodian Office”). The Document Custodian shall have no obligation to review or monitor any Related Contracts but shall only be required to hold those Related Contracts received by it in safekeeping.

-174-

(c) Duties. From the Closing Date until its resignation or removal pursuant to Section 14.9, the Document Custodian shall perform the following duties and obligations:

(i) The Document Custodian shall accept delivery and retain custody of the Related Contracts listed on the related Document Checklist delivered by the Borrower pursuant to clause (b) above in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all for the benefit of the Secured Parties. All Related Contracts shall be kept in fire resistant vaults, rooms or cabinets at the Document Custodian Office. All Related Contracts shall be placed together with an appropriate identifying label and maintained in such a manner so as to permit retrieval and access. The Document Custodian shall segregate the Related Contracts on its inventory system and will not commingle the physical Related Contracts with any other files of the Document Custodian other than those, if any, relating to the Borrower and its subsidiaries.

(ii) In taking and retaining custody of the Related Contracts, the Document Custodian shall be deemed to be acting as the agent of the Secured Parties; provided that, the Document Custodian makes no representations as to the existence, perfection, enforceability or priority of any Lien on the Related Contracts or the instruments therein or as to the adequacy or sufficiency of such Related Contracts; provided further that the Document Custodian’s duties shall be limited to those expressly contemplated herein.

(iii) On and after the Closing Date, the Document Custodian shall provide the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Services Provider access to an electronic database maintained by the Document Custodian, which such database shall identify the Related Contracts delivered to the Document Custodian per the Document Checklist.

(iv) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in the Loan Documents, the Document Custodian shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any party hereto or any Secured Party in its capacity as such, and no implied covenants, functions, obligations or responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist against the Document Custodian. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby expressly agreed and stipulated by the other parties hereto that the Document Custodian shall not be required to exercise any discretion hereunder and shall have no investment or management responsibility. The Document Custodian shall not be deemed to assume any obligations or liabilities of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

(v) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Document Custodian agrees to cooperate with the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and promptly deliver any Related Contracts to the Collateral Agent as requested in order to take any action that the Majority Lenders deem necessary or desirable in order for the Collateral Agent to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder. In the event the Document Custodian receives instructions from the Services Provider or the Borrower which conflict with any instructions received from the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) at any time other than following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Document Custodian shall rely on and follow the instructions given by the Collateral Agent. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Document Custodian shall rely on and follow only the instructions given by the Collateral Agent and shall not follow any instructions given by the Borrower or the Services Provider.

-175-

(vi) The Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent (each acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) may direct the Document Custodian in writing to take any action incidental to its duties hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Document Custodian hereunder, the Document Custodian shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable; provided that the Document Custodian shall not be required to take any such action at the direction of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Document Custodian, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Document Custodian to liability hereunder (unless it has been provided with an indemnity agreement (including the indemnity provisions contained herein and in the other Loan Documents) which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto). In the event the Document Custodian requests the consent of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the Document Custodian does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, within 10 Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.

(vii) The Document Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Document Custodian or the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. The Document Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including an Event of Default, unless an Administrative Officer of the Document Custodian has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Event of Default.” In the absence of receipt of such notice, the Document Custodian may conclusively assume that there is no Event of Default.

Section 14.2 Document Custodian Compensation.

As compensation for its custodial activities hereunder, the Document Custodian shall be entitled to compensation from the Borrower as set forth in the Document Custodian Fee Letter. The Document Custodian’s entitlement to receive such compensation shall cease on the earlier to occur of (i) the effective date of its removal as Document Custodian pursuant to Section 14.9 of this Agreement, (b) the effective date of its resignation as Document Custodian pursuant to Section 14.9 of this Agreement or (c) the termination of this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Document Custodian shall remain entitled to receive, as and when such amounts are payable under the terms of this Agreement, any unpaid fees prior to the release of all Related Contracts from the custody of the Document Custodian.

-176-

Section 14.3 Limitation on Liability.

