2.1.1 Revolver Loans. Each Lender agrees, severally on a Pro Rata basis up to its Revolver Commitment, on the terms set forth herein, to make Revolver Loans to Borrower from time to time through the Commitment Termination Date. The Revolver Loans may be repaid and reborrowed as provided herein. In no event shall Lenders have any obligation to honor a request for a Revolver Loan if the unpaid balance of Revolver Loans outstanding at such time (including the requested Loan) would exceed the Borrowing Base.

2.1.2 Revolver Notes. The Revolver Loans made by each Lender and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and such Lender. At the request of any Lender, Borrower shall deliver a promissory note to such Lender evidencing Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Revolver Commitments of such Lender.

2.1.3 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Revolver Loans shall be used by Borrower solely (a) to pay fees and transaction expenses associated with the closing of this credit facility; (b) to pay Obligations (including interest when due) in accordance with this Agreement; (c) for working capital and other lawful corporate purposes of Borrower; (d) to acquire Eligible Portfolio Investments pursuant to the Sale Agreement; (e) to make Eligible Portfolio Investments; (f) to pay cash Distributions to Parent in accordance with Section 9.2.3; (g) to pay Administrative Expenses (to the extent that funds on deposit in the Dominion Account are insufficient to pay such expenses when due), and (h) to pay Borrower Expenses (to the extent that funds on deposit in the Dominion Account are insufficient to pay such expenses when due).

-24-

2.1.4 Termination of Revolver Commitments.

(a) The Revolver Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Upon at least 30 days prior written notice to Agent, Borrower may, at its option, terminate the Revolver Commitments and this credit facility prior to the Scheduled Revolving Period End Date. Any notice of termination given by Borrower shall be irrevocable and on the effective date of such termination, Borrower shall make Full Payment of all Obligations.

(b) Concurrently with any termination of the Revolver Commitments and this credit facility during the first two Loan Years, for whatever reason (including an Event of Default), Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders and as liquidated damages for loss of bargain (and not as a penalty), a termination fee amount equal to (i) 2% of the Revolver Commitments if the Revolver Commitments are terminated in the first month of the first Loan Year, and (ii) if the Revolver Commitments are terminated in subsequent months through the end of the second Loan Year, an amount equal to the product of (x) the difference between (1) 2% and (2) (A) 0.08333%, times (B) the number of months elapsed since the Closing Date, and (y) the Revolver Commitments. No termination charge shall be payable after the end of the second Loan Year.

2.1.5 Overadvances. If the aggregate Revolver Loans exceed the Borrowing Base (“Overadvance”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by Borrower within five (5) Business Days of demand by Agent, but all such Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Transaction Documents. Agent may require Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring Borrower to cure an Overadvance, (a) when no other Event of Default is known to Agent, as long as the Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five consecutive days thereafter before further Overadvance Loans are required); and (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, if Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause the outstanding Revolver Loans to exceed the aggregate Revolver Commitments. Any funding of an Overadvance Loan or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by Agent or Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall Borrower be deemed a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.

2.1.6 Protective Advances. Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, at any time that any conditions in Section 6 are not satisfied, and without regard to the aggregate Commitments, to make Revolver Loans (“Protective Advances”) (a) if Agent deems such Loans necessary or desirable to preserve or protect Collateral, or to enhance the collectibility or repayment of Obligations; or (b) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Borrower under any Transaction Documents, including costs, fees and expenses. Each Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance on a Pro Rata basis. Required Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authority to make further Protective Advances under clause (a) by written notice to Agent. Absent such revocation, Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive.

(b) During an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to Borrower, or during any other Event of Default if Agent or Required Lenders in their discretion so elect, Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate (whether before or after any judgment). Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Agent and Lenders due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is a fair and reasonable estimate to compensate Agent and Lenders for this.

(c) Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, (i) on the first day of each calendar month; (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of Loans being prepaid; and (iii) on the Maturity Date or the date the Obligations are accelerated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money. A certificate as to amounts payable by Borrower under Section 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, or 5.10, submitted to Borrower by Agent or the affected Lender, as applicable, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrower shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party within 10 days following receipt of the certificate.

All amounts payable by Borrower under this Section shall be due on demand.

-27-

3.5 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any governmental authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Daily LIBOR Rate, or any governmental authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make LIBOR Index Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Index Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon delivery of such notice, Borrower shall prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Index Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Index Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

If Required Lenders notify Agent for any reason in connection with a request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, a LIBOR Index Loan that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the Daily LIBOR Rate, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Daily LIBOR Rate, or (c) the Daily LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, then Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Index Loans shall be suspended until Agent (upon instruction by Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of a LIBOR Index Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to have submitted a request for a Base Rate Loan.

3.7 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy

3.7.1 Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (including any reserve requirement);

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

(c) impose on any Lender or interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting any Loan, Transaction Document, or Commitment;

and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or Commitment, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

-28-

3.7.2 Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender’s Commitments or Loans to a level below that which such Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s and holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

3.7.3 Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that the Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.8 Mitigation. If any Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7, or if Borrower is required to pay additional amounts with respect to a Lender under Section 5.10, then, at the request of Borrower, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable or to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to it or unlawful. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.9 Reserved.

3.10 Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Transaction Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (“maximum rate”). If Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the maximum rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Obligations or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by Agent or a Lender exceeds the maximum rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 4. LOAN ADMINISTRATION

4.1 Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolver Loans

4.1.1 Notice of Borrowing.

(a) Whenever Borrower desires funding of a Borrowing of Revolver Loans, Borrower shall give Agent a Notice of Borrowing signed by a Senior Officer, which shall be in such form as may be required by Agent (and which notice may be given electronically subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.3.2) and which shall specify the account of Borrower into which the proceeds of such Revolver Loans should be disbursed. Such notice must be received by Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day of the requested funding date, in the case of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Index Loans. Notices received after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the amount of the Borrowing, and (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day).

(b) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrower, the becoming due of any Obligations (whether principal, interest, fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses, Cash Collateral and Secured Bank Product Obligations) shall be deemed to be a request for LIBOR Index Loan on the due date, in the amount of such Obligations. The proceeds of such LIBOR Index Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligation. In addition, Agent may, at its option, charge such Obligations against any operating, investment or other account of Borrower maintained with Agent or any of its Affiliates.

(c) If Borrower establishes a controlled disbursement account with Agent or any Affiliate of Agent, then the presentation for payment of any check, ACH or electronic debit, or other payment item at a time when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate Revolver Loans on the date of such presentation, in the amount of such payment item. The proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed directly to the controlled disbursement account or other appropriate account.

