(a) In connection with all calculations required to be made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to scheduled payments on any Collateral Obligations, or any payments on any other assets included in the Collateral, with respect to the Sale of, and investment or reinvestment in, Collateral Obligations, and with respect to the income that can be earned on scheduled payments on such Collateral Obligations and on any other amounts that may be received for deposit in the Collection Account, the provisions set forth in this Section 1.5 will apply. The provisions of this Section 1.5 are applicable to any determination or calculation that is covered by this Section 1.5, whether or not reference is specifically made to this Section 1.5, unless some other method of calculation or determination is expressly specified in the particular provision.

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

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

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

(e) The Blocker Subsidiary collateral obligations that are treated as “Collateral Obligations” pursuant to Section 2.12(e) are subject to the requirements of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to the same extent as if the Collateral Obligations were owned directly by the Borrower (including the Collateral Quality Test, the Eligibility Criteria and Section 2.12(e)).

(f) Calculation of the Coverage Tests, the Interest Diversion Ratio Test and the Advance Rate Test will not include scheduled interest and principal payments on Defaulted Obligations unless or until such payments are actually made.

(g) For each Collection Period and as of any date of determination, the scheduled payments on any Collateral Obligations (other than Defaulted Obligations, which, except as otherwise provided herein, will be assumed to have a scheduled payment of zero) are the sum of (i) the total amount of payments and collections to be received during such Collection Period in respect of such Collateral Obligations (including the Sale Proceeds received and, in the case of Sales which have not yet settled, to be received during such Collection Period) and not reinvested in Additional Collateral Obligations or retained in the Collection Account for subsequent reinvestment pursuant to Section 2.12(c) that, if received as scheduled, will be available in the Collection Account at the end of such Collection Period and (ii) any such amounts received in prior Collection Periods that were not disbursed on a previous Payment Date or retained in the Collection Account for subsequent reinvestment pursuant to Section 2.12(c).

(h) Each scheduled payment receivable with respect to a Collateral Obligation is assumed to be received on the applicable due date, and each such scheduled payment is assumed to be immediately deposited in the Collection Account to earn interest at the Assumed Reinvestment Rate. All such funds deposited in the Collection Account are assumed to continue to earn interest until the date on which they are required to be available in the Collection Account for application, in accordance with the terms hereof, to payments of principal of or interest on the Funded Loans or other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement.

(i) For purposes of calculating all Concentration Limits and Transaction Concentration Requirements, as applicable, in both the numerator and the denominator of any component of the Concentration Limits or the Transaction Concentration Requirements, (i) Caa1 Obligations are treated as having a Principal Balance equal to the Caa1 Obligation Balance, (ii) Discount Obligations are treated as having a Principal Balance equal to the Discount Obligation Balance and (iii) Defaulted Obligations are treated as having a Principal Balance equal to zero.

(j) Except where expressly referenced herein for inclusion in such calculations, Defaulted Obligations are not included in the calculation of the Collateral Quality Test.

(k) If withholding tax is imposed on any Collateral held by a Blocker Subsidiary, the calculations of the Minimum Weighted Average Spread Test and the Minimum Weighted Average Coupon Test, as applicable, will be made on a net basis after

taking into account such withholding, unless the Obligor is required to make “gross-up” payments to the Borrower or the Blocker Subsidiary that cover the full amount of any such withholding tax on an after-tax basis pursuant to the Underlying Instrument with respect thereto.

(l) For purposes of calculating the Coverage Tests, the Interest Diversion Ratio Test, the Advance Rate Test, the Collateral Quality Test, the Concentration Limits and Transaction Concentration Requirements, capitalized or deferred interest (and any other interest that is not paid in cash) on Collateral Obligations is excluded.

For purposes of calculating compliance with any test or other component of the Eligibility Criteria (A) in connection with each Funded Loan, (i) except as provided in sub-clause (ii) below, the settlement date (and not the trade date) with respect to any acquisition or disposition of a Collateral Obligation or Permitted Investment will be used to determine whether and when such acquisition or disposition has occurred and (ii) each unsettled Collateral Obligation identified by the Collateral Manager for acquisition with the proceeds of (1) such Funded Loan (or any other Funded Loan already provided by the relevant Lenders to the Borrower), in each case as specified in the related Funding Notice, (2) Principal Collections representing Sale Proceeds and principal repayments with respect to Collateral Obligations, in each case which are reasonably expected by the Collateral Manager to be received by the Borrower on or prior to the Funding Date related to such Funded Loan or (3) a Capital Contribution delivered in Cash to the Collateral Custodian for inclusion in the Collateral by the Member will, in each case, be treated as if it had been acquired by the Borrower as of the related trade date (and, to avoid duplication, any Cash portion of any such Funded Loan or Capital Contribution allocable to the acquisition of such unsettled Collateral Obligation will be treated as if it had been used to acquire such Collateral Obligation as of the relevant trade date) and (B) in connection with each acquisition of a Collateral Obligation which, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, was permitted to be substituted for another unsettled Collateral Obligation identified by the Collateral Manager for acquisition with the proceeds of a Funded Loan in the related Funding Notice, using the settlement date (and not the trade date) with respect to such acquisition.

(n) For purposes of calculating the Weighted Average Spread or Weighted Average Coupon, (i) a Collateral Obligation that is a Step Down Loan is treated as having the lowest per annum interest rate or spread over the applicable index or benchmark rate over the remaining maturity of such Collateral Obligation and (ii) a Collateral Obligation that is a Step

Up Loan is treated as having the then current per annum interest rate or spread over the applicable index or benchmark rate.

(o) Any rating by Moody’s of any Collateral Obligation shall mean the CFR to the greatest extent possible and unless otherwise specifically stated.

(p) Any direction or Borrower Order required hereunder relating to the purchase, acquisition, sale, disposition or other transfer of Collateral may be in the form of a trade ticket, confirmation of trade, instruction to post or to commit to the trade or similar instrument or document or other written instruction (including by email or other electronic communication or file transfer protocol) from the Collateral Manager on which the Collateral Custodian may rely.

Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to it and resulting from the Funded Loans made by such Lender to the Borrower, from time to time, including the dates thereof and amounts of principal and interest thereon and paid to it, from time to time hereunder; provided that the failure of any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein will not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Funded Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any such recordation, absent manifest error, will constitute prima facie evidence of the Outstanding Funded Loans owing to such Lender hereunder; provided further that, in the event of any conflict between any Lender’s recordations and the Register, the Register will control in the absence of manifest error.

(ii) During the Aggregation Period, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) may, at its option and from time to time, request the Lenders to make loans of funds (each, a “Funded Loan”) in accordance with Section 2.2.

(iii) Following the receipt of a Funding Notice during the Aggregation Period, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and the satisfaction or waiver of the requirements of Section 2.12(d) and Sections 3.1 and 3.2, as applicable, the Lenders shall fund each Funded Loan in accordance with the terms hereof.

(iv) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Lender treat, and by its execution of this Agreement or a Joinder Supplement, each Lender agrees to treat, its Funded Loans and any Revolving Notes as indebtedness for purposes of United States federal and state income tax or state franchise tax to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and shall file its tax returns or reports in a manner consistent with such treatment.

(v) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the parties intend that Funded Loans made hereunder will constitute “loans” and not “securities” for purposes of Section 8-102(15) of the UCC.

Section 2.2 Procedures for Funded Loans.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1, (i) the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) may request a Funded Loan from the Lenders by delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian a Funding Notice and (ii) all or a portion of each Funded Loan may be (A) used to finance the acquisition of Collateral Obligations, subject to the satisfaction of the Eligibility Criteria in connection with such Funded Loan, and/or (B) deposited into the Principal Collection Account; provided that any portion of a Funded Loan that is deposited into the Principal Collection Account must be (i) invested in Additional Collateral Obligations or (ii) otherwise applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) With respect to each Funded Loan, on a Business Day occurring no later than two Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Collateral Custodian a duly completed Funding Notice (including a duly completed Eligibility Criteria Compliance Certificate as of such proposed Funding Date, certifying as to compliance with the Eligibility Criteria in connection with such Funded Loan and giving pro forma effect to the Funded Loan and the use of proceeds thereof), and which must (i) specify the desired amount of such Funded Loan, which amount must be at least equal to $1,000,000 (or, in the case of any Funded Loan to be applied to fund a draw under any Delayed Draw Loan, such lesser amount as may be requested to fund such draw or such lesser amount then comprising the unfunded Maximum Permitted Funded Amount) and will be allocated to each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, (ii) specify the proposed Funding Date, (iii) specify the Collateral Obligations proposed to be acquired with such Funded Loan as well as the Obligor, the rating from the Rating Agency, the outstanding principal balance and Purchase Price of each such Collateral Obligation to be acquired, (iv) include a representation that the Eligibility Criteria and all other conditions precedent for such Funded Loan described in Section 2.12(d) and Sections 3.1 and 3.2, as applicable, have been satisfied or waived in accordance with Section 12.1(b), (v) with respect to any Delayed Draw Loan, specify the Unfunded Exposure Amount thereof and the draw request made by the applicable Obligor and (vi) specify the amount of such Funded Loan, if any, that is requested to be wired to the Principal Collection Account. Each Funding Notice is irrevocable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Funding Notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Collateral Custodian after 3:00 p.m. on any day, such Funding Notice will be deemed to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Collateral Custodian at 9:00 a.m. on the next succeeding Business Day.

(c) On each proposed Funding Date, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1 and upon satisfaction or waiver of the Eligibility Criteria in connection with the related Funded Loan and the other applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.12(d) and Sections 3.1 and 3.2, as applicable, each Lender shall make available to the Borrower in same day funds, by wire transfer to the account designated by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) in the related Funding Notice, an amount equal to the lowest of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of (i) the amount requested by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) for such Funded Loan, (ii) the aggregate unused Maximum Permitted Funded Amount of such Lender then in effect and (iii) the maximum amount that, after taking into account the making of such Funded Loan, could be advanced to the Borrower hereunder without causing the Eligibility Criteria to not be satisfied on the related Funding Date. The parties hereto intend the Funded Loans made hereunder to be a “loan” and not a “security” for purposes of Section 8-102(15) of the UCC and for all other purposes.

(d) On each Funding Date, the obligation of each Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of each Funded Loan is several from that of each other Lender, and the failure of any Lender to fund such amount will not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder.

(e) If the Collateral Custodian receives all the Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares of a Funded Loan (as identified in the related Funding Notice) prior to 1:00 p.m. on the proposed Funding Date, the Collateral Custodian shall fund such Funded Loan the same Business Day. If the Collateral Custodian receives all the Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares of a Funded Loan (as identified in the related Funding Notice), as applicable, after 1:00 p.m. on the proposed Funding Date or on a day that is not a Business Day, the Collateral Custodian shall fund such Funded Loan on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 2.3 Principal Prepayments; Optional Termination; Early Termination; Special Redemption.

(a) The Borrower is entitled, at its option or at the option of the Collateral Manager, to reduce the Outstanding Funded Loans in accordance with Section 2.3(b) or to direct an Optional Termination in accordance with Section 2.3(c). Except in connection with an Optional Termination, no prepayment hereunder during the Aggregation Period will result in a permanent reduction or termination of the Maximum Permitted Funded Amounts.

