(D) If the Borrower disputes the adjusted Assigned Value pursuant to sub-clause (A) above, the Assigned Value adjusted by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (ii) above shall remain the Assigned Value, until the Assigned Value is adjusted pursuant to sub-clause (A) above or, if applicable, until the Assigned Value is adjusted pursuant to sub-cause (C) above.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Servicer of any change effected by the Administrative Agent of the Assigned Value of any Loan Asset.

With respect to any Eligible Loan Asset (other than a Broadly Syndicated Loan) included in the Collateral and with respect to which the Borrower has requested that an Incremental Loan Asset be added to the Collateral, the Assigned Value of such Eligible Loan Asset (both the existing Loan Asset and the Incremental Loan Asset) as of the Cut-Off Date relating to the addition of such Incremental Loan Asset to the Collateral shall be the weighted average of (i) the then-current Assigned Value for the existing portion of such Eligible Loan Asset and (ii) the Assigned Value determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this definition for such Incremental Loan Asset.

(i) If a Value Adjustment Event of the type described in (I) clause (b), clause (c), clause (d) and clause (i) of the definition thereof with respect to such Loan Asset occurs and one or more dealer bid prices have been determined in the previous two (2) consecutive days by Markit Group Limited with respect to such Loan Asset, the Assigned Value of such Loan Asset will be the value assigned by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (which may be zero) or, if no such value is assigned by the Administrative Agent, zero or (II) clause (b), clause (c), clause (d), clause (f) (solely with respect to a Material Modification described in clause (a), clause (c), clause (d) or clause (e) of the definition thereof) or clause (i) of the definition thereof with respect to such Loan Asset occurs and zero dealer bid prices have been determined in the previous two (2) consecutive days by Markit Group Limited with respect to such Loan Asset, the Assigned Value of such Loan Asset will, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, be zero.

(ii) Unless a lower value applies in accordance with clauses (B)(ii)(a) through (B)(ii)(c) of this definition set forth above, upon the occurrence of any Value Adjustment Event in respect of any Eligible Loan Asset (other than as set forth in clause (i) above), the Assigned Value (Broadly Syndicated Loan) shall, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, be the Market Value thereof as of the date of the occurrence of such Value Adjustment Event, and such Market Value shall be determined on a daily basis by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion; provided that such Market Value shall not exceed the par balance of such Eligible Loan Asset; provided, further, if a Value Adjustment Event of the type described in clause (l) of the definition thereof occurs, the Assigned Value of such Eligible Loan Asset shall be reduced by a minimum of 15%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Eligible Loan Asset that is not an Owned Asset, so long as no Unmatured Event of Default, Event of Default or MTM Event has occurred and is continuing, if the Borrower provides a bid price for any Eligible Loan Asset that is not an Owned Asset from LoanX Inc. or Markit Group Limited not later than 4:00 p.m. on the date on which the Administrative Agent provides notice of the Market Value of the Eligible Loan Asset to the Borrower and the Servicer pursuant to this clause (ii), then such bid price shall be the revised Market Value of such Eligible Loan Asset unless the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that such price does not represent the actual value of the applicable Eligible Loan Asset as of such date. If the Administrative Agent determines that such price does not represent the actual value, the original Market Value determined by the Administrative Agent shall remain the Market Value of the applicable Eligible Loan Asset unless the Borrower provides two or more Third Party Bids for such Eligible Loan Asset not later than 1:00 p.m. on the first Business Day after the date on which the Administrative Agent provides notice of the Market Value of such Eligible Loan Asset to the Borrower and the Servicer pursuant to this clause (ii), in which case the Administrative Agent shall consider the average of such Third Party Bids in determining, in its sole discretion, whether to adjust the original Market Value determination. With respect to any Owned Asset, the final Market Value as of any particular date shall be the value ultimately determined by the Administrative Agent as applied to its own account or the account of any of its Affiliates.

(iii) The Assigned Value (Broadly Syndicated Loan) of any Loan that no longer satisfies the Eligibility Criteria (after giving effect to the first proviso set forth in the lead-in paragraph to Schedule II) shall be zero.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Servicer of any change effected by the Administrative Agent of the Assigned Value (Broadly Syndicated Loan) of any Loan Asset.

With respect to any Broadly Syndicated Loan included in the Collateral and with respect to which the Borrower has requested that an Incremental Loan Asset be added to the Collateral, the Assigned Value (Broadly Syndicated Loan) of such Broadly Syndicated Loan (both the existing Loan Asset and the Incremental Loan Asset) as of the Cut-Off Date relating to the addition of such Incremental Loan Asset to the Collateral shall be the lower of (i) the then-current Assigned Value (Broadly Syndicated Loan) for the existing portion of such Broadly Syndicated Loan and (ii) the Assigned Value (Broadly Syndicated Loan) determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this definition for such Incremental Loan Asset.

ARTICLE II

THE FACILITY

Section 2.01 Advances.

(a) Advances. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, from time to time from the Closing Date until the end of the Revolving Period, the Borrower may request that the Lenders make Advances secured by the Collateral, in an aggregate amount up to the Availability as of such date, to the Borrower for the purpose of (x) purchasing Eligible Loan Assets or (y) depositing funds in the Unfunded Exposure Account in an amount up to the Unfunded Exposure Amount of the related Delayed Draw Loan Asset or Revolving Loan (as applicable); provided that, no Lender shall be obligated to make any Advance on or after the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the earlier to occur of the Commitment Termination Date or the Facility Maturity Date. Under no circumstances shall any Lender be required to make any Advance if after giving effect to such Advance and the addition to the Collateral of the Eligible Loan Assets being acquired by the Borrower using the proceeds of such Advance, (i) an Event of Default exists or would result therefrom or an Unmatured Event of Default exists or would result therefrom or (ii) a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would result therefrom. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall be obligated to provide the Borrower with aggregate funds in connection with an Advance that would exceed such Lender’s unused Commitment then in effect.

(b) Promissory Note. Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower (in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) evidencing the Advances of such Lender with appropriate insertions as to the date and principal amount.

Section 2.02 Procedure for Advances.

(a) During the Revolving Period, the Lenders will make Advances on any Business Day at the request of the Borrower, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Sections 2.01 and 2.02 and subject to the provisions of Article III hereof.

