(b) For each Advance, the Borrower shall deliver an irrevocable written notice in the form of a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian, no later than noon on (i) the proposed Advance Date for Dollar Advances, (ii) the Funding Business Day prior to the proposed Advance Date for CAD Advances, Euro Advances and GBP Advances (or such shorter period as agreed to from time to time by the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders) and (iii) the Funding Business Day two (2) Funding Business Days prior to the proposed Advance Date for AUD Advances; provided that, if such Notice of Borrowing is delivered later than noon, in the case of an Advance made in Dollars, such Notice of Borrowing shall be deemed to have been received on the following Funding Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall include a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate (updated to the date such Advance is requested and giving pro forma effect to the Advance requested and the use of the proceeds thereof) and an updated Loan Asset Schedule, and shall specify:

(i) the proposed aggregate amount of such Advance; provided that the amount of such Advance must be at least equal to the Dollar Equivalent of $500,000 in such Eligible Currency;

(ii) the proposed date of such Advance;

(iii) a representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance described in Article III hereof have been satisfied; provided that, in connection with any Notice of Borrowing in respect of the acquisition by the Borrower of a loan asset constituting a newly originated loan, where the related Advance is to be remitted to the Principal Collection Subaccount, the conditions set forth in Section 3.02(a)(ii) shall not apply, excepting that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements set forth in the proviso of Section 3.02(a)(ii) shall apply;

(iv) the amount of cash that will be funded by the Originator into the Unfunded Exposure Account in connection with any Delayed Draw Loan Asset funded by such Advance, if applicable;

(v) whether such Advance should be remitted to the Principal Collection Subaccount, the Unfunded Exposure Account, or (subject to completion of customary “know your customer” and anti-money laundering and sanctions diligence), the account of the Originator or a Securitization Subsidiary; and

(vi) the proposed Eligible Currency of such Advance.

On the date of each Advance, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, each Lender shall, in accordance with the Notice of Borrowing, either make available to the Borrower, by (A) if the related Notice of Borrowing was delivered at least one Funding Business Day prior to such date, 2:00 p.m., New York City time, and (B) if the related Notice of Borrowing was delivered on such date, no later than the close of business on such date, (x) an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, for deposit by the Collateral Agent into the Principal Collection Subaccount or (y) an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, for deposit by the Collateral Agent into the Unfunded Exposure Account, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, each Advance and related increase in the Advances Outstanding shall be allocated ratably to each Lender in accordance with their respective Lender’s Pro Rata Share as in effect before such increase. Any Lender which fails to remit its Pro Rata Share in connection with any Advance in accordance with this Section 2.02 shall constitute a Defaulting Lender, and the Borrower shall have all rights available to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19.

(d) Subject to Section 2.16 and the other terms, conditions, provisions and limitations set forth herein (including, the payment of the Prepayment Premium, as applicable), the Borrower may borrow, repay or prepay and reborrow Advances without any penalty, fee or premium on and after the Closing Date and prior to the end of the Revolving Period.

(e) The obligation of each Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share of any Advance shall be several from that of each other Lender and the failure of any Lender to so make such amount available to the Borrower shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the existence of an Unmatured Event of Default or a Borrowing Base Deficiency), if, on the last day of the Revolving Period, the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount, the Borrower shall request an Advance in the amount of such shortfall (the “Unfunded Exposure Amount Shortfall”). Following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing (which shall specify the account details of the Unfunded Exposure Account where the funds will be made available), each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata Share of such Unfunded Exposure Amount Shortfall in accordance with Section 2.02(b), notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02) other than an Event of Default.

Section 2.03 Determination of Yield. The Administrative Agent shall determine the Yield in respect of all Advances (including unpaid Yield related thereto, if any, due and payable on a prior Payment Date) to be paid by the Borrower on each Payment Date for the related Remittance Period and shall advise the Servicer thereof on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to such Payment Date.

Section 2.04 Remittance Procedures. The Servicer shall instruct the Collateral Agent by delivery of the Servicing Report and, if the Servicer fails to do so, the Administrative Agent may instruct the Collateral Agent, to apply funds on deposit in the Controlled Accounts, subject to Pari Passu Provisions, as described in this Section 2.04; provided that, at any time after delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Collateral Agent to apply funds on deposit in the Controlled Accounts as described in this Section 2.04.

The parties further agree that amounts that may be distributed to the Borrower or the holders of any Equity Interest in the Borrower are fully subordinated and junior to the Obligations of the Borrower to the Secured Parties. In the event the Borrower is subject to a Bankruptcy Event, any claim that the Borrower or the holders of any Equity Interest in the Borrower may have with respect to such distributions shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and notwithstanding any objection to, or rescission of, such filing, be fully subordinate in right of payment to the Obligations of the Borrower to the Secured Parties.

All risk and expense incident to such conversion is the responsibility of the Borrower, and the Collateral Agent shall have (x) no responsibility for fluctuations in exchange rates affecting any Collections or conversion thereof and (y) to the extent it complies with the instructions provided by the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Standard, no liability for any losses incurred or resulting from the rates obtained in such foreign exchange transactions.

Section 2.05 Instructions to the Collateral Agent and the Account Bank. All instructions and directions given to the Collateral Agent or the Account Bank by the Servicer, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be in writing. The Servicer and the Borrower shall promptly transmit to the Administrative Agent a copy of all instructions and directions given to the Collateral Agent or the Account Bank by such party pursuant to Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to the Servicer and the Borrower a copy of all instructions and directions given to the Collateral Agent or the Account Bank by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.04. If either the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent disagrees with the computation of any amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Servicer under Section 2.04 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, or upon their respective instructions, it shall so notify the Borrower, the Servicer and the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, in writing and in reasonable detail to identify the specific disagreement. If such disagreement cannot be resolved within five (5) Business Days, the determination of the Administrative Agent as to such amounts shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto absent manifest or demonstrable error. In the event the Collateral Agent or the Account Bank receives instructions from the Servicer or the Borrower which conflict with any instructions received from the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Account Bank, as applicable, shall rely on and follow the instructions given by the Administrative Agent.