(b) If the Borrower at any time elects to reduce the Outstanding Funded Loans (other than in connection with an Optional Termination), (i) the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) must give at least two Business Days’ prior written notice thereof in the form of Exhibit A-2 to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Rating Agency, the Member and the Collateral Custodian; provided that, subject to Section 2.10, same-day notice may be given with respect to any prepayment made to (x) cure a failure of either Coverage Test, the Interest Diversion Ratio Test, the Market Value Ratio Test, the Market Value Ratio Supplemental Margin Test or the Advance Rate Test or (y) maintain the Required Equity Investment; and (ii) any reduction of Outstanding Funded Loans must be in a minimum amount of the lesser of $1,000,000 or the amount of the Outstanding Funded Loans, unless such reduction is to (A) cure a failure of either Coverage

Test, the Interest Diversion Ratio Test, the Market Value Ratio Test, the Market Value Ratio Supplemental Margin Test or the Advance Rate Test or (B) maintain the Required Equity Investment; provided that, in either of case (ii)(A) or (ii)(B), no minimum reduction amount will apply. In connection with any such reduction of Outstanding Funded Loans, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) shall deliver (x) funds to the Collateral Custodian or (y) written instructions to the Collateral Custodian to withdraw funds from the Principal Collection Account (so long as sufficient funds are reasonably expected to exist on the next succeeding Payment Date to pay Administrative Expenses up to the relevant cap amount in accordance with Section 2.7 and Section 2.8 hereof), in each case for distribution to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of such prepayment plus any Breakage Costs actually incurred by such Lender in connection with such prepayment. The principal amount of any Funded Loan prepaid during the Aggregation Period pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) may be re-borrowed subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(c) (i) At its sole option, the Collateral Manager may set an Optional Termination Date by written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Collateral Custodian at least nine days prior to such proposed Optional Termination Date (or solely in the case of an Optional Termination Date in respect of a Refinancing, at least three Business Days prior to such proposed Optional Termination Date). In the event the Collateral Manager provides notice of an Optional Termination Date and does not revoke such notice in accordance with this Section 2.3(c)(i), on the Optional Termination Date, (A) all remaining Maximum Permitted Funded Amounts will be irrevocably reduced to zero and (B) the Borrower will pay or cause to be paid in full the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) and all other fees, expenses and amounts payable hereunder. All payments made by the Borrower on the Optional Termination Date will be applied in accordance with the Sequential Pay Priority. Any direction of Optional Termination delivered pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) may be revoked by written notice from the Collateral Manager to the Administrative Agent not later than the earlier to occur of (1) one Business Day prior to the proposed Optional Termination Date and (2) the date that the Borrower sells any Collateral Obligation in connection with such Optional Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(ii).

(ii) In connection with an Optional Termination or a Specified Call Date, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) may (but shall not be required to) direct the sale of all or part of the Collateral Obligations and Permitted Investments in order to effect the payments to be made on such Optional Termination Date or Specified Call Date, as applicable, including in each case the repayment in full of all Outstanding Funded Loans.

(iii) Prior to selling any Collateral Obligation or Permitted Investments pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(ii) in connection with an Optional Termination or a Specified Call Date, the Collateral Manager shall certify to the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent in an Officer’s Certificate, upon which the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely, that in the Collateral Manager’s reasonable business judgment, on or before the Optional Termination Date, the Borrower is reasonably expected to receive Cash in an amount equal to or greater than the Total

Termination Amount (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) payable hereunder.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Optional Termination (other than an Optional Termination in connection with a Permitted Transfer) may occur hereunder unless, at least five Business Days prior to the scheduled Optional Termination Date, the Collateral Manager has furnished to the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent evidence, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent (which may be in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of the Collateral Manager), that the Borrower has entered into a binding agreement or agreements to sell (directly or by participation or other arrangement), not later than the Business Day immediately preceding such Optional Termination in immediately available funds, all or part of the Collateral at a purchase price at least sufficient, together with the Permitted Investments maturing, redeemable or putable to the obligor thereof at par on or prior to the scheduled Optional Termination Date, to pay the Total Termination Amount in full.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the right to direct an Optional Termination will not exist if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if the Termination Date has been declared or deemed to have occurred pursuant to Section 9.2(a).

(d) The Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion, but with the prior written consent of 100.00% of the Lenders) may, by irrevocable written notice to each Lender, the Collateral Custodian, the Member, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager given on any Early Termination Notification Date (such notice, “Notice of Early Termination”), direct the repayment in full of all Outstanding Funded Loans and cause the occurrence of the Termination Date on and effective as of the related Specified Call Date.

(e) Unless sooner prepaid pursuant to the terms hereof, the Outstanding Funded Loans must be repaid in full on (i) the Termination Date or (ii) such later date (on or prior to the Facility Maturity Date) as agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (acting with the consent of 100% of the Lenders). The Borrower shall promptly notify the Rating Agency of (i) the occurrence of the Termination Date and (ii) the repayment of the Outstanding Funded Loans in full.

(f) If the Outstanding Funded Loans are repaid at any time as a result of an Optional Termination (other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer), then the Borrower shall pay the Facility Termination Fee to Royal Bank (or its assignees) in accordance with the Sequential Pay Priority.

(g) If (and only if) Xxxxx’x is the Rating Agency and has provided an Initial Rating, in connection with the Effective Date rating confirmation procedure, if the Collateral Manager notifies the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian that a redemption is required pursuant to Section 2.16 in order to obtain from Moody’s its written confirmation of its Initial Rating, if any (in each case, a “Special Redemption”), principal payments on the Outstanding Funded Loans must be made in accordance with the Priority of

Payments on the applicable Payment Date; provided that such confirmation from Moody’s will not be required if the Borrower or the Collateral Manager has provided a Passing Report to Moody’s. On each Payment Date following the Collection Period in which such notice is given (a “Special Redemption Date”), the amount in the Collection Account representing (1) Principal Collections which the Collateral Manager has determined cannot be reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations or (2) Interest Collections and Principal Collections available in accordance with the Priority of Payments, must, in each case, be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments until the Borrower obtains such confirmation of the Initial Rating, if any (such amount, a “Special Redemption Amount”). Notice of payments pursuant to this Section 2.3(g) shall be given promptly by the Collateral Custodian (following receipt of notice from the Collateral Manager) by facsimile, email transmission or first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Member and Moody’s.

Section 2.4 Determination of Interest.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall calculate accrued and unpaid Interest for each Accrual Period to be paid by the Borrower on each Payment Date, and shall advise the Collateral Custodian, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager by delivery of a written calculation thereof no later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day prior to such Payment Date.

(b) No provision of this Agreement requires the payment or permits the collection of Interest at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law.

(c) No Interest will be considered paid by any Distribution if at any time such Distribution is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason.

Section 2.5 Notations on Revolving Notes. Each Lender is authorized to enter on a schedule attached to any Revolving Note issued to such Lender, as applicable, a notation (which may be computer generated) or to otherwise record in its internal books and records or computer system with respect to each Funded Loan from such Lender of (a) the date and principal amount thereof and (b) each payment and prepayment of principal thereof. Any such recordation, absent manifest error, constitutes prima facie evidence of the Outstanding Funded Loans owing to such Lender under this Agreement; provided that, in the event of any conflict between any Lender’s recordations and the Register, the Register will control absent manifest error. The failure of any Lender to make any notation on the schedule attached to its Revolving Note will not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Outstanding Funded Loans owing to such Lender in accordance with the terms set forth herein.

Section 2.6 Cures of Failures to Satisfy the Coverage Tests, the Interest Diversion Ratio Test, the Market Value Ratio Test, the Market Value Ratio Supplemental Margin Test or the Advance Rate Test or to Maintain the Required Equity Investment. Any failure to satisfy either Coverage Test, the Interest Diversion Ratio Test, the Market Value Ratio Test, the Market Value Ratio Supplemental Margin Test or the Advance Rate Test or to maintain the Required Equity Investment may be cured by the Borrower or any Member on any Business Day by taking or causing to be taken one or more of the following actions:

(a) depositing Cash into the Principal Collection Account;

(b) repaying the Outstanding Funded Loans in accordance with Section 2.3(b); or

(c) delivering to the Collateral Custodian (as a Capital Contribution to the Borrower) (i) additional Cash as Collateral and/or (ii) Collateral Obligations in accordance with the requirements set forth in the definition of “Capital Contribution” in Section 1.1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower or any Member may cure any failure to satisfy either Coverage Test, the Interest Diversion Ratio Test, the Market Value Ratio Test, the Market Value Ratio Supplemental Margin Test or the Advance Rate Test or to maintain the Required Equity Investment by any combination of the actions set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 2.6 (or by any other action, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).

Section 2.7 Settlement Procedures.

The Collateral Custodian shall provide a statement as to the amount of Principal Collections and Interest Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Account and the Interest Collection Account, respectively, upon the reasonable written request of the Collateral Manager. Each Account must be established and maintained with a Qualified Institution; provided that, if such institution’s ratings fall so that it is no longer a Qualified Institution, the assets held in such Account must be moved to another institution that is a Qualified Institution within 30 calendar days. Any institution holding Accounts must have a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$200,000,000.

(b) Reserved.

(c) Investment of Funds. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent there are uninvested amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or the Unfunded Exposure Account (but not the Collateral Account), such amounts may be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) (which may be pursuant to standing instructions); provided that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any such uninvested amounts on deposit in the Collection Account or the Unfunded Exposure Account may be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Administrative Agent (which may be pursuant to standing instructions). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all Permitted Investments on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account must mature on the next succeeding Business Day. All earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on such invested amounts must be retained or deposited into the Collection Account or the Unfunded Exposure Account, as applicable, and, with respect to the Collection Account, must be applied on each Payment Date pursuant to the Priority of Payments.

(d) Excluded Amounts. With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Collateral Manager may direct the Collateral Custodian to withdraw any amounts credited thereto constituting Excluded Amounts from the Collection Account and pay such amount to the Person entitled thereto, if the Collateral Manager has, prior to such withdrawal, delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that, in the case of amounts payable to the holder of a Sold Participation in accordance with its terms, the Collateral Custodian will, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, remit such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto without the need to obtain such prior consent or deliver a report, and provide written notice of such payment to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Manager.

(e) Unfunded Exposure Account.

(i) Upon the purchase or acquisition of any Delayed Draw Loan identified by written notice to the Collateral Custodian, funds in an amount equal to the Unfunded Exposure Amount (as specified in writing to the Collateral Custodian) of such Collateral Obligation must be withdrawn from the Principal Collection Account and deposited into the Unfunded Exposure Account.

(ii) The Borrower shall at all times maintain sufficient funds on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account such that the sum of the amount of funds on deposit therein is equal to at least the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount. In the event of any shortfall in the Unfunded Exposure Account, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) may direct the Collateral Custodian to, and the Collateral Custodian thereafter shall, transfer funds in an amount equal to such shortfall from the Principal Collection Account to the Unfunded Exposure Account.

(iii) Amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account may be withdrawn by the Collateral Custodian as directed by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) (A) pursuant to Section 2.9(e)(iv) to fund any draw requests by the relevant Obligors under a Delayed Draw Loan or (B) if, after giving effect to such withdrawal, the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account exceeds the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount, to make a deposit into the Principal Collection Account.

(iv) Any draw request made by an Obligor under a Delayed Draw Loan, along with wiring instructions for such Obligor, must be forwarded by the Collateral Manager (on the Borrower’s behalf) to the Collateral Custodian (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) along with an instruction to the Collateral Custodian to withdraw the applicable amount from the Unfunded Exposure Account.

All computations of interest and other fees hereunder will be made on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) Whenever any payment hereunder is stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment will be due on the next succeeding Business Day, and such additional time will be included in the computation of Interest or any fees payable hereunder, as the case may be.