-61-

(b) For each Advance, the Borrower shall deliver an irrevocable written notice in the form of a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian, no later than noon at least two (2) Business Days before the Business Day on which the Advance is to be made; provided that, if such Notice of Borrowing is delivered later than noon on such Business Day, such Notice of Borrowing shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall include a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate (updated to the date such Advance is requested and giving pro forma effect to the Advance requested and the use of the proceeds thereof) and an updated Loan Asset Schedule, and shall specify:

(i) the proposed aggregate amount of such Advance; provided, that the amount of such Advance must be at least equal to $1,000,000;

(ii) the proposed date of such Advance;

(iii) a representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance described in Article III hereof have been satisfied;

(iv) the amount of cash that will be funded into the Unfunded Exposure Account in connection with any Delayed Draw Loan Asset or Revolving Loan funded by such Advance, if applicable; and

(v) whether such Advance (or a portion thereof) should be remitted to the Principal Collection Subaccount or the Unfunded Exposure Account.

On the date of each Advance, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, each Lender shall, in accordance with the Notice of Borrowing, either make available to the Borrower, in same day funds, (x) an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, for deposit into the account which the Borrower has designated in writing or (y) an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, for deposit by the Collateral Agent into the Unfunded Exposure Account, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, each Advance and related increase in the Advances Outstanding shall be allocated ratably to each Lender in accordance with their respective Lender’s Pro Rata Share as in effect before such increase. Any Lender which fails to remit its Pro Rata Share in connection with any Advance in accordance with this Section 2.02 shall constitute a Defaulting Lender, and the Borrower shall have all rights available to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19.

(d) Subject to Section 2.16 and the other terms, conditions, provisions and limitations set forth herein (including, the payment of the Prepayment Premium, as applicable), the Borrower may (i) borrow, repay or prepay and reborrow Advances without any penalty, fee or premium on and after the Closing Date and prior to the end of the Revolving Period and (ii) repay or prepay Advances without any penalty, fee or premium on and after the Closing Date and prior to the Facility Maturity Date.

(e) The obligation of each Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share of any Advance shall be several from that of each other Lender and the failure of any Lender to so make such amount available to the Borrower shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder.

-62-

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the existence of an Unmatured Event of Default or a Borrowing Base Deficiency), if, on the last day of the Revolving Period, the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount, the Borrower shall request an Advance in the amount of such shortfall (the “Unfunded Exposure Amount Shortfall”). Following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing (which shall specify the account details of the Unfunded Exposure Account where the funds will be made available), each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata Share of such Unfunded Exposure Amount Shortfall in accordance with Section 2.02(b), notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02) other than an Event of Default.

Section 2.03 Determination of Yield. The Administrative Agent shall determine the Yield in respect of all Advances (including unpaid Yield related thereto, if any, due and payable on a prior Payment Date) to be paid by the Borrower on each Payment Date for the related Remittance Period and shall advise the Servicer thereof on or prior to the third (3rd) Business Day prior to such Payment Date.

Section 2.04 Remittance Procedures. The Servicer shall instruct the Collateral Agent by delivery of the Servicing Report and, if the Servicer fails to do so, the Administrative Agent may instruct the Collateral Agent, to apply funds on deposit in the Controlled Accounts as described in this Section 2.04; provided that, at any time after delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Collateral Agent to apply funds on deposit in the Controlled Accounts as described in this Section 2.04.

Funds on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account as of any date of determination may be withdrawn to fund draw requests of the relevant Obligors under any Delayed Draw Loan Asset or Revolving Loan. Any such draw request made by an Obligor, along with wiring instructions for the applicable Obligor, shall be forwarded by the Borrower or the Servicer to the Collateral Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Disbursement Request, and the Collateral Agent shall instruct the Account Bank to fund such draw request in accordance with the Disbursement Request.

The Borrower and the Transferor hereby agree that they may only receive distributions from amounts available pursuant to Sections 2.04(a)(xii), 2.04(b)(viii) and 2.04(c)(xi).

-66-

(d) Affiliate Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, the Transferor (or an Affiliate thereof) shall not reacquire from the Borrower and the Borrower shall not transfer to the Transferor or to Affiliates of the Transferor, and none of the Transferor nor any Affiliates thereof will have a right or ability to purchase, the Loan Assets of the Borrower without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and any such transactions shall be at arm’s-length and subject to the further conditions that (i) all such sales must be at a price for each Loan Asset at least equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Loan Asset multiplied by the respective Assigned Value or Assigned Value (Broadly Syndicated Loan), as applicable, or, in the event a Value Adjustment Event has occurred with respect to such Loan Asset, the “fair market value” of such Loan Asset and (ii) after giving effect to such sale and any other actions taken by the Borrower simultaneously therewith, no Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist. Each determination of “fair market value” pursuant to this Section 2.07(d) shall be made by the Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard. In addition, each such determination shall be either (x) at least equal to the value of the average of three bid-side quotes received with respect to the applicable Loan Asset from Approved Brokers/Dealers active in the trading of such assets, or (y) if no such bid-side quotes are available, acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided that, in the case of sub-clause (y) above, if the “fair market value” determined by the Servicer is not acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Servicer may retain an Approved Valuation Firm to value such Loan Asset, and such Approved Valuation Firm’s valuation shall become the fair market value of such Loan Asset.

(e) Limitations on Sales and Substitutions. The Outstanding Balance of all Loan Assets (other than Warranty Breach Loan Assets) sold pursuant to Section 2.07(a) during the preceding period of twelve (12) calendar months (or for the first twelve (12) calendar months after the Closing Date, during the period commencing on the Closing Date), after giving effect to such substitution or sale, shall not be greater than 20% of the Total Borrower Capitalization as of the first day of such twelve (12) calendar month period (or as of the Closing Date, as the case may be); provided that the Outstanding Balance of all Loan Assets (other than Warranty Breach Loan Assets) sold to Affiliates of the Transferor pursuant to Section 2.07(a) whose Assigned Value or Assigned Value (Broadly Syndicated Loan), as applicable, was not reduced by the Administrative Agent after the applicable Cut-Off Date during the preceding period of twelve (12) calendar months (or for the first twelve (12) calendar months after the Closing Date, during the period commencing on the Closing Date), after giving effect to such substitution, release or sale, is not greater than 10% of the Total Borrower Capitalization as of the first day of such twelve (12) calendar month period (or as of the Closing Date, as the case may be). The Outstanding Balance of all Defaulted Loans (other than Warranty Breach Loan Assets) sold pursuant to Section 2.07(a) to the Transferor or an Affiliate during the preceding period of twelve (12) calendar months (or for the first twelve (12) calendar months after the Closing Date, during the period commencing on the Closing Date), after giving effect to such substitution or sale, shall not be greater than 10% of the Total Borrower Capitalization as of the first day of such twelve (12) calendar month period (or as of the Closing Date, as the case may be). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be permitted to sell any Defaulted Loan, Margin Stock or Equity Security to Persons other than Affiliates of the Transferor pursuant to Section 2.07(a) at any time; provided that, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for any such sale.