(a) The Document Custodian may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, instruction, statement, request, waiver, consent, report, letter or other document delivered to it and that in good faith it reasonably believes to be genuine and that has been signed by the proper party or parties. The Document Custodian shall not be bound to make any independent investigation into the facts or matters stated in any such notice, instruction, statement certificate, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt or other paper or document. The Document Custodian may rely conclusively on and shall be fully protected in acting upon the written instructions of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and no party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Document Custodian as a result of the Document Custodian acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. The Document Custodian may consult counsel satisfactory to 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 by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(b) Neither the Document Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be liable for any error of judgment, or for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Document Custodian under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction).

(c) The Document Custodian makes no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Related Contracts, the Collateral Loans or any other Collateral, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity or value of any of the Collateral.

(d) It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Document Custodian is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any other Loan Document. In case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Document Custodian may, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, request instructions from the Borrower or the Services Provider and may, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, request instructions from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (each on behalf of the Majority Lenders), and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from such Persons, as applicable. The Document Custodian shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. In no event shall the Document Custodian be liable for punitive, special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Document Custodian has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

-177-

(e) The Document Custodian shall have no responsibilities or duties with respect to any Related Contract while such Related Contract is not in its possession.

Section 14.4 Document Custodian Resignation.

Upon the effective date of the Document Custodian’s resignation pursuant to Section 14.9, or if the Document Custodian is given written notice of an earlier termination hereof pursuant to Section 14.9, the Document Custodian shall (i) deliver all of the Related Contracts in the possession of Document Custodian to the successor Document Custodian, and (ii) be reimbursed for any costs and expenses Document Custodian shall incur in connection with the termination of its duties under this Agreement.

Section 14.5 Release of Documents.

(a) Release for Servicing. From time to time and as appropriate for the enforcement or servicing of any of the Related Contracts or the related Collateral, so long as no Event of Default then exists, the Document Custodian is hereby authorized (unless and until such authorization is revoked by the Administrative Agent), upon written receipt from an authorized representative of the Services Provider (as listed on Exhibit K, as such exhibit may be amended from time to time by the Services Provider with notice to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Document Custodian) of a request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H, to release to the Services Provider within five Business Days of receipt of such request, the relevant Related Contracts set forth in such request. All documents so released to the Services Provider shall be held by the Services Provider in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Services Provider shall return to the Document Custodian the Related Contracts when the Services Provider’s need therefor in connection with such enforcement or servicing no longer exists, unless the relevant Collateral shall be liquidated, in which case, an authorized representative of the Services Provider (as listed on Exhibit K, as such exhibit may be amended from time to time by the Services Provider with notice to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Document Custodian) shall deliver an additional request for release of documents to the Document Custodian and receipt certifying such liquidation from the Services Provider to the Collateral Agent and the Document Custodian, all in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H.

(b) Limitation on Release. During the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the foregoing clause (a) with respect to the release to the Services Provider of the Related Contracts by the Document Custodian upon written receipt from an authorized representative of the Services Provider of a request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H, shall be operative only to the extent that the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) has consented to such release by signing such request. Promptly after delivery to the Document Custodian of any request for release of documents in the form of Exhibit H, the Services Provider shall provide notice of the same to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Release for Payment. Upon receipt by the Document Custodian of the Services Provider’s request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with any liquidation have been credited to the Collection Account), the Document Custodian shall promptly release the relevant Related Contracts to the Services Provider.

-178-

(d) Shipment of Related Contracts. Written instructions as to the method of shipment and shipper(s) the Document Custodian is requesting to utilize in connection with the transmission of Related Contracts in the performance of the Document Custodian’s duties hereunder shall be delivered by the Borrower, the Services Provider or the Majority Lenders to the Document Custodian prior to any shipment of any Related Contracts hereunder. The Services Provider shall arrange for the provision of such services at the cost and expense of the Borrower (or, at the Document Custodian’s option, the Borrower shall reimburse the Document Custodian for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Document Custodian consistent with such instructions) and shall maintain such insurance against loss or damage to the Related Contracts as the Services Provider deems appropriate.

Section 14.6 Return of Related Contracts.

