On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, from time to time from the Closing Date until the end of the Revolving Period, the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) may request that the Lenders make Advances secured by the Collateral, in an aggregate amount up to the Availability as of such date, to the Borrower for the purposes permitted herein. Under no circumstances shall any Lender be required to make any Advance if after giving effect to such Advance and the addition to the Collateral of the Eligible Loan Assets being acquired by the Borrower using the proceeds of such Advance, (i) an Event of Default exists or would result therefrom or an Unmatured Event of Default exists or would result therefrom or (ii) a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would result therefrom (and, as applicable for each such Eligible Currency, Advances Outstanding shall exceed any of the Borrowing Base (AUD), the Borrowing Base (CAD), the Borrowing Base (DKK), the Borrowing Base (EUR), the Borrowing Base (GBP), the Borrowing Base (NOK), the Borrowing Base (NZD) or the Borrowing Base (SEK)).

Person for any reason. Each Advance and I/O Notional Loan shall accrue interest at the applicable Yield Rate for its Eligible Currency for each day during each applicable Remittance Period. All computations of interest and all computations with

on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days and the actual number of days
elapsed.. Each Advance shall accrue interest at the Yield Rate for each day beginning on, and including, the
Advance Date with respect to such Advance and ending on, but excluding, the date such Advance is repaid in full. Yield on the I/O Notional Loan due on each Distribution Date shall be equal to the applicable interest due thereon with respect to each
such Distribution Date, which I/O Notional Loan shall accrue interest at the Yield Rate for each day during the Remittance Period.
(b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of Yield or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be.

(e) In the event that any Affected Party shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Party to make any purchase or loan or maintain any purchase or loan) as a result of any Advance not being made in accordance with a request therefor under Section 2.02, then, on the Payment Date following written notice from such Affected Party to the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party, the amount of such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower.

and under any other Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without requiring any amendment to, or requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document.
(ii)
(d)
Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation ofor administration of Term SOFR or a Benchmark Replacement (Dollar), the
Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark

-193-
(iv) Benchmark Replacement (Non-Dollar). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent determines, that a Benchmark Transition Event has arisen with respect to any Benchmark other than the Benchmark (Dollar), then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may designate a new benchmark rate (which may include spread adjustments applicable to such rate or any rate based on such rate) to be used to calculate such Benchmark, which benchmark rate may be (i) a comparable successor rate that, at such time, is broadly accepted by the U.S. syndicated loan market for loans denominated the applicable currency (as applicable) in lieu of the then-applicable Benchmark for such currency or (ii) such other benchmark rate designated by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrower. Except as set forth in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the designation of such alternative benchmark rate shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. If (x) the circumstances described in clause (i) or clause (ii) above have arisen and (y) the Benchmark for such currency cannot be determined for such Remittance Period in accordance with the definition of the applicable Benchmark, then until an alternate benchmark rate shall be determined in accordance with this paragraph, for any Advance denominated in such currency, the Benchmark shall be equal to the benchmark for the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds in such currency (as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent by written notice to the Borrower).
Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Sectionsthis
Section 12.01(c)-(e),
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 the Administrative Agent’’s sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to Sections 12.01(c)-(e) hereof.
(d) Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to clause (c), if, on or prior to the first day of any Remittance Period for any SOFR Advance:
(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or
(ii) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Advance or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Remittance Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Advance, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent
the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and each Lender.
-194-
Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Advances, and any right of the Borrower to continue or convert SOFR Advances, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advances or affected Remittance Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (ii), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, or continuation of SOFR Advances (to the extent of the affected SOFR Advances or affected Remittance Periods). Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.10(f).