Section 2.11 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change following the Closing Date (including any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation, administration or application following the Closing Date of any Applicable Law (including any law or regulation resulting in any interest payments paid by the Borrower to any Lender under this Agreement being subject to any Tax (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (z) 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 (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request following the Closing Date from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there is any increase in the cost to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Affiliate, participant, successor or permitted assign thereof (each, an “Affected Party”) of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Funded Loan under this Agreement (or any reduction of the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest,

fee, compensation or otherwise) to any Affected Party hereunder), as the case may be, or there is any reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Borrower shall, as applicable, on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments, after written demand by the Administrative Agent (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand), pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Affected Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such increased costs (such amounts, “Increased Costs”); provided, however, that (1) such Increased Costs shall be due and payable only if such Affected Party is charging similarly situated Borrowers for similar costs, damages, losses or expenses at such time and (2) a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such Applicable Law as in effect on the Closing Date or the later date on which it becomes a Lender, as the case may be, and, provided, further, that the Administrative Agent or any such Lender shall be required to provide written notice of any of the foregoing events not later than 270 days after knowledge thereof, provided that to the extent any such increased costs are applied retroactively to any Lender, such 270-day period shall be extended to include any such period of retroactive effect.

(b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change following the Closing Date in or in the interpretation, administration or application of any law, guideline, rule or regulation, directive or request or (ii) the compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request following the Closing Date, from any central bank, any Governmental Authority or agency, including compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or any related document or arising in connection herewith or therewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy), by an amount reasonably determined by such Affected Party to be material, then, the Borrower shall, as applicable, on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments, after written demand by the Administrative Agent (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand) pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Affected Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, any Increased Cost caused by regulatory capital allocation adjustments due to FAS 166, 167 and subsequent statements and interpretations will constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Party may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 2.11.

(c) If as a result of any event or circumstance described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.11, any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Funded Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall, as applicable, on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Affected Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for any amounts payable or paid by it.

(d) In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.11, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods; provided that such averaging and attribution method does not result in an amount that exceeds the actual Increased Costs of such Affected Party. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.11, shall submit to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of such additional or Increased Costs, which certificate will be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all requests, rules, guidelines, regulations requirements and directives promulgated (i) by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority), the Committee of European Banking Supervisors or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III or similar capital requirements directive existing on the Closing Date and (ii) pursuant to the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act are deemed to have been introduced after the Closing Date, thereby constituting a change for which a claim pursuant to this Section 2.11 may be made by any Affected Party, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

(e) Blocker Subsidiaries. The Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) may effect the transfer to a Blocker Subsidiary of any Tax Ineligible

Obligation, any right to receive a Tax Ineligible Obligation, or any item of Collateral the ownership of which may result in the Borrower receiving a Tax Ineligible Obligation, prior to the receipt of such Tax Ineligible Obligation. Any such transfer to a Blocker Subsidiary is subject to the following conditions:

(i) The Borrower is not required to obtain confirmation of the ratings of the Funded Loans and/or Revolving Notes in connection with the incorporation of, or transfer of any security or obligation to, any Blocker Subsidiary; provided that (a) prior to the incorporation of any Blocker Subsidiary, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Borrower, provides written notice to the Rating Agency and the Collateral Custodian and (b) prior to the scheduled delivery to a Blocker Subsidiary of any security or obligation, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Borrower, provides written notice to the Rating Agency; and

(ii) the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) provides written notice of the creation of any Blocker Subsidiary and the identity and nature of the assets being transferred thereto to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian.

The Borrower is not required to continue to hold in a Blocker Subsidiary (and may instead hold directly) a Collateral Obligation, Permitted Investment or Equity Security if it receives written advice of Xxxxx & Overy LLP or Blank Rome LLP or written opinion of another nationally recognized counsel to the effect that the Borrower can transfer such asset from the Blocker Subsidiary to the Borrower and can hold such asset directly without causing the Borrower to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise realizing income subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis.

For financial accounting reporting purposes (including each Required Report prepared pursuant to this Agreement) and the Concentration Limits and Transaction Concentration Requirements (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not for tax purposes), the Borrower will be deemed to own a Collateral Obligation, Permitted Investment or Equity Security held by a Blocker Subsidiary rather than its interest in that Blocker Subsidiary.

(a) The Borrower may, by Borrower Order (upon which the Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely) delivered to the Collateral Custodian at least one Business Day prior to the settlement date for any Sale of any item of Collateral, certifying that the Sale of such item of Collateral is being made in accordance with, and complies with all applicable requirements of, Section 2.12(a), (b) and (d), (which certification will be deemed to have been provided upon delivery of a Borrower Order or trade confirmation in respect of such

sale) direct the Collateral Custodian to release or cause to be released such item of Collateral from the Lien of this Agreement and, upon receipt of such Borrower Order, the Collateral Custodian shall deliver any such item of Collateral, if in physical form, duly endorsed to the broker or purchaser designated in such Borrower Order or, if such item of Collateral is a Clearing Corporation Security, cause an appropriate transfer thereof to be made, in each case against receipt of the sales price therefor as specified in such Borrower Order; provided that the Collateral Custodian may deliver any such Possessory Collateral for examination in accordance with street delivery custom; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, and except in connection with the settlement of any sold Collateral Obligation for which the trade date has occurred, the Borrower shall not direct the Collateral Custodian to release any item of Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.13(a) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion).

(b) If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to the Priority of Payments, upon receipt of a Borrower Order the Collateral Custodian shall (i) with respect to any item of Collateral that is set for any mandatory call or redemption or payment in full, deliver and release, or cause to be released such item of Collateral from the Lien of this Agreement, such item of Collateral to the appropriate paying agent on or before the date set for such call, redemption or payment, in each case against receipt of the call or redemption price or payment in full thereof and (ii) provide notice thereof to the Collateral Manager and the Member.

(c) Upon receiving actual written notice of any offer or any request for a waiver, consent, amendment or other modification with respect to any Collateral Obligation, the Collateral Custodian on behalf of the Borrower shall promptly notify the Collateral Manager and the Member that such Collateral Obligation is subject to a tender offer, voluntary redemption, exchange offer, conversion or other similar action (an “Offer”) or such request. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (in which case, such right of direction will vest solely in the Administrative Agent), the Collateral Manager will, subject to Section 5.3, have the exclusive right to direct in writing (upon which direction the Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely) (i) the Collateral Custodian to accept or participate in or decline or refuse to participate in such Offer and, in the case of acceptance or participation, to release from the Lien of this Agreement such Collateral Obligation in accordance with the terms of the Offer against receipt of payment therefor or (ii) the Borrower or the Collateral Custodian to agree to or otherwise act with respect to such consent, waiver, amendment or modification. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Controlling Parties shall have the exclusive right to direct in writing (upon which the Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely) the Borrower, or if applicable, the Collateral Custodian to (i) accept or participate in or decline or refuse to participate in such Offer and, in the case of acceptance or participation, to release from the Lien of this Agreement such Collateral Obligation in accordance with the terms of the Offer against receipt of payment therefor or (ii) agree to or otherwise act with respect to such consent, waiver, amendment or modification.

(d) The Collateral Custodian shall deposit any proceeds received from the disposition of an item of Collateral in the applicable sub-account under the Collection

Account, unless simultaneously applied to the purchase of Additional Collateral Obligations or Permitted Investments in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.12 and Section 2.9(c).

Any item of Collateral or amounts that are released pursuant to Section 2.13(a), (b), (c) or (d) will be released from the Lien of this Agreement.

Section 2.14 Eligibility Criteria. On and after the date of the Initial Funded Loan, a Collateral Obligation is eligible for purchase by the Borrower and inclusion in the Collateral only if, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Collateral Manager delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian, the Eligibility Criteria are satisfied at the time such Collateral Obligation is purchased, after giving pro forma effect to such purchase.

Section 2.15 [Reserved].

Section 2.16 Effective Date; Purchase of Additional Collateral Obligations.

(a) If (and only if) Moody’s has provided an Initial Rating prior to the Determination Date in June, 2019 (the “Interim Date”), the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to purchase, on or before the Effective Date, Collateral Obligations such that the Target Facility Par Condition is satisfied. In addition, if (and only if) the Initial Rating has been provided by Moody’s prior to the Interim Date, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall prepare a written report, determined as of the Interim Date, setting forth the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Collateral Obligations, the Diversity Score, the Weighted Average Xxxxx’x Rating Factor, the Weighted Average Spread and the Weighted Average Moody’s Recovery Rate. Such written report must be delivered to the Collateral Custodian and Moody’s within ten Business Days following the Interim Date; provided that no such report will be required if the Initial Rating has not been provided prior to the Interim Date. If Moody’s has provided an Initial Rating prior to the Interim Date, the Borrower shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the following measures as of the Interim Date: (i) the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Collateral Obligations is greater than or equal to $40,000,000, (ii) the Diversity Score is greater than or equal to 0, (iii) the Weighted Average Xxxxx’x Rating Factor is less than or equal to 2800, (iv) the Weighted Average Spread is greater than or equal to 3.00% and (v) the Weighted Average Moody’s Recovery Rate greater than or equal to 45.00%.

(b) Unless clause (c) below is applicable, and only if Moody’s has provided an Initial Rating at any time prior to the Effective Date, within 30 Business Days after the Effective Date, the Borrower shall provide, or cause the Collateral Manager to provide the following documents: (i) to Moody’s, a report prepared by the Collateral Administrator in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, the Collateral Administration Agreement identifying the Collateral Obligations and, with respect to each Collateral Obligation, specifying (A) its identification number, LIBOR floor (if any) and classification as a First Lien Loan (or a Participation Interest therein), Second Lien Loan (or a Participation Interest therein), Senior Unsecured Loan (or a Participation Interest therein) or Subordinated Loan (or a Participation Interest therein), (B) its Principal Balance, (C) its Xxxxx’x Market Value, (D) its Market Value and (E) the balance of each Account and (ii) to the Collateral

Custodian, the Collateral Manager and Moody’s, a report (prepared by the Collateral Administrator in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, the Collateral Administration Agreement) stating the following information (the “Effective Date Report”): (1) the Obligor, Principal Balance, coupon/spread, stated maturity, Moody’s Default Probability Rating, Moody’s Industry Classification Group and country of domicile with respect to each Collateral Obligation as of the Effective Date, and substantially similar information provided by the Borrower with respect to every other asset included in the Collateral (to the extent such asset is a security or a Loan), by reference to such sources specified therein, and (2) as of the Effective Date, the level of compliance with, and satisfaction or non-satisfaction of, (A) the Target Facility Par Condition, (B) each Coverage Test, (C) the Concentration Limits, (D) the Transaction Concentration Requirements, (E) the Collateral Quality Test, (F) the Advance Rate Test, (G) the Required Equity Investment and (H) the Market Value Ratio Test and (I) the Market Value Ratio Supplemental Margin Test (the tests reflected in the foregoing clauses (A) through (I) above, the “Effective Date Tests”). In connection with the Collateral Administrator’s preparation of the Effective Date Report, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) shall provide to the Collateral Administrator (upon its execution of an acknowledgment letter) an Accountants’ Report that recalculates the information set forth in the Effective Date Report (such Accountants’ Report, the “Effective Date Accountants’ Report”). Upon receipt of the Effective Date Report, the Collateral Custodian and the Collateral Manager shall each compare the information contained in such Effective Date Report to the information contained in their respective records with respect to the Collateral and shall, within three Business Days after receipt of such Effective Date Report, notify such other party and the Borrower, the Collateral Administrator and Moody’s if the information contained in the Effective Date Report does not conform to the information maintained by the Collateral Custodian or the Collateral Manager, as the case may be. If any discrepancy exists, the Collateral Custodian and the Borrower, or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower, shall attempt to resolve the discrepancy. If such discrepancy cannot be resolved within five Business Days after the delivery of such a notice of discrepancy, the Collateral Manager shall request that the Independent accountants selected by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1(g) perform agreed-upon procedures on the Effective Date Report and the Collateral Manager’s and Collateral Custodian’s records to determine the cause of such discrepancy. If such procedures reveal an error in the Effective Date Report or the Collateral Manager’s or Collateral Custodian’s records, the Effective Date Report or the Collateral Manager’s or Collateral Custodian’s records will be revised accordingly and notice of any error in the Effective Date Report shall be sent as soon as practicable by the Borrower to all recipients of such report. For the avoidance of doubt, the Effective Date Report shall not include or refer to the Effective Date Accountants’ Report.