If a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists on any date of determination during the Post-Specified Period and such Borrowing Base Deficiency is greater than the Borrowing Base Deficiency in existence on the previous date of determination (any such increase in Borrowing Base Deficiency, a “Borrowing Base Deficiency Increase”), it shall be an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(j) if such Borrowing Base Deficiency has not been reduced in accordance with the provisions set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above by an amount equal to or greater than the applicable Borrowing Base Deficiency Increase within three (3) Business Days of such later date of determination. If a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists after the expiration of the Post-Specified Period, it shall be an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(j) if it has not been remedied in accordance with the provisions set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above.

(c) If any Advance requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 is not for any reason whatsoever, except as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or failure to fund such Advance on the part of, the Lenders, made or effectuated, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify such Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender related thereto, including, any loss (including cost of funds and out-of-pocket expenses), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund Advances or maintain the Advances.

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to or impose a cost upon such Affected Party of funding or making or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance or otherwise performing its obligations under the Transaction Documents or to increase the cost to such Affected Party or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Party, whether of principal, interest or otherwise or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interest or loans received or held by such Affected Party, then the Borrower will pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Affected Party determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Party’s capital or on the capital of Affected Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Advances made by such Affected Party to a level below that which such Affected Party or Affected Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Party’s policies and the policies of such Affected Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), the Borrower will pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party or Affected Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered on the immediately following Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.04 to the extent of available funds.

(d) If a Currency Disruption Event as described in clause (a) of the definition of “Currency Disruption Event” with respect to any Lender occurred, such Lender shall in turn so notify the Borrower, whereupon the Yield Rate with respect to all Advances Outstanding of the affected Lender denominated in the affected Eligible Currency shall accrue Yield at the ~~Designated Base Rate~~Benchmark plus the Applicable Margin.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of any Affected Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Affected Party pursuant to this Section 2.10 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred and eighty (180)-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(f) 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 immediately following 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, pursuant to Section 2.04 (to the extent of available funds). Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower.

If any Taxes are required by Applicable Law to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Recipient, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the amount payable by the Borrower to such Person will be increased as necessary (the amount of such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that every net payment made under this Agreement after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes (including, any Taxes on such increase) is not less than the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) The Borrower or Servicer shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent or a Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrower, the Servicer and the Originator shall pay (i) with respect to the Borrower, on the Payment Date pertaining to the Remittance Period in which such cost is incurred and (ii) with respect to the Servicer and the Originator, on demand, in each case, any and all stamp, sales, excise and other Taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable to any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other document providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to the Lenders in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder.

All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within ten (10) days from the date a written demand therefor is delivered to the Borrower. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.11(e).

(f) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by the Borrower or by the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower of any Taxes, the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, will furnish to the Administrative Agent at the applicable address set forth on this Agreement, appropriate evidence of payment thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.11(g)(i), (ii) and (iii)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

d. to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 or Exhibit L-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iv) If any Lender is not a United States Tax Person, such Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.11(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11(h), in no event will the indemnified party by required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.11(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position that the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or Additional Amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

(vi) after giving effect to such release of the applicable Securitization Subsidiary Collateral Portfolio and the deposit into the Borrower Collection Account in connection therewith and any payments of Advances Outstanding expected to be made in connection with the closing of the Securitization, no Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist; and

(vii) the Borrower and the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) shall agree to pay the legal fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian in connection with any such release.

The Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall, at the sole expense of the Servicer and at the direction of the Administrative Agent, execute such documents and instruments of release as may be prepared by the Servicer on behalf of applicable Securitization Subsidiary, give notice of such release to the Collateral Custodian (in the form of Exhibit J) (unless the Collateral Custodian and Collateral Agent are the same Person) and take other such actions (including consenting to a UCC-3 termination for the relevant Securitization Subsidiary, as applicable) as shall reasonably be requested by the applicable Securitization Subsidiary to effect such release of the Lien in such Securitization Subsidiary Collateral Portfolio created pursuant to this Agreement (which release shall be effective simultaneously with the closing of the relevant Securitization) and to evidence that such Securitization Subsidiary is no longer party to this Agreement. Upon receiving such notification by the Collateral Agent as described in the immediately preceding sentence, if applicable, the Collateral Custodian shall deliver the Required Loan Documents to the applicable Securitization Subsidiary or any trustee or collateral administrator of such Securitization Subsidiary, as applicable, as directed by the Servicer.

Section 2.15 Treatment of Amounts Received by any Loan Party. Amounts received by any Loan Party pursuant to Section 2.07 on account of Loan Assets (other than Non-Levered Loan Assets) shall be treated as payments of Principal Collections or Interest Collections, as applicable, on Loan Assets hereunder.

Section 2.16 Prepayment; Termination; Reduction.

(a) Except as expressly permitted or required herein, including any repayment necessary to cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency, Advances Outstanding in any Eligible Currency may only be prepaid in whole or in part at the option of the Borrower at any time by delivering a Notice of Reduction (which notice shall include a Borrowing Base Certificate) to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to such prepayment; provided that any prepayment of Advances in an Eligible Currency other than Dollars shall be made by converting such prepayment into the applicable Eligible Currency at the Spot Rate to the extent sufficient funds have not been remitted in such Eligible Currency. In the event that an Advance is remitted to the Principal Collection Subaccount in connection with a Notice of Borrowing in respect of the acquisition by the Borrower of a loan asset constituting a newly originated loan and such loan asset is not acquired by the Borrower within two (2) Business Days of the date of such Advance, the Servicer shall cause the Borrower to effect a prepayment in an amount equal to such Advance within two (2) Business Days of such Advance. The Borrower may use amounts on deposit in the Contribution Account at any time for purposes of making a prepayment of Advances Outstanding. Upon any prepayment in full, the Borrower shall also pay in full all accrued and unpaid Yield. Upon any prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay any Breakage Fees, Increased Costs and all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and Lenders related to such prepayment; provided that no reduction in Advances Outstanding shall be given effect unless (i) sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all such amounts in full, as determined by the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion and (ii) no event has occurred or would result from such prepayment which would constitute an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall apply amounts received from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) to the payment of any Breakage Fees and to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding. Any notice relating to any repayment pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) shall be irrevocable.

