(ii) the Company shall promptly, and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after a Below Investment Grade Event has occurred, notify the holders of the Notes in writing, sent in the manner provided in Section 18, that a Below Investment Grade Event has occurred and confirming the effective date of the Below Investment Grade Event and that the Below Investment Grade Adjusted Interest Rate will accrue from the date on which such Below Investment Grade Event shall have occurred and will be payable on each subsequent interest payment date until such Below Investment Grade Event is no longer continuing in consequence thereof.

the case may be). For the avoidance of doubt, the Below Investment Grade Adjusted Interest Rate shall not apply unless and until a Below Investment Grade Event has occurred.

(f) As used herein, a “Below Investment Grade Event” shall occur if:

(i) at any time the Company has obtained a Debt Rating from only one Acceptable Rating Agency, the then most recent Debt Rating received from such Acceptable Rating Agency that is in full force and effect (not having been withdrawn) is below Investment Grade;

(ii) at any time the Company has obtained a Debt Rating from two Acceptable Rating Agencies, the then lower of the most recent Debt Ratings received from the Acceptable Rating Agencies that are in full force and effect (not having been withdrawn) is below Investment Grade;

(iii) at any time the Company has obtained a Debt Rating from three or more Acceptable Rating Agencies, the then second lowest of the most recent Debt Ratings received from the Acceptable Rating Agencies that is in full force and effect (not having been withdrawn) is below Investment Grade (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, if two or more of the most recent Debt Ratings are equal or equivalent to the lowest such Debt Rating, then one of such equal or equivalent Debt Ratings will be deemed to be the second lowest Debt Rating for purposes of such determination); or

(h) As used herein, “Secured Debt Ratio Adjusted Interest Rate” means the interest rate per annum which is 1.50% above the rate of interest then in effect on the applicable Notes (or the Default Rate based on the rate of interest then in effect on the applicable Notes, as the case may be).

Period			Secured Debt Percentage
From the Execution Date to but not including September 30, 2024			60%
At any time on or after September 30, 2024			55%

For the avoidance of doubt, the Secured Debt Ratio Event shall end immediately upon the Secured Debt Ratio (as evidenced by the receipt and delivery to the holders of the Notes of a certificate from a Senior Financial Officer of the Company certifying that such Secured Debt Ratio Event has been cured), within the period specified in the chart above, being less than or equal to the percentage set forth opposite such period above (provided that the Secured Debt Ratio is in fact less than or equal to the applicable percentage). Upon the end of the Secured Debt Ratio Event, the applicable interest rate shall automatically return to the stated interest rate for the Notes or, if applicable, the Below Investment Grade Adjusted Interest Rate (or the Default Rate based on the applicable interest rate for the Notes, as the case may be).

(j) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to a Series of Notes, such Series of Notes shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

Section 1.3. Interest Rate.

(a) The Fixed Rate Notes shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) on the unpaid principal thereof from the date of issuance at their respective stated rate of interest, as may be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.2, payable semiannually on each Payment Date and at maturity, until such principal sum shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity, upon notice of prepayment or otherwise) and, to the extent permitted by law, at the applicable Default Rate on overdue payment of interest and, during the continuance of an Event of Default, on such unpaid balance and on any overdue payment of any Make-Whole Amount until paid.

(b) The Floating Rate Notes shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) on the unpaid principal balance thereof from the date of issuance at a floating rate equal to the Adjusted SOFR Rate from time to time applicable to the Floating Rate Notes, as may be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.2, payable semiannually or quarterly, as set forth in the applicable Supplement, on each Payment Date and at maturity, until the unpaid principal balance thereof shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity, upon notice of prepayment or otherwise) and, to the extent permitted by law, at the applicable Default Rate on overdue payment of interest and, during the continuance of an Event of Default, on such unpaid balance and on any overdue payment of any applicable Prepayment Settlement Amount and Breakage Amount until paid.

(c) For each Floating Interest Period, the Adjusted SOFR Rate applicable to the Floating Rate Notes shall be determined by the Investment Adviser on the Floating Interest Rate Determination Date, and notice of the Adjusted SOFR Rate shall be given to the holders of the Floating Rate Notes on such day, together with a copy of the relevant screen used for the determination of Term SOFR, a calculation of the Adjusted SOFR Rate for such Floating Interest Period in reasonable detail, the number of days in such Floating Interest Period and the date on which interest for such Floating Interest Period will be paid in accordance with Section 1.3(b) hereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the rate of interest applicable to the unpaid principal balance of the Notes of any series will in no event be higher than the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If a holder shall receive any payment of interest on any Note in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the unpaid principal of the applicable Note or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Company.