(c) If Moody’s has provided an Initial Rating, and if (1) the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, as the case may be, has not provided to Moody’s both (A) an Effective Date Report that also confirms satisfaction of or compliance with the Target Facility Par Condition, each Coverage Test, the Concentration Limits, the Transaction Concentration Requirements and the Collateral Quality Test and (B) a certificate the “Effective Date Borrower Certificate” and together with the Effective Date report described in clause (A) above, a “Passing Report”) that (i) indicates the Borrower has received an Accountants’ Report that recalculates information set forth on the Effective Date Report, (ii) certifies, based on the information in such Accountants’ Report and the Effective Date

Report, that the information in the Effective Date Report is accurate in all material respects and (iii) attributes such conclusions from the foregoing review to the Borrower prior to the date 30 Business Days after the Effective Date or (2) the Rating Condition has not been satisfied within 30 Business Days following the Effective Date, then, if by the Determination Date immediately preceding the first Payment Date to occur more than 30 Business Days after the Effective Date, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) has not provided a Passing Report to Moody’s or satisfied the Rating Condition, each as described in the preceding clauses (1) and (2) of this paragraph, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) shall instruct the Collateral Custodian to transfer amounts from the Interest Collection Account to the Principal Collection Account and may, prior to the first Payment Date to occur more than 30 Business Days after the Effective Date, purchase additional Collateral Obligations in an amount sufficient to enable the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) to (i) provide a Passing Report to Moody’s or (ii) satisfy the Rating Condition; provided that, in lieu of complying with this Section 2.16(c), the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) may take such action, including a Special Redemption and/or transferring amounts from the Interest Collection Account to the Principal Collection Account as Principal Collections (for use in a Special Redemption), sufficient to enable the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) to (1) provide to Moody’s a Passing Report or (2) satisfy the Rating Condition; provided, further, that amounts may not be transferred from the Interest Collection Account to the Principal Collection Account if, after giving effect to such transfer, such transfer would result in a shortfall of interest with respect to the Funded Loans.

Section 2.17 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law any Other Taxes.

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

Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.15(c) relating to the maintenance of a participant register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.17(c).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to any governmental authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such governmental authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation as is reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower to achieve compliance with the Tax Account Reporting Rules. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (f)(iii) of this Section 2.17) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under the Tax Account Reporting Rules, to comply with any applicable reporting obligations or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment, if any) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or

submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Each Lender further agrees that such information and documentation may be provided to the IRS.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “United States Person”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Lender that is not United States Person (a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

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

equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 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 2.17(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) 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 never been paid. This Section 2.17(g) 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.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

Section 2.18 Mitigation Obligations.

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder 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 (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, this grant of power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest and will survive and be unaffected by a subsequent dissolution or bankruptcy of the Borrower; provided that this grant of power of attorney will

Section 6.5 Additional Activities of the Collateral Manager; Consent to Conflicts. Nothing herein prevents the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or from rendering services of any kind to the Borrower and its Affiliates, the Collateral Custodian, the Lenders or any other Person to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates may engage in any other business and may furnish investment management and advisory services to others, including Persons that may have investment policies similar to those followed by the Collateral Manager with respect to the Borrower, and who may own securities and other instruments of the same class, or which are of the same type, as the Collateral Obligations or other securities issued by Eligible Obligors. The Collateral Manager and its Affiliates are free, in their sole discretion, to make recommendations to others or effect transactions on behalf of themselves or for others, which transactions may be the same as or different from those effected with respect to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Borrower acknowledges and consents to various potential and actual conflicts of interest that may exist with respect to the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates; provided that nothing in this Section 6.5 is to be construed as altering the express duties of the Collateral Manager as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6.6 Standard of Care. The Collateral Manager shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, perform its obligations hereunder (including in respect of any exercise of discretion) (a) with reasonable care using a degree of skill and attention no less than that which the Collateral Manager exercises with respect to comparable assets and/or portfolios that it manages for itself and others having similar investment objectives and restrictions and (b) in a manner that is at least consistent with the practices and procedures followed by comparable institutional managers of national standing with respect to assets of the nature and character of the Collateral Obligations in the Collateral. To the extent not inconsistent with the foregoing, the Collateral Manager shall follow its customary standards, policies and procedures in performing its duties hereunder. The Collateral Manager shall comply with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement affecting the functions and duties that have been delegated to it hereunder.

Section 6.7 Covenants of the Collateral Manager.

(a) The Collateral Manager shall not cause the Borrower to (i) hold itself out as willing to originate loans or enter into derivative contracts with customers or (ii) make a market in loans.

(b) The Collateral Manager shall not cause the Borrower to take or omit to take any action if such action or inaction, as the case may be, would (i) violate any Applicable Law that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or would not be permitted under the Borrower’s Governing Documents, (ii) result in an Event of Default, (iii) require the registration of the Borrower or the pool of Collateral as an

115

“investment company” under the 1940 Act or (iv) violate the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. In satisfying its obligations under this Agreement, the Collateral Manager will be entitled to rely on the written advice of counsel pursuant to Section 6.8(b).

(c) The Collateral Manager shall not change the conduct of its business or the location from which it performs its duties under this Agreement from the State of New York if such change in location would cause material adverse Tax consequences to the Borrower.

(d) The Collateral Manager shall maintain in full force and effect all consents of any Governmental Authority that it is required to obtain in relation to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such material consents that become necessary in the future.

(e) The Collateral Manager shall comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement, except to the extent that a failure to so comply would not materially impair its ability to perform its duties under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(f) Promptly (but in any event within five Business Days) following the Collateral Manager’s knowledge or receipt of notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, the Collateral Manager shall provide the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Member and the Collateral Custodian with written notice of such occurrence. Such notice must include a written statement of an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager setting forth the details (to the extent known by the Collateral Manager) of such event and the action, if any, that the Collateral Manager proposes to take to remedy such Default or Event of Default.

(g) Promptly (but in any event within five Business Days) following the Collateral Manager’s knowledge or receipt of notice of the occurrence of any event constituting Cause, the Collateral Manager shall provide the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Member and the Collateral Custodian with written notice of such occurrence. Such notice must include a written statement of an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager setting forth the details (to the extent known by the Collateral Manager) of such event and the action, if any, that the Collateral Manager proposes to remedy such Cause.

(h) Promptly (but in any event within five Business Days) following the Collateral Manager’s knowledge or receipt of notice that any representation, warranty or certification previously made by the Collateral Manager is determined to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect as of the date such representation, warranty or certification was made, the Collateral Manager shall provide the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Member and the Collateral Custodian with written notice thereof.

(i) The Collateral Manager shall (A) cause any purchase or Sale of any Collateral to be effected on terms reasonably equivalent to an arm’s-length basis. If such

116

purchase or Sale is between the Borrower and any Related Party, the Collateral Manager shall cause such transaction to be (i) on economic and other material terms and conditions no less advantageous than would have governed such transaction were it negotiated on an arm’s-length basis with a Person that is not a Related Party, (ii) conducted in accordance with all Applicable Laws and (iii) if the proceeds from any such Sale would be less than the product of (x) the Purchase Price of such Collateral multiplied by (y) the outstanding principal balance of such Collateral, effected only upon receipt of written consent from the Administrative Agent and the Member and (B) not permit the Borrower to acquire any Collateral Obligations from TP Flexible Income Fund, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof, except pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Purchase and Contribution Agreement. The Collateral Manager and its Affiliates also may execute cross transactions and agency cross transactions (collectively, “Cross Transactions”) for the Borrower’s account in accordance with the Collateral Manager’s policies and the Advisers Act. Cross Transactions include inter-account transactions in which the Collateral Manager effects transactions for the Borrower’s account and other accounts managed by the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates. The Collateral Manager believes such Cross Transactions may enable it to purchase or sell a block of Loans for the Borrower’s account at a set price, which could avoid unfavorable price movements created by entering the market with such purchase or sell order. The Collateral Manager believes that Cross Transactions may provide meaningful benefits for its clients. Cross Transactions also include transactions where the Collateral Manager or an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager acts as broker for both the Borrower and the counterparty to the transaction. In such a Cross Transaction, the Collateral Manager may have conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities, and the Collateral Manager, or any of its Affiliates, may receive commissions from both parties to such a transaction. The Borrower authorizes the Collateral Manager to execute Cross Transactions for the Borrower’s account, and the Borrower understands that such authorization is terminable at the Borrower’s option, without penalty, effective upon receipt by the Collateral Manager of written notice from the Borrower. If any transaction described in this paragraph is subject to the disclosure and consent requirements of Section 206(3) of the Advisers Act, such requirements are satisfied with respect to the Borrower and all securityholders thereof if disclosure is given to and consent obtained from the Borrower’s board of directors.

(j) The Collateral Manager shall maintain appropriate books of account and records relating to services performed hereunder, and such books of account and records must be accessible for inspection by a representative of the Administrative Agent or the Member at a mutually agreed time during normal business hours upon not less than five Business Days’ prior notice.

(k) The Collateral Manager shall promptly furnish to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Member such other information, documents, records or reports in its possession and control regarding the Collateral (including, without limitation in the case of each Obligor with respect to a Collateral Obligation, financial information (including any “Management Discussion and Analysis” provided by such Obligor), and other information as provided by such Obligor with respect to the applicable Underlying Instruments) or the condition or operations, financial or otherwise, of the Collateral Manager as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request in order to protect the interests of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties.

117

(l) Except to the extent related to any transaction permitted under this Agreement, the Collateral Manager shall not, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, consent to the Collateral Custodian moving any Certificated Securities or Instruments from the Collateral Custodian’s Corporate Trust Office, unless the Collateral Manager has given at least 30 days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Member and has authorized the Administrative Agent to take all actions required under the UCC of each relevant jurisdiction in order to continue the first priority perfected security interest of the Collateral Custodian for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Collateral.

(m) The Collateral Manager acknowledges and agrees (and each Collateral Manager Person is deemed to agree) that the obligations of the Borrower hereunder to the Collateral Manager will be solely the corporate obligations of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager has no recourse to any Affiliate of the Borrower or any other Person (including any of the shareholders, partners, directors, employees, agents, attorneys or advisors of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) with respect to any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, indemnities or other obligations arising in connection with any of transactions contemplated hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Collateral Manager’s recourse for the obligations of the Borrower is limited to the Collateral as provided herein, and, upon the exhaustion of such Collateral, all obligations of and all claims against the Borrower arising from this Agreement or any transactions contemplated hereby will be extinguished and will not thereafter revive. The provisions of this paragraph will survive termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

(n) The Collateral Manager agrees that the payment of all amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement will be due and payable only in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(o) The Collateral Manager shall provide to the Administrative Agent, on each Determination Date immediately preceding a Payment Date, a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager certifying: (a) that each AUM Test is satisfied (including to the extent it is deemed satisfied) as of such Determination Date and has been satisfied (including to the extent it is deemed satisfied) at all times since the last such certification pursuant to this Section 6.7(o), and (b) as to the amount of AUM as of such Determination Date.

Section 6.8 Liability of the Collateral Manager.

(a) Except as otherwise required by Applicable Law, the Collateral Manager and any of its Affiliates, employees, shareholders, members, partners, assigns, representatives or agents (each such individual or entity, a “Collateral Manager Person”) will not be liable to the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person for any Indemnified Amounts incurred by reason of any act or omission or alleged act or omission performed or not performed by such Collateral Manager Person, or for any decrease in the value of the Collateral or any other losses suffered by any party; provided, however, that the Collateral Manager will be liable for any Indemnified Amounts that arise by reason of (i) any act or omission constituting bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence by any Collateral Manager Person in the performance of, or reckless

118

disregard of, the Collateral Manager’s duties hereunder or (ii) any breach of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Collateral Manager hereunder (each, a “Collateral Manager Breach”).