(b) The Borrower may, at its option and upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of such termination or permanent reduction in the form of Exhibit F to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, either (i) terminate this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents upon payment in full of all Advances Outstanding, all accrued and unpaid Yield and Fees, any Breakage Fees, Increased Costs, all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and Lenders, payment of the Prepayment Premium pro rata to each Lender and payment of all other Obligations (other than unmatured contingent obligations for which no claim has been made), or (ii) permanently reduce in part the Facility Amount upon payment in full, all accrued and unpaid Yield and Unused Fees (pro rata with respect to the portion of the Facility Amount so reduced), any Breakage Fees, Increased Costs, all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and Lenders and the Prepayment Premium pro rata to each Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Prepayment Premium shall be due (i) to any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, (ii) to the Administrative Agent as a lender if the Administrative Agent has previously resigned as Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) during the continuation of a Non-Approval Event, and (iv) following the occurrence of a Currency Disruption Event ~~and (v) if at any time the Servicer does not consent to the Alternative Rate and, upon payment in full of all Obligations hereunder, terminates the Transaction Documents~~. The Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (prior to giving effect to any reduction of Commitments hereunder) of the aggregate amount of any reduction under this Section 2.16(b).

(c) The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Prepayment Premium constitutes additional consideration for the Lenders to enter into this Agreement.

Section 2.17 Collections and Allocations.

(a) The Collateral Agent shall promptly identify all Available Collections received in the Collection Account as being on account of Interest Collections or Principal Collections and shall segregate all Interest Collections and Principal Collections and transfer the same to the Interest Collection Subaccount and the Principal Collection Subaccount, respectively. If, notwithstanding such compliance, the Servicer receives any collections directly, the Servicer (upon obtaining knowledge thereof) shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, any such collections received directly by it (if any) to the Collection Account by the close of business within two (2) Business Days after obtaining knowledge of the receipt of such Collections; provided that the Servicer shall identify to the Collateral Agent any collections received directly by the Servicer as being on account of Interest Collections or Principal Collections. The Collateral Agent shall further provide to the Servicer a statement as to the amount of Interest Collections and Principal Collections on deposit in the Interest Collection Subaccount and the Principal Collection Subaccount no later than three (3) Business Days prior to each Reporting Date for inclusion in the Servicing Report delivered pursuant to Section 6.08(b).

(b) On the Cut-Off Date with respect to any Loan Asset, the Servicer will (i) deposit or will cause the Borrower to deposit into the Collection Account all Available Collections denominated in Dollars received in respect of Eligible Loan Assets being transferred to and included as part of the Collateral on such date and (ii) deposit or will cause the Borrower to deposit into the applicable Eligible Currency Account all Available Collections not denominated in Dollars received in respect of Eligible Loan Assets being transferred to and included as part of the Collateral on such date. The Servicer may, on any date, instruct the Account Bank to convert funds on deposit in any or all Eligible Currency Accounts into Dollars using the Spot Rate. Such converted funds shall then be transferred into the Collection Account.

(c) With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (a copy of which will be provided by the Servicer to the Collateral Agent), the Servicer may withdraw from the Collection Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Servicer has, prior to such withdrawal and consent, delivered to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.

(d) Prior to the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Servicer shall, pursuant to written instruction (which may be in the form of standing instructions), direct the Collateral Agent to invest, or cause the investment of, funds on deposit in the Controlled Accounts in Permitted Investments, from the date of this Agreement until the Collection Date. Absent any such written instruction, such funds shall be invested in the Standby Investment. A Permitted Investment acquired with funds deposited in any Controlled Account shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding any Payment Date, and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Account Bank or its nominee for the benefit of the Collateral Agent. All income and gain realized from any such investment, as well as any interest earned on deposits in any Controlled Account shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Article II hereof. The Borrower shall deposit in the Collection Account or the Unfunded Exposure Account, as the case may be (with respect to investments made hereunder of funds held therein), an amount equal to the amount of any actual loss incurred, in respect of any such investment, immediately upon realization of such loss. None of the Account Bank, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be liable for the amount of any loss incurred, in respect of any investment, or lack of investment, of funds held in any Controlled Account. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, a Lender or any of their respective Affiliates may receive compensation with respect to the Permitted Investments. The Servicer shall, pursuant to written instruction (which may be in the form of standing instructions), direct the Collateral Agent to invest, or cause the investment of, funds on deposit in the Contribution Account in Permitted Investments, from the Closing Date until the Collection Date. Absent any such written instruction, such funds shall not be invested.

(e) Until the Collection Date, neither the Borrower nor the Servicer shall have any rights of direction or withdrawal, with respect to amounts held in any Controlled Account, except to the extent explicitly set forth in Section 2.04, Section 2.17(c) or Section 2.18.

(f) Eligible Currency.

(i) Subject to the Pari Passu Provisions, any and all payments made by the Borrower under the Transaction Documents shall be made in the applicable Eligible Currency, as follows: (A) repayment of Advances in an Eligible Currency other than Dollars shall be made in the corresponding Eligible Currency, and (B) payment of interest on the Advances in an Eligible Currency other than Dollars shall be made in the corresponding Eligible Currency. Each party hereto agrees that the Available Collections and all such other amounts described in Section 2.04(a), Section 2.04(b) and Section 2.04(c) shall be applied in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.04(a), Section 2.04(b) and Section 2.04(c). The Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby instruct the Collateral Agent to apply the Available Collections and all such other amounts described in Section 2.04(a), Section 2.04(b) and Section 2.04(c) in accordance with Section 2.04(a), Section 2.04(b) and Section 2.04(c); provided that such payments shall be subject to availability of such funds pursuant to Section 2.04(a), Section 2.04(b) and Section 2.04(c).