Section 1.4. Benchmark Replacement for Floating Rate Notes.

(a) Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement.

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Company (with the consent or agreement of the Floating Rate Required Holders, if applicable) pursuant to this Section 1.4(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 1.4(c).

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Company in its reasonable discretion, or (B) the administration of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Company, with the consent of the Floating Rate Required Holders, may modify the definition of “Floating Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor; provided that the Floating Rate Required Holders shall be deemed to have consented to any such modification unless they shall object thereto by written notice to the Company within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Company, with the consent of the Floating Rate Required Holders, may modify the definition of “Floating Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor; provided that the Floating Rate Required Holders shall be deemed to have consented to any such modification unless they shall object thereto by written notice to the Company within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof.

discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

In the event of the payment of any principal of any Floating Rate Note other than on the last day of a Floating Interest Period therefor, the Company shall compensate each affected holder of Notes for such holder’s actual loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (excluding loss of anticipated profits) (such amount, the “Breakage Amount”). Payments of any Breakage Amount shall be made upon written request of a holder of Notes delivered to the Company not later than ten (10) Business Days following a payment, conversion, or failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay that gives rise to a claim for a payment of any Breakage Amount accompanied by a written certificate of such holder setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of the amount or amounts that such holder is entitled to receive, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 8.3. Allocation of Partial Prepayments. Subject to Section 8.2(d), in the case of each partial prepayment of any Series or tranche(s) of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of: (a) the Series and/or tranche(s) of Fixed Rate Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Fixed Rate Notes of such Series and/or tranche(s) being prepaid at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment; and (b) the Series and/or tranche(s) of Floating Rate Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Floating Rate Notes of such Series and/or tranche(s) being prepaid at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 8.2(d), and for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may optionally prepay any tranche of Series A Notes without the allocation of such prepayment among all of the Notes at the time outstanding, if the Tranche A Notes are paid in full at any time on or after December 19, 2026 or the Tranche B Notes are paid in full at any time on or after September 19, 2028.

AG Twin Brook Capital Income Fund						Master Note Purchase Agreement

Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.5. Purchase of Notes. The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of such Notes in accordance with this Agreement and such Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes in any tranche(s) or Series at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 10 Business Days. If the holders of more than 25% of the principal amount of such Notes in such Series or tranche(s) then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of Notes in such Series or tranche(s) of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of such Notes in such Series or tranche(s) of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least 5 Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all such Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate after the date of the Closing pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of such Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, no Make-Whole Amount or Prepayment Settlement Amount shall be owed in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 8.5(b) unless offered by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything contained in this Section to the contrary, if and so long as any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any offer to purchase the Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.5 shall be allocated among all of the Notes of all Series and tranches at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof.

Section 8.6. Make-Whole Amount; Prepayment Settlement Amount.

The term “Prepayment Settlement Amount” is set forth in the applicable Supplement with respect to any Additional Notes that are Floating Rate Notes.

The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Fixed Rate Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Fixed Rate Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Fixed Rate Note, the principal of such Fixed Rate Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Fixed Rate Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with

-31-


AG Twin Brook Capital Income Fund						Master Note Purchase Agreement

respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Fixed Rate Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Fixed Rate Note, the sum of (a) 0.50% plus (b) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (i) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (ii) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Fixed Rate Note.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Fixed Rate Note, the sum of (x) 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Fixed Rate Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and

-32-


AG Twin Brook Capital Income Fund						Master Note Purchase Agreement

calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Fixed Rate Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Fixed Rate Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Fixed Rate Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.7. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) except as set forth in clause (y), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (y) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or Prepayment Settlement Amount, as applicable, on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

Section 8.8. Change in Control.

(a) Notice of Change in Control. The Company will, within 15 Business Days after any Responsible Officer has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change in Control, give written notice of such Change in Control to each holder of Notes. Such notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay Notes as described in subparagraph (b) of this Section 8.8 and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in subparagraph (e) of this Section 8.8.

(b) Offer to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by subparagraph (a) of this Section 8.8 shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.8, all, but not less than all, the Notes held by each holder (in this case only, “holder” in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such beneficial owner) on a date specified in such offer (the “Section 8.8 Proposed Prepayment Date”). Such date shall be not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such offer (if the Section 8.8 Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Section 8.8 Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the first Business Day after the 45th day after the date of such offer).

-33-


AG Twin Brook Capital Income Fund						Master Note Purchase Agreement

(c) Acceptance/Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.8 by causing a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company not later than 15 Business Days after receipt by such holder of the most recent offer of prepayment. A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall be deemed to constitute rejection of such offer by such holder.