(b) The Collateral Manager may rely in good faith upon, and will incur no obligation for any Indemnified Amounts for relying upon, (i) any authoritative source customarily used by firms performing services similar to those services provided by the Collateral Manager under this Agreement and (ii) the advice of nationally recognized counsel, accountants or other advisors as the Collateral Manager determines reasonably appropriate in connection with the services it is providing hereunder.

(c) In no event will the Collateral Manager be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if the Collateral Manager has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought. The Collateral Manager will have no liability for any Secured Party failing to follow its advice or recommendations.

Section 6.9 Indemnification.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Collateral Manager Person shall be held harmless and shall be indemnified by the Borrower for any Indemnified Amounts suffered by virtue of any acts or omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of the activities of such Collateral Manager Person in the performance of the Collateral Manager’s obligations hereunder or as a result of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Borrower’s ownership interest in any portion of the Collateral, except to the extent any such Indemnified Amount arises out of or results from a Collateral Manager Breach by such Collateral Manager Person.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any indemnification provided for in this Section 6.9(a) will be payable pursuant to the Priority of Payments.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Secured Parties and each of their respective Affiliates, shareholders, assigns, representatives, officers, directors, employees and agents (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) shall be held harmless and shall be indemnified by the Collateral Manager for any Indemnified Amount suffered by an Indemnitee arising out of or as a result of any Collateral Manager Breach, except to the extent such Indemnified Amount arises out of or results from any act or omission of an Indemnitee constituting bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Section 6.10 Removal or Resignation of the Collateral Manager.

(a) The Collateral Manager may (and shall, upon the written direction of the Controlling Parties) be removed for Cause by the Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Manager, the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian, the Member and the Lenders. “Cause” means the occurrence and continuation of any of the following events:

(iii) any representation, warranty or certification made or given in writing by the Collateral Manager (or any of its directors or officers) pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party proves incorrect in any respect when made or given, which error has a Material Adverse Effect and, if such error can be remedied, such error continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the earlier of (a) the date on which the Collateral Manager receives written notice of such error and (b) the date on which the Collateral Manager acquires knowledge of such error;

(iv) an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Collateral Manager;

(vii) the Collateral Manager makes payments of money in excess, in the aggregate, of $5,000,000 (excluding the portion of any such payments made from, or covered by, insurance proceeds) to settle any litigation, claim or dispute;

121

ARTICLE VII

THE COLLATERAL CUSTODIAN

Section 7.1 Designation of Collateral Custodian.

(a) Initial Collateral Custodian. The role of Collateral Custodian will be conducted by the Person designated as Collateral Custodian hereunder from time to time in accordance with this Section 7.1. Until a successor Collateral Custodian is appointed in accordance with this Article VII, U.S. Bank is appointed as, and accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, Collateral Custodian pursuant to the terms hereof and of the other Transaction Documents to which the Collateral Custodian is a party.

(b) Successor Collateral Custodian. Upon the Collateral Custodian’s receipt of written notice from the Administrative Agent of the designation of a successor Collateral Custodian pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.9, the Collateral Custodian agrees that it shall terminate its activities as Collateral Custodian hereunder. Notwithstanding such termination, the Collateral Custodian will be entitled to receive all accrued and unpaid Collateral Custodian’s Fees and Administrative Expenses due and owing to it at the time of such termination.

(c) Secured Party. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders appoint U.S. Bank, in its capacity as Collateral Custodian, as their collateral custodian for purposes of perfection of a Lien on the Collateral. U.S. Bank, in its capacity as initial Collateral Custodian, accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement.

Section 7.2 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

(a) The Collateral Custodian undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Agreement with respect to the Collateral Custodian. The powers conferred on the Collateral Custodian hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and do not impose any fiduciary duty or other duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Custodian will not be liable for any action taken or omitted under this Agreement, except to the extent caused by the Collateral Custodian’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event will the Collateral Custodian be liable under or in connection with this Agreement for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including lost profits or diminution in value, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Collateral Custodian has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought.

(b) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions

122

expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Collateral Custodian and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; provided that, in the case of any such certificates or opinions that are specifically required hereunder to be furnished to the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Custodian will be obligated to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement and shall promptly (within three Business Days in the case of a certificate furnished by the Collateral Manager) notify the delivering party if such certificate or opinion does not so conform. If a corrected form is not delivered to the Collateral Custodian within 15 days after notice of nonconformity from the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Custodian shall notify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Member.

(c) No provision of this Agreement will be construed to relieve the Collateral Custodian from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

129

hereunder, without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

Section 7.11 Certain Duties of Collateral Custodian Related to Other Possessory Collateral. The Collateral Custodian shall, until a successor Collateral Custodian is appointed or this Agreement is terminated and the Obligations are paid in full (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted), perform the following duties and obligations with respect to any Other Possessory Collateral, that is not comprised of a Collateral Obligation File (the “Other Possessory Collateral”):

(a) The Collateral Custodian shall take and retain custody of the Other Possessory Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties and subject to the Lien thereon in favor of the Collateral Custodian for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Within ten Business Days after its receipt of any such Other Possessory Collateral and subject to the preceding sentence, the Collateral Custodian shall review such Other Possessory Collateral to confirm that it (i) has been executed and (ii) on its face reflects the original Principal Balance and the Obligor of the Collateral Obligation relating to such Other Possessory Collateral. In order to facilitate the foregoing, in connection with each delivery of Other Possessory Collateral to the Collateral Custodian hereunder, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) shall provide to the Collateral Custodian an electronic file (in EXCEL or a comparable format), upon which the Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely, containing information with respect to each Collateral Obligation relating to the Possessory Collateral and the Other Possessory Collateral, which information must include the original Principal Balance and Obligor for the related Collateral Obligation (the “Possessory Collateral Schedule”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Collateral Custodian will be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments or certificates to independently determine that they are valid, genuine, enforceable, legally sufficient, duly authorized or appropriate for their represented purpose, that any assignment or endorsement is in proper form or that any document is other than what it purports to be on its face.

(b) All Other Possessory Collateral must be (i) kept in fire resistant vaults, rooms or cabinets at the Corporate Trust Office, (ii) placed together with an appropriate identifying label and maintained in such a manner so as to permit its retrieval and access and (iii) clearly segregated from any other documents or instruments held by the Collateral Custodian.

(c) The Collateral Custodian, upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall provide a written report identifying each item of Other Possessory Collateral held by the Collateral Custodian as of the date of such request.

(d) In performing its duties hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall act in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 7.12 Release and Return of Other Possessory Collateral. From time to time, as permitted by the terms of this Agreement, as appropriate for the administration, Sale or

130

transfer of any of the Other Possessory Collateral, the Collateral Custodian is authorized (unless and until such authorization is revoked by the Administrative Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), upon its receipt from the Collateral Manager of a written request for the release of any Other Possessory Collateral, to release the requested Other Possessory Collateral to the Collateral Manager within two Business Days after receipt of such request. All Other Possessory Collateral so released to the Collateral Manager must be held by the Collateral Manager in trust for the Collateral Custodian for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent that any such Other Possessory Collateral is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in connection with a transaction permitted by this Agreement. To the extent applicable, the Collateral Manager shall return any such released Other Possessory Collateral to the Collateral Custodian (i) promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or (ii) when the Collateral Manager’s need therefor no longer exists. Any Other Possessory Collateral delivered to the Collateral Custodian in error must be promptly returned to the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) upon the written request of the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) or upon the Collateral Custodian becoming aware of such error.

Section 7.13 Agent for Secured Parties. With respect to the Lien of the Collateral Custodian created hereunder, the delivery of any Possessory Collateral to the Collateral Custodian or the Document Custodian will be deemed to be delivery to the Collateral Custodian as agent for the Secured Parties. In furtherance of the foregoing, the possession by the Collateral Custodian of any Possessory Collateral and the endorsement to or registration of such Collateral in the name of the Collateral Custodian are all undertaken by the Collateral Custodian in its capacity as agent for the Secured Parties.

Section 7.14 Certain Duties of Collateral Custodian Related to Delayed Payment of Proceeds. In the event that in any month the Collateral Custodian does not receive any payment (or is unable to identify whether any payment consists of Principal Collections or Interest Collections) with respect to any Collateral Obligation (in each case to the extent the Collateral Custodian has received notice that such payment is due), (a) the Collateral Custodian shall promptly notify the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Member in writing and (b) unless such payment is received by the Collateral Custodian (or such Collections have been identified) within three Business Days after such notice (or the end of the applicable grace period for such payment, if longer), the Collateral Custodian shall request the applicable Obligor or designated paying agent, as applicable, to make such payment (or identify such Collections) as soon as practicable but in no event later than three Business Days after the date of such request. In the event that such payment is not made (or such Collections are not identified) within the applicable time period, the Collateral Custodian, subject to the provisions of this Article VII, shall take such reasonable action (at the Borrower’s expense) as the Collateral Manager directs in writing. Any such action will be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement. All Collections that the Collateral Custodian is unable to identify as Principal Collections or Interest Collections must be held in the Collection Account.

Section 7.15 Facsimile and Electronic Transmissions. The Collateral Custodian agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods,

131

provided, however, that any Person providing such instructions or directions has provided to the Collateral Custodian an incumbency certificate listing designated individuals, which incumbency certificate must be amended and replaced whenever a designated individual is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the Administrative Agent elects to give the Collateral Custodian e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method), the Collateral Custodian’s understanding of such instructions will be controlling. The Collateral Custodian will not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Collateral Custodian’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding that such instructions may conflict with or be inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Administrative Agent agree to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Collateral Custodian, including the risk of the Collateral Custodian acting on unauthorized instructions and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

ARTICLE VIII

SECURITY INTEREST

Section 8.1 Grant of Security Interest.

(a) This Agreement constitutes a security agreement, and the Funded Loans made hereunder constitute secured loans from the Lenders to the Borrower under Applicable Law. The Borrower conveys, assigns and grants to the Collateral Custodian, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a lien and continuing security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Collateral, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower, and wherever located, to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance in full when due, whether by stated maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations of the Borrower, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect or absolute or contingent. The powers conferred on the Collateral Custodian hereunder with respect to the Collateral are solely to protect the Collateral Custodian’s interests in the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties and do not impose any duty upon the Collateral Custodian to exercise any such powers. If the Borrower fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein with respect to the Collateral, the Collateral Custodian, at its option and at the direction of the Administrative Agent, may, but has no obligation to, itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(b) The grant of a security interest under this Section 8.1 does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Collateral Custodian of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Person in connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or Underlying Instrument. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower will remain liable to perform all of its duties and obligations with respect to the Collateral to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Collateral Custodian for the benefit of the Secured Parties of any of its rights in the Collateral will not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations with respect to the Collateral, (iii) the Collateral Custodian will not have any

132

obligations or liability with respect to the Collateral by reason of this Agreement and (iv) the Collateral Custodian will not be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower with respect to the Collateral or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

(c) The Borrower designates the Collateral Custodian as its agent and attorney in fact to prepare, execute and file any UCC financing statement, continuation statement and other instruments and take all other actions required hereunder; provided that such appointment will not impose upon the Collateral Custodian any of the Borrower’s obligations under Section 5.1(e). In executing and filing any continuation statements, the Collateral Custodian will be entitled to receive (at the Borrower’s expense), and conclusively rely upon, an Opinion of Counsel as to the need to file, the dates by which such filings are required to be made, the jurisdictions in which such filings are to be made and the form and content of such filings. The Borrower further authorizes and shall cause its United States counsel to file a UCC financing statement that names the Borrower as debtor and the Collateral Custodian, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as secured party and that describes “all assets in which the debtor now or hereafter has rights” as the Collateral in which the Collateral Custodian has a grant of security hereunder.