4.1.2 Fundings by Lenders. Each Lender shall timely honor its Revolver Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Revolver Loans that is properly requested hereunder. Except for Borrowings to be made as Swingline Loans, Agent shall endeavor to notify Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by 12:00 noon on the proposed funding date for Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Index Loans. Each Lender shall fund to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Borrowing to the account specified by Agent in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested funding date, unless Agent’s notice is received after the time provided above, in which case Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from Lenders, Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Revolver Loans as directed by Borrower. Unless Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from a Lender that it does not intend to fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent, and Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to Borrower. If a Lender’s share of any Borrowing or of any settlement pursuant to Section 4.1.3(b) is not received by Agent, then Borrower agrees to repay to Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to the Borrowing.

4.1.3 Swingline Loans; Settlement.

(a) Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, advance Swingline Loans to Borrower, up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $3,500,000. Each Swingline Loan shall constitute a Revolver Loan for all purposes, except that payments thereon shall be made to Agent for its own account. The obligation of Borrower to repay Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and need not be evidenced by any promissory note.

(b) Settlement of Swingline Loans and other Revolver Loans among Lenders and Agent shall take place on a date determined from time to time by Agent (but at least weekly), in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by Agent to Lenders. Between settlement dates, Agent may in its discretion apply payments on Revolver Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by Borrower or any provision herein to the contrary. Each Lender’s obligation to make settlements with Agent is absolute and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied. If, due to an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to Borrower or for any other reason, any Swingline Loan may not be settled among Lenders hereunder, then each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from Agent a Pro Rata participation in such Loan and shall transfer the amount of such participation to Agent, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after Agent’s request therefor.

4.1.4 Notices. Borrower may request, convert or continue Loans, select interest rates and transfer funds based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions to Agent (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.3.2). Borrower shall confirm each such request by prompt delivery to Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if it differs materially from the action taken by Agent or Lenders, the records of Agent and Lenders shall govern. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by Borrower as a result of Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.3.2) from a person believed in good faith by Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on Borrower’s behalf.

4.2 Defaulting Lender

4.2.1 Reallocation of Pro Rata Share; Amendments. For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations to fund or participate in Loans, to share in fees or for any other determination permitted hereunder, Agent may exclude the Commitments and Loans of any Defaulting Lender(s) from the calculation of Pro Rata shares. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Transaction Document, except as provided in Section 13.1.1(b).

4.2.2 Payments; Fees. Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Transaction Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to Agent, non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Parties have been paid in full. Agent may apply such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations or readvance the amounts to Borrower hereunder. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder during the period in which it is a Defaulting Lender, and the unfunded portion of its Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the unused line fee under Section 3.2.1.

-31-

4.2.3 Cure. Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion that a Lender constitutes a Defaulting Lender and the effective date of such status shall be conclusive and binding on all parties, absent manifest error. Borrower and Agent may agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. At such time, Pro Rata shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of such Lender’s Commitments and Loans, and all outstanding Revolver Loans and other exposures under the Revolver Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders and settled by Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender) in accordance with the readjusted Pro Rata shares. Unless expressly agreed by Borrower and Agent, no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan or otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.

4.3 One Obligation. The Loans and other Obligations constitute one general obligation of Borrower and are secured by Agent’s Lien (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) on all Collateral; provided, however, that Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by Borrower.

4.4 Effect of Termination. On the Maturity Date, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, and any Lender may terminate its and its Affiliates’ Bank Products (including, only with the consent of Agent, any Cash Management Services). All undertakings of Borrower contained in the Transaction Documents shall survive any termination, and Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties and all of its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents until Full Payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding Full Payment of the Obligations, Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens in any Collateral unless, with respect to any damages Agent may incur as a result of the dishonor or return of Payment Items applied to Obligations, Agent receives (a) a written agreement satisfactory to Agent, executed by Borrower and any Person whose advances are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Agent and Lenders from such damages; and (b) such Cash Collateral as Agent, in its discretion, deems appropriate to protect against such damages. Sections 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 5.6, 5.10, 5.11, 11, 13.2 and this Section 4.4, and the obligation of Borrower and Lender with respect to each indemnity given by it in any Transaction Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations and any release relating to this credit facility.

SECTION 5. PAYMENTS

5.1 General Payment Provisions. All payments of Obligations shall be made in Dollars, without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, free of (and without deduction for) any Taxes (except as required by Applicable Law), and in immediately available funds, not later than 12:00 noon on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. Any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans, then to LIBOR Index Loans.

5.2 Repayment of Revolver Loans. Revolver Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date, unless payment is sooner required hereunder. Subject to Section 2.1.4(b), Revolver Loans may be prepaid from time to time, without penalty or premium in accordance with the terms of Section 5.7 of this Agreement. If any asset disposition includes the disposition of Bank Loans or other Property outside of, in the case of such other Property, the Ordinary Course of Business, then the net proceeds thereof shall be applied to the Revolver Loans in an amount equal to not less than the value allocated to such Bank Loans in the Borrowing Base. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Overadvance exists, Borrower shall, on the sooner of Agent’s demand or the first Business Day after Borrower has knowledge thereof, repay the outstanding Revolver Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the principal balance of Revolver Loans to the Borrowing Base.

-32-

5.3 Reserved.

5.4 Payment of Other Obligations. Obligations other than Loans, including Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by Borrower as provided in the Transaction Documents or, if no payment date is specified, on demand.

5.5 Dominion Account. Borrower shall maintain one or more Dominion Accounts with Custodian pursuant to lockbox or other arrangements with Custodian. Borrower shall obtain an agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to Agent) from each lockbox servicer and Dominion Account bank, establishing Agent’s control over and Lien in (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) the lockbox or a Dominion Account, requiring immediate deposit of all remittances received in the lockbox to a Dominion Account, providing for a daily sweep of such remittances to the Agent and waiving offset rights of such servicer or bank, except for customary administrative charges. Agent and Lenders assume no responsibility to Borrower for any lockbox arrangement or a Dominion Account, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to any Payment Items accepted by any bank. Agent shall have the right at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default to contact directly any or all administrative agents with respect to Portfolio Investments (or if there is no administrative agent for such Portfolio Investment, any Portfolio Company) to ensure that payments on the Bank Loans are directed to a Dominion Account. Borrower shall request in writing and otherwise take all necessary steps to ensure that all payments on Bank Loans or otherwise relating to Collateral are made directly to a Dominion Account (or a lockbox relating to a Dominion Account). If Borrower or Servicer receives cash or Payment Items with respect to any Collateral, it shall hold the same in trust and as agent for Agent (and shall not be commingled with Borrower’s or Servicer’s other funds) and promptly (not later than the next Business Day) deposit same into a Dominion Account. All such cash and Payment Items shall be subject to the Lien of Agent upon the earlier of the receipt thereof by Agent, Borrower or Servicer. Borrower hereby grants to Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) a Lien upon all items and balances held in any lockbox and the Dominion Account as security for the payment of the Obligations, in addition to and cumulative with the general security interest in all other assets of Borrower (including all Deposit Accounts) as provided elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Agent shall be entitled to apply immediately to the Obligations any wire transfer, check or other item of payment received by Agent. Interest shall continue accruing on the amount of any wire transfer, check or other Payment Item for one Business Day after the date that the proceeds of such wire transfer, check or other payment item become good, collected funds received by Agent and are applied to the Obligations. Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments and collections at any time or times hereafter received by Agent from or on behalf of Borrower, and Borrower does hereby irrevocably agree that Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and collections received at any time or times hereafter by Agent or its agent against the Obligations in such manner as set forth herein.