(d) Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with interest on such Notes accrued to, but excluding, the date of prepayment, and including any applicable Breakage Amount, but without Make-Whole Amount, Prepayment Settlement Amount or other premium.

(e) Officer’s Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.8 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer of the Company and dated the date of such offer, specifying: (i) the Section 8.8 Proposed Prepayment Date; (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.8; (iii) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid; (iv) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to, but excluding, the Section 8.8 Proposed Prepayment Date; (v) that the conditions of this Section 8.8 have been fulfilled; and (vi) in reasonable detail, the nature and date of the Change in Control.

(f) Definitions.

“Change in Control” means the occurrence of (a) the Company ceases to be advised by the Investment Adviser or an Affiliate thereof; or (b) the Investment Adviser (or such Affiliate thereof that advises the Company) shall fail to be a direct or indirect Subsidiary of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Co., L.P. or an Affiliate thereof.

Section 9.3. Maintenance of Properties. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries) to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section 9.3 shall not prevent the Company or any Subsidiary (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries) from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Company has concluded that such discontinuance would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.6. Books and Records. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

(ii) deliver the following to each holder of a Note:

(A) an executed counterpart of such Subsidiary Guaranty or a joinder thereto;

(B) a certificate signed by an authorized responsible officer of such Subsidiary containing representations and warranties on behalf of such Subsidiary to the same effect, mutatis mutandis, as those contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.6 and 5.7 of this Agreement (but with respect to such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary Guaranty rather than the Company);

(C) all documents as may be reasonably requested by the Required Holders to evidence the due organization, continuing existence and, where applicable, good standing of such Subsidiary and the due authorization by all requisite action on the part of such Subsidiary of the execution and delivery of such Subsidiary Guaranty and the performance by such Subsidiary of its obligations thereunder; and

(b) At the election of the Company and by written notice to each holder of Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantor may be discharged from all of its obligations and liabilities under its Subsidiary Guaranty and shall be automatically released from its obligations thereunder without the need for the execution or delivery of any other document by the holders, provided that (i) if such Subsidiary Guarantor is a guarantor or is otherwise liable for or in respect of any Material Credit Facility, then such Subsidiary Guarantor has been released and discharged (or will be released and discharged concurrently with the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guaranty) under such Material Credit Facility, (ii) at the time of, and after giving effect to, such release and discharge, no Event of Default shall be existing, (iii) no amount is then due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor under such Subsidiary Guaranty, (iv) if in connection with such Subsidiary Guarantor being released and discharged under any Material Credit Facility (other than in connection with a sale of such Subsidiary or its Equity Interests), any fee or other form of consideration is given to any holder of Indebtedness under such Material Credit Facility for such release, the holders of the Notes shall receive equivalent consideration (determined in the case of a fee as an equivalent proportion of outstanding commitments or principal amount as applicable) substantially concurrently therewith and (v) each holder shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying as to the matters set forth in clauses (i) through (iv).

Section 9.9. Most Favored Lender. (a) If a Specified Credit Facility shall include any MFL Financial Covenant or MFL Cure Right Provision and (i) such MFL Financial Covenant is not contained in this Agreement or (ii) such MFL Financial Covenant or MFL Cure Right Provision would be more beneficial to the holders of Notes than any analogous restriction, event of default, cure right or provision and related defined terms contained in this Agreement (any such restriction, event of default, cure right or provision, and related defined terms, an “Additional Covenant”), then the Company shall provide a Most Favored Lender Notice to the holders of Notes; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the foregoing, the absence of an MFL Cure Right Provision in a Specified Credit Facility that has financial covenants that are the same as the financial covenants set forth in Section 10.7 (and have the same related definitions) would be more beneficial to the holders of Notes. Thereupon, unless

-37-


AG Twin Brook Capital Income Fund						Master Note Purchase Agreement

waived in writing by the Required Holders within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice by the holders of the Notes, such Additional Covenant (including any associated cure or grace period and related defined terms) shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference into this Agreement, or in the case of the absence of an MFL Cure Right Provision in a Specified Credit Facility that has financial covenants that are the same as the financial covenants set forth in Section 10.7 (and have the same related definitions), the Cure Right set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed automatically removed from this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth fully herein or so removed, without any further action required on the part of any Person, effective as of the date when such Additional Covenant became effective under such Specified Credit Facility. Thereafter, upon the request of any holder of a Note, the Company shall enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement reasonably requested by such holder evidencing any of the foregoing.

