For the avoidance of doubt, all amounts payable under this Section 3 shall be payable only as Borrower Administrative Expenses in accordance with the order specified in the Priority of Payments as set forth in Section 2.07 of the Loan Agreement.

4. Limitation of Responsibility of the Valuation Agent.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or in any other document or instrument to the contrary, neither the Valuation Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable, except as otherwise provided herein as between the Valuation Agent and the Borrower, in all other respects, for any action taken or not taken by it (or them) under or in connection with this Agreement, except for the Valuation Agent’s (or their) own negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or fraudulent action. For the avoidance of doubt, any action taken by the Valuation Agent or any of its Related Parties in compliance with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall not constitute negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or fraudulent action.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay, indemnify, and hold the Valuation Agent and each of its Related Parties (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless and defend them from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, but excluding income taxes (all the foregoing non-excluded items, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or fraudulent action of any Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties. The Borrower may, in its sole discretion, and at its expense, control the defense of the claim including, without limitation, designating counsel for the Indemnitees (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitees) and controlling all negotiations, litigation, arbitration, settlements, compromises and appeals of any claim; provided that (i) the Borrower may not agree to any settlement involving any Indemnitee that contains any element other than the payment of money and complete indemnification of the Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnitee and (ii) the Borrower shall engage and pay the reasonable expenses of separate counsel for the Indemnitee to the extent that the interests of the Indemnitee are in conflict with those of the Borrower. The Borrower shall be responsible to pay the reasonable fees of such separate legal counsel if such a conflict exists.

(c) The indemnity provided to the Valuation Agent in this Section 4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, including any termination under any bankruptcy law or the resignation or removal of the Valuation Agent hereunder.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party shall assert, and each hereby waives, and no party shall have any indemnity obligation with respect to, any claim against any other party, on any theory of liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) The Valuation Agent shall not be liable for the title, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness or transferability of any Collateral.

(f) The Valuation Agent may rely on any notice, direction, instruction, instrument, document, resolution, officer’s certificate, opinion of counsel, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, opinion, report, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper reasonably believed by it or them in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties (and need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such notice, direction, instruction, instrument, document, resolution, officer’s certificate, opinion of counsel, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, opinion, report, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper), and the Valuation Agent shall be entitled to presume the genuineness, legal capacity and due authority of any signature appearing thereon.

(g) The Valuation Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of any fact or matter unless and until (i) such fact or matter actually becomes known to the Valuation Agent, (ii) notice thereof referencing this Agreement in writing is received by the Valuation Agent at its notice address provided for in Section 11 or (iii) notice is provided to the Valuation Agent pursuant to the Valuation Process.

(h) The duties and obligations of the Valuation Agent shall be determined by the express provisions of this Agreement and the Valuation Process, the Valuation Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and the Valuation Process, and no obligations shall be read into this Agreement or the Valuation Process against the Valuation Agent.

(i) The right of the Valuation Agent to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Valuation Agent shall not be liable for the omission to perform any such act.

(j) The Valuation Agent may, with respect to questions of law relating specifically to the Custodial Account and Interest Reserve Account, apply for and obtain the advice and opinion of counsel, and shall be fully protected with respect to anything done or omitted by it in good faith in conformity with such reasonable advice or opinion.

(k) The Valuation Agent may execute ministerial and ancillary duties through third party ministerial or ancillary service providers, including but not limited to, software vendors; provided that upon request by the Borrower, the Valuation Agent shall to the extent permitted by applicable law, ▇▇▇ such ministerial or ancillary service provider or otherwise enforce its rights against such service provider (provided that the Valuation Agent shall be indemnified by the Borrower for any costs or expenses in connection with such action) and collect, on behalf of the Borrower, any proceeds or damages awarded in respect of any related judgment against such service provider, less any costs and expenses owing to the Valuation Agent. The Valuation Agent shall have no monitoring responsibility with respect

to such persons and shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such persons appointed by the Valuation Agent with due care. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Valuation Agent shall be responsible for adhering to the Valuation Process and for ensuring that pricing information is obtained from Vendors, Brokers, the ▇▇▇▇ to Model Valuation Provider and other sources, as appropriate, in accordance with the Valuation Process.

(l) The Valuation Agent shall have no liability with respect to any valuation made in accordance with the Valuation Process regardless of whether such valuation is significantly greater or less than other possible valuations and shall have no duty to obtain pricing information from any Person other than Vendors, Brokers and the ▇▇▇▇ to Model Valuation Provider in accordance with the Valuation Process.