5.6 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of Agent or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any of its Affiliates or against any Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to Agent or any Lender, or Agent or any Lender exercises a right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

-33-

5.7 Allocation of Payments

5.7.1 Allocation.

(a) Except as provided in clause (b) below, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by Portfolio Companies, realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows:

1. first, to all Administrative Expenses then due and payable;

2. second, to all costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to Agent;

3. third, to all Obligations constituting fees then due and payable (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations);

4. fourth, to all Obligations constituting interest then due and payable (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations);

5. fifth, to all amounts owing to Agent on Swingline Loans;

6. sixth, to the principal amount of the Loans; and

7. last, to all other Obligations, including all Borrower Expenses then due and payable.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all payments when due hereunder shall be applied by the Agent as follows:

1. first, to all Administrative Expenses then due and payable (other than Administrative Expenses arising pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof);

2. second, to all costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to Agent;

3. third, to all amounts owing to Agent on Swingline Loans;

4. fourth, to all Obligations constituting fees (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations);

5. fifth, to all Obligations constituting interest (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations);

6. sixth, to all Loans and Secured Bank Product Obligations, including Cash Collateralization of Secured Bank Product Obligations; and

7. last, to all other Obligations, including all Borrower Expenses and costs and expenses owing to Servicer (including Administrative Expenses arising pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof).

-34-

Amounts shall be applied to each category of Obligations set forth above until Full Payment thereof and then to the next category. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be applied on a pro rata basis among the Obligations in the category. Amounts distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations shall be the lesser of the maximum Secured Bank Product Obligations last reported to Agent or the actual Secured Bank Product Obligations as calculated by the methodology reported to Agent for determining the amount due. Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations, and may request a reasonably detailed calculation of such amount from the applicable Secured Party. If a Secured Party fails to deliver such calculation within five days following request by Agent, Agent may assume the amount to be distributed is zero. The allocations set forth in this Section are solely to determine the rights and priorities of Agent and Secured Parties as among themselves, and may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of Borrower. This Section is not for the benefit of or enforceable by Borrower.

5.7.2 Erroneous Application. Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by any Lender, such Lender hereby agrees to return it).

5.8 Application of Payments

5.8.1 Dominion Account. On any Business Day on which the entire ledger balance in the Dominion Account exceeds $10,000, an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the entire balance in the Dominion Account, or (b) the outstanding amount of the Obligations shall be directed to Agent and applied by Agent to the Obligations at the beginning of the next Business Day in accordance with Section 5.7. If, as a result of such application, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrower and shall be made available to Borrower as long as no Default or Event of Default exists. Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds, and agrees that Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the Obligations, in such manner as set forth in Section 5.7.

5.8.2 Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds. Any proceeds of insurance (other than proceeds from workers’ compensation or D&O insurance) and any awards arising from condemnation of any Collateral shall be paid to Agent. Any such proceeds or awards shall be applied to payment of the Revolver Loans, and then to any other Obligations outstanding.

5.8.3 Reinvestment. If requested by Borrower in writing within 15 days after Agent’s receipt of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards relating to any loss or destruction of Equipment or real estate, Borrower may use such proceeds or awards to repair or replace such Equipment or real estate (and until so used, the proceeds shall be held by Agent as Cash Collateral or applied to the Revolver Loans) as long as (i) no Default or Event of Default exists; (ii) such repair or replacement is promptly undertaken and concluded, in accordance with plans satisfactory to Agent (but in any event concluded within 180 days after the date of such loss); (iii) replacement buildings are constructed on the sites of the original casualties and are of comparable size, quality and utility to the destroyed buildings; (iv) the repaired or replaced Property is free of Liens (except in favor of Agent); (v) Borrower complies with disbursement procedures for such repair or replacement as Agent may reasonably require; and (vi) the aggregate amount of such proceeds or awards from any single casualty or condemnation does not exceed $50,000.

-35-

5.9 Loan Account; Account Stated

5.9.1 Loan Account. Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (“Loan Account”) evidencing the Debt of Borrower resulting from each Loan from time to time. Any failure of Agent to record anything in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower to pay any amount owing hereunder. Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of Borrower, and Borrower confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on its liability for the Obligations.

5.9.2 Entries Binding. Entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in the Loan Account is provided to or inspected by any Person, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Agent in writing within 30 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

5.10 Taxes

5.10.1 Payments Free of Taxes. All payments by Borrower of Obligations shall be free and clear of and without reduction for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If Applicable Law requires Borrower or Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax (as determined in the good faith discretion of Borrower or Agent, as applicable, and including backup withholding or withholding Tax), the withholding or deduction shall be based on information provided pursuant to Section 5.11 and Agent shall pay the amount withheld or deducted to the relevant governmental authority. If the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased so that Agent or Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received if no such withholding or deduction (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) had been made. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant governmental authorities.

5.10.2 Payment. Borrower shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within 10 days after demand therefor) Agent and Lenders for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including those attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by Borrower or Agent, or paid by Agent or any Lender with respect to any Obligations or Transaction Documents, whether or not such Taxes were properly asserted by the relevant governmental authority, and including all penalties, interest and reasonable expenses relating thereto. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Agent, or by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Agent a receipt from the governmental authority or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Agent.