Section 8.2 Release of Lien on Collateral.

(a) At the same time as (i) any Collateral Obligation expires by its terms or is prepaid in full and all amounts in respect thereof have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account, (ii) any Collateral Obligation has been the subject of a Sale pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or (iii) this Agreement is terminated and the Obligations paid in full (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted), the Collateral Custodian, as agent for the Secured Parties, will, promptly following its receipt of a Borrower Order, release its Lien on all or the relevant portion of the Collateral, which release, in the case of a termination of this Agreement, will occur simultaneously with the payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted). In connection with any such release, the Collateral Custodian, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall, at the sole expense of the Borrower, (A) execute and deliver to the Borrower any assignments, bills of sale, termination statements and other releases and instruments as the Borrower may reasonably request in writing in order to effect the release of the Collateral Custodian’s Lien on such Collateral, (B) deliver any portion of the Possessory Collateral to be released from its Lien to and at the written direction of the Borrower and (C) otherwise take such actions as are necessary and appropriate to release the Lien of the Collateral Custodian for the benefit of the Secured Parties on the applicable portion of the Collateral to be released, in each case delivered to and at the written direction of the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf); provided that the Collateral Custodian, as agent for the Secured Parties, will make no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any Collateral in connection with its release.

(b) At the same time as any Collateral Obligation, Permitted Investment or Equity Security is transferred to a Blocker Subsidiary pursuant to Section 2.12(e), the

133

Collateral Custodian, as agent for the Secured Parties, shall promptly release its Lien on all or the relevant portion of the Collateral and deliver it to such Blocker Subsidiary after each of (i) delivery to the Collateral Account of an instrument or instruments representing 100.00% of the equity interests of such Blocker Subsidiary, (ii) execution and delivery by such Blocker Subsidiary of the guarantee and security agreement required by Section 5.1(k)(i)(7) and (iii) receipt of written direction from the Borrower to release such Lien.

Section 8.3 Accounts.

(a) Each of the parties hereto agrees that each Account will be deemed to be a Securities Account. Each of the parties hereto agrees to cause the Collateral Custodian or any Securities Intermediary that holds any Cash or other Financial Asset for the Borrower to agree with the parties hereto that (i) the Cash and other property is to be treated as a Financial Asset and (ii) the jurisdiction governing the Accounts, all Cash and other Financial Assets credited to the Accounts and the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 8-110(e) of the UCC) will, in each case, be the State of New York. In no event may any Financial Asset held in any Account be registered in the name of, payable to the order of, or specially Indorsed to, the Borrower, unless such Financial Asset has also been Indorsed in blank or to the Collateral Custodian or the Securities Intermediary that holds such Financial Asset in an Account.

(b) The Collateral Custodian shall not, except in accordance with this Agreement, permit the removal of any portion of the Collateral or transfer any Collateral from the Account to which it is credited, or cause or permit any change in the delivery made pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect to any Collateral, if, after giving effect thereto, the jurisdiction governing the perfection of the Collateral Custodian’s security interest in such Collateral is different from the jurisdiction governing the perfection at the time of delivery of the most recent Opinion of Counsel as to perfection of the Collateral Custodian’s security interest in the Collateral, in each case unless the Collateral Custodian has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security interest in such property and the priority thereof created by this Agreement will continue to be maintained after giving effect to such action or actions.

ARTICLE IX

Section 9.2 Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and subject to Section 6.11), the Administrative Agent may, and at the written request of the Controlling Parties shall, in each case by notice to the Borrower and the Member, declare (i) the Termination Date to have occurred and all outstanding Obligations to be immediately due and payable in full (without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower) or (ii) the Aggregation Period to have terminated; provided that, in the case of any event involving the Borrower described in Section 9.1(d), all of the Obligations will become immediately due and payable in full (without presentment, demand, notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower) and the Termination Date will be deemed to have occurred automatically and without any further act by any Person upon the occurrence of any such event.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Custodian (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), acting at the direction of the Controlling Parties given through the Administrative Agent will have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction and other Applicable Laws, which rights will be cumulative. In addition, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager (on the Borrower’s behalf) agree that, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, they shall, at the Borrower’s expense and upon request of the Collateral Custodian (acting at the direction of the Controlling Parties given through the Administrative Agent), forthwith, and notwithstanding anything in the Underlying Instruments to the contrary, (i) assemble all or any part of the Collateral as requested by the Collateral Custodian and make such Collateral available to the Collateral Custodian at a place to be designated by the Collateral Custodian and (ii) upon only such notice as specified in Section 9.2(c), sell (or facilitate the sale by Collateral Custodian of) the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, in the over the counter market or at any exchange at any of the Collateral Custodian’s or the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, and upon such other terms and conditions as the Controlling Parties through the Administrative Agent may deem advisable in their sole discretion, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Custodian (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), acting at the direction of the Controlling Parties given through the Administrative Agent will have the right, without notice or publication, to adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement prior to or at the time and place fixed for such sale, and any such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be adjourned without further notice. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders will have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of the Borrower, which right or equity of redemption is waived or released. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian or any Lender arising out of the exercise by such Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder, except for any claims, damages and demands it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral

137

Custodian or any Lender arising from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Secured Party.

(c) The Borrower shall use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to make any sale or sales of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.2 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other requirements of Applicable Laws. Each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager agrees that the Collateral Custodian, in conducting sales pursuant to this Section 9.2, acting at the direction of the Controlling Parties given through the Administrative Agent, will have the right, among other things, to (i) accept the first bid received, or decide to approach or not to approach any potential purchasers and (ii) conduct sales in a commercially reasonable manner (and that no Secured Party will incur any liability as a result of the sale of any Collateral, or any part thereof, pursuant to this Section 9.2 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner), it being agreed by the parties hereto that some or all of the Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily in value. Each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager waives any claims against the Secured Parties arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any of the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Collateral Custodian (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), acting at the direction of the Controlling Parties given through the Administrative Agent accepts the first bid received and does not offer any Collateral to more than one bidder; provided that such sale was conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Without in any way limiting the Collateral Custodian’s right to conduct a foreclosure sale for the benefit of the Secured Parties in any manner which is considered commercially reasonable, each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager agrees that any foreclosure sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions will be considered a commercially reasonable sale, and each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager irrevocably waives any right to contest any such sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions: (1) it is conducted in the State of New York; (2) it is conducted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York in all material respects and (3) not more than 30 days before, and not less than 10 days in advance of such foreclosure sale, the Collateral Custodian (at the direction of the Administrative Agent) notifies the Borrower, the Members and the Collateral Manager at the address set forth herein of the time and place of such foreclosure sale. Each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager agrees that a breach of any of its covenants contained in this Section 9.2(c) will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 9.2(c) is specifically enforceable against the Borrower and the Collateral Manager, and each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under this Agreement or any defense relating to a Secured Party’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9.2, in connection with the sale of the Collateral following a declaration that the Obligations are immediately due and payable (or automatic acceleration thereof) pursuant to this Section 9.2, the Member will have the right to purchase all of the Collateral Obligations by paying to the Collateral

138

Custodian in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the amount necessary to pay the Obligations in full on the date of such purchase. If the Member fail to exercise this purchase right prior to the day that is one Business Day prior to such sale pursuant to this Section 9.2, then the Member will forfeit such right.

Section 9.3 Application of Cash Collected. Any Cash collected by the Collateral Custodian pursuant to this Article IX and any Cash that may then be held or thereafter received by the Collateral Custodian with respect to the Obligations hereunder will be applied in accordance with the Sequential Pay Priority.

Section 9.4 Rights of Action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, but subject to Section 12.18, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent will have the right to institute any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to any Transaction Document or for the appointment of a separate receiver or Collateral Custodian or for any other remedy hereunder. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Custodian shall institute proceedings and exercise remedies hereunder only at the direction of the Administrative Agent and, in taking any action as so directed, shall be indemnified against the costs, expenses and liabilities it incurs by complying with such request.

Section 9.5 Unconditional Rights of Lenders to Receive Principal and Interest.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, but subject to Section 12.8, each Lender has the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the portion of Obligations owing to it as such amounts become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof and, subject to the provisions of Section 9.4 and Section 12.18, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment. Each Lender’s rights as described in this Section 9.5(a) may not be impaired without the consent of such Lender.

(b) If collections in respect of the Collateral are insufficient, following realization of the Collateral and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to make any payments due in respect of the Obligations, no other assets will be available for such deficiency and the obligations of the Borrower to pay any such deficiency will be extinguished and will not thereafter revive.

Section 9.6 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Collateral Custodian or any Lender has instituted any judicial proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Collateral Custodian or to such Lender, then, and in each such case, the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian and the Lenders will, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and all rights and remedies of the Secured Parties will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 9.7 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders

139

is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy will, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy provided hereunder or now or hereafter existing by law, in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder will not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other available right or remedy.

Section 9.8 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default will impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such remedy or Event of Default or an acquiescence thereto. Every right and remedy granted by this Article IX or by Applicable Law to the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be.

Section 9.9 Control by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to cause the institution of, and direct the time, method and place of pursuing, any remedy available to the Collateral Custodian or the exercise of any trust, right, remedy or power conferred on the Collateral Custodian, and the Collateral Custodian shall, without delay, implement such direction of the Administrative Agent; provided that such direction does not conflict with any rule of law or with this Agreement and the Collateral Custodian has been provided with indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it.

Section 9.10 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Borrower covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force (including filing a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and the voluntary commencement of a proceeding or the filing of a petition seeking winding up, liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect), which may affect the covenants under, the performance of or any remedies under this Agreement. To the extent that it may lawfully do so, the Borrower further expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Collateral Custodian, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 9.11 Power of Attorney. The Borrower irrevocably appoints the Collateral Custodian its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for (and subject to the terms and conditions set forth) in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default only, to (a) give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) make all necessary transfers of Collateral in connection with any sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any sale or other disposition and (d) sign any agreements, orders

140

or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document. The Borrower ratifies and confirms all that such attorney (or any substitute) lawfully does hereunder and pursuant hereto. In addition, if so requested by the Collateral Custodian upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any sale or other disposition of Collateral made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Collateral Custodian or the applicable purchaser all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be requested. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the power of attorney granted by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.11 supersedes any other power of attorney or similar rights granted by the Borrower to any other party (including the Collateral Manager) under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement; provided that the Collateral Manager may continue to exercise its rights under this Agreement until the Collateral Manager has received notice of the Collateral Custodian’s exercise of its power of attorney hereunder.

Section 9.12 Collateral Custodian May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Revolving Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document may be prosecuted and enforced by the Collateral Custodian without the possession of any of the Revolving Notes or the production thereof in any legal or equitable proceeding, judicial or otherwise, and any such proceeding instituted by the Collateral Custodian will be brought in its own name as Collateral Custodian of an express trust and any recovery of judgment will be applied as set forth in the Sequential Pay Priority.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.1 Indemnities by the Borrower.

(a) Without limiting any other rights that any Person may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Document Custodian, the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates, permitted assigns, officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all damages, losses, judgments, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of agents, attorneys and experts, (including interest, penalties and additions thereto) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as the “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by such Indemnified Party or any of them arising out of or as a result of or enforcement of this Agreement (whether brought by or involving the Borrower or any third party) or ownership of the Funded Loans under this Agreement or having an interest in the Collateral or in respect of any Collateral Obligation included in the Collateral, excluding, however, any Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party. This Section 10.1(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b) Any amounts required to be paid pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.1 must be paid or caused to be paid by the Borrower to the

141

applicable Indemnified Party on the Payment Date following such Indemnified Party’s demand therefor in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(c) If for any reason the indemnification provided in this Section 10.1 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless, then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits of this Agreement received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand, but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that the Borrower will not be required to contribute in respect of any Indemnified Amounts excluded by Section 10.1(a).