(ii) The Servicer shall instruct the Collateral Agent, on the Determination Date immediately preceding each Payment Date, to convert amounts on deposit in the Collection Account into each Eligible Currency to the extent necessary to make payments pursuant to Section 2.04(a), Section 2.04(b) and Section 2.04(c), as applicable (as determined by the Servicer using the Spot Rate). The Borrower may receive collections on Non-Levered Loan Assets in currencies other than Eligible Currencies and deposit such funds into the Contribution Account and distribute funds in such other currencies, in each case, to the extent such amounts are not required to be deposited into the Collection Account in accordance herewith.

(iii) Any Available Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount denominated in an Eligible Currency may be converted by the Servicer into another Eligible Currency on any Business Day (other than a Payment Date) using the Spot Rate so long as (A) no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists after giving effect to such conversion, and (B) the converted amounts are used solely for purposes of acquiring a Loan denominated in such other Eligible Currency pursuant to Section 2.18. The Servicer shall provide no less than one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent of any such conversion.

Section 2.18 Reinvestment of Principal Collections.

On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth as certified in writing to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent, prior to the end of the Revolving Period, the Servicer may, to the extent of any Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount:

(a) direct the Collateral Agent to withdraw such funds for the purpose of reinvesting in additional Eligible Loan Assets to be Granted hereunder; provided that the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) all conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 and Section 3.04 have been satisfied;

(ii) no Event of Default has occurred, or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment, and no Unmatured Event of Default exists or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment;

(iii) delivery of a Disbursement Request executed by the Borrower and a Responsible Officer of the Servicer; or

(b) direct the Collateral Agent to withdraw such funds for the purpose of making payments in respect of the Advances Outstanding in the applicable Eligible Currency at such time in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 2.16.

Upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.18 (as certified by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent), the Collateral Agent shall release funds from the Principal Collection Subaccount as directed by the Servicer in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (x) the amount requested by the Servicer for reinvestment or repayment and (y) the amount on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount on such day.

Section 2.19 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the portion of the Loan funded by such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder and the Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders have taken or may have taken any action hereunder; provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders or Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, as applicable.

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent, and, so long as no Event of Default exists, the Borrower determines (such determination not to be unreasonably withheld) that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and the provisions of clause (a) above shall, from and after such determination, cease to be of further force or effect with respect to such Lender; provided that no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to a non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

(i) If any Lender other than Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx becomes a Defaulting Lender or a Lender other than Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx or any Affiliate thereof imposes or attempts to impose costs pursuant to Section 2.10, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon not less than five (5) Business Days advance notice to the Administrative Agent and (if different) the related Lender, (x) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.04), all of its respective interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent with respect to any assignee that is not already a Lender hereunder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (B) the assignee shall not be an Affiliate of any of the Borrower, the Servicer or the Originator and (C) such assigning Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to all outstanding Advances funded or maintained by such Lender, together with all accrued interest thereon and all accrued Fees or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the portion of the Advance held by such Lender as of such termination date, without the payment of any penalty, fee or premium. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to exist.

(ii) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.19(c)(i) above shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Lender’s applicable Commitment and outstanding portion of the Advance funded by such Lender. Pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding portion of the Advance and (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Advance and Commitments so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and under each of the Transaction Documents and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned portion of the Advance and Commitments, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assignment Lender. In connection with any such replacement, if any such Defaulting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance reflecting such replacement within three (3) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance to such Defaulting Lender, then such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance without any action on the part of the Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.20 Investment of Amounts on Deposit in Contribution Account. The Collateral Custodian shall cause the Account Bank, prior to the Closing Date, to establish a single, segregated non-interest bearing account, which shall be designated as the Contribution Account, in the name of and for the benefit of the Borrower. The Servicer may, to the extent of any amounts on deposit in the Contribution Account, withdraw such funds for the purpose of investing in Non-Levered Loan Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower, or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, shall have sole rights of withdrawal with respect to the Contribution Account, and the Account Bank shall only withdraw funds from the Contribution Account pursuant to the instructions of the Borrower or the Servicer.

Section 2.21 Incremental Facilities.

(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, elect to request, prior to the last day of the Revolving Period, an increase to the existing Commitments (any such increase, the “New Commitments”) by an amount with the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender whose Commitment is being increased thereby in their respective sole discretion and subject to any internal approvals~~, which would increase the Facility Amount to an amount greater than $250,000,000.~~; provided that, each increase shall be in a minimum of at least $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in each case, in such other amounts as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree) and the aggregate amount of all Commitments outstanding, at any given time, shall not exceed $275,000,000. Each such notice shall specify (i) the amount of the New Commitment, (ii) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Commitments shall be effective and approved in writing by the Administrative Agent and (iiiii) the identity of each Lender or other Person (each, an “Increasing Lender”) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such New Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations (if then known). Such New Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (A) no Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Commitments; (B) the New Commitments shall be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance for each existing Lender or one or more Joinder Supplements for any new Lender executed and delivered by the Borrower, such new Lender and the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register; (C) the Borrower shall pay any applicable Breakage Fees in connection with the New Commitments and shall pay any other required fees in connection with the New Commitments; (D) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other customary closing documents (substantially consistent with the documents set forth in Section 3.01) reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or an Increasing Lender in connection with any such transaction; and (E) the effectiveness of any allocation of New Commitments to a non-Lender shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

(b) On any Increased Amount Date on which New Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the existing Lenders shall assign to each of the Increasing Lenders, and each of the Increasing Lenders shall purchase from each of the existing Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Advances Outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Advances will be held by existing Lenders and Increasing Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Commitments to the Commitments, (ii) each New Commitment shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Commitment and each Advance made thereunder (a “New Advance”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, an Advance and (iii) each new Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Commitments and all matters relating thereto.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof (i) the New Commitments and the Increasing Lenders and (ii) in the case of each notice to any Lender, the respective interests in such Lender’s Advances, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.21.