-36-

5.10.3 Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 5.10.3 (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 5.10.3, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.10.3, the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

5.11 Lender Tax Information

5.11.1 Status of Lenders. Each Lender shall deliver documentation and information to Agent and Borrower, at the times and in form required by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower, sufficient to permit Agent or Borrower to determine (a) whether or not payments made with respect to Obligations are subject to Taxes, (b) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (c) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes for such payments or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

5.11.2 Documentation. If Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(a) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Agent and Borrower 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 Agent and Borrower) executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.;

(b) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Agent and Borrower 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 Agent and Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable

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

-37-

(iii) executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation; or

(c) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Agent and Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Agent or Borrower), 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 Agent or Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

5.11.3 Lender Obligations. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification and promptly notify Borrower and Agent of any change in circumstances that would change any claimed Tax exemption or reduction. Each Lender shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within 10 days after demand therefor) Borrower and Agent for any Taxes, losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by or asserted against Borrower or Agent by any governmental authority due to such Lender’s failure to deliver, or inaccuracy or deficiency in, any documentation required to be delivered by it pursuant to this Section. Each Lender authorizes Agent to set off any amounts due to Agent under this Section against any amounts payable to such Lender under any Transaction Document.

5.11.4 FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by 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 Agent as may be necessary for Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA, applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable) or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

SECTION 6. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

6.1 Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans. In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 6.2, Lenders shall not be required to fund any requested Loan, or otherwise extend credit to Borrower hereunder, until the date (“Closing Date”) that each of the conditions set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto have been satisfied or waived in writing by Agent.

-38-

6.2 Conditions Precedent to All Credit Extensions. Agent and Lenders shall not be required to fund any Loans or grant any other accommodation to or for the benefit of Borrower, unless the following conditions are satisfied:

(a) No Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of, or result from, such funding, issuance or grant;

(b) The representations and warranties of Borrower in the Transaction Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on the date of, and upon giving effect to, such funding, issuance or grant (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct on such earlier date, and that any representation or warranty which is subject to any materiality qualifier shall be required to be true and correct in all respects);

Each request (or deemed request) by Borrower for funding of a Loan or grant of an accommodation shall constitute a representation by Borrower that the foregoing conditions are satisfied on the date of such request and on the date of such funding, issuance or grant. As an additional condition to any funding, issuance or grant, Agent shall have received such other information, documents, instruments and agreements as it deems appropriate in connection therewith including, but not limited to, an updated Borrowing Base Certificate. Each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be deemed to be reaffirmed by Borrower as being true and correct in all material respects (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct on such earlier date, and that any representation or warranty which is subject to any materiality qualifier shall be required to be true and correct in all respects) on each day that Borrower requests or is deemed to have requested an extension of credit hereunder, except for changes in the nature of Borrower’s or, if applicable, any Subsidiary’s business or operations that may occur after the date hereof in the Ordinary Course of Business so long as Agent has consented to such changes or such changes are not violative of any provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 7. COLLATERAL

7.1 Grant of Security Interest. To secure the prompt payment and performance of all Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon the following Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever located: (a) all Accounts; (b) all Chattel Paper, including electronic chattel paper; (c) all Commercial Tort Claims, including those shown on Schedule 7; (d) all Deposit Accounts; (e) all Documents; (f) all General Intangibles, including Intellectual Property; (g) all Goods, including Inventory, Equipment and fixtures; (h) all Instruments; (i) all Investment Property; (j) all Letter-of-Credit Rights; (k) all Supporting Obligations; (l) all monies, whether or not in the possession or under the control of Agent, a Lender, or a bailee or Affiliate of Agent or a Lender, including any Cash Collateral; (m) all accessions to, substitutions for, and all replacements, products, and cash and non-cash proceeds of the foregoing, including proceeds of and unearned premiums with respect to insurance policies, and claims against any Person for loss, damage or destruction of any Collateral; (n) all books and records (including customer lists, files, correspondence, tapes, computer programs, print-outs and computer records) pertaining to the foregoing; and (o) all other personal Property of Borrower.

7.2 Lien on Other Collateral

7.2.1 Deposit and other Accounts. To further secure the prompt payment and performance of all Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all amounts credited to any Deposit Account, Securities Account and Commodity Account of Borrower, including any sums in any blocked or lockbox accounts or in any accounts into which such sums are swept. Borrower hereby authorizes and directs each bank or other depository to deliver to Agent, upon request, all balances in any Deposit Account, Securities Account and Commodity Account maintained by Borrower, without inquiry into the authority or right of Agent to make such request. Borrower shall take all actions (including, without limitation, the delivery of one or more control agreements) necessary to establish Agent’s control (including through the execution of a deposit account control agreement as required by Agent) of each such Deposit Account, Securities Account and Commodity Account (other than a Deposit Account exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes or employee benefits, or an account containing not more than $10,000 at any time). Borrower shall be the sole account holder of each Deposit Account and shall not allow any other Person (other than Agent) to have control over a Deposit Account or any Property deposited therein (other than a Deposit Account exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes or employee benefits). Borrower shall promptly notify Agent of any opening or closing of a Deposit Account and, with the consent of Agent, will amend Schedule 2 to reflect same. At all times on and after the Closing Date, all Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts and Commodity Accounts shall be primarily maintained with the Custodian.

7.2.2 Cash Collateral. Any Cash Collateral may be invested, at Agent’s discretion (and with the consent of Borrower, as long as no Event of Default exists), but Agent shall have no duty to do so, regardless of any agreement or course of dealing with Borrower, and shall have no responsibility for any investment or loss. Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties and as security for the Obligations, a security interest in all Cash Collateral held from time to time and all proceeds thereof, whether held in a Cash Collateral Account or otherwise. Agent may apply Cash Collateral to the payment of Obligations as they become due, as provided in Section 5.7 hereof. Each Cash Collateral Account and all Cash Collateral shall be under the sole dominion and control of Agent, and neither Borrower nor other Person shall have any right to any Cash Collateral, until Full Payment of all Obligations.

7.3 Reserved.

-40-

7.4 Other Collateral

7.4.1 Commercial Tort Claims. Borrower shall promptly notify Agent in writing if Borrower has a Commercial Tort Claim (other than, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, a Commercial Tort Claim for less than $200,000), shall promptly amend Schedule 7 to include such claim, and shall take such actions as Agent deems appropriate to subject such claim to a duly perfected, first priority Lien in favor of Agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties).

(c) not more than $8,000,000 of the Borrowing Base may consist of Eligible Portfolio Investments of the same Portfolio Company;

(e) Eligible Portfolio Investments for which the applicable Portfolio Company had Portfolio Company EBITDA equal to or greater than $3,000,000 but less than $10,000,000 for the 12 month period most recently ended shall be excluded from the Borrowing Base to the extent such Eligible Portfolio Investments would exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the Borrowing Base, and all Portfolio Investments for which the applicable Portfolio Company had Portfolio Company EBITDA of less than $3,000,000 shall be excluded from the Borrowing Base; and

(f) not more than 10% of the Borrowing Base may consist of Eligible Portfolio Investments consisting of Short Term Loans.