An authorized representative of the Services Provider (as listed on Exhibit K, as such exhibit may be amended from time to time by the Services Provider with notice to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Document Custodian) may request that the Document Custodian return each Related Contract that is (a) delivered to the Document Custodian in error or (b) released from the Lien of the Collateral Agent hereunder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in each case by submitting to the Document Custodian and the Collateral Agent a written request in the form of Exhibit H hereto (signed by both the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) specifying the Related Contracts to be so returned and reciting that the conditions to such release have been met (and specifying the Section or Sections of this Agreement being relied upon for such release). The Document Custodian shall upon its receipt of each such request in the form of Exhibit H promptly, but in any event within five Business Days, return the Related Contracts so requested to the Services Provider.

Section 14.7 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Related Contracts.

The Document Custodian shall provide to the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent access to the Related Contracts including in such cases where the Collateral Agent is required in connection with the enforcement of the rights or interests of the Secured Parties, or by applicable statutes or regulations, to review such documentation, such access being afforded at the expense of the Borrower pursuant to the this Agreement and only (a) upon two Business Days prior written request, (b) during normal business hours and (c) subject to the Document Custodian’s normal security and confidentiality procedures. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.7, from time to time on request of the Administrative Agent, the Document Custodian shall permit certified public accountants or other auditors acceptable to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) to conduct, at the expense of the Borrower, a review of the Related Contracts; provided that prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, such review shall be conducted no more than once in any calendar year.

-179-

Section 14.8 Custodian Agent.

The Document Custodian agrees that, with respect to any Related Contracts at any time or times in its possession, the Document Custodian shall be the agent of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for purposes of perfecting (to the extent not otherwise perfected) the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral and for the purpose of ensuring that such security interest is entitled to first priority status under the UCC.

Section 14.9 Removal and Resignation.

(a) Document Custodian may be removed, with or without cause, by the Administrative Agent upon 30 days prior written notice to the Document Custodian (the “Document Custodian Termination Notice”); provided that, notwithstanding its receipt of a Document Custodian Termination Notice, the Document Custodian shall continue to act in such capacity (and, for the avoidance of doubt, so long as it continues to act in such capacity, shall continue to receive any fees and any other amounts to which it is entitled to receive in such capacity under the terms of this Agreement and the Document Custodian Fee Letter) until a successor Document Custodian has been appointed and has agreed to act as Document Custodian hereunder.

(b) Document Custodian may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder, not earlier than thirty (30) days after delivery to the Administrative Agent of written notice of such resignation specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. If no successor collateral custodian has accepted appointment as the Document Custodian by the date thirty (30) days following a resigning Document Custodian’s notice of resignation, the resigning Document Custodian’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Collateral Agent (or its designee) shall perform the duties of the Document Custodian hereunder until such time, if any, as the Collateral Agent appoints a successor Document Custodian. Upon the effective date of such resignation, or if the Administrative Agent gives Document Custodian written notice of an earlier termination hereof, Document Custodian shall (i) be reimbursed for any costs and expenses Document Custodian shall incur in connection with the termination of its duties under this Agreement and (ii) deliver all of the required Loan Documents in the possession of Document Custodian to the Administrative Agent or to such Person as the Administrative Agent may designate to Document Custodian in writing upon the receipt of a request in the form of Exhibit H.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Document Custodian shall be entitled to receive, as and when such amounts are payable in accordance with this Agreement, any fees accrued through the effective date of its resignation pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 14.9.

ARTICLE XV

QFC STAY RULES

Section 15.1 Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that this Agreement provides support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Interest Hedge 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

-180-

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 this Agreement 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 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 this Agreement 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 this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. 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.

Solely for the purpose of determining the S&P Recovery Rate for such loan, no loan will constitute a “Senior Secured Loan” or Senior Secured Bond unless such loan (a) is secured by a valid first priority security interest in collateral, (b) in the Services Provider’s commercially reasonable judgment (with such determination being made in good faith by the Services Provider at the time of such loan’s or bond’s purchase and based upon information reasonably available to the Services Provider at such time and without any requirement of additional investigation beyond the Services Provider’s customary credit review procedures), is secured by specified collateral that has a value not less than an amount equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all loans/bonds senior or pari passu to such loans/bonds and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of such loan or bond, which value may be derived from, among other things, the enterprise value of the issuer of such loan, excluding any loan secured primarily by equity or goodwill and (c) is not secured primarily by common stock or other equity interests (provided that the terms of this footnote may be amended or revised at any time by a written agreement of the Borrower, the Services Provider and the Administrative Agent (without the consent of any Lender), subject to Rating Agency Confirmation from S&P only, in order to conform to S&P then-current criteria for such loans). For the avoidance of doubt, if a Cov-Lite Loan is also a First Lien/Last Out Loan, a Second Lien Loan or an Unsecured Loan, the S&P Recovery Rate for such loan will be determined in accordance with “Second Lien Loans, First Lien/Last Out Loans, Unsecured Loans” hereunder.