(d) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.1 will survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian or the Document Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 11.1 Appointment. Each Secured Party appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent and further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents (including the Collateral Custodian and the Document Custodian) to act on its behalf and for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Each Secured Party further authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing, each Secured Party appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate or that a Secured Party may reasonably request in order to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder. The Controlling Parties may direct the Administrative Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent will not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but will be required to act or to refrain from acting (and will be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Controlling Parties; provided that the Administrative Agent will not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, would be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or would expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. If the Administrative Agent requests the consent of any Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a response from such Lender within ten Business Days after such Lender’s receipt of such request, then such Lender will be deemed to have refused to consent to the applicable action.

142

Section 11.2 Standard of Care. The Administrative Agent shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it hereunder and by the other Transaction Documents using the same degree of care and skill as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

Section 11.3 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees will be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and will not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or other experts, (b) makes no warranties or representations and will not be responsible for any statements, warranties or representations made by any other Person in connection with this Agreement, (c) will not have any duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, (d) will not be responsible for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto and (e) will incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by e-mail or facsimile) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

Section 11.4 Credit Decision Without Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based upon such documents and information as such Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender also acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based upon such documents and information as such Lender deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

Section 11.5 Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder; provided that the Lenders will not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,

143

judgments, suits, costs, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The payment of amounts under this Section 11.5 will be on an after-Tax basis. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Lenders hereunder or thereunder. In no event will the Administrative Agent be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if the Administrative Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought.

Section 11.6 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to each Lender, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Custodian, the Document Custodian and the Collateral Administrator, effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, and may be removed at any time with cause by the Controlling Parties acting jointly. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Lenders acting jointly shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Borrower, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Each of the Borrower and the Lenders agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation or the removal of the Administrative Agent, then the retiring or removed Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent must be either (a) a commercial bank with a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof, (b) a Lender or (c) an Affiliate of such a bank or a Lender. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent will thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI will continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

Section 11.7 Payments by the Administrative Agent. Unless specifically allocated to a specific Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares on the Business Day such amounts were received by the Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon, in which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such

144

amounts to the applicable Lenders on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such Lenders not later than the following Business Day.

ARTICLE XII

(b) No waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by the Administrative Agent to any departure therefrom by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager shall be effective unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing from the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Controlling Parties) and any such waiver or consent shall then be effective only for the period and on the conditions and for the specific instance specified in such writing.

(c) Notwithstanding any of the requirements set forth in this Section 12.1, the Administrative Agent (acting on behalf of the Controlling Parties) may (upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Collateral Manager and the Member, but without the consent of any other Person) amend this Agreement (a “Base Rate Amendment”) to change the base rate in respect of the Funded Loans from the LIBOR Rate to an alternative base rate (such rate, the “Alternate Base Rate”) and, as appropriate, an adjustment margin (the “Adjustment Margin”) corresponding to each available LIBOR Rate term, to effect, to the extent practicable, an aggregate interest rate comparable to the LIBOR Rate-based rate in effect prior to its replacement and to preserve pricing in effect at the time of selection of such Alternate Base Rate, and make such other amendments as are necessary or advisable in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Parties to facilitate such change; provided that (A) the Administrative Agent has consulted with an Officer of the Collateral Manager not less than 10 Business Days prior to making any change to the Alternate Base Rate or the Adjustment Margin, as applicable, (B) the Administrative Agent has provided written notice of any such change not less than five Business Days prior to making it and (C) such amendment is being undertaken due to (x) a material disruption to the LIBOR Rate, (y) a change in the methodology of calculating the LIBOR Rate or (z) the LIBOR Rate ceasing to

The Alternate Base Rate and Adjustment Margin will be determined with due consideration to the then prevailing market practice for determining a rate of interest for newly originated syndicated loans in the United States. The Borrower shall provide any Rating Agency with notice of any amendment pursuant to this Section 12.1(c) promptly after execution thereof.

Section 12.14 Marshalling; Recapture.

To the extent any Lender receives any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to the Borrower or its estate, trustee, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the Obligation or part thereof which had been paid,

152

reduced or satisfied by the amount so repaid, will be reinstated by the amount so repaid and will be included within the liabilities of the Borrower to such Lender as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.

Section 12.15 Assignments by the Lenders.

(a) Each Lender may at any time assign, or xxxxx x Xxxx or sell a participation interest in, or sell any Funded Loan made by it (or portion thereof) to any Person; provided that (i) during the Aggregation Period (and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) no transfer of any Funded Loan (or any portion thereof) may be made without the Collateral Manager’s prior consent, (ii) the assignee is able to (and does) make the representations and warranties specified in Section 4.5, (iii) in the case of an assignment of any Funded Loan (or any portion thereof), the assignee executes and delivers to (I) the Collateral Manager, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian a fully executed Joinder Supplement and a fully executed Transferee Letter and (II) the Administrative Agent, a fully executed Assignment Agreement and (iv) no Disqualified Institution may be the assignee of any Funded Loan without the prior written consent of the Collateral Manager. The parties to any such assignment, grant or sale of a participation interest by a Lender must execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in its books and records any such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties. Notwithstanding any assignment of a participation interest by a Lender, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Borrower shall not assign or delegate, or grant any interest in, or permit any Lien to exist upon, any of the Borrower’s rights, obligations or duties under the Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Lenders nor the Collateral Manager needs the prior consent of any party to consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey or transfer substantially all of its assets or property, including any Funded Loan (or portion thereof) to any Person.

(b) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its lending offices, a copy of each Joinder Supplement, Transferee Letter, Assignment Agreement or any other document or instrument evidencing an assignment, grant or sale of a participation pursuant to Section 12.15(a) delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Maximum Permitted Draw Amount of, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Outstanding Funded Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Transfer by a Lender of its rights hereunder pursuant to this Section 12.15 will not take effect until the recording by the Administrative Agent of the identity of the transferee in the Register. The entries in the Register will be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register will be available for inspection by

153

Borrower, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Manager and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Any assignment, grant or sale of a participation in violation of the terms of this Section 12.15 (or attempted assignment, grant or sale of a participation, as the case may be) shall be null and void and of no legal force and effect.

(c) Each Lender that grants a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a participant register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Funded Loan or other obligations under the Transaction Documents; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the participant register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Funded Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the participant register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the participant register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(d) The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.18 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.11 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in Applicable Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation.

Section 12.18 Non-Petition.

(a) Each of the parties hereto (including for the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) agrees for the benefit of the Borrower that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Borrower or any Blocker Subsidiary any Insolvency Proceeding for at least one year (or, if longer, the applicable

154

preference period then in effect) and one day after the later to occur of (i) the payment in full of all Obligations due and payable and (ii) if a Securitization has taken place, the payment in full of any notes issued pursuant to such Securitization. Subject to the availability of funds under the Priority of Payments, the Borrower shall file a timely objection to, and promptly and timely move to dismiss and diligently prosecute such objection and/or motion to dismiss, any Insolvency Proceeding commenced by any Person in violation of this Section 12.18(a) or otherwise. The Borrower expressly consents to, and agrees not to raise any objection in respect of, each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders having creditor derivative standing in any Insolvency Proceeding to enforce each and every covenant contained in this Section 12.18(a).

(b) The Borrower irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the covenants provided for in this Section 12.18, including the following powers: (i) to object to and seek to dismiss any Insolvency Proceeding relating to a Insolvency Event described in clause (i) of the definition thereof and (ii) all powers and rights incidental thereto. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Section 12.19 Initial Rating.

(a) Each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager agrees that, at the Borrower’s expense, it shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent, and promptly provide, execute and/or deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further commercially reasonable action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to obtain an Initial Rating from a Rating Agency.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no provision contained herein requiring notice or reporting to the Rating Agency hereunder will be given force or effect until such time, if any, as the Rating Agency has issued an Initial Rating of the Funded Loans and/or the Revolving Notes.

Section 12.20 Xxxxxxx Rule. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon the reasonable determination in good faith by any Lender (following consultation with counsel of national reputation experienced in such matters) that its ownership of any of its rights or obligations hereunder is prohibited by Applicable Law (including, without limitation, the Xxxxxxx Rule), each of the other Lenders, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent hereby agree to work in good faith to amend or amend and restate the commercial terms of this Agreement (including, if necessary, to re-document under a note purchase agreement or indenture) to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with such Applicable Law, provided that any such amendment or other modification that would be materially adverse to the Borrower or the Collateral Manager shall not be executed without consent from such party.

155

Section 12.21 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies each other party hereto that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, such Lender may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such party, which information includes the name and address of such party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

Section 13.2 Duties of the Document Custodian. The Document Custodian shall perform, on behalf of the Secured Parties, the following duties and obligations:

(a) The Document Custodian, as the duly appointed agent of the Secured Parties, shall take and retain custody of the Collateral Obligation Files delivered to it by, or on behalf of, the Borrower for each Collateral Obligation. Promptly upon the receipt of any such delivery of Collateral Obligation Files and without any review, the Document Custodian shall send notice of such receipt to the Collateral Manager, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(b) With respect to each Collateral Obligation File which has been or will be delivered to the Document Custodian, the Document Custodian shall act exclusively as the custodian of the Secured Parties, and has no instructions to hold any Collateral Obligation File for the benefit of any Person other than the Secured Parties and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In so taking and retaining custody of the Collateral Obligation Files, the Document Custodian shall be deemed to be acting for the purpose of perfecting the Collateral Custodian’s security interest therein under the UCC. Except as permitted by Section 13.5, no Collateral Obligation File or other document constituting a part of a Collateral Obligation File shall be released from the possession of the Document Custodian.

(c) The Document Custodian shall maintain continuous custody of all Collateral Obligation Files in its possession in secure facilities in accordance with customary standards for such custody and shall reflect in its records the interest of the Secured Parties therein. Each Collateral Obligation File which comes into the possession of the Document Custodian (other than documents delivered electronically) shall be maintained in fire-resistant vaults or cabinets at the office of the Document Custodian. Each Collateral Obligation File shall be marked with an appropriate identifying label and maintained in such manner so as to permit retrieval and access by the Document Custodian and the Administrative Agent. The Document Custodian shall keep the Collateral Obligation Files clearly segregated from any other documents or instruments in its files.

156

(d) With respect to the documents comprising each Collateral Obligation File, the Document Custodian shall (i) act exclusively as Document Custodian for the Secured Parties, (ii) hold all documents constituting such Collateral Obligation File received by it for the exclusive use and benefit of the Secured Parties and (iii) make disposition thereof only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or with written instructions furnished by the Administrative Agent; provided, that in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the written instructions of the Administrative Agent, this Agreement shall control.

(f) In the event that (i) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager, the Document Custodian or the Collateral Custodian shall be served by a third party with any type of levy, attachment, writ or court order with respect to any Collateral Obligation File or a document included within a Collateral Obligation File or (ii) a third party shall institute any court proceeding by which any Collateral Obligation File or a document included within a Collateral Obligation File shall be required to be delivered other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the party receiving such service shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the other parties to this Agreement (to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law) copies of all court papers, orders, documents and other materials concerning such proceedings. The Document Custodian shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to hold and maintain all the Collateral Obligation Files that are the subject of such proceedings pending a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction permitting or directing disposition thereof. Upon final determination of such court, the Document Custodian shall dispose of such Collateral Obligation File or a document included within such Collateral Obligation File as directed by the Administrative Agent, which shall give a direction consistent with such determination. Expenses of the Document Custodian incurred as a result of such proceedings shall be borne by the Borrower and payable solely pursuant to Section 2.7 or 2.8 hereof, as applicable.