(b) Any Additional Covenant (including any associated cure right, cure period and any associated defined term and all qualifications, limitations and exceptions thereto) incorporated into this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.9 (herein referred to as an “Incorporated Covenant”) (i) shall be deemed automatically amended herein to reflect any subsequent waivers, supplements, modifications or amendments made to such Additional Covenant (including any associated cure right, cure period or grace period and any associated defined terms and all qualifications, limitations and exceptions thereto) under the Specified Credit Facility that contains the relevant Additional Covenant; provided that if any Default or Event of Default then exists (including in respect of such Incorporated Covenant) and the amendment of such Additional Covenant would result in such Additional Covenant being less restrictive on the Company, such Incorporated Covenant shall only be deemed automatically amended at such time as no Default or Event of Default then exists and (ii) shall be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time as such Additional Covenant is deleted or otherwise removed from the Specified Credit Facility, including if the Specified Credit Facility is terminated or otherwise no longer in effect; provided that, if a Default or an Event of Default then exists (including in respect of such Incorporated Covenant), such Incorporated Covenant shall only be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time as no Default or Event of Default then exists; provided further, however, that in the case of both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if any fee or other consideration shall be given to the lenders under such Specified Credit Facility for such amendment or deletion, the equivalent of such fee or other consideration (determined in the case of a fee as an equivalent proportion of outstanding commitments or principal amount, as applicable) shall be given, pro rata, to the holders of the Notes. Upon the request of the Company, the holders of Notes shall (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement requested by the Company evidencing the waiver, supplement, modification or amendment or deletion of any such Incorporated Covenant in accordance with the terms hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, no covenant, definition or default expressly set forth in this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement (or incorporated into this Agreement by an amendment or modification to this Agreement other than pursuant to this Section 9.9) shall be deemed to be amended or deleted in any manner to be less restrictive on the Company by virtue of the provisions of this Section 9.9.

In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder or any Additional Purchaser in any Supplement and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser or Additional Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser or Additional Purchaser, as the case may be, and such original Purchaser or Additional Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

SECTION 22. MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 22.1. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement (including all covenants and other agreements contained in any Supplement) by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not, except that, subject to Section 10.2, the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes without the prior written consent of each holder. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 22.2. Accounting Terms. (a) All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement (including Section 9, Section 10, the definition of “Indebtedness” and any Incorporated Covenant), any election by the Company to measure any financial liability using fair value (as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 000-00-00 – Fair Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made.

-59-


AG Twin Brook Capital Income Fund						Master Note Purchase Agreement

(b) If the Company notifies the holders of the Notes that the Company requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date of the Closing in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if a holder of the Notes notifies the Company that the Required Holders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof then the Company and the holders of the Notes agree to enter into negotiations in good faith in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such change to comply with GAAP with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Company’s financial condition shall be the same after such change to comply with GAAP as if such change had not been made; provided, however, until such amendments to equitably reflect such changes are effective and agreed to by the Company and the Required Holders (or until such notice shall have been withdrawn), the Company’s compliance with such financial covenants shall be determined on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change in GAAP becomes effective.

(c) All leases that are or would have been treated as operating leases for purposes of GAAP prior to the issuance on February 25, 2016 of the Accounting Standards Update (the “ASU”) shall continue to be accounted for as operating leases for purposes of all financial definitions and calculations for the purposes of this Agreement (whether or not such operating lease obligations were in effect on such date) notwithstanding the fact that such obligations are required in accordance with the ASU (on a prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) to be treated as capitalized lease obligations in the financial statements to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 22.3. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 22.4. Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

Defined terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments,

supplements or modifications set forth herein) and, for purposes of the Notes, shall also include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13, (b) subject to Section 22.1, any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Sections and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Sections of, and Schedules to, this Agreement, and (e) any reference to any law or regulation herein shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

Except as otherwise specified herein, if the payment of any obligation or the performance of any action, covenant, duty or obligation under this Agreement is stated to be due or performed on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

Section 22.5. Counterparts; Electronic Contracting. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. The parties agree to electronic contracting and signatures with respect to this Agreement or any Supplement and all documents relating thereto (other than the Notes). Delivery of an electronic signature to, or a signed copy of, this Agreement and all documents relating thereto (other than the Notes) by facsimile, email or other electronic transmission shall be fully binding on the parties to the same extent as the delivery of the signed originals and shall be admissible into evidence for all purposes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Purchaser shall request manually signed counterpart signatures to any documents relating to this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to use its reasonable endeavors to provide such manually signed signature pages as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 22.6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

Section 22.7. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) The Company and each Purchaser and Additional Purchaser irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