Section 2.08 Payments and Computations, Etc.

(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 3:00 p.m. on the day when due in Dollars in immediately available funds to the Collection Account or such other account as is designated by the Administrative Agent. Any Obligation hereunder shall not be reduced by any distribution of any portion of Available Collections if at any time such distribution is rescinded or required to be returned by any Lender to the Borrower or any other Person for any reason. Each Advance shall accrue interest at the applicable Yield Rate for each day during each applicable Remittance Period. All computations of interest and all computations with respect to the Yield and the Yield Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days and the actual number of days elapsed. Each Advance shall accrue interest at the Yield Rate for each day beginning on, and including, the Advance Date with respect to such Advance and ending on, but excluding, the date such Advance is repaid in full.

-71-

(b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of Yield or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be. To the extent that Available Collections are insufficient on any Payment Date to satisfy the full amount of any Increased Costs pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(v) and Section 2.04(b)(i), such unpaid amounts shall remain due and owing and shall be payable on the next succeeding Payment Date until repaid in full.

(c) If any Advance requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 is not made or effectuated, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify such Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender related thereto (other than any such loss, cost or expense resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to fund such Advance on the part of the Lenders), including, any loss (including cost of funds and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses but excluding lost profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund Advances or maintain the Advances. Any such Lender shall provide to the Borrower documentation setting forth the amounts of any loss, cost or expense referred to in the previous sentence, such documentation to be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.09 Unused Fee. The Borrower shall pay, in accordance with Section 2.04, pro rata to each Lender, an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) payable in arrears for each Remittance Period, equal to the sum of the products for each day during such Remittance Period of (a) one divided by three hundred and sixty (360), (b) the applicable Unused Fee Rate and (c) the positive difference, if any, of the Facility Amount less the greater of (i) the Advances Outstanding on such date and (ii) the Minimum Utilization. If the Commitment of any Lender is reduced as a result of a Bail-In Action, the Unused Fee payable to such Lender shall be calculated based on its Commitment as reduced.

Section 2.10 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, fee, tax, insurance charge, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate, participant, successor or assign thereof (each of which shall be an “Affected Party”);

-72-

(ii) subject any Affected Party to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitment, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(iii) impose on any Affected Party or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances or participation therein or the obligation or right of any Lender to make Advances hereunder;

(iv) change the amount of capital maintained or required or requested or directed to be maintained by any Affected Party; or

(v) change the rate for, or the manner in which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or a successor thereto) assesses deposit insurance premiums or similar charges;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to or impose a cost upon such Affected Party of funding or making or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance or otherwise performing its obligations under the Transaction Documents or to increase the cost to such Affected Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Party, whether of principal, interest or otherwise or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interest or loans received or held by such Affected Party, then the Borrower will pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Affected Party determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Party’s capital or on the capital of Affected Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Advances made by such Affected Party to a level below that which such Affected Party or Affected Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Party’s policies and the policies of such Affected Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party or Affected Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of an Affected Party providing an explanation of the applicable Change in Law and setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Party or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.10 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.10, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The Borrower shall pay such Affected Party the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the Payment Date following receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of any Affected Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Affected Party pursuant to this Section 2.10 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred and eighty (180)-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

-73-

(e) In the event that any Affected Party shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Party to make any purchase or loan or maintain any purchase or loan) as a result of any Advance not being made in accordance with a request therefor under Section 2.02, then, on the Payment Date following written notice from such Affected Party to the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party, the amount of such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower.

Section 2.11 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments made by the Borrower or made by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes. If any Taxes are required by Applicable Law to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Recipient, then the applicable 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 amount payable by the Borrower to such Person will be increased as necessary (the amount of such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that every net payment made under this Agreement after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes (including, any Taxes on such increase) is not less than the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(d) The Borrower will indemnify, from funds available to it pursuant to Section 2.04 (and to the extent the funds available for indemnification provided by the Borrower is insufficient the Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, will indemnify) each Recipient for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.11) payable or paid by such Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and 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. All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within ten (10) days from the date a written demand therefor is delivered to the Borrower. 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.

-74-

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (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 or expanding the obligation of the Borrower to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction 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 Transaction 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 Section 2.11(e).

(f) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by the Borrower or by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower of any Taxes, the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, will furnish to the Administrative Agent at the applicable address set forth on this Agreement, appropriate evidence of payment thereof reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested 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 Section 2.11(g)(i), (ii) and (iii)) 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) If any Lender is not a United States Tax Person, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, to the extent legally entitled to do so, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

a. in the case of a 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 Transaction Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E 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 Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E 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;

-75-

b. executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

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

(ii) If a Lender is a United States Tax Person, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two (or such other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Law) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction 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 (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) at the time or times prescribed by Applicable 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 to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

-76-

(iv) If any Lender is not a United States Tax Person, such Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the 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.

(v) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.11(g) 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) Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender, as the case may be. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified or paid Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11, it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or Additional Amounts paid under this Section 2.11 with respect to the Indemnified 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 Section 2.11(h) (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 Section 2.11(h), in no event will the indemnified party by required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.11(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position that the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or Additional Amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.11 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 Transaction Document.

-77-

(j) If at any time the Borrower shall be liable for the payment of any Additional Amounts in accordance with this Section 2.11, then the Borrower shall have the option to terminate this Agreement (in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16(b)); provided that such option to terminate shall in no event relieve the Borrower of paying any amounts owing pursuant to this Section 2.11 in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 2.12 Grant of a Security Interest; Collateral Assignment of Agreements.

(a) To secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations and the performance by the Borrower of all of the covenants and obligations to be performed by it pursuant to this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”), the Borrower hereby (i) collaterally assigns and pledges to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties and (ii) Grants a security interest to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the obligations under) all of the Collateral, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower, and wherever the same may be located. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral shall not include any Excluded Amounts, and the Borrower does not hereby assign, pledge or Grant a security interest in any such amounts. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (y) the exercise by the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral, and (z) none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender nor any Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender nor any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

The foregoing Grant shall, for the purpose of determining the property subject to the Lien of this Agreement, be deemed to include any securities and any investments Granted to the Collateral Agent by or on behalf of the Borrower, whether or not such securities or investments satisfy the criteria set forth in the definitions of “Eligible Loan Asset” or “Permitted Investments,” as the case may be.