(g) The Administrative Agent may direct the Document Custodian to take any action which is incidental to any action the Document Custodian is obligated to take hereunder; provided that the Document Custodian shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Administrative Agent, any Secured Parties or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Document Custodian, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or shall expose the Document Custodian to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto). In the event the Document Custodian requests the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Document Custodian does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.

157

(h) The Document Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Document Custodian. The Document Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including an Event of Default, unless a Document Custodian Officer has knowledge of such matter or written notice thereof is received by the Document Custodian.

(a) The Borrower or the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) shall deliver or cause to be delivered on behalf of the Borrower the Collateral Obligation Files for each Collateral Obligation to the extent that the Borrower or the Collateral Manager determines that delivery of the Collateral Obligation File to the Document Custodian is required or expedient. The Borrower or the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) shall represent and warrant that the Collateral Obligation Files delivered to the Document Custodian include all of the documents listed in the related Document Checklist that are required to be delivered and all of such documents and the information contained in the Possessory Collateral Schedule are complete and accurate to the extent that the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, as the case may be, may have control or are responsible for such information.

(b) From time to time, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower), promptly following receipt, shall forward to the Document Custodian (as identified on an accompanying Schedule of Collateral Obligations supplement) additional documents evidencing any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Collateral Obligation, and upon receipt of any such other documents, the Document Custodian shall hold such other documents as the Borrower or the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) shall deliver in writing from time to time.

Section 13.4 Collateral Obligation File.

(a) Upon making a determination that such delivery of a Collateral Obligation File is required or expedient, the Borrower or the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) shall provide a Possessory Collateral Schedule and related Document Checklist to the Collateral Custodian, the Document Custodian and the Administrative Agent.

(b) Within ten Business Days of receipt of any Collateral Obligation Files the Document Custodian shall prepare a report (substantially in the form of Exhibit I) in respect of each of the Collateral Obligations, to the effect that, as to each Collateral Obligation listed on the Possessory Collateral Schedule, based on the Document Custodian’s examination of the Collateral Obligation File for each Collateral Obligation and the related Document Checklist, except for variances from the documents identified in the Document Checklist with respect to the related Collateral Obligation Files, (i) all documents required to be delivered in respect of such Collateral Obligations pursuant to the Document Checklist have been delivered and are in the possession of the Document Custodian as part of the

158

Collateral Obligation File for such Collateral Obligation (other than those released pursuant to Section 13.5), and (ii) all such documents have been reviewed by the Collateral Custodian and appear on their face to be regular and to relate to such Collateral Obligation.

(c) Notwithstanding any language to the contrary herein, the Document Custodian shall make no representations as to, and shall not be responsible to verify, (i) the validity, legality, ownership, title, perfection, priority, enforceability, due authorization, recordability, sufficiency for any purpose, or genuineness of any of the documents contained in each Collateral Obligation File or (ii) the collectibility, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any such Collateral Obligation.

Section 13.5 Release of Collateral Obligation Files.

(a) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.12 and upon its receipt from the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) of a written request for the release of any Collateral Obligation File (a “Request for Release”), and unless it receives notice to the contrary from the Administrative Agent, the Document Custodian shall within three days release the related Collateral Obligation File to the Collateral Manager and the Collateral Manager will not be required to return the related Collateral Obligation File to the Document Custodian.

(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any of the Collateral Obligations, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy relating to the Collateral Obligations, the Document Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from an authorized representative of the Collateral Manager, release the related Collateral Obligation File or the documents set forth in such Request for Release to the Collateral Manager. In the event an Event of Default or a Collateral Manager Breach has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Manager shall not make any such request with respect to any original documents unless the Administrative Agent shall have consented in writing thereto (which consent may be evidenced by an executed counterpart to such request). The Collateral Manager shall return each and every original document previously requested from the Collateral Obligation File to the Document Custodian when the need therefor by the Collateral Manager no longer exists. To the extent the Collateral Obligation File or such original document has been delivered to a Person as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Collateral Obligation either judicially or non-judicially and within five Business Days of the making of such delivery, the Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Document Custodian a certificate executed by an Authorized Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Collateral Obligation File or such original document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a Request for Release, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, stating that such Collateral Obligation was either (x) liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited have been so deposited, or (y) sold pursuant to a Sale in accordance with Section 2.12, the Document Custodian shall within three Business Days of receipt of the Request for Release (provided that the Document Custodian has received such request by 12:00 p.m. and if received after 12:00 p.m., four Business Days of receipt of such Request

159

for Release), release the requested Collateral Obligation File, and the Collateral Manager will not be required to return the related Collateral Obligation File to the Document Custodian.

(c) The Collateral Manager may hold, and hereby acknowledges that it shall hold, any documents and all other property included in the Collateral that it may from time to time receive hereunder as custodian for the Secured Parties solely at the will of the Document Custodian and the Secured Parties for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Collateral Obligations and such retention and possession shall be in a custodial capacity only. To the extent the Collateral Manager, as agent of the Document Custodian and the Borrower, holds any Collateral, the Collateral Manager shall do so in accordance with the standard of care set forth in Section 6.6 as such standard applies to Collateral Managers acting as custodial agent. The Collateral Manager shall promptly report to the Document Custodian and the Administrative Agent the loss by it of all or part of any Collateral Obligation File previously provided to it by the Document Custodian and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such loss. The Collateral Manager shall hold (in accordance with Section 9-313(C) of the UCC) all documents comprising the Collateral Obligation Files in its possession as agent of the Collateral Custodian. In such capacity, the Collateral Manager shall have and perform the following powers and duties:

(i) hold the Collateral Obligation Files and any document comprising a Collateral Obligation File that it may from time to time have in its possession for the benefit of the Document Custodian, on behalf of the Secured Parties, maintain accurate records pertaining to each Collateral Obligation to enable it to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and maintain a current inventory thereof;

(ii) implement policies and procedures consistent with the requirements of this Agreement so that the integrity and physical possession of such Collateral Obligation Files will be maintained; and

(iii) take all other actions, in accordance with this Agreement, in connection with maintaining custody of such Collateral Obligation Files on behalf of the Collateral Custodian.

Acting as custodian of the Collateral Obligation Files pursuant to this Section 13.5, the Collateral Manager agrees that it does not and will not have or assert any beneficial ownership interest in the Collateral Obligations or the Collateral Obligation Files.

Section 13.6 Examination of Collateral Obligation Files. Upon reasonable prior notice to the Document Custodian, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and their agents, accountants, attorneys and auditors will be permitted during normal business hours to examine and make copies of the Collateral Obligation Files, documents, records and other papers in the possession of or under the control of the Document Custodian relating to any or all of the Collateral Obligations. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Collateral Manager Breach, upon the request of the Administrative Agent and at the cost and expense of the Borrower, the Document Custodian shall promptly provide the Administrative Agent with the Collateral Obligation Files or copies, as designated by the Administrative Agent; provided, the

160

Document Custodian shall not be required to provide such copies if it does not receive adequate assurance of payment.

Section 13.7 Transmission of Collateral Obligation Files. Written instructions as to the method of shipment and shipper(s) the Document Custodian is directed to utilize in connection with the transmission of Collateral Obligation Files in the performance of the Document Custodian’s duties hereunder shall be delivered by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Manager to the Document Custodian prior to any shipment of any Collateral Obligation Files hereunder. In the event the Document Custodian does not receive such written instruction from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Manager (as applicable), the Document Custodian shall be authorized and indemnified as provided herein to utilize a nationally recognized courier service. The Collateral Manager shall arrange for the provision of such services at its sole cost and expense (or, at the Document Custodian’s option, reimburse the Document Custodian for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Document Custodian consistent with such instructions) and shall maintain such insurance against loss or damage to the Collateral Obligation Files as the Collateral Manager deems appropriate.

Section 13.8 Merger or Consolidation. Any Person (i) into which the Document Custodian may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Document Custodian shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Document Custodian substantially as a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Document Custodian hereunder, shall be the successor to the Document Custodian under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.

Section 13.9 Document Custodian Compensation. As compensation for its Document Custodian activities hereunder, the Document Custodian shall be entitled to its Document Custodian Fees and expenses from the Borrower as set forth in the Collateral Custodian Fee Letter and any other accrued and unpaid fees, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) and indemnity amounts payable by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, or both but without duplication, to the Document Custodian (including Indemnified Amounts under Section 10.1(a)) under the Transaction Documents. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Document Custodian in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.7 for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Document Custodian in accordance with any provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in the enforcement of any provision hereof or in the other Transaction Documents, in each case solely pursuant to Section 2.7 or 2.8 hereof, as applicable. The Document Custodian’s entitlement to receive fees (other than any previously accrued and unpaid fees) shall cease on the earlier to occur of: (i) its removal as Collateral Custodian and appointment and acceptance by the successor Document Custodian pursuant to Section 13.10 and the Document Custodian has ceased to hold any Collateral Obligation Files or (ii) the termination of this Agreement.

Section 13.10 Removal or Resignation of Document Custodian.

161

(a) The Document Custodian may at any time resign and terminate its obligations under this Agreement upon at least 90 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Manager, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Administrative Agent upon at least 90 days’ prior written notice to the Document Custodian may remove and discharge the Document Custodian or any successor Document Custodian thereafter appointed from the performance of its duties under this Agreement for cause. Promptly after receipt of notice of the Document Custodian’s resignation, the Agent shall promptly appoint a successor Document Custodian by written notice delivered to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the resigning Document Custodian and to the successor Document Custodian. Any such appointment shall be accomplished by written notice of appointment delivered to the Document Custodian and the successor Document Custodian with a copy delivered to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager.

(c) No resignation or removal of the Document Custodian will be permitted unless a successor Document Custodian has been appointed which successor Document Custodian, so long as no Collateral Manager Breach or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Manager.

(d) In the event of any such resignation or removal, the Document Custodian shall no later than five Business Days after receipt of notice of the successor Document Custodian, transfer to the successor Document Custodian, as directed in writing by the Administrative Agent, all the Collateral Obligation Files being administered under this Agreement.

Section 13.11 Limitations on Liability.

(a) The Document Custodian may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter or other document delivered to it and that it reasonably and in good faith it believes to be genuine and that has been signed by the proper party or parties. The Document Custodian may rely conclusively on and shall be fully protected in acting upon the written instructions of any designated officer of the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Document Custodian may consult counsel satisfactory to it and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(c) The Document Custodian shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.

162

(d) The Document Custodian makes no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Collateral, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity or value (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) of any of the Collateral. The Document Custodian shall not be obligated to take any action hereunder that might in its judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it.

(e) The Document Custodian shall have no duties or responsibilities except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement against the Document Custodian.

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

(g) It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Document Custodian is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Collateral.

(h) In case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Document Custodian may, prior to the Termination Date or at any time an Event of Default is not continuing, request instructions from the Collateral Manager and may, after the Termination Date or following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, request instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Collateral Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Document Custodian shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith. In no event shall the Document Custodian be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Document Custodian has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(i) Each of the protections, reliances, indemnities and immunities offered to the Collateral Custodian in Section 7.4 and Section 7.6 shall be afforded to the Document Custodian.

Section 13.12 Document Custodian as Agent of Collateral Custodian. The Document Custodian agrees that, with respect to any Collateral Obligation File at any time or times in its possession or held in its name, the Document Custodian shall be the agent and custodian of the Collateral Custodian, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for purposes of

163

perfecting (to the extent not otherwise perfected) the Collateral Custodian’s security interest in the Collateral and for the purpose of ensuring that such security interest is entitled to first priority status under the UCC. For so long as the Document Custodian is the same entity as the Collateral Custodian, the Document Custodian shall be entitled to the same rights and protections afforded to the Collateral Custodian hereunder.