**	In each case, or such other countries identified as such by S&P in a press release, written criteria or other public announcement from time to time or as may be notified by S&P to the Services Provider from time to time.

[Affected Lender(s)]

Re: Retention of Net Economic Interest

1. This letter is being delivered in connection with the Credit Agreement dated as of July 15, 2022 (the “Credit Agreement”) among Athena Funding I LLC, as borrower (the “Borrower”), the financial institutions referred to as “Lenders” in the Credit Agreement, State Street Bank and Trust Company, in its capacities as Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator and Custodian and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as Document Custodian, and Société Générale, as Administrative Agent. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Owl Rock Technology Finance Corp. II (the “Retention Holder”) will act as retention holder for the purposes of the EU Retention Requirements. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

Exh. G-1

2. It is acknowledged that clause (e) of the definition of “Eligibility Criteria” in the Credit Agreement provides for the following requirements to be satisfied as of the date of each acquisition of a Collateral Loan (including in connection with a substitution pursuant to Section 10.1(a) of the Credit Agreement):

“(e) if an acquisition or substitution of a Collateral Loan occurs on such date of determination, as of such date, or, if not, as of the most recent date preceding such date of determination on which an acquisition or substitution of a Collateral Loan occurred, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Collateral Loans held by the Borrower (immediately following any acquisition or substitution of any Collateral Loans on such date of determination) in respect of which the Retention Holder, either itself or through related entities (including the Borrower), directly or indirectly, was involved or will be involved in negotiating the original agreement which created the relevant Collateral Loan is greater than 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Collateral Loans then held by the Borrower.”

3. The Retention Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes and agrees for the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Affected Lender for so long as any Obligation remains outstanding and the EU Retention Requirements so require:

that it will retain as originator for the purposes of the EU Retention Requirements, on an ongoing basis, a material net economic interest in the securitisation transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents in the form specified in paragraph (d) of Article 6(3) of the Securitisation Regulation by holding 100% of the Equity Interests in the Borrower (the “Retained Interest”);

that at any time the excess of (i) the sum of the Aggregate Principal Balance of all Collateral Loans then held by the Borrower and the amount then standing to the credit of the Principal Collection Account (including any portion of such amount invested in Eligible Investments) (the “Aggregate Principal Asset Balance”) over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding at such time shall be equal to or greater than 5% of the Aggregate Principal Asset Balance;

that it shall not, and shall procure that its Affiliates do not, sell, hedge or otherwise mitigate its credit risk under or associated with the Retained Interest, except to the extent permitted in accordance with the EU Retention Requirements;

that it established the transaction contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

that, on any date on which the Borrower acquires a Collateral Loan or a Collateral Loan is substituted by the Borrower, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Collateral Loans held by the Borrower (immediately following any acquisition, or substitution of any Collateral Loans on such date of determination) in respect of which the Retention Holder, either itself or through related entities (including the Borrower), directly or indirectly, was involved or will be involved in negotiating the original agreement which created the relevant Collateral Loan (such Collateral Loans, “Retention Holder Originated Collateral Loans”) will be greater than 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Collateral Loans then held by the Borrower;