(b) As security for the Secured Obligations, the Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all of the Borrower’s right and title to and interest in, to and under (but not any obligations under) the Purchase and Sale Agreement (and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith), the Underlying Instruments related to each Loan Asset, all other agreements, documents and instruments evidencing, securing or guarantying any Loan Asset and all other agreements, documents and instruments related to any of the foregoing but excluding any Excluded Amounts or Retained Interest (the “Assigned Documents”). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, its right to indemnification under the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Borrower confirms that, until the Collection Date, the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Administrative Agent) on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the sole right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Purchase and Sale Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

-78-

The parties hereto agree that such collateral assignment to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall terminate upon the Collection Date.

Section 2.13 Evidence of Debt. The Administrative Agent shall maintain, solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, at its address referred to in Section 12.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance and participation agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses and interests of the Lenders (including principal amounts and stated interest on the Advances) (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time during business hours and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No Advance hereunder shall be assigned or sold, in whole or in part without registering such assignment or sale on the Register.

Section 2.14 Release of Loan Assets. The Lien granted and created pursuant to this Agreement shall be automatically released with the respect to the following: (a) any Loan Asset (and the Related Asset) sold or substituted in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.07, (b) any Loan Asset (and the Related Asset) with respect to which all amounts have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account and (c) the entire Collateral following the Collection Date. The Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall after the deposit by the Servicer of the proceeds of such Loan Asset into the Collection Account (or as otherwise at the direction of the Administrative Agent), at the sole expense of the Servicer and the Borrower, execute such documents and instruments of release as may be prepared by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, give notice of such release to the Collateral Custodian (in the form of Exhibit J) (unless the Collateral Custodian and Collateral Agent are the same Person) and take other such actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Borrower to effect such release of the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement. Upon receiving such notification by the Collateral Agent as described in the immediately preceding sentence, if applicable, the Collateral Custodian shall deliver the Required Loan Documents to the Borrower.

Section 2.15 Treatment of Amounts Received by the Borrower. Amounts received by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07 on account of Loan Assets shall be treated as payments of Principal Collections or Interest Collections, as applicable, on Loan Assets hereunder.

Section 2.16 Prepayment; Termination; Reduction.

(a) Except as expressly permitted or required herein, including any repayment necessary to cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency, Advances Outstanding may only be prepaid in whole or in part at the option of the Borrower at any time by delivering a Notice of Reduction (which notice shall include a Borrowing Base Certificate) to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent at least one (1) Business Day, or in the case of any prepayment in whole, at least three (3) Business Days, prior to such prepayment; provided that same day notice shall be permitted to cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency. Upon any prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay in full all accrued and unpaid Yield, any Breakage Fees, Increased Costs and all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and Lenders related to such prepayment; provided that no reduction in Advances Outstanding shall be given effect unless (i) sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all such amounts in full, as determined by the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion and (ii) no event has occurred or would result from such prepayment which would constitute an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall apply amounts received from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) to the payment of any Breakage Fees and to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding. Any notice relating to any repayment pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) shall be irrevocable.

-79-

(b) The Borrower may, at its option and upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of such termination or permanent reduction in the form of Exhibit F to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, either (i) terminate this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents upon payment in full of all Advances Outstanding, all accrued and unpaid Yield and Fees, any Breakage Fees, Increased Costs, all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and Lenders, payment of the Prepayment Premium pro rata to each Lender and payment of all other Obligations (other than unmatured contingent indemnification obligations), or (ii) permanently reduce in part the Facility Amount upon payment in full of all accrued and unpaid Yield and Unused Fees (pro rata with respect to the portion of the Facility Amount so reduced), any Breakage Fees, Increased Costs, all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and Lenders and the Prepayment Premium pro rata to each Lender. Any Termination/Reduction Notice relating to any reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.16(b) shall be irrevocable. The Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (prior to giving effect to any reduction of Commitments hereunder) of the aggregate amount of any reduction under this Section 2.16(b).

(c) The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Prepayment Premium constitutes additional consideration for the Lenders to enter into this Agreement.

Section 2.17 Collections and Allocations.

(a) The Collateral Agent shall promptly identify all Available Collections received in the Collection Account as being on account of Interest Collections or Principal Collections and shall segregate all Interest Collections and Principal Collections and transfer the same to the Interest Collection Subaccount and the Principal Collection Subaccount, respectively. The Servicer shall comply with its obligations specified in Section 5.03(o). If, notwithstanding such compliance, the Servicer receives any collections directly, the Servicer shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, any such collections received directly by it (if any) to the Collection Account by the close of business within two (2) Business Days after such Interest Collections and Principal Collections are received; provided that the Servicer shall identify to the Collateral Agent any collections received directly by the Servicer as being on account of Interest Collections or Principal Collections. The Collateral Agent shall further provide to the Servicer a statement as to the amount of Interest Collections and Principal Collections on deposit in the Interest Collection Subaccount and the Principal Collection Subaccount no later than three (3) Business Days after each Determination Date for inclusion in the Servicing Report delivered pursuant to Section 6.08(b). It is understood and agreed that the Servicer shall remain liable for the proper allocation of the aforementioned Interest Collections and Principal Collections into the appropriate accounts.

-80-

(b) On the Cut-Off Date with respect to any Loan Asset, the Servicer will deposit or will cause the Borrower to deposit into the Collection Account all Available Collections received in respect of Eligible Loan Assets being transferred to and included as part of the Collateral on such date.

(c) With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (a copy of which will be provided by the Servicer to the Collateral Agent), the Servicer may withdraw from the Collection Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Servicer has, prior to such withdrawal and consent, delivered to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in their sole discretion.

(d) Prior to the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Servicer shall, pursuant to written instruction (which may be in the form of standing instructions), direct the Collateral Agent to invest, or cause the investment of, funds on deposit in the Controlled Accounts in Permitted Investments, from the date of this Agreement until the Collection Date. Absent any such written instruction, such funds shall not be invested. A Permitted Investment acquired with funds deposited in any Controlled Account shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding any Payment Date (unless such Permitted Investment is issued by U.S. Bank National Association or one or more of its Affiliates in its capacity as a banking institution, in which case such Permitted Investment may mature on such Payment Date), and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity unless the Servicer determines there is a substantial risk of material deterioration of such Permitted Investment, in its commercially reasonable discretion. All such Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Account Bank or its nominee for the benefit of the Collateral Agent. All income and gain realized from any such investment, as well as any interest earned on deposits in any Controlled Account shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Article II hereof. The Borrower shall deposit in the Collection Account or the Unfunded Exposure Account, as the case may be (with respect to investments made hereunder of funds held therein), an amount equal to the amount of any actual loss incurred, in respect of any such investment, immediately upon realization of such loss. None of the Account Bank, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be liable for the amount of any loss incurred, in respect of any investment, or lack of investment, of funds held in any Controlled Account, other than with respect to fraud or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, a Lender or any of their respective Affiliates may receive compensation with respect to the Permitted Investments.