For all purposes of this Section 9.1.10, all issuers of Eligible Portfolio Investments that are Affiliates of one another shall be treated as a single issuer (unless such issuers are Affiliates of one another solely because they are under the common Control of the same private equity sponsor or similar sponsor). For the avoidance of doubt, no Portfolio Investment shall be an Eligible Portfolio Investment unless, among the other requirements set forth in this Agreement, (i) such Investment is subject only to Permitted Liens and (ii) such Investment is Transferable (as defined on Schedule 12).

9.1.11 Portfolio Value and Diversification.

(a) Intentionally Omitted.

(b) Portfolio Valuation, Etc.

(i) Settlement Date Basis.

-55-

(ii) Determination of Values. Borrower will conduct reviews of the value to be assigned to each of its Eligible Portfolio Investments as follows:

(A) Quoted Investments External Review. With respect to Quoted Investments, Borrower shall, on the date of any Notice of Borrowing and otherwise not less frequently than once each calendar month, determine the market value of such Quoted Investments which shall, in each case, be determined in accordance with one of the following methodologies as selected by Borrower (each such value, an “External Quoted Value”):

(w) in the case of public and 144A securities, the average of the recent bid prices as determined by two Approved Dealers selected by Borrower,

(x) in the case of Bank Loans, the average of the recent bid prices as determined by two Approved Dealers selected by Borrower or an Approved Pricing Service which makes reference to at least two Approved Dealers with respect to such Bank Loans,

(y) in the case of any Quoted Investment traded on an exchange, the closing price for such Eligible Portfolio Investment most recently posted on such exchange, and

(z) in the case of any other Quoted Investment, the fair market value thereof as determined by an Approved Pricing Service.

(B) Unquoted Investments External Review. With respect to Unquoted Investments:

(w) Commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2018 and for each Fiscal Quarter thereafter (or such other dates as are reasonably agreed by Borrower and the Agent (provided that such testing dates shall occur not less than quarterly), each a “Valuation Testing Date”), the Agent through an Independent Valuation Provider may, in its Permitted Discretion, solely for the purposes of determining the Borrowing Base, test the values as of such Valuation Testing Date of those Unquoted Investments that are Portfolio Investments included in the Borrowing Base selected by the Agent (such selected assets, the “IVP Tested Assets” and such value, the “IVP External Unquoted Value”); provided that for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any Unquoted Investments acquired during a Fiscal Quarter, the value shall be as determined pursuant to clause (b)(ii)(E)(z)(2) below); provided, further that the Agent shall provide written notice to Borrower, setting forth a description of which Unquoted Investments shall be IVP Tested Assets as of such Valuation Testing Date, not later than 15 days prior to the Valuation Testing Date (or such later date as agreed to between the Agent and Borrower).

(x) With respect to all Unquoted Investments that are not IVP Tested Assets as of such Valuation Testing Date and which were acquired at least 45 days prior to such Valuation Testing Date (the “Borrower Tested Assets”), Borrower shall request an Approved Third-Party Appraiser to assist the Borrower in determining the fair market value of the remaining Unquoted Investments, as of each Valuation Testing Date (such value, the “Borrower External Unquoted Value”), and to provide the Borrower with a written independent valuation report as part of that assistance each quarter. The fair market value of any Portfolio Investment that has been determined without the assistance of an Independent Valuation Provider or an Approved Third-Party Appraiser shall be deemed to be zero until such asset is valued by an Independent Valuation Provider or an Approved Third-Party Appraiser (but effective upon the date upon which the Borrowing Base Certificate for such last day is required to be delivered); provided that for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any Unquoted Investments acquired during a Fiscal Quarter, the value shall be as determined pursuant to clause (b)(ii)(E)(z)(2) below.

-56-

(y) Each Unquoted Investment shall receive an valuation pursuant to either Section 9.1.11(b)(ii)(B)(w) or Section 9.1.11(b)(ii)(B)(x) at least once during each three (3) month period.

(z) The Agent shall have sole and absolute discretion to revise the value of any Portfolio Investment included in the Borrowing Base, or to reject Collateral from inclusion in the Borrowing Base.

(C) Internal Review. Borrower shall conduct internal reviews to determine the value of all Eligible Portfolio Investments (x) at least once each calendar quarter, in the case of Unquoted Investments, (y) once each month, in the case of each Quoted Investment or (z) in each case at such other times as Borrower has knowledge of any event that may adversely affect the value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment (each such value, an “Internal Value”).

(D) Value of Quoted Investments. Subject to Sections 9.1.11(b)(ii)(G) and 9.1.11(b)(v), the “Value” of each Quoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be the lowest of (1) the Internal Value of such Quoted Investment as most recently determined by Borrower pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii)(C), (2) the External Quoted Value of such Quoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii)(A) and (3) if such Quoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Quoted Investment; provided that in no event shall the Value of any Quoted Investment be greater than par for Borrowing Base purposes.

(E) Value of Unquoted Investments. Subject to Sections 9.1.11(ii)(G) and 9.1.11(v),

(x) if the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently determined by Borrower pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii)(C) falls below the range of the IVP External Unquoted Value or the Borrower External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii)(B), then the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the lower of (i) the Internal Value and (ii) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment;

-57-

(y) (i) if the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently determined by Borrower pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii)(C) falls above the range of the Borrower External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii)(B), then the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the lower of (i) the midpoint of the range of the Borrower External Unquoted Value and (ii) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment;

(ii) if the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently determined by Borrower pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii)(C) falls more than 5% above the midpoint of the range of the IVP External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii)(B), then the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the lower of (i) the midpoint of the range of the IVP External Unquoted Value and (ii) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment; and

(z) if the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently determined by Borrower pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii)(C) is within the range of the Borrower External Unquoted Value, or within or not more than 5% above the midpoint of the range of the IVP External Unquoted Value, of such Unquoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii)(B), then the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the lower of (i) the Internal Value and (ii) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment;

except that:

(1) if the difference between the highest and lowest Borrower External Unquoted Value in such range exceeds an amount equal to 6% of the midpoint of such range, the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall instead be deemed to be the lowest of (i) the lowest Borrower External Unquoted Value in such range, (ii) the Internal Value determined pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii)(C), and (iii) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment;

(2) if an Unquoted Investment is acquired during a Fiscal Quarter, the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be equal to the lowest of (x) the Internal Value of such Unquoted Investment as determined by Borrower pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii)(C), (y) the cost of such Unquoted Investment until such time as the Borrower External Unquoted Value or IVP External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment is determined in accordance with Section 9.1.11(b)(ii)(B) as at the applicable Valuation Testing Date, and (z)  if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment; and

-58-

(3) in no event shall the Value of any Unquoted Investment be greater than par for Borrowing Base purposes.

