(b) 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”.

(c) 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 law to be made within such four-Business Day period as a result of the bankruptcy of the underlying borrower, such Obligor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain permission to make such distribution and shall make such distribution as soon as legally permitted to do so);

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

provided, further, that 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 Collateral Agent or Custodian; and (b) the Borrower shall have up to 20 Business Days to return, transfer, assign or exchange any promissory note with respect to a Portfolio Investment in order to have new or additional notes issued in connection with the syndication, sale, transfer, assignment or exchange of a portion of such Portfolio Investment;

(e) The definition of “Noteless Assigned Loan” in Section 5.13 is hereby amended by adding the following at the end of such definition:

provided that, any portion of the Collateral Base that consists of an Eligible Portfolio Investment that is a Noteless Assigned Loan shall be identified as such in any Collateral Base Certificate.

(f) The definition of “Restructured Investment” in Section 5.13 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“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

2

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.

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

(h) 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):