(e) Until the Collection Date, neither the Borrower nor the Servicer shall have any rights of direction or withdrawal, with respect to amounts held in any Controlled Account, except to the extent explicitly set forth in Section 2.04, Section 2.17(c) or Section 2.18.

Section 2.18 Reinvestment of Principal Collections.

On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth as certified in writing to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent, the Servicer may, to the extent of any Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount:

(a) prior to the end of the Revolving Period, direct the Collateral Agent to withdraw such funds for the purpose of reinvesting in additional Eligible Loan Assets to be Granted hereunder; provided that the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) all conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 and Section 3.04 have been satisfied;

(ii) no Event of Default has occurred, or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment, and no Unmatured Event of Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment;

(iii) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 hereof shall continue to be correct in all material respects, except to the extent relating to an earlier date; and

(iv) delivery of a Disbursement Request and a Borrowing Base Certificate, each executed by the Borrower and a Responsible Officer of the Servicer; or

(b) direct the Collateral Agent to withdraw such funds for the purpose of making payments in respect of the Advances Outstanding at such time in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 2.16.

Upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.18 (as certified by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent), the Collateral Agent shall release funds from the Principal Collection Subaccount as directed by the Servicer in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (x) the amount requested by the Servicer for reinvestment or repayment and (y) the amount on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount on such day.

Section 2.19 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the portion of the Advance funded by such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder and the Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders have taken or may have taken any action hereunder; provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders or Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, as applicable.

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent, and, so long as no Event of Default exists, the Borrower determines (such determination not to be unreasonably withheld) that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and the provisions of clause (a) above shall, from and after such determination, cease to be of further force or effect with respect to such Lender; provided that no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to a non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

-82-

(i) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon not less than five (5) Business Days advance notice to the Administrative Agent and (if different) the related Lender, (x) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.04), all of its respective interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent with respect to any assignee that is not already a Lender hereunder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (B) the assignee shall not be an Affiliate of any of the Borrower, the Servicer or the Transferor, (C) such assigning Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to all outstanding Advances funded or maintained by such Lender, together with all accrued interest thereon and all accrued Fees, and (D) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have agreed to, and shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of, the applicable consent, waiver or amendment of the Transaction Documents or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the portion of the Advance held by such Lender as of such termination date, without the payment of any penalty, fee or premium. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to exist.

(ii) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.19(c)(i) above shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Lender’s applicable Commitment and outstanding portion of the Advance funded by such Lender. Pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding portion of the Advance and (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Advance and Commitments so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and under each of the Transaction Documents and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned portion of the Advance and Commitments, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assignment Lender. In connection with any such replacement, if any such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance reflecting such replacement within three (3) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance to such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance without any action on the part of the Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender.

-83-

(d) In the event that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested any consent, waiver or amendment by any Lender or the Lenders to any matter pursuant to this Agreement, and such consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders, the Lenders or the Required Lenders, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment within five (5) Business Days’ written notice to such Lender that such amendment has been agreed to by the Required Lenders shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.” For the avoidance of doubt, (x) Non-Consenting Lender shall not include any Lender that abstains from voting on any consent, waiver or amendment if the vote of such Lender would not be required in order for such consent, waiver or amendment to be approved pursuant to this Agreement, and (y) if the Administrative Agent is also a Lender, any failure of the Administrative Agent, acting in its capacity as Administrative Agent, to grant any consent, waiver or amendment shall not result in the Administrative Agent, acting in its capacity as a Lender, being deemed to be a Non-Consenting Lender. In the event that the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity is a Non-Consenting Lender and the Borrower has replaced the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19, then the Borrower shall have the right to remove and replace the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.01(h).

In addition, the Servicer may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, sell or otherwise transfer, or if it deems advisable to maximize recoveries, hold any defaulted Loan, equity or other securities received by the Borrower in connection with a default, workout, restructuring or plan of reorganization or similar event under a Loan. The Servicer will comply with the Servicing Standard and Applicable Law in realizing upon such Related Collateral, and employ practices and procedures consistent with the Servicing Standard to enforce all obligations of Obligors foreclosing upon, repossessing and causing the sale of such Related Collateral at public or private sale in circumstances other than those described in the preceding sentence. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless the Administrative Agent has specifically given instruction to the contrary, the Servicer may cause the sale of any such Related Collateral to the Servicer or its Affiliates for a purchase price equal to the then fair value thereof, any such sale to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer delivered to the Administrative Agent setting forth the Loan Asset, the Related Collateral, the sale price of the Related Collateral and certifying that such sale price is the fair value of such Related Collateral. In any case in which any such Related Collateral has suffered damage, the Servicer will not expend funds in connection with any repair or toward the foreclosure or repossession of such Related Collateral unless it determines at the time of such expenditure consistent with the Servicing Standard that such repair and/or foreclosure or repossession will increase the Recoveries by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer will remit, or cause to be remitted, to the Collection Account the Recoveries received in connection with the sale or disposition of Related Collateral relating to a Defaulted Loan.

(b) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to sell all of the Collateral on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for the assets constituting the Collateral may not be liquid. Accordingly, the Administrative Agent may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any of the Collateral, and nothing contained herein shall obligate the Administrative Agent to liquidate any of the Collateral on the date the Administrative Agent or all of the Lenders declares the Advances Outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7.01 or to liquidate all of the Collateral in the same manner or on the same Business Day.

(c) If the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent proposes to sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, at the request of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, the Borrower and the Servicer shall make available to (i) the Administrative Agent, on a timely basis, all information relating to the Collateral subject to sale, including, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials requested by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) each prospective bidder, on a timely basis, all reasonable information relating to the Collateral subject to sale, including, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials reasonably requested by each such bidder; provided that with respect to this clause (ii), neither the Borrower nor the Servicer shall be required to disclose to each such bidder any information which it is required by Applicable Law or contract to be kept confidential.