Exh. G-2

that it has a business strategy and the capacity to meet payment obligations consistent with a broader business enterprise and involving material support from capital, assets, fees or other income available to it, relying neither on the Collateral Loans or other exposures securitized by it nor on the Retained Interest or any other interests retained or proposed to be retained, as well as any corresponding income from such exposures and interests;

that its responsible decision-makers have the required experience to enable it to pursue its business strategy, as well as an adequate corporate governance arrangement;

that each Retention Holder Originated Collateral Loan acquired by or substituted to, the Borrower, whether prior to or following the Closing Date, has been and will be originated on the basis of sound and well-defined criteria and clearly established processes for approving, amending, renewing and financing those credits and it has effective systems in place to apply those criteria and processes to ensure that credit-granting is based on a thorough assessment of each obligor’s creditworthiness;

that it has not and will not select Collateral Loans to be acquired by or substituted to, the Borrower with the aim of rendering losses on such Collateral Loans, measured over the period during which Obligations are outstanding higher than the losses over the same period on comparable assets held on its balance sheet;

that it will confirm in writing its continued compliance with the requirements set forth in clauses (a) through (i) above to the Borrower (who shall furnish such information to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Affected Lender):

on a monthly basis pursuant to Section 5.1(r)(iii) of the Credit Agreement (concurrent with the delivery of each Collateral Report);

ii.

upon any written request therefor by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Affected Lender delivered as a result of a material change in (x) the performance of the Loans, (y) the risk characteristics of the transaction, or (z) the Collateral Loans from time to time, pursuant to Section 5.1(r)(iv) of the Credit Agreement; and

iii.

promptly upon the Borrower and/or the Retention Holder becoming aware of any material breach of the obligations included in any Loan Document, pursuant to Section 5.1(r)(ii) of the Credit Agreement;

that it will, promptly following a request by any Affected Lender, provide a refreshed letter in substantially the form of this letter in connection with a material amendment of any Loan Document, in each case where the Borrower has received a request for the same from an Affected Lender pursuant to Section 5.1(r)(i) of the Credit Agreement;

Exh. G-3

it shall notify the Borrower, each Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent as soon as reasonably practical if for any reason: (i) it has ceased to hold the Retained Interest in accordance with paragraph (a) above; or (ii) it has failed in any way to comply with any of the undertakings set out in paragraphs (b), (c), (e), (g) or (h) above; and

that it will, promptly following a request by an Affected Lender, provide such additional information as such Affected Lender may reasonably request in order for such Affected Lender to comply with the Securitisation Regulation which is either in the possession of the Retention Holder or can be obtained at no material cost to the Retention Holder.

4. The Retention Holder hereby makes the following representations for the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Affected Lender:

the Retention Holder is a corporation, duly established and validly existing under the laws of Maryland, and has full power and authority to own its assets proposed to be owned by it including the Retained Interest and to transact the business in which it is presently engaged;

the Retention Holder has full power and authority to execute and deliver this letter and to perform all of its obligations required hereunder and has taken all necessary action to authorize this letter on the terms and conditions hereof and the execution, delivery and performance of this letter and the performance of all obligations imposed upon it hereunder;

no consent of any other person, including, without limitation, investors in and creditors of the Retention Holder, and no license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to, or registration, filing or declaration with, any governmental authority, other than those that have been or shall be obtained in connection with this letter, is required by the Retention Holder in connection with this letter or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this letter or the obligations imposed upon it hereunder;

this letter constitutes the legally valid and binding obligations of the Retention Holder enforceable against the Retention Holder in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to (i) the effect of bankruptcy, examination, insolvency or similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights, as such laws would apply in the event of any bankruptcy, examination, receivership, insolvency or similar event applicable to the Retention Holder and (ii) general equitable principles (whether enforceability of such principles is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity); and

Exh. G-4

the execution, delivery and performance of this letter will not violate any provision of any existing law or regulation binding on the Retention Holder, or any order, judgment, award or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority binding on the Retention Holder, or the organizational documents of, or any securities issued by, the Retention Holder, the violation of which would reasonably be expected to adversely affect in a material manner its ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

5. The Retention Holder hereby confirms that it has reviewed the Loan Documents and has participated in the selection of the Collateral Loans, if any, transferred to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date.

6. This letter shall not be assignable by the Retention Holder without the prior written consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Affected Lender. This letter may not be amended or any provision hereof waived or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Retention Holder, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Affected Lender. This letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this letter by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. This letter supersedes all prior understandings, whether written or oral, between us with respect to the matters set forth herein.

7. THIS LETTER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Each of the parties hereto and, by its acceptance hereof, each addressee of this letter hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this letter or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court, (b) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this letter or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in any New York State court or in any such Federal court and (c) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

8. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY PARTY RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS LETTER.