(F) Actions Upon an Overadvance. If, based upon such internal review, Borrower determines that an Overadvance exists or that the Borrowing Base has declined by more than 15% from the Borrowing Base stated in the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered by Borrower to the Agent, then Borrower shall, promptly and in any event within two Business Days as provided in Section 9.1.3(a), deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting the new amount of the Borrowing Base and shall take the actions, and make the payments and prepayments (if any), all as more specifically set forth in Section 2.1.5.

(G) Failure to Determine Values. If Borrower shall fail to determine the value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment as at any date pursuant to the requirements (but subject to the exclusions) of the foregoing subclauses (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) (or if the Agent shall fail to determine the value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment as described in the foregoing subclause (B) as a result of any action, inaction or lack of cooperation of Borrower or any of its Affiliates), then the “Value” of such Eligible Portfolio Investment as at such date shall be deemed to be zero. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if the Agent shall fail to determine the value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment as at any date pursuant to clause (B)(x), then the “Value” of such Eligible Portfolio Investment as at such date (subject to clause (iii) below) shall be the lower of (x) the Internal Value and (y) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment, provided, however, that if a Borrower External Unquoted Value or IVP External Unquoted Value has been obtained with respect to such asset, then the “Value” of such Eligible Portfolio Investment will be determined as provided in clause (E) above.

(H) Initial Value of Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, from the Closing Date until the date when valuation reports are required to be delivered under Section 9.1.3(g) for the Fiscal Quarter ending December 31, 2018, the Value of any Unquoted Investment included in the Borrowing Base shall be the lower of (i) the Internal Value of such Unquoted Investment determined by Borrower pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii)(C) and (ii) if such Unquoted Investment is a debt investment, the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment.

-59-

(v) Supplemental Testing of Values; Valuation Dispute Resolutions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent, individually or at the request of the Required Lenders, shall at any time have the right to request any Eligible Portfolio Investment (other than IVP Tested Assets as of the most recent Valuation Testing Date) included in the Borrowing Base with a value determined pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii) to be independently valued by an Independent Valuation Provider. There shall be no limit on the number of such appraisals requested by the Agent and the costs of any such valuation shall be at the expense of Borrower. If the value of any Borrower Tested Asset determined pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii) differs from the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider and the difference between such values is (1) less than or equal to 5% of the value determined pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii), then the value determined pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii) shall become the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment, (2) greater than 5% and less than or equal to 20% of the value determined pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii), then the average of the value determined pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii) and the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider shall become the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment, and (3) greater than 20% of the value determined pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii), then either (i) the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment shall be the lesser of the value determined pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii) and the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider or (ii) if Borrower so elects, Borrower and the Agent shall retain (at Borrower’s sole cost and expense) an additional Approved Third-Party Appraiser and, upon completion of such appraisal, the “Value” of such Portfolio Investment shall be the average of the three valuations (with the average of the value determined pursuant to Section 9.1.11(b)(ii) and the value determined by the Independent Valuation Provider to be used until the third value is obtained). For purposes of this Section 9.1.11(v), the “Value” of any Portfolio Investment for which the Independent Valuation Provider’s value is used shall be the midpoint of the range (if any) determined by the Independent Valuation Provider.

(iii) Generally Applicable Valuation Provisions.

(A) The Independent Valuation Provider shall apply a recognized valuation methodology that is commonly accepted in Borrower’s industry for valuing Portfolio Investments of the type being valued and held by Borrower. Other procedures relating to the valuation will be reasonably agreed upon by the Agent and Borrower.

(B) All valuations shall be on a Settlement-Date Basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the value of any Portfolio Investments determined in accordance with any provision of this Section 9.1.11 shall be the Value of such Portfolio Investment for purposes of this Agreement until a new Value for such Portfolio Investment is subsequently determined in good faith in accordance with this Section 9.1.11.

(C) The documented out-of-pocket costs of any valuation reasonably incurred by the Agent under this Section 9.1.11 shall be at the expense of Borrower.

(D) The Agent shall provide a copy of the final results of any valuation received by the Agent and performed by the Independent Valuation Provider or the Approved Third-Party Appraiser to any Lender upon such Lender’s request, except to the extent that such recipient (or proposed recipient) has not executed and delivered a non-reliance letter, confidentiality agreement or similar agreement, in each case, requested or required by such Independent Valuation Provider or Approved Third-Party Appraiser, as applicable.

(E) The foregoing valuation procedures shall only be required to be used for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base and shall not be required to be utilized by Borrower for any other purpose, including the delivery of financial statements or valuations required under ASC 820 or the Investment Company Act.

Borrower will not agree or otherwise permit to occur any material change in the Investment and Valuation Policies, which change would impair the collectibility of any Portfolio Investment or otherwise adversely affect the interests or remedies of the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Required Lenders (in the sole discretion of each such Lender; provided, that each Lender shall respond within 10 days following their receipt of any request for approval (as confirmed by such Lender via return e-mail), and any response not given within such 10 day period shall be deemed to be a consent to such request).

9.2.3 Distributions. Declare or make any Distributions provided that Borrower may make Distributions to Parent so long as prior to and after giving pro forma effect to such Distribution (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Distribution, and (b) if such Distribution is a Discretionary Distribution, Availability is greater than or equal to $500,000.

9.2.5 Disposition of Assets. (a) Borrower shall not make any disposition of assets (including a sale, lease, license, consignment or other transfer or disposition of assets (real or personal, tangible or intangible), a division of the Borrower under Delaware law, or a disposition of property in connection with a sale-leaseback transaction or synthetic lease and including any sale or disposition of Equity Interests by any Subsidiary), except as expressly permitted by this Section 9.2.5 or any other provision of this Agreement.

-61-

10.3 License. Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable, non-exclusive license or other right to use, license or sub-license (without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Person) any or all Intellectual Property of Borrower or Servicer, computer hardware and software, trade secrets, brochures, customer lists, promotional and advertising materials, labels, packaging materials and other Property, in advertising for sale, marketing, selling, collecting, completing manufacture of, or otherwise exercising any rights or remedies with respect to, any Collateral.