(m) No Vendor or Broker is an agent of the Valuation Agent in its capacity as such. The Valuation Agent, in its capacity as such, shall have no liability for any marked prices submitted by a Vendor or Broker or for any actions, inactions, information provided by or determinations made by any such Vendor or Broker, it being understood that such actions, inactions, information or determinations made by any such Vendor or Broker do not relieve the Valuation Agent from its obligations to perform its duties as specified in this Agreement and the Valuation Process, such as providing, requesting, receiving and transmitting information from or to such Vendors or Brokers referred to therein.

(n) The Valuation Agent hereby represents that it has engaged the ▇▇▇▇ to Model Valuation Provider with due care and the parties hereto acknowledge that the Valuation Agent has engaged the services of the ▇▇▇▇ to Model Valuation Provider to perform the services set forth in Part II, Step 2-Monthly Market Price Determination, Clause 3 in the Valuation Process. The Valuation Agent shall have no liability for any ▇▇▇▇ to Model Market Price (as defined in the Valuation Process) provided by the ▇▇▇▇ to Model Valuation Provider or the methodology used by the ▇▇▇▇ to Model Valuation Provider in obtaining such ▇▇▇▇ to Model Market Price, except to the extent that a Responsible Officer of the Valuation Agent has actual knowledge that, in the determination of such ▇▇▇▇ to Model Market Price, the ▇▇▇▇ to Model Valuation Provider was acting in a manner that would constitute negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or reckless disregard of the Valuation Agent’s obligations under this Agreement.

(o) To the extent required by any third party data or pricing provider, any provision of third party data or pricing to the Borrower is subject to the Borrower being a party to an agreement with such third party provider, or with the Valuation Agent for the benefit of such third party provider, containing terms and conditions acceptable to such third party provider.

5. No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement (a) shall constitute the Valuation Agent and the Borrower as members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate entity, (b) shall be construed to impose any liability as such on any of them or (c) shall be deemed to confer on any of them any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of the other.

6. Term. This Agreement shall continue in effect so long as the Loan Agreement remains in effect with respect to the Loans, unless this Agreement has been previously terminated in accordance with Section 7 hereof.

7. Termination. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until it has been terminated in accordance with this Section 7. The Valuation Agent may resign as Valuation Agent, or the Borrower (with the prior consent of the Lender) may, in its sole discretion, remove the Valuation Agent, with sixty (60) days’ (in the case of the Valuation Agent resigning) or thirty (30) days’ (in the case of the removal of the Valuation Agent) prior written notice to each other party hereto; provided that no

termination of this Agreement shall be effective until the Borrower shall have appointed a successor Valuation Agent that has been approved by the Lender in its sole discretion. If the Borrower shall fail to appoint a successor Valuation Agent within ninety (90) days after notice of resignation from the Valuation Agent, then the Valuation Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Valuation Agent. The indemnity provided to the resigning Valuation Agent under Section 4 shall survive its resignation under this Agreement with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent incurred or arising, or relating to events occurring, before such termination.

The Valuation Agent agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, accountants and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and be required to keep such Information confidential), (b) in response to any order, subpoena or other form of legal process issued by any court, administrative, legislative, regulatory or governmental body purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority) or otherwise required by any applicable law or regulation; provided that prior to any disclosure of such information, the Valuation Agent shall notify the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodian, the Collateral Administrator and the Lender unless prohibited by any Requirement of Law from doing so, of any proposed disclosure as far in advance of such disclosure as practicable so that such applicable party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and upon such applicable party’s request, the Valuation Agent shall take all reasonable actions to ensure that any information disclosed shall be accorded confidential treatment, (c) to any other party hereto, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 21, to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its Obligations, (f) with the written consent of the Borrower or (g) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 21 or (ii) becomes available to the Valuation Agent or any of its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, the Lender or otherwise pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereunder. UST intends, subject to applicable law, regulation or governmental order, to hold confidential all confidential information provided to it by or on behalf of any member of the General Partner Group.

For purposes of this Section 21, “Information” means all information (including any financial models (and any assumptions and inputs underlying such models), any non-publicly available information in respect of any Portfolio Investments (including holdings, CUSIP numbers and market prices thereof) and any information provided in connection with the Valuation Process) received from the General Partner, the Collateral Administrator, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodian, the Lender, the Subadvisors, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Valuation Agent on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided, that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 21 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed effective as of the day first above written.