-136-

(d) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of the Borrower and the Servicer, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such parcels as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) or such court may determine. Pursuant to the UCC, each of the Borrower and the Collateral Agent hereby specifically agrees (x) that it shall not raise any objection to a Secured Party’s purchase of the Collateral (through bidding on the obligations or otherwise) and (y) that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in various no action letters promulgated by the SEC staff (1) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of the UCC and (2) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that a Secured Party purchases the Collateral at such a sale.

(e) Any amounts received from any sale or liquidation of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 7.02 in excess of the Obligations will be applied by the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04(c), or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(f) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have, in addition to all the rights and remedies provided herein and provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of any applicable state, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), all rights and remedies available to the Lenders at law, in equity or under any other agreement between any Lender and the Borrower. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by the Administrative Agent, any such Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or the Transferor, as applicable, against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or the Transferor, as applicable, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the Administrative Agent, any such Lender or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, any such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or the Transferor, as applicable, may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, any such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(g) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

(h) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints, during the continuance of an Event of Default and at all times following the Facility Maturity Date, each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) which appointment shall be coupled with an interest (and given as security for the performance of the obligations owed herein), in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement, including without limitation the following powers: (i) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (ii) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (iii) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Borrower and the Servicer hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (iv) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document.

(i) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and empowered, during the existence of an Event of Default and at all times following the Facility Maturity Date, on behalf of the Borrower or the Transferor, to endorse the name of the Borrower or the Transferor, as applicable, upon any check, draft, instrument, receipt, instruction, or other document or agreement or item, coming into the Administrative Agent’s possession, and to receive and apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof.

The application by the Administrative Agent of such funds shall, unless the Administrative Agent shall agree otherwise in writing, be the same as set forth in Section 2.04 hereof.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any liquidation in full of the Collateral, including without limitation, (a) upon the declaration or automatic occurrence of the Facility Maturity Date following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or (b) at the Scheduled Maturity Date, the Transferor or its designated Affiliate or managed fund (collectively, the “Transferor Related Parties”) shall, subject to the additional requirements set forth in this Section 7.02(j), have the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Loan Assets included in the Collateral at a purchase price at least equal to the greater of (a) the sum of the then outstanding Obligations, as determined by the Administrative Agent, and (b) the then-current aggregate Market Value (in the case of Broadly Syndicated Loans) or the fair market value (in the case of Loan Assets other than Broadly Syndicated Loans) of the Loan Assets, as determined by the Administrative Agent. The Transferor Related Parties may exercise such right by giving written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) of its election to exercise such right (the “Exercise Notice”) which shall include a proposed purchase price and be delivered not later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Scheduled Maturity Date or two (2) Business Days after the date on which the Transferor or the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of such Event of Default and the declaration or automatic occurrence of the Facility Maturity Date, as applicable.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.01 Indemnities by the Borrower.

(a) Except for Taxes (other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim) and without limiting any other rights which the Affected Parties, the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral Custodian or any of their respective Affiliates may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Affected Parties, the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral Custodian and each of their respective Affiliates, assigns, officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party” for purposes of this Article VIII) against, and to hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”), awarded against or actually incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or in respect of any of the Collateral or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing including the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document against the Borrower, regardless of whether any such Indemnified Party is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or shareholders); provided that Indemnified Amounts shall not be available to an Indemnified Party to the extent that such damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party.

-139-

(b) Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 8.01 shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (or, with respect to any amounts owing to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian or the Account Bank, to the Collateral Agent) on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s (or the Collateral Agent’s, if applicable) written demand therefor on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party (and the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts). The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Indemnified Party making a request for indemnification under this Section 8.01, shall submit to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of the Indemnified Amounts with respect to which such indemnification is requested, which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 8.01 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(d) If the Borrower has made any payments in respect of Indemnified Amounts to the Administrative Agent on behalf of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.01 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Borrower, without interest.

(e) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.01 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, the Servicer, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

-140-

Section 8.02 Indemnities by Servicer.

The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Indemnified Party making a request for indemnification under this Section 8.02, shall submit to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of the Indemnified Amounts with respect to which such indemnification is requested, which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(c) If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.02 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Servicer, without interest.

(d) Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Servicer shall have no liability for making an indemnification hereunder to the extent that such damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses result from the uncollectibility of any Loan Asset due to the Obligor’s financial inability to pay without breach of any representation, warranty or covenant by the Borrower.

(e) The obligations of the Servicer under this Section 8.02 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, the Borrower, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

-141-

(f) Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall not be payable from the Collateral.

Section 8.03 Waiver of Certain Claims. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

Section 8.04 Legal Proceedings. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action, claim, or legal, governmental or administrative proceeding (an “Action”) for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other party or parties against whom it seeks indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the nature and particulars of the Action; provided that its failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure has a material adverse effect on the Indemnifying Party. Upon written notice to the Indemnified Party acknowledging in writing that the indemnification provided hereunder applies to the Indemnified Party in connection with the Action (subject to the exclusion in the first sentence of Section 8.01, the first sentence of Section 8.02 or Section 8.02(d), as applicable), the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of the Action at its expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel in connection with the Action, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party after the Indemnifying Party has done so; provided that if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Action, or that the Indemnifying Party is not conducting the defense of the Action in a manner reasonably protective of the interests of the Indemnified Party, the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided further that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one Action or separate but substantially similar or related Actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (and any required local counsel) for such Indemnified Party, which firm (and local counsel, if any) shall be designated in writing to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Action, it shall have full control over the conduct of such defense; provided that the Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall, as reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party or its counsel, consult with and keep them informed with respect to the conduct of such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle an Action without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement provides for the full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in connection with the Action. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (in its sole and absolute discretion), be entitled to assume the defense for any Action which seeks to impose liability on an Indemnified Party in its individual capacity.

Section 8.05 After-Tax Basis. Indemnification under Sections 8.01 and Section 8.02 shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any Tax consequences to the Indemnified Party of the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder, including the effect of such Tax or refund on the amount of Tax measured by net income or profits that is or was payable by the Indemnified Party.

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 9.01 The Administrative Agent.

(a) Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each Lender. Each Lender further authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent hereby represents and warrants that it is a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” and that it will comply with its “obligation to withhold,” each within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(ii).

(b) Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects with reasonable care.

-143-

(c) Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except, subject to Section 9.01(b), 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). Each Secured Party hereby waives any and all claims against the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except, subject to Section 9.01(b), 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). Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Transferor), 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; (ii) makes no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Borrower, the Transferor, or the Servicer or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower, the Transferor, or the Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by email) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; (vi) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith; and (vii) shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for reasonably relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.