-67-

10.4 Setoff. At any time during an Event of Default, Agent, Lenders, and any of their Affiliates are authorized, 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 Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any Obligations, regardless of the adequacy of any other Collateral and regardless of whether or not Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of Agent, each Lender and each such Affiliate under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Person may have.

The rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders are cumulative, may be exercised at any time and from time to time, concurrently or in any order, and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies available by agreement, by law, at equity or otherwise. All such rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations.

10.5.2 Waivers.

It is expressly acknowledged by Borrower that any failure to satisfy a financial covenant on a measurement date shall not be cured or remedied by satisfaction of such covenant on a subsequent date.

SECTION 11. AGENT

This Section 11 and the provisions contained in Exhibit D attached hereto (which are hereby incorporated by reference) are an agreement solely among Secured Parties and Agent, and shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations. Neither Exhibit D, nor this Section 11, confer any rights or benefits upon Borrower or any other Person.

12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Servicer, Agent, Lenders, Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) neither Servicer nor Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Transaction Documents; and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3.

Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender.

-68-

12.2 Participations

12.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, subject to Section 12.3.3 and with the prior written consent of Agent, in the Ordinary Course of Business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell to a financial institution (“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any Transaction Documents. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Transaction Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and Commitments for all purposes, all amounts payable by Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Transaction Documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under the Transaction Documents, and Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.10 unless Borrower agrees otherwise in writing.

12.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Transaction Documents other than that which forgives principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, postpones the Commitment Termination Date, Maturity Date, or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or releases Borrower, Guarantor or substantial portion of the Collateral.

12.2.3 Benefit of Set-Off. Borrower agrees that each Participant, if consented to in writing by Agent, shall have a right of set-off in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of set-off with respect to any participating interests sold by it. By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees to share with Lenders all amounts received through its set-off, in accordance with Section V of Exhibit D as if such Participant were a Lender.

12.3 Assignments.

12.3.1 Permitted Assignments. A Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee any of its Loans, rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its discretion); (b) Agent shall have consented to such assignment (except to the extent such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender), (c) Borrower shall have consented to such assignment (except to the extent such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender), with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, provided that Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment within five (5) Business Days after Borrower receives notice of such proposed assignment, and provided further that no such consent shall be required after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and (d) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Assumption. Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Transaction Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including a pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from its obligations hereunder nor substitute the pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

-69-

12.3.2 Effect; Effective Date. Upon delivery to Agent of an assignment notice in form and substance satisfactory to Agent and a processing fee of $3,500 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its discretion), the assignment shall become effective as specified in the notice, if it complies with this Section 12.3. From such effective date, the Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Transaction Documents, and shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder. Upon consummation of an assignment, the transferor Lender, Agent and Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements for issuance of replacement and/or new promissory notes, as applicable, in favor of such assignee Lender. The transferee Lender shall comply with Section 5.11 and deliver, upon request, an administrative questionnaire satisfactory to Agent.

12.3.3 Certain Assignees. No assignment or participation may be made to Borrower, Affiliate of Borrower, Defaulting Lender or natural person. In connection with any assignment by a Defaulting Lender, such assignment shall be effective only upon payment by the Eligible Assignee or Defaulting Lender to Agent of an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution (through direct payment, purchases of participations or other compensating actions as Agent deems appropriate), (a) to satisfy all funding and payment liabilities then owing by the Defaulting Lender hereunder, and (b) to acquire its Pro Rata share of all Loans. If an assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall become effective under Applicable Law for any reason without compliance with the foregoing sentence, then the assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes until such compliance occurs.

12.3.4 Certain Pledges. Any Lender may, at any time and without consent of Borrower or Agent, pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under any notes issued for its benefit) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any funding source of such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

12.4 Replacement of Certain Lenders.

If a Lender (a) requests compensation under Section 3.7.1 or requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.10 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.8, (b) fails to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and Required Lenders consented, or (b) is a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, Agent or Borrower may, by notice to such Lender within 120 days after such event, require such Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents to Eligible Assignee(s), pursuant to appropriate Assignment and Assumption(s), within 20 days after the notice; provided, that in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.7.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.10, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter. Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Assumption if the Lender fails to execute it. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash from such Eligible Assignee, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Transaction Documents, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (but excluding any prepayment charge).

13.1.2 Limitations. The agreement of Borrower or Servicer shall not be necessary to the effectiveness of any modification of a Transaction Document that deals solely with the rights and duties of Lenders, and/or Agent as among themselves. Only the consent of the parties to the Fee Letter or any agreement relating to a Bank Product shall be required for any modification of such agreement, and any non-Lender that is party to a Bank Product agreement shall have no right to participate in any manner in modification of any other Transaction Document. Any waiver or consent granted by Agent or Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and only for the matter specified.

13.1.3 Payment for Consents. Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Transaction Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent.

-71-

13.2 Indemnity. BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, COSTS, EXPENSES AND OTHER AMOUNTS OF ANY KIND THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, THE COLLATERAL, ANY BREACH BY BORROWER, SERVICER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES OF APPLICABLE LAW, OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING CLAIMS ASSERTED BY BORROWER OTHER PERSON OR ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE; provided, however, in no event shall Borrower have any obligation to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to (a) any claims, liabilities, costs, expenses and other amounts of any kind in any way related to the Transaction Documents or Collateral that are determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee, or (b) any claims, liabilities, costs, expenses and other amounts of any kind arising from disputes brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee that does not arise out of any act or omission of Borrower, Servicer or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

Subject to Section 4.1.4, all notices and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to Borrower, at Borrower’s address shown on the signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment and Assumption), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 13.3. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective only (a) if given by mail, three Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; (b) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged; or (c) if given by electronic means, only at the time and to the extent provided in Section 13.3.2. In no event shall a voicemail message be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation under any of the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to Agent pursuant to Section 2.1.4, 3.1.2, or 4.1.1 shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention at Agent such notice is required to be sent. Any written notice or other communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party.

13.3.2 Electronic Communications. (i) Borrower authorizes Agent and Lenders to extend Loans, effect selections of interest rates, and transfer funds to or on behalf of Borrower based on instructions sent by electronic mail. Borrower shall confirm each such request by prompt delivery to Agent of a Notice of Borrowing, if applicable, but if the foregoing differs in any material respect from the action taken by Agent, the records of Agent shall govern.

(ii) Electronic mail and internet websites may be used for delivery of financial statements, Borrowing Base Certificates and other information required by Section 9.1.3 (other than notices), administrative matters and distribution of Transaction Documents for execution, pursuant to procedures approved by Agent or as otherwise determined by Agent. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided Section 13.2.2(i), notices delivered by electronic mail may not be used as effective notice under the Transaction Documents.

