Each reference to Schedule 1.01(b) in this Agreement shall be to Schedule 1.01(b) as amended pursuant to this Section.

(f) Section 5.08(c)(iv) is hereby amended by (i) deleting the phrase “that is not a Noteless Assigned Loan” from the second line, and (ii) inserting the phrase “(or, in the case of a Noteless Assigned Loan (as defined in Section 5.13), cause the interest owned by such Financing Subsidiary to be evidenced by separate assignment documentation contemplated by paragraph 1(b) of Schedule 1.01(d) in the name of such Financing Subsidiary)” after the phrase “beneficially owned by the Financing Subsidiary”.

(g) Section 5.08(c)(v) is hereby amended by deleting clause (3) therein in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

(3) within four (4) Business Days after receipt of such funds, such Obligor acting in its capacity as agent or administrative agent shall distribute any such funds belonging to any Obligor to the Custodian Account (provided that if any distribution referred to in this clause (c) is not permitted by applicable bankruptcy

(h) Section 5.08(c)(vi) is hereby amended by adding the following before the word “and” at the end of such section:

“Restructured Investment” means, as of any date of determination, (a) any Portfolio Investment that has been a Defaulted Obligation within the past six months, (b) any Portfolio Investment that has in the past six months been on cash non-accrual, or (c) any Portfolio Investment that has in the past six months been amended or subject to a deferral or waiver if both (i) the effect of such amendment, deferral or waiver is either, among other things, to (1) change the amount of previously required scheduled debt amortization (other than by reason of repayment thereof) or (2) extend the tenor of previously required scheduled debt amortization, in each case such that the remaining weighted average life of such Portfolio Investment is extended by more than 20% and (ii) the reason for such amendment, deferral or waiver is related to the deterioration of the credit profile of the underlying borrower such that, in the absence of such amendment, deferral or waiver, it is reasonably expected by the Borrower that such underlying borrower either (x) will not be able to make any such previously required scheduled debt amortization payment or (y) is anticipated to incur a breach of a material financial covenant.

(k) Paragraph 1(a) of Schedule 1.01(d) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(a) if a debt investment other than a Noteless Assigned Loan, (x) such Portfolio Investment is evidenced by an original promissory note registered in the name of an Obligor and delivered to the Custodian or the Collateral Agent and (y) all documentation evidencing or otherwise relating to such Portfolio Investment has been duly authorized and executed, is in full force and effect and is the legal, binding and enforceable obligation of the parties thereto and copies thereof (and in the case of the promissory note, the original) have been delivered to the Custodian or the Collateral Agent; provided, that with respect to clause (x) above and solely in the case of Portfolio Investments in which the Collateral Agent has a first-priority perfected security interest pursuant to a valid Uniform Commercial Code filing (a) the Borrower shall have up to 10 Business Days following the acquisition of a Portfolio Investment to deliver an original promissory note with respect to such Portfolio Investment to the Custodian or the Collateral Agent; and (b) as a result of the syndication, sale, transfer, assignment or exchange of a portion of a Portfolio Investment the Borrower shall have up to 20 Business Days to return, transfer, assign or exchange any promissory note with respect to such Portfolio Investment and deliver new or additional promissory notes to the Custodian or the Collateral Agent as required above (each an “Undelivered Note”) (it being understood that during the time periods in clauses (a) and (b) above only the portion of such Portfolio Investment that has not been syndicated, sold, transferred, assigned or exchanged shall satisfy the criteria specified in paragraph 1(a)(x)), provided, further that (i) any portion of the Borrowing Base that consists of an Eligible Portfolio Investment that is an Undelivered Note shall be identified as such in any Borrowing Base Certificate and (ii) at no time may the aggregate amount of Undelivered Notes included in the Borrowing Base constitute more than 10% of the Portfolio Investments included in the Borrowing Base.

(l) Paragraph 8 of Schedule 1.01(d) is hereby amended by adding the following after the words “the Collateral Agent is holding” and before the words “the documents evidencing” in clause (y):

(but only to the extent required to be delivered pursuant to paragraph 1)