(d) Actions by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. In the event the Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten (10) Business Days of such Person’s receipt of such request, then such Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the relevant action.

(e) Notice of Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Default, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender, the Borrower or the Servicer referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Event of Default,” “Notice of Unmatured Event of Default” or “Notice of Servicer Default,” as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 9.01(c)) take such action with respect to such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders acting jointly or as the Administrative Agent shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

-144-

(f) Credit Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender and each Secured Party acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Transferor or any of their respective Affiliates or review or approval of any of the Collateral, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender and each Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender and each Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender and each Secured Party hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Transferor or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

(g) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Servicer), ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Share of its related Lender, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Share of its related Lender, promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Lenders hereunder and/or thereunder and to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or the Servicer.

-145-

(h) Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time, effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, by giving at least five (5) days’ written notice thereof to each Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with cause by the Lenders acting jointly. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the approval of the Borrower (which approval shall not be (i) unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or (ii) required at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default or after the declaration or automatic occurrence of the Facility Maturity Date). Each Lender agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be either (x) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (y) an Affiliate of such a bank. Any successor Administrative Agent shall be a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

(i) Payments by the Administrative Agent. Unless specifically allocated to a specific Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares in the applicable Advances Outstanding, or if there are no Advances Outstanding in accordance with their related Lender’s most recent Commitments, on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to each Lender on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such Lender not later than the following Business Day.

(j) Erroneous Payments.

(i) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, has determined that any funds received by such Lender from the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, or any of its Affiliates 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 one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative 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 Dollars, and if such Lender fails to return the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, by such Business Day, such Lender shall also pay the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, interest thereon in respect of each day after such Business Day to the date such amount is repaid to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, in same day funds at a rate determined by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (y) 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 Collateral Agent or the Administrative 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 Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to any Lender under this clause (i) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

-146-

(ii) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (i), each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent (or any of their respective Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that which is required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof or that which is specified in a notice of payment sent by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent (or any of their respective Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (a “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 mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, an error has been made with respect to such Erroneous Payment, and 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 Collateral Agent or the Administrative 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. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its actual knowledge of such error) notify the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative 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 Dollars, and if such Lender fails to return the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, by such Business Day, such Lender shall also pay the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, interest thereon in respect of each day after such Business Day to the date such amount is repaid to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, in same day funds at a rate determined by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. Each Lender further authorizes and agrees that in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from such Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) and the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, has received amounts that are due and owing to such Lender which the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, is required to remit to such Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, may offset such amounts by the equivalent amount of Erroneous Payments received by such Lender and, as applicable, return such amounts to the applicable payor.

-147-

(iii) The Borrower hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount, and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower.

(iv) Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

The Collateral 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. In no event shall the Collateral 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 Collateral Custodian has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

-160-

(i) In no event shall the Collateral Custodian be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action (including any laws, ordinances, regulations) or the like that delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of services by the Collateral Custodian as contemplated by this Agreement.

(j) The Collateral Custodian shall have no responsibility and shall have no liability for (i) preparing, recording, filing, re-recording or re-filing any financing statement, continuation statement, document, instrument or other notice in any public office at any time or times, (ii) the correctness of any such financing statement, continuation statement, document or instrument or other such notice, (iii) taking any action to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest granted to it hereunder or otherwise or (iv) the validity or perfection of any such lien or security interest.

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

Section 11.07 Collateral Custodian Resignation. The Collateral Custodian may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder, not earlier than ninety (90) days after delivery to the Administrative Agent of written notice of such resignation specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. Upon the effective date of such resignation, or if the Administrative Agent gives Collateral Custodian written notice of an earlier termination hereof, Collateral Custodian shall (i) be reimbursed for any costs and expenses Collateral 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 Collateral Custodian to the Administrative Agent or to such Person as the Administrative Agent may designate to Collateral Custodian in writing upon the receipt of a request in the form of Exhibit J. If no successor collateral custodian shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Collateral Custodian shall not have been delivered to the Collateral Custodian within forty-five (45) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Collateral Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Custodian. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Custodian may not resign prior to a successor Collateral Custodian being appointed.

(a) Release for Servicer. From time to time and as appropriate for the enforcement or servicing of any of the Collateral, the Collateral Custodian is hereby authorized (unless and until such authorization is revoked by the Administrative Agent), upon written receipt from the Servicer of a request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit J, to release to the Servicer within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such request, the related Required Loan Documents or the documents set forth in such request and receipt to the Servicer. All documents so released to the Servicer shall be held by the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer shall return to the Collateral Custodian the Required Loan Documents or other such documents (i) promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, or (ii) when the Servicer’s need therefor in connection with such foreclosure or servicing no longer exists, unless the Loan Asset shall be liquidated, in which case, the Servicer shall deliver an additional request for release of documents to the Collateral Custodian and receipt certifying such liquidation from the Servicer to the Collateral Agent, all in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit J.

(b) Limitation on Release. The foregoing provision with respect to the release to the Servicer of the Required Loan Documents and documents by the Collateral Custodian upon request by the Servicer shall be operative only to the extent that the Administrative Agent has consented to such release. Promptly after delivery to the Collateral Custodian of any request for release of documents, the Servicer shall provide notice of the same to the Administrative Agent. Any additional Required Loan Documents or documents requested to be released by the Servicer may be released only upon written authorization of the Administrative Agent. The limitations of this paragraph shall not apply to the release of Required Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to the immediately succeeding subsection.

(c) Release for Payment. Upon receipt by the Collateral Custodian of the Servicer’s request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit J (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received) in connection with such payment or repurchase have been credited to the Collection Account, the Collateral Custodian shall promptly release the related Required Loan Documents to the Servicer.

Section 11.09 Return of Required Loan Documents. The Borrower may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), require that the Collateral Custodian return each Required Loan Document (a) delivered to the Collateral Custodian in error or (b) released from the Lien of the Collateral Agent hereunder pursuant to Section 2.14, in each case by submitting to the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent a written request in the form of Exhibit J hereto (signed by both the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) specifying the Collateral 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 Collateral Custodian shall upon its receipt of each such request for return executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, return the Required Loan Documents so requested to the Borrower.