(iii) Unless Agent otherwise requires, communications sent to an electronic mail address of Agent shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail, or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

-72-

(iv) Agent shall not have any liability for any loss suffered by Borrower as a result of Agent’s acting upon its understanding of electronic mail requests or instructions from a Person believed in good faith by Agent to be a Person authorized to give such requests or instructions on Borrower’s behalf. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any claims arising from any electronic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower.

(v) Agent may, in its discretion and upon notice to Borrower (A) cease or suspend any actual or implied obligation it may have to act based on such electronic communications and (B) thereafter, disregard any such electronic communications.

13.3.3 Non-Conforming Communications. Agent and Lenders may rely upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower even if such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower.

13.4 Performance of Borrower’s Obligations. Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at Borrower’s expense, pay any amount or do any act required of Borrower under any Transaction Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Agent to (a) enforce any Transaction Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Agent under this Section shall be reimbursed to Agent by Borrower, on demand, with interest from the date incurred to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Revolver Loans. Any payment made or action taken by Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Transaction Documents.

13.5 Credit Inquiries. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent and Lenders (but they shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning Borrower.

13.6 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Transaction Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Transaction Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

13.7 Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Transaction Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Transaction Documents may use several limitations, tests or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Transaction Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Transaction Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.

-73-

13.8 Counterparts. Any Transaction Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when Agent has received counterparts bearing the signatures of all parties hereto. Delivery of a signature page of any Transaction Document by telecopy or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such agreement.

13.9 Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence of the Transaction Documents. The Transaction Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

13.10 Relationship with Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt. It shall not be necessary for Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of Agent, Lenders or any other Secured Party pursuant to the Transaction Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to constitute Agent and any Secured Party to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of entity, nor to constitute control of Borrower.

13.11 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Transaction Document, Borrower and Servicer acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and any related arranging or other services by Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrower, Servicer and such Person; (ii) Borrower and Servicer have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Borrower and Servicer are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents; (b) each of Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrower or Servicer, any of their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrower and Servicer and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrower and Servicer or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower and Servicer hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Transaction Document.

-74-

13.12 Confidentiality. Each of Agent and Lenders shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and funding or financing sources, and to its and their partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (provided such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates; (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or other legal process (provided that such Agent or Lender shall, to the extent permitted by law, endeavor to promptly notify the Borrower in advance of such pending disclosure); (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with any action or proceeding, or other exercise of rights or remedies, relating to any Transaction Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as this Section, to any Transferee or any actual or prospective party (or its advisors) to any Bank Product; (g) with the consent of Borrower; or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) is available to Agent, any Lender, or any of their Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and Lenders may publish or disseminate general information describing this credit facility, including the names and addresses of Borrower and a general description of Borrower’s and Parent’s businesses, and may use Borrower’s and Parent’s logos, trademarks or product photographs in advertising materials, including, without limitation, “tombstones”, league tables and press releases. As used herein, “Information” means all information received from Borrower or Parent relating to it or its business that is identified as confidential when delivered. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises the same degree of care that it accords its own confidential information. Each of Agent and Lenders acknowledges that (i) Information may include material non-public information concerning Parent or Borrower; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including federal and state securities laws. Borrower and Parent consent to the publication by Agent or any Lender of advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using Borrower’s or Parent’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark. Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

13.13 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS).

13.14 Consent to Forum. BORROWER AND SERVICER EACH HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER NEW YORK, NEW YORK, IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT. BORROWER AND SERVICER EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 13.3.1. Nothing herein shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against Borrower or Servicer in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by Agent of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

-75-

13.15 Waivers by BORROWER AND SERVICER. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower and SERVICER EACH hereby knowingly, intentionally and intelligently waives (with the benefit of advice of legal counsel of its own choosing), (a) the right to trial by jury (which Agent and each Lender hereby also waives) in any proceeding or dispute of any kind relating in any way to any Transaction Documents, Obligations or Collateral; (b) presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Agent on which Borrower may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies anything Agent may do in this regard; (c) notice prior to taking possession or control of any Collateral; (d) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing Agent to exercise any rights or remedies; (e) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (f) any claim against Agent or any Lender, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in any way relating to any enforcement action or exercise of rights or remedies, of any kind, the Obligations, Transaction Documents or transactions relating thereto; (g) notice of acceptance hereof; and (h) the right to assert any confidential relationship that it may have under applicable law with any accounting firm and/or service bureau in connection with any information requested by Agent pursuant to or in accordance with this Agreement (and BORROWER and SERVICER EACH agree that Agent may contact directly and such accounting firm and/or service bureau in order to obtain any such information). BORROWER AND SERVICER Each acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to Agent and Lenders entering into this Agreement and that they are relying upon the foregoing in their dealings with Borrower. BORROWER AND SERVICER Each has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

13.16 Power of Attorney. Borrower and Servicer hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent) as Borrower or Servicer’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) for the purposes provided in this Section. Agent, or Agent’s designee, may, without notice and in either its or Borrower’s name, but at the cost and expense of Borrower: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any Payment Item or other proceeds of Collateral (including proceeds of insurance) that come into Agent’s possession or control; and (b) during an Event of Default, (i) collect, liquidate and receive balances in Deposit Accounts or investment accounts, and take control, in any manner, of proceeds of Collateral; (ii) prepare, file and sign Borrower’s name to a proof of claim or other document in a bankruptcy of a Portfolio Company, or to any notice, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document; (iii) receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Borrower, and notify postal authorities to deliver any such mail to an address designated by Agent; (iv) endorse any Chattel Paper, Document, Instrument, xxxx of lading, or other document or agreement relating to any Collateral; (v) use Borrower’s stationery and sign its name to verifications of Bank Loans; (vi) use information contained in any data processing, electronic or information systems relating to Collateral; (vii) make and adjust claims under insurance policies; (viii) take any action as may be necessary or appropriate to obtain payment under any letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or other instrument for which Borrower is a beneficiary; and (ix) take all other actions as Agent deems appropriate to fulfill Borrower’s obligations under the Transaction Documents.

13.17 PATRIOT Act Notice; Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Agent and Lenders hereby notify Borrower and Servicer that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, Agent and Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and Servicer, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. Agent and Lenders will also require information regarding each personal guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding Borrower’s and Servicer’s management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth. Upon the reasonable request of any Lender made at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall have provided to such Lender the documentation and other information so requested in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act, in each case at least five days prior to the Closing Date. At least five days prior to the Closing Date, any Borrower that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation shall deliver a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Borrower.