The terms and provisions of the New Advances shall be identical to the Advances. Each Assignment and Acceptance or each Joinder Supplement, as applicable, may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, and consented to by the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and the Secured Parties of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer (unless replaced by a Replacement Servicer), the Originator or any Loan Party from any of their duties or responsibilities with respect to the Collateral other than with respect to any mistake, reckless act or any action or inaction undertaken in a negligent manner on the part of any of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and the Secured Parties.

(a) Each of each Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby authorizes the Servicer (including any successor thereto) to take any and all steps consistent with the Servicing Standard in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable in the determination of the Servicer and not inconsistent with the sale of the Collateral by the Originator to the Borrower or the Borrower to a Securitization Subsidiary, as applicable, under the applicable Purchase and Sale Agreement and, thereafter, the Grant by each Loan Party to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties hereunder, to collect all amounts due under any and all Collateral, including, endorsing any of their names on checks and other instruments representing Interest Collections and Principal Collections, executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral and, after the delinquency of any Collateral and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the Originator could have done if it had continued to own such Collateral. Each Loan Party, the Originator and the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall furnish the Servicer (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Servicer to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectability of the Collateral. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender a party to any litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make any Loan Party a party to any litigation (other than any routine foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s consent.

133

(b) After the declaration of the Facility Maturity Date, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, the Servicer shall take such action as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Collateral; provided that the Administrative Agent may, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notify any Obligor with respect to any Collateral of the assignment of such Collateral to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or account designated by the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may enforce collection of any such Collateral, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

(ii) In the performance of its obligations hereunder, a Loan Party (or the Servicer on its behalf) may enter into any amendment or waiver of or supplement to any Underlying Instrument, all in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that, on and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for any waiver, modification or variance that would impair the collectability of the Collateral Portfolio, increase such Loan Party’s commitment or outstanding loans thereunder or extend the maturity of any outstanding or committed loans of such Loan Party thereunder beyond the Facility Maturity Date.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Taxes and other Amounts. The Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect all payments with respect to amounts due for Taxes, assessments and insurance premiums relating to each Loan Asset to the extent required to be paid to such Loan Party for such application under the applicable Underlying Instruments and remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or insurer as required by the Underlying Instruments.

134

Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees to cause the securities intermediary that holds any money or other property for a Loan Party in a Controlled Account that is a securities account to agree with the parties hereto that (A) the cash and other property (subject to Section 6.04(f) below with respect to any property other than investment property, as defined in Section 9-102(a)(49) of the UCC) is to be treated as a Financial Asset and (B) regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, with respect to the Controlled Accounts, New York shall be deemed to be the Account Bank’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) and the securities intermediary’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC). All securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to the Controlled Accounts in the form of securities or instruments shall be registered in the name of the Account Bank or if in the name of a Loan Party or the Collateral Agent, Indorsed to the Account Bank, Indorsed in blank, or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Account Bank, and in no case will any Financial Asset credited to the Controlled Accounts be registered in the name of such Loan Party, payable to the order of such Loan Party or specially Indorsed to such Loan Party, except to the extent the foregoing have been specially Indorsed to the Account Bank or Indorsed in blank.

(f) Underlying Instruments. Notwithstanding any term hereof (or any term of the UCC that might otherwise be construed to be applicable to a “securities intermediary” as defined in the UCC) to the contrary, none of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian nor any securities intermediary shall be under any duty or obligation in connection with the acquisition by a Loan Party, or the Grant by such Loan Party to the Collateral Agent, of any Loan Asset in the nature of a loan or a participation in a loan to examine or evaluate the sufficiency of the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of such Loan Party under the related Underlying Instruments, or otherwise to examine the Underlying Instruments, in order to determine or compel compliance with any applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including any necessary consents). The Collateral Custodian shall hold any Instrument delivered to it evidencing any Loan Asset Granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder as custodial agent for the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

135

(g) Adjustments. If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Collection Account in respect of an Interest Collection or a Principal Collection of a Loan Asset and such Interest Collection or Principal Collection was received by the Servicer in the form of a check that is not honored for any reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any Interest Collection or Principal Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Interest Collection or Principal Collection, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake. Any scheduled payment in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.

If any Event of Default shall have occurred, Applicable Margin shall be increased pursuant to the definition thereof, effective as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default, and shall apply on each day after the occurrence of such Event of Default.

Section 7.02 Additional Remedies of the Administrative Agent.

(a) If, upon the declaration or automatic occurrence of the Facility Maturity Date (including, the date on which the Facility Maturity Date is declared (or is deemed to have occurred automatically) pursuant to Section 7.01), the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances Outstanding, all accrued and unpaid Fees and Yield and any other Obligations are not immediately paid in full, then the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent, in addition to all other rights specified hereunder, shall have the right, in its own name and as agent for the Lenders, to immediately sell (at the Borrower’s expense) in a commercially reasonable manner, in a recognized market (if one exists) at such price or prices as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all of the Collateral Portfolio and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations.

(b) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to sell all of the Collateral on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for the assets constituting the Collateral may not be liquid. Accordingly, the Administrative Agent may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any of the Collateral, and nothing contained herein shall obligate the Administrative Agent to liquidate any of the Collateral on the date the Administrative Agent or all of the Lenders declares the Advances Outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7.01 or to liquidate all of the Collateral in the same manner or on the same Business Day.

143

(c) If the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent proposes to sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, at the request of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, each Loan Party and the Servicer shall make available to (i) the Administrative Agent, on a timely basis, all information relating to the Collateral subject to sale, including, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials requested by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) each prospective bidder, on a timely basis, all reasonable information relating to the Collateral subject to sale, including, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials reasonably requested by each such bidder.

(d) Each of each Loan Party and the Servicer agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of each Loan Party and the Servicer, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such parcels as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) or such court may determine. Pursuant to the UCC, each of each Loan Party and the Collateral Agent hereby specifically agrees (x) that it shall not raise any objection to a Secured Party’s purchase of the Collateral (through bidding on the obligations or otherwise) and (y) that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in various no-action letters promulgated by the SEC staff (1) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of the UCC and (2) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that a Secured Party purchases the Collateral at such a sale.

(e) Any amounts received from any sale or liquidation of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 7.02 in excess of the Obligations will be applied by the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04(c), or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(f) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have, in addition to all the rights and remedies provided herein and provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of any applicable state, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), all rights and remedies available to the Lenders at law, in equity or under any other agreement between any Lender and the Borrower.

(g) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

144

(h) Each of each Loan Party and the Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints, during the continuance of an Event of Default and at all times following the Facility Maturity Date, each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement, including without limitation the following powers: (i) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (ii) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (iii) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, each Loan Party and the Servicer hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (iv) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, each Loan Party shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.

(i) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and empowered, during the existence of an Event of Default and at all times following the Facility Maturity Date, on behalf of each Loan Party, to endorse the name of such Loan Party or the Originator, as applicable, upon any check, draft, instrument, receipt, instruction, or other document or agreement or item, coming into the Administrative Agent’s possession, and to receive and apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof. The Administrative Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable power of attorney, which is coupled with an interest, to execute all checks, drafts, receipts, instruments, instructions, or other documents, agreements, or items on behalf of such Loan Party, either before or after demand of payment on the Obligations but only during the existence of an Event of Default, as shall be deemed by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, to preserve the security interests and Liens in the Collateral or to secure the repayment of the Obligations, and the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, in connection with or arising from its exercise of such power of attorney. The application by the Administrative Agent of such funds shall, unless the Administrative Agent shall agree otherwise in writing, be the same as set forth in Section 2.04 hereof.

145

Section 7.03 Option to Purchase Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any liquidation in full of the Collateral, including without limitation, (a) upon the termination of the Commitment following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or (b) at the Stated Maturity, provided that, in the case of the Servicer, a Servicer Default described in clause (g) of the definition thereof, the Servicer, the Equityholder and/or any of their Affiliates shall, subject to the additional requirements set forth in this Section 7.03, have the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Loan Assets included in the Collateral at a purchase price at least equal to the sum of the-then accrued and outstanding Obligations, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. Any such party may exercise such right by giving written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) of its election to exercise such right (the “Exercise Notice”) which shall include a proposed purchase price and be delivered not later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Stated Maturity or the date on which each of the Equity Investors and the Servicer receive notice from the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of such Event of Default and termination of the Commitments, as applicable; provided that if notice of an Event of Default and termination of the Commitment is delivered by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. New York City time, the Exercise Notice shall be delivered not later than 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day immediately following the date of such notice. Once an Exercise Notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent, the delivering party (or its designated Affiliate or managed fund) shall be obligated, irrevocably and unconditionally, to purchase the Collateral, at the price referenced above, for settlement within the normal settlement period for such Collateral. The cash purchase price must be received no later than 10 Business Days following delivery of the Exercise Notice or, if earlier, upon settlement of the loan transfers. The Administrative Agent shall not cause liquidation of the Loan Assets to occur during the time that the Servicer and Equityholder are entitled to provide an Exercise Notice. The sale of Collateral by a Loan Party as set forth in this Section 7.03 is not intended to be a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale under the UCC and the Borrower shall be required to deliver the Collateral to one legal buyer in accordance with market settlement procedures.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.01 Indemnities by the Borrower.

(a) Except for Taxes (other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim) and without limiting any other rights which the Affected Parties, the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral Custodian or any of their respective Affiliates may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Loan Parties hereby agree to indemnify, jointly and severally, the Affected Parties, the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral Custodian and each of their respective Affiliates, assigns, officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party” for purposes of this Article VIII) against, and to hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements of (x) one outside counsel to the Administrative Agent (and any Lender Affiliated with the Administrative Agent) and the Lenders (subject to clause (z) below), (y) one outside counsel to the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank and the Collateral Custodian, and (z) one counsel per foreign or local jurisdiction deemed reasonably necessary by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”), awarded against or actually incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or in respect of any of the Collateral or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, including the enforcement of this Agreement or any Transaction Document against the Borrower, regardless of whether any such Indemnified Party is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or shareholders); provided that Indemnified Amounts shall not be available to an Indemnified Party to the extent that such damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party or (ii) result from Loan Assets which are uncollectible due to the Obligor’s financial inability to pay.

146

(b) Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 8.01 shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party within two (2) Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s written demand therefor on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party (and the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts). The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Indemnified Party making a request for indemnification under this Section 8.01, shall submit to the Borrower a certificate (solely based on information provided by such Indemnified Party if not the Administrative Agent) setting forth the basis for and the computations of the Indemnified Amounts with respect to which such indemnification is requested, which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 8.01 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(d) If the Borrower has made any payments in respect of Indemnified Amounts to the Administrative Agent on behalf of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.01 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Borrower, without interest.

(e) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.01 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, the Servicer, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.02 Indemnities by Servicer.

(a) Without limiting any other rights which any Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts, awarded against or incurred by any Indemnified Party as a consequence of any acts or omissions of the Servicer constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder and any other Transaction Document to which it is a party; provided that Indemnified Amounts shall not be available to an Indemnified Party to the extent that such Indemnified Amounts are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party claiming indemnification hereunder.

147

(b) Any Indemnified Amounts shall be paid by the Servicer to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Indemnified Party, within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt by the Servicer of the Administrative Agent’s written demand therefor (and the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts). The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Indemnified Party making a request for indemnification under this Section 2, shall submit to the Servicer a certificate setting forth the basis for and the computations of the Indemnified Amounts with respect to which such indemnification is requested, which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(c) If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.02 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Servicer, without interest.

(d) The obligations of the Servicer under this Section 8.02 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, the Borrower, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) The Servicer shall have no liability for making indemnification hereunder to the extent any such indemnification constitutes recourse for uncollectible or uncollected Loan Assets.

(f) Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall not be payable from the Collateral.

Section 8.03 Waiver of Certain Claims. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, none of the Borrower or the Servicer shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, 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 of the Transaction Documents.

148

Section 8.04 Legal Proceedings. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action, claim, or legal, governmental or administrative proceeding (an “Action”) for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other party or parties against whom it seeks indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the nature and particulars of the Action; provided that its failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure has a material adverse effect on the Indemnifying Party. Upon written notice to the Indemnified Party acknowledging in writing that the indemnification provided hereunder applies to the Indemnified Party in connection with the Action (subject to the exclusion in the first sentence of Section 8.01, the first sentence of Section 8.02, as applicable), the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of the Action at its expense with counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel in connection with the Action, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party after the Indemnifying Party has done so; provided that if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Action, or that the Indemnifying Party is not conducting the defense of the Action in a manner reasonably protective of the interests of the Indemnified Party, the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided further that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one Action or separate but substantially similar or related Actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (and any required local counsel) for such Indemnified Party, which firm (and local counsel, if any) shall be designated in writing to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Action, it shall have full control over the conduct of such defense; provided that the Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall, as requested by the Indemnified Party or its counsel, consult with and keep them informed with respect to the conduct of such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle an Action without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement provides for the full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in connection with the Action. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Action.

Section 8.05 After-Tax Basis. Indemnification under Sections 8.01 and Section 8.02 shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any Tax consequences to the Indemnified Party of the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder, including the effect of such Tax or refund on the amount of Tax measured by net income or profits that is or was payable by the Indemnified Party.

Section 9.01 The Administrative Agent.

(a) Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each Lender. Each Lender further authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

149

(b) Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects with reasonable care.

(c) Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except, subject to Section 9.01(b), for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). Each Secured Party hereby waives any and all claims against the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except, subject to Section 9.01(b), for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Originator), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of any Loan Party, the Originator or the Servicer or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Loan Party, the Originator or the Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; (vi) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith; and (vii) shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.

150

(d) Actions by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. In the event the Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten (10) Business Days of such Person’s receipt of such request, then such Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the relevant action.

(e) Notice of Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Default, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender, the Borrower or the Servicer referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Event of Default,” “Notice of Unmatured Event of Default” or “Notice of Servicer Default,” as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 9.01(c)) take such action with respect to such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Servicer Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders acting jointly or as the Administrative Agent shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

(f) Credit Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender and each Secured Party acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party, the Servicer, the Originator or any of their respective Affiliates or review or approval of any of the Collateral, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender and each Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender and each Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender and each Secured Party hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the any Loan Party, the Servicer, the Originator or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

151

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Servicer), ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Share of its related Lender, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Share of its related Lender, promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Lenders hereunder and/or thereunder and to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or the Servicer.

(h) Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time, effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, by giving at least five (5) days’ written notice thereof to each Lender and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with cause by the Lenders acting jointly. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the approval of the Borrower and the Originator (which approval shall not be (i) unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or (ii) required at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default or after the declaration or automatic occurrence of the Facility Maturity Date). Each Lender agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be either (x) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (y) an Affiliate of such a bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

171

Section 12.04 Binding Effect; Assignability; Multiple Lenders.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral Custodian and their respective successors and permitted assigns. With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (unless such assignment is to an Affiliate of a Lender or is otherwise required by Applicable Law), each Lender and their respective successors and assigns may assign, grant a security interest or sell a participation interest in, (i) this Agreement and such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and interest herein in whole or in part (including by way of the sale of participation interests therein) and/or (ii) any Advance (or portion thereof) to any Person; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred, the Borrower has provided its written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such assignment to any Person that is a Disqualified Institution, or is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (but, for the avoidance of doubt, no such consent of the Borrower shall be required for any grant of a security interest or sale of a participation interest to any Person, an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, an assignment to a Person that is not a Disqualified Institution or an assignment that is required by Applicable Law). Any such assignee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a fully-executed assignment and acceptance agreement in the form of Exhibit K hereto (a “Assignment and Acceptance”). The parties to any such assignment, grant or sale of a participation interest shall execute and deliver to the related Lender for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties and the applicable Lender. None of any Loan Party, the Originator or the Servicer may assign, or permit any Lien to exist upon, any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any Transaction Document or any interest herein or in any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of each Lender and the Administrative Agent. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.04, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

172

(d) Upon the effectiveness of any assignment by any Lender of all or any of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents pursuant to Section 12.04(a) and the delivery to the Administrative Agent of all assignment documentation and the Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall revise Annex A to reflect such assignment.

Section 12.05 Term of This Agreement. This Agreement, including, each Loan Party’s representations and covenants set forth in Articles IV and V and the Servicer’s representations, covenants and duties set forth in Articles IV, V and VI, shall remain in full force and effect until the Collection Date; provided that the rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made or deemed made by any Loan Party or the Servicer pursuant to Articles III and IV and the indemnification and payment provisions of Article VIII, IX and Article XII and the provisions of Section 2.10, Section 2.11, Section 12.07 and Section 12.09 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

173

(d) EACH OF THE PARTIES (OTHER THAN THE COLLATERAL AGENT, COLLATERAL CUSTODIAN, AND ACCOUNT BANK) HERETO WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN Section 12.02.