-162-

Section 11.10 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Collateral. The Collateral Custodian shall provide to the Administrative Agent and each Lender access to the Required Loan Documents and all other documentation regarding the Collateral including in such cases where the Administrative Agent and each Lender 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 without charge but only (a) upon two (2) Business Days prior written request, (b) during normal business hours and (c) subject to the Servicer’s and the Collateral Custodian’s normal security and confidentiality procedures. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.10, from time to time on request of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian shall permit certified public accountants or other auditors acceptable to the Administrative Agent to conduct, at the expense of the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower), a review of the Required Loan Documents and all other documentation regarding the Collateral; provided that, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, such review shall be conducted no more than one (1) time in any calendar year.

Section 11.11 Bailment. The Collateral Custodian agrees that, with respect to any Required Loan Documents at any time or times in its possession or held in its name, the Collateral 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 12.03 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 12.04 Binding Effect; Assignability; Multiple Lenders.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral Custodian and their respective successors and permitted assigns. With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (unless such assignment is to an Affiliate of a Lender or is otherwise required by Applicable Law), each Lender and their respective successors and assigns may assign, grant a security interest or sell a participation interest in, (i) this Agreement and such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and interest herein in whole or in part (including by way of the sale of participation interests therein) and/or (ii) any Advance (or portion thereof) to any Person; provided that, so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred, the Borrower has provided its written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such assignment to any Person that is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (but, for the avoidance of doubt, no such consent of the Borrower shall be required for any grant of a security interest or sale of a participation interest to any Person, an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment that is required by Applicable Law; provided that such Lender gives written notice of such assignment to the Borrower). Any such assignee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a fully-executed assignment and acceptance agreement in the form of Exhibit K hereto (an “Assignment and Acceptance”) and the Administrative Agent shall record such transfer in the Register in accordance with Section 2.13. The parties to any such assignment, grant or sale of a participation interest shall execute and deliver to the related Lender for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties and the applicable Lender. None of the Borrower, the Transferor or the Servicer may assign, or permit any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) to exist upon, any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any Transaction Document or any interest herein or in any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of each Lender and the Administrative Agent.

-167-

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.04, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(d) Upon the effectiveness of any assignment by any Lender of all or any of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents pursuant to Section 12.04(a) and the delivery to the Administrative Agent of all assignment documentation and the Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall revise Annex A to reflect such assignment.

(e) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that 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 commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.11(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.11(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) and each participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 or 2.11, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive.

-168-

Section 12.05 Term of This Agreement. This Agreement, including, the Borrower’s representations and covenants set forth in Articles IV and V and the Servicer’s representations, covenants and duties set forth in Articles IV, V and VI, shall remain in full force and effect until the Collection Date; provided that the rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or the Servicer pursuant to Articles III and IV and the indemnification and payment provisions of Article VIII, IX and Article XII and the provisions of Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 12.07 and Section 12.09 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

(b) BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF EACH Transaction DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

(c) THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY 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 AGREEMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (A) OF THIS SECTION 12.06. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY 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.

-169-

(d) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 12.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

(e) JURY WAIVER. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (i) WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO (1) THIS AGREEMENT; (2) ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT; OR (3) ANY CONDUCT, ACTS OR OMISSIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OF BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, A LENDER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENTS, ATTORNEYS OR OTHER AFFILIATES, IN EACH CASE WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, AND (ii) AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 12.07 Costs, Expenses and Taxes.

(a) In addition to the rights of indemnification granted to the Indemnified Parties under Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 hereof, the Borrower agrees to pay, on the Payment Date pertaining to the Remittance Period in which such cost is incurred, all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank and the Collateral Custodian incurred in connection with (x) the preparation, execution, delivery, administration (including periodic auditing), syndication, renewal, amendment or modification of, any waiver or consent issued in connection with, this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, including, the fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank and the Collateral Custodian with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank and the Collateral Custodian as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other documents to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, and (y) the enforcement or potential enforcement of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by such Person and the other documents to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith.

Section 12.11 Characterization of Conveyances Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

(a) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Eligible Loan Assets by the Transferor to the Borrower as contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement be, and be treated for all purposes as, a sale by the Transferor of such Eligible Loan Assets. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Eligible Loan Assets by the Transferor to the Borrower to secure a debt or other obligation of the Transferor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Eligible Loan Assets are held to continue to be property of the Transferor, then the parties hereto agree that: (i) the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement under Applicable Law; (ii) as set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the transfer of the Eligible Loan Assets provided for in the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by the Transferor to the Borrower of a first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in all of the Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to the Eligible Loan Assets and all amounts payable to the holders of the Eligible Loan Assets in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Controlled Accounts, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (iii) the possession by the Borrower (or the Collateral Custodian on its behalf) of Loan Assets and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be, subject to clause (iv) below, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC; and (iv) acknowledgements from Persons holding such property shall be deemed acknowledgements from custodians, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Borrower for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under Applicable Law. The parties further agree that any assignment of the interest of the Borrower pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Borrower shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if the Purchase and Sale Agreement was deemed to create a security interest in the Eligible Loan Assets, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority (subject only to Permitted Liens) under Applicable Law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.

(b) It is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the Eligible Loan Assets conveyed by the Transferor to the Borrower pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall constitute assets owned by the Borrower and shall not be part of the Transferor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Transferor under any bankruptcy or similar law.

SCHEDULE V

DIVERSITY SCORE CALCULATION

The Diversity Score of any Loan Asset as of any date of determination is calculated as follows:

(1)

An “Adjusted Borrowing Value” is calculated for each Obligor of an Eligible Loan Asset, and is equal to the lower of (a) the Outstanding Balance of all Eligible Loan Assets issued by such Obligor or any of its Affiliates at such time and (b) the aggregate sum of the Assigned Value or Assigned Value (Broadly Syndicated Loan), as applicable, of each Eligible Loan Asset issued by such Obligor or any of its Affiliates at such time, multiplied by the Outstanding Balance of such Eligible Loan Asset at such time.

(2)

An “Average Adjusted Borrowing Value Amount” is calculated by summing the Adjusted Borrowing Values for all Obligors, and dividing by the number of Obligors.

(3)

An “Equivalent Unit Score” is calculated for each Obligor, and is equal to the lesser of (x) one and (y) the Adjusted Borrowing Value for such Obligor divided by the Average Adjusted Borrowing Value Amount.

(4)

An “Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score” is then calculated for each Industry Classification and is equal to the sum of the Equivalent Unit Scores for each Obligor in such Industry Classification.

Sch. V-1

(5)

An “Industry Diversity Score” is then established for each Industry Classification by reference to the following table for the related Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score; provided, that if any Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score falls between any two such scores, the applicable Industry Diversity Score will be the lower of the two Industry Diversity Scores:
