All such funds shall be assumed to continue to earn interest until the date on which they are required to be available in the Collection Account for application, in accordance with the terms hereof, to payments of principal of or interest on the Debt or other amounts payable pursuant to this Indenture. For purposes of the applicable determinations required by Section 10.8(b)(iv), Article XII and the definition of “Interest Coverage Ratio”, the expected interest on the Secured Debt and Floating Rate Obligations will be calculated using the then-current interest rates applicable thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, all amounts calculated pursuant to this Section 1.2(d) are estimates and may differ from the actual amounts available to make distributions hereunder, and no party shall have any obligation to make any payment hereunder due to the assumed amounts calculated under this Section 1.2(d) being greater than the actual amounts available. (e) References in Section 11.1(a) to calculations made on a “pro forma basis” shall mean such calculations after giving effect to all payments, in accordance with the Priority of Payments described herein, that precede (in priority of payment) or include the clause in which such calculation is made.

Each such Defaulted Obligation will be treated as a Defaulted Obligation for all purposes until such time as the aggregate principal balance of Current Pay Obligations would not exceed, on a pro forma basis including such Defaulted Obligation, the applicable percentage of the Collateral Principal Amount as set forth in the proviso to the definition of “Defaulted Obligation.” (h) Except where expressly referenced herein for inclusion in such calculations, Defaulted Obligations will not be included in the calculation of the Collateral Quality Test. (i) For purposes of calculating compliance with the Investment Criteria, upon the direction of the Collateral Manager by notice to the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator, any Eligible Investment representing Principal Proceeds received upon the sale or other disposition of a Collateral Obligation shall be deemed to have the characteristics of such Collateral Obligation until reinvested in an additional Collateral Obligation. Such calculations shall be based upon the principal amount of such Collateral Obligation, except in the case of Defaulted Obligations and Credit Risk Obligations, in which case the calculations will be based upon the Principal Proceeds received on the disposition or sale of such Defaulted Obligation or Credit Risk Obligation.

USActive 57779863.5 -78- 47427296.1 (j) For the purposes of calculating compliance with each of the Concentration Limitations all calculations will be rounded to the nearest 0.1%. All other calculations, unless otherwise set forth herein or the context otherwise requires, shall be rounded to the nearest ten thousandth if expressed as a percentage (other than the Reference Rate, which shall be rounded to the nearest hundred-thousandth), and to the nearest one hundredth if expressed otherwise. (k) For purposes of calculating the Collateral Quality Tests, DIP Collateral Obligations will be treated as having an S&P Recovery Rate equal to the S&P Recovery Rate for Senior Secured Loans. (l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, all monetary calculations under this Indenture shall be in Dollars. (m) Any reference herein to an amount of the Trustee’s or the Collateral Administrator’s fees calculated with respect to a period at a per annum rate shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable Collection Period divided by 360 and shall be based on the Fee Basis Amount (but including the par amount of all Restructured Loans, Defaulted Obligations, Equity Securities, Specified Equity Securities and interest only strips), measured as of the first day of the Collection Period relating to each Payment Date. (n) For purposes of calculating compliance with any tests under this Indenture, the trade date (and not the settlement date) with respect to any acquisition or disposition of a Collateral Obligation or Eligible Investment shall be used to determine whether and when such acquisition or disposition has occurred. (o) For all purposes where expressly used in this Indenture, the “outstanding principal balance” shall exclude capitalized interest, if any. (p) Except as expressly set forth herein, the “principal balance” of a Revolving Collateral Obligation or a Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation will include all unfunded commitments that have not been irrevocably reduced or withdrawn. (q) For purposes of calculating the Sale Proceeds of a Collateral Obligation in sale transactions, Sale Proceeds will include any Principal Financed Accrued Interest and Principal Financed Capitalized Interest received in respect of such sale. (r) To the extent of any ambiguity in the interpretation of any definition or term contained in this Indenture or to the extent more than one methodology can be used to make any of the determinations or calculations set forth therein, in each case as reasonably determined by a Trust Officer of the Collateral Administrator or the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator shall request direction from the Collateral Manager as to the interpretation and/or methodology to be used, and the Collateral Administrator shall follow such direction, and together with the Trustee, shall be entitled to conclusively rely thereon without any responsibility or liability therefor. (s) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, whenever in this Indenture the Collateral Manager is permitted or required to make a decision in its “sole discretion,” “reasonable discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Collateral Manager

(a) No Note may be sold or transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) unless such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, is exempt from the registration requirements under applicable state securities laws and will not cause either of the Issuer to become subject to the requirement that it register as an investment company under the 0000 Xxx. (b) No transfer of any Subordinated Note (or any interest therein) will be effective, and no such transfer will be recognized, if after giving effect to such transfer 25% or more of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Subordinated Notes would be held by Persons who are Benefit Plan Investors as calculated pursuant to 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA (the “25% Limitation”). For purposes of these calculations and all other calculations required by this sub-section, any Notes of the Issuer held by a Person (other than a Benefit Plan Investor) who is a Controlling Person shall be disregarded and not treated as Outstanding. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon the information set forth on the face of the transfer certificates received pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.5 and Section 2.12 and only Notes that a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so held shall be so disregarded. (c) [Reserved]. (d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with, or for otherwise monitoring or determining compliance with, the registration provisions of or any exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction, ERISA, the Code, the 1940 Act, or the terms hereof; provided that if a transfer certificate is specifically required by the terms of this Section 2.5 and Section 2.12 to be provided to the Trustee by a prospective transferor or transferee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether or not the certificate substantially conforms on its face to the applicable requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same and the Issuer if such certificate does not comply with such terms.

(f) Transfers of Certificated Notes shall only be made in accordance with Section 2.2(b), this Section 2.5(g) and Section 2.12.

(e) Payments in respect of interest on and principal of any Secured Notes and any payment with respect to any Subordinated Note shall be made by the Trustee in Dollars to DTC or its designee with respect to a Global Note, to the Holder or its nominee with respect to a Certificated Note, by wire transfer, as directed by such Person, in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by DTC or its nominee with respect to a Global Note, to the Holder or its nominee with respect to a Certificated Note; provided that in the case of a Certificated Note (1) the Holder thereof shall have provided written wiring instructions to the Trustee on or before the related Record Date and (2) if appropriate instructions for any such wire transfer are not received by the related Record Date, then such payment shall be made by check drawn on a U.S. bank mailed to the address of the Holder specified in the applicable Register. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of any Notes, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the office of any Paying Agent on or prior to such Maturity; provided that if the Trustee and the Issuer shall have been furnished such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such certificate, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. None of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Manager, nor any Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records (or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing such records) maintained by DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream or any of the Agent Members or any of their nominees relating to or for payments made thereby on account of beneficial interests in a Global Note. In the case where any final payment of principal and interest is to be made on any Debt (other than on the Stated Maturity thereof), the Trustee or Loan Agent, as applicable, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer shall prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Persons entitled thereto at their addresses appearing on the applicable Register, a notice which shall specify the date on which such payment will be made and the place where such Debt may, as applicable, be presented and surrendered for such payment. (f) Payments of principal to Holders of the Secured Debt of each Class shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Secured Debt of such Class registered in the name of each such Holder on the applicable Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Secured Debt of such Class on such Record Date. Payments to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes from Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Subordinated Notes registered in the name of each such Holder on the applicable Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Subordinated Notes on such Record Date. (g) Interest accrued with respect to the Floating Rate Debt shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360. Interest accrued with respect to the Fixed Rate Debt shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months; provided, that if a Redemption or a Re-Pricing occurs on a Business Day that would not otherwise be a Payment Date, interest on such Fixed Rate

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held for the benefit of the Secured Parties by the Issuer or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such Money.

Such designation shall not impose upon the Trustee, or release or diminish, the Issuer’s and the Collateral Manager’s obligations under this Section 7.5.

USActive 57779863.5 -151- 47427296.1 Circular for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes and will take no action inconsistent with such treatment unless required by law. (b) The Issuer will prepare and file (or will hire accountants and the accountants will prepare and file) for each taxable year of the Issuer any U.S. federal, state and local tax returns and reports required under the Code or any other applicable law, and will provide (or cause to be provided) to each Holder (including, for purposes of this Section 7.17, any beneficial owner of Debt) any information that such Holder reasonably requests in order for such Holder to comply with its U.S. federal, state or local tax return filing and information reporting obligations. (c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Issuer shall take, any and all reasonable actions that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Issuer satisfies any and all withholding and tax payment obligations under Code Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446, 1471, 1472, and any other provision of the Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) Issuer may withhold any amount that it or any advisor retained by the Trustee on its behalf determines is required to be withheld from any amounts otherwise distributable to any Person and (ii) if reasonably able to do so, the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered an IRS W-9 or successor applicable form and other properly completed and executed documentation, as it determines is necessary to permit the Issuer to receive payments without withholding or deduction or at a reduced rate of withholding or deduction. (d) Upon the Issuer’s or the Trustee’s receipt of a written request of a Holder or written request of a Person certifying that it is an owner of a beneficial interest in Debt, delivered in accordance with the notice procedures of Section 14.3, for the information described in United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-3(b)(1)(i) that is applicable to such Holder, the Issuer shall promptly cause its Independent accountants to provide such information to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall promptly provide such information to the requesting Holder. (e) The Collateral Manager will be the initial “partnership representative” (the “Partnership Representative”) (or, if not eligible under the Code to be the Partnership Representative, the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Partnership Representative) and may designate the Partnership Representative from time to time with respect to any taxable year of the Issuer during which the Collateral Manager holds or has held any Subordinated Notes (and if such designee is not eligible under the Code to be the Partnership Representative, it shall be the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Partnership Representative); provided, that during any other period or if the Collateral Manager declines to so designate a Partnership Representative, the Issuer (after consultation with the Collateral Manager) shall designate the Partnership Representative from among any beneficial owners of Subordinated Notes (and if such designee is not eligible under the Code to be the Partnership Representative, it shall be the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Partnership Representative). The Partnership Representative (or, if applicable, its agent and attorney in fact), shall sign the Issuer’s tax returns and is authorized to make tax elections on behalf of the Issuer in its reasonable discretion, to determine the amount and characterization of any allocations or tax items described in this Indenture in its reasonable discretion, and to take all actions and do such things as required or as it shall deem appropriate under the Code, at the Issuer’s sole expense, including representing the Issuer before taxing authorities and courts in tax matters affecting the Issuer and the beneficial owners of Subordinated Notes (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) in their capacity as partners in the Issuer. Any action taken by the

USActive 57779863.5 -152- 47427296.1 Partnership Representative in connection with audits of the Issuer under the Code will, to the extent permitted by law, be binding upon the “equity owners” (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of the Issuer. Each such beneficial owner agrees that it will treat any Issuer item on such beneficial owner’s income tax returns consistently with the treatment of the item on the Issuer’s tax return and that such beneficial owner will not independently act with respect to tax audits or tax litigation affecting the Issuer, unless previously authorized to do so in writing by the Partnership Representative (or, if applicable, its agent and attorney-in-fact), which authorization may be withheld in the complete discretion of the Partnership Representative (or, if applicable, its agent and attorney in fact). The Issuer will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, reimburse and indemnify the Partnership Representative and any agent and attorney-in-fact of such Partnership Representative in connection with any expenses reasonably incurred in connection with its performance of its duties as or on behalf of the Partnership Representative. For the avoidance of doubt, any indemnity or reimbursement provided pursuant to the immediately foregoing sentence shall be treated as an Administrative Expense pursuant to the definition thereof. (f) The Partnership Representative shall establish and maintain or cause to be established and maintained on the books and records of the Issuer an individual capital account for each Holder of Subordinated Notes (which, for purposes of this Section 7.17(f) and Section 7.17(g) through (j) and (m), shall include any “partner” of the Issuer (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes)), in accordance with Section 704(b) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). (g) After giving effect to Section 7.17(g) and Section 7.17(h), all Issuer items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Holders of Subordinated Notes in a manner such that, after the allocation, each such Holder’s capital account is equal (as nearly as possible) to the amount that such Holder would receive from the Issuer if the Issuer (i) sold all of its assets for their Book Values, (ii) applied the proceeds to discharge Issuer liabilities at face amount, and (iii) distributed the remaining proceeds in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture (other than this Section 7.17), minus the sum of such Holder’s share of “partnership minimum gain” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(2)) and “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704- 2(i)(3)). (h) (i) This Section 7.17(h)(i) incorporates by reference, as if fully set forth herein, the “minimum gain chargeback” requirement contained in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), the “partner minimum gain chargeback” requirement contained in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i), and the “qualified income offset” requirement contained in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). (ii) In the event that any Holder of Subordinated Notes has a deficit capital account at the end of any Issuer taxable year that is in excess of the amount such Holder is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Holder will be allocated items of Issuer income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an allocation pursuant to this Section 7.17(h)(ii) will be made only if and to the extent that such Holder would have a deficit capital account in excess of such amount after all other allocations provided for in this Section 7.17 have been

USActive 57779863.5 -153- 47427296.1 tentatively made as if this Section 7.17 did not include this Section 7.17(h)(ii) or the “qualified income offset” requirement of Section 7.17(h)(i). (iii) Nonrecourse deductions (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) will be specially allocated to the Holders of Subordinated Notes in the same manner as if they were not nonrecourse deductions. (iv) No Holder of Subordinated Notes will be allocated items of loss or deduction under Section 7.17(g) or Section 7.17(i) if such allocation would cause or increase a deficit balance in such Holder’s capital account as of the end of the Issuer taxable year to which such allocation relates, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). (i) It is the intent of the Issuer that, to the extent possible, all special allocations made pursuant to Section 7.17(g) be offset either with other special allocations made pursuant to Section 7.17(h) or with special allocations made pursuant to this Section 7.17(i). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.17 (other than Section 7.17(h)), offsetting special allocations of Issuer items of income, gain, loss and deduction will be made so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, the capital account balance of each Holder of Subordinated Notes is, to the extent possible, equal to the capital account balance such Holder would have had if the special allocations made pursuant to Section 7.17(h) were not part of this Section 7.17 and all Issuer items of income, gain, loss and deduction were allocated pursuant to Section 7.17(g).

For the avoidance of doubt, such Re-Pricing will apply to all the Debt of the Re-Priced Class, including the Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders. (d) The Issuer shall not effect any proposed Re-Pricing unless: (i) the Issuer and the Trustee (and Loan Agent, if applicable) shall have entered into a supplemental indenture dated as of the Re-Pricing Date to decrease (x) the spread over the Reference Rate or (y) the fixed rate of interest, as applicable, for the Re-Priced Class in accordance with Section 8.1; (ii) the

In order to give effect to the Re-Pricing, the Issuer may, to the extent necessary or desirable, obtain and assign a separate CUSIP or CUSIPs to the Debt of each Class held by such consenting or non-consenting Holder(s). The Trustee (and Loan Agent, if applicable) shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the Re-Pricing is authorized or permitted by this Indenture or the Class A-L Loan Agreement, as applicable, and that all conditions precedent thereto have been complied with.