Section 12.10 Execution in Counterparts; Severability; Integration. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by email in portable document format (.pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. In the event that any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement and any agreements or letters (including fee letters) executed in connection herewith contains the final and complete integration of all prior and contemporaneous expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior and contemporaneous oral or written understandings other than any fee letter delivered by the Servicer to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof. Moreover, the parties to this Agreement waive reliance on any representation made by any other party, whether orally or in writing, prior to the execution of this Agreement.

Section 12.11 Characterization of Conveyances Pursuant to each Purchase and Sale Agreement.

(a) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Eligible Loan Assets by the Originator to the Borrower and the Borrower to a Securitization Subsidiary, as applicable, as contemplated by the applicable Purchase and Sale Agreement be, and be treated for all purposes as, a sale by the Originator or the Borrower, as applicable, of such Eligible Loan Assets. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Eligible Loan Assets by the Originator or Borrower, as applicable, to the Borrower or a Securitization Subsidiary, as applicable, to secure a debt or other obligation of the Originator or the Borrower, as applicable. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Eligible Loan Assets are held to continue to be property of the Originator or the Borrower, as applicable, then the parties hereto agree that: (i) the applicable Purchase and Sale Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement under Applicable Law; (ii) as set forth in such Purchase and Sale Agreement, the transfer of the Eligible Loan Assets provided for in such Purchase and Sale Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by the Originator or the Borrower, as applicable, to the Borrower or the applicable Securitization Subsidiary of a first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in all of the Originator’s or Borrower’s, as applicable, right, title and interest in and to the Eligible Loan Assets and all amounts payable to the holders of the Eligible Loan Assets in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Controlled Accounts, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (iii) the possession by a Loan Party (or the Collateral Custodian on its behalf) of Loan Assets and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be, subject to clause (iv) below, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC; and (iv) acknowledgements from Persons holding such property shall be deemed acknowledgements from custodians, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the applicable Loan Party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under Applicable Law. The parties further agree that any assignment of the interest of a Loan Party pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created pursuant to the terms of the applicable Purchase and Sale Agreement. Each Loan Party shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if a Purchase and Sale Agreement was deemed to create a security interest in the Eligible Loan Assets, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority (subject only to Permitted Liens) under Applicable Law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.

176

(b) It is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the Eligible Loan Assets conveyed by the Originator to the Borrower or the Borrower to a Securitization Subsidiary, as applicable, pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement shall constitute assets owned by the Borrower or such Securitization Subsidiary, as applicable, and shall not be part of the Originator’s or Borrower’s, as applicable, estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Originator or Borrower, as applicable, under any bankruptcy or similar law.

(c) Each Loan Party agrees to treat, and shall cause the Originator and the Borrower, as applicable, to treat, for all purposes, the transactions effected by the Purchase and Sale Agreements as sales of assets to the Borrower or a Securitization Subsidiary, as applicable. Each Loan Party and the Servicer each hereby agree to cause the Originator to reflect in the Originator’s financial records and to include a note in the publicly filed annual and quarterly financial statements of the Originator indicating that assets sold to a Loan Party under a Purchase and Sale Agreement are owned by such Loan Party that is consolidated in the Originator’s financial statements, the creditors of such Loan Party have received security interests in such assets and such assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of the Originator (or any other affiliate of the Originator).

Section 12.12 Confidentiality.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, each Loan Party, the Account Bank, the Originator and the Collateral Custodian shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of the Agreement (and the terms thereof) and all information with respect to the other parties, including all information regarding the Loan Assets, the related Obligors, each Loan Party and the Originator (including any Affiliated thereof) and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that each such party and its officers and employees may (i) disclose such information to its external accountants, investigators, auditors, attorneys or other agents, including any valuation firm engaged by such party in connection with any due diligence or comparable activities with respect to the transactions and Loan Assets contemplated herein and the agents of such Persons (“Excepted Persons”); provided that each Excepted Person shall, as a condition to any such disclosure, agree for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, each Loan Party, the Account Bank, the Originator and the Collateral Custodian (A) to maintain the confidentiality of the Agreement (and the terms thereof) and all information with respect to the other parties, including all information regarding the Loan Assets and each Loan Party and the Servicer hereto and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, and (B) that such information shall be used solely in connection with such Excepted Person’s evaluation of, or relationship with, each Loan Party and its affiliates, (ii) disclose the existence of the Agreement, but not the terms thereof, (iii) disclose such information as is required by Applicable Law (including disclosures which such party determines are required or advisable under applicable federal securities or banking laws, rules or regulations) and (iv) disclose the Agreement and such information in any suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether in law or in equity or pursuant to arbitration) involving any of the Transaction Documents for the purpose of defending itself, reducing its liability, or protecting or exercising any of its claims, rights, remedies, or interests under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents. It is understood that the financial terms that may not be disclosed except in compliance with this Section 12.12(a) include, all fees and other pricing terms, and all Events of Default, Servicer Defaults, and priority of payment provisions.

177

DIVERSITY SCORE

Diversity Score Calculations

Diversity Score

Calculated as follows:

(a) An “Obligor Par Amount” is calculated for each Obligor of a Loan Asset, and is equal to the outstanding principal amount of Loan Assets issued by such Obligor and its Affiliates.

(b) An “Average Par Amount” is calculated by summing the Obligor Par Amounts for all Obligors, and dividing by the aggregate number of Obligors.

(c) An “Equivalent Unit Score” is calculated for each Obligor, and is equal to the lesser of (a) one and (b) the Obligor Par Amount for such Obligor divided by the Average Par Amount.

(d) An “Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score” is then calculated for each Industry Classification and is equal to the sum of the Equivalent Unit Scores for each Obligor in such Industry Classification.

(e) An “Industry Diversity Score” is then established for each Industry Classification by reference to the following table for the related Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score; provided, that if any Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score falls between any two such scores, the applicable Industry Diversity Score will be the lower of the two Industry Diversity Scores:
