- 28 -

(d)     The failure of the Administrative Agent to approve the acquisition of a Portfolio Investment will not prohibit the Company from acquiring such Portfolio Investment (subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1.03); provided, that any Portfolio Investment not so approved prior to its Trade Date or Substitution Date (each as defined below) shall be deemed to be an Ineligible Investment until such later date (if any) on which such Portfolio Investment is so approved.

Section 1.03.     Conditions to Purchases or Substitutions.

If the above conditions to a Purchase Commitment, a Purchase or a Substitution are satisfied or waived by the Administrative Agent, the Portfolio Manager shall determine, in consultation with the Administrative Agent and with notice to any applicable Financing Providers, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator, the date on which such Purchase (if any) or Substitution shall settle (the "Settlement Date" for such Portfolio Investment) and any related Financing shall be provided.

With respect to a Purchase, promptly following the Settlement Date for a Portfolio Investment and its receipt thereof, the Collateral Administrator shall provide to the Administrative Agent a copy of the executed assignment agreement (or, in the case of a Portfolio Investment that is not a Loan, the executed purchase agreement or similar instrument) pursuant to which such Portfolio Investment was assigned, sold or otherwise transferred to the Company.

Section 1.04.     Sales of Portfolio Investments. The Company will not (and will not permit the Permitted Subsidiary to) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Portfolio Investment or any other asset without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Financing Providers), except that, subject to Section 6.02(x), the Company may sell any Portfolio Investment (including any Ineligible Investment) or other asset without such consent so long as, (x) after giving effect thereto, no Market Value Event has occurred and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) the sale of such asset by the Company shall be on an arm's-length basis and in accordance with the Portfolio Manager's standard market practices. In addition, within ten (10) calendar days of any Revolving Loan or Delayed Funding Term Loan with an unfunded commitment becoming an Ineligible Investment, the Company, subject to clauses (x) and (y) in the immediately preceding sentence, shall either (i) sell such Revolving Loan or Delayed Funding Term Loan and shall pay any amount payable in connection with such sale or (ii) distribute such Revolving Loan or Delayed Funding Term Loan to the Parent; provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), the Parent has paid the Company an amount equal to the Market Value of such Revolving Loan or Delayed Funding Term Loan on the date of its Purchase multiplied by the then-current funded balance of such Revolving Loan or Delayed Funding Term Loan.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to this Section 1.04): (i) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, neither the Company nor the Portfolio Manager on its behalf shall have any right to cause the sale, transfer or other disposition of a Portfolio Investment or any other asset (including, without limitation, the transfer of amounts on deposit in the Accounts, the Permitted CAD Accounts, the Permitted EUR Accounts or the Permitted GBP Accounts) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), (ii) following the occurrence of a Market Value Event, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell Portfolio Investments (individually or in lots, including a lot comprised of all of the Portfolio Investments) at the sole direction of, and in the manner (including, without limitation, the time of sale, sale price, principal amount to be sold and purchaser) required by the Administrative Agent (provided that the Administrative Agent shall only require sales at the direction of the Required Financing Providers and at then-current fair market values and in accordance with the Administrative Agent's standard market practices) and the proceeds from such sales shall be used to prepay the Advances outstanding hereunder and (iii) following the occurrence of a Market Value Event, the Portfolio Manager shall have no right to act on behalf of, or otherwise direct, the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other person in connection with a sale of Portfolio Investments pursuant to any provision of this Agreement except with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (including via email). Any prepayments made pursuant to this paragraph shall automatically reduce the Financing Commitments as provided in Section 4.07(c). The Company shall cause the Permitted Subsidiary to comply with all of the provisions of this paragraph.

- 30 -

In connection with any sale of Portfolio Investments required by the Administrative Agent following the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Market Value Event, in connection with such sale, the Administrative Agent or a designee of the Administrative Agent shall:

(i)     notify the Company at the Designated Email Notification Address promptly upon distribution of bid solicitations regarding the sale of such Portfolio Investments; and

(ii)     direct the Company to sell such Portfolio Investments to the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer if the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer provides the highest bid in the case where bids are received in respect of the sale of such Portfolio Investments, it being understood that if the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer provides a bid to the Administrative Agent that is the highest bona fide bid to purchase a Portfolio Investment on a line-item basis where such Portfolio Investment is part of a pool of Portfolio Investments for which there is a bona fide bid on a pool basis proposed to be accepted by the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion), then the Administrative Agent shall accept any such line-item bid only if such line-item bid (together with any other line-item bids by the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer or any other bidder for other Portfolio Investments in such pool) is greater than the bid on a pool basis.

For purposes of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to disregard as invalid any bid submitted by the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer if, in the Administrative Agent's judgment (acting reasonably):

(A)    either:

(x)     the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer is ineligible to accept assignment or transfer of the relevant Portfolio Investments or any portion thereof, as applicable, substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for the relevant Portfolio Investments; or

(y)     the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer would not, through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts, be able to obtain any consent required under any agreement or instrument governing or otherwise relating to the relevant Portfolio Investments to the assignment or transfer of the relevant Portfolio Investments or any portion thereof, as applicable, to it; or

- 31 -

(A)     such bid is not bona fide, including, without limitation, due to (x) the insolvency of the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer or (y) the inability, failure or refusal of the Designated Independent Broker-Dealer to settle the purchase of the relevant Portfolio Investments or any portion thereof, as applicable, or otherwise settle transactions in the relevant market or perform its obligations generally.

In connection with any sale of a Portfolio Investment directed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 1.04 and the application of the net proceeds thereof, the Company hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as the Company's attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of the Company by this appointment), with full authority in the place and stead of the Company and in the name of the Company to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.04 (including, without limitation, the power to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent or the Required Financing Providers may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 1.04 or any direction or notice to the Collateral Agent in respect of the application of net proceeds of any such sales). None of the Administrative Agent, the Financing Providers, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Agent nor any Affiliate of any thereof shall incur any liability to the Company, the Portfolio Manager, the Financing Providers or any other person in connection with any sale effected at the direction of the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 1.04, including, without limitation, as a result of the price obtained for any Portfolio Investment, the timing of any sale or sales of Portfolio Investments or the notice or lack of notice provided to any person in connection with any such sale, so long as, in the case of the Administrative Agent only, any such sale does not violate Applicable Law.

Section 1.05.     Substitution.

During the Reinvestment Period, the Company may replace a Portfolio Investment with another Portfolio Investment (each such replacement, a "Substitution" and such new Portfolio Investment, a "Substitute Portfolio Investment") so long as the Company has submitted a Notice of Acquisition and all applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 1.02(c) and Section 1.03 have been satisfied with respect to each Substitute Portfolio Investment to be acquired by the Company in connection with such Substitution.

Section 1.06.     Certain Assumptions Relating to Portfolio Investments.

(a)     For purposes of all calculations hereunder, any Portfolio Investment for which the trade date in respect of a sale thereof by the Company or the Permitted Subsidiary has occurred, but the settlement date for such sale has not occurred, shall be considered to be owned by the Company or the Permitted Subsidiary until such settlement date.

- 32 -

(b)     Unfunded commitments in respect of Delayed Funding Loans and Revolving Loans shall not be considered funded for purposes of the definition of the term Market Value and the calculation of the Net Asset Value, the Borrowing Base Test and the Minimum Equity Test.

Section 1.07.     Currency Equivalents.

(a)    Except as set forth in clause (b) and Section 4.06(b), for purposes of all valuations and calculations under the Loan Documents, (i) the principal amount and Market Value of all Portfolio Investments denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency, (ii) proceeds denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency on deposit in any Permitted CAD Account, Permitted EUR Account or Permitted GBP Account, as applicable, and (iii) for the purposes of Net Advances and the Borrowing Base Test, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Advances denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency shall be converted to USD at the Spot Rate in accordance with the definition of such term in consultation with the Administrative Agent on the applicable date of valuation or calculation, as applicable.

(b)    Except as provided in Section 4.06(b), for purposes of determining (i) whether the amount of any Advance, together with all other Advances then outstanding or to be made at the same time as such Advances, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Financing Commitments, (ii) the aggregate unutilized amount of the Financing Commitments and (iii) the limitations on the portion of the Financing Limit and the Financing Commitment that may be utilized in a Permitted Non-USD Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the Permitted Non-USD Currency of such Advances determined as of the date such Advances were made. Wherever in this Agreement in connection with an Advance, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in U.S. Dollars, but such Advance is denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency, such amount shall be the CAD Equivalent, EUR Equivalent or GBP Equivalent , as applicable, of such U.S. dollar amount (rounded to the nearest 1,000 units of the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency).

(a)     Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Purchase of a Portfolio Investment set forth in Section 1.03 both as of the related Trade Date and Settlement Date, the applicable Financing Providers will make the applicable Financing available to the Company on the related Settlement Date (or otherwise on the related specified borrowing date if no Portfolio Investment is being acquired on such date) as provided herein; provided that, if no Portfolio Investment is being acquired on such date, only the conditions set forth in clauses (3) and (4) of Section 1.03 shall require satisfaction or waiver.

(b)     Except as expressly provided herein, the failure of any Financing Provider to make any Advance required hereunder shall not relieve any other Financing Provider of its obligations hereunder. If any Financing Provider shall fail to provide any Financing to the Company required hereunder, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Financing Provider to satisfy such Financing Provider's obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

The proceeds of the Financings shall not be used for any other purpose.

(d)     With respect to any Advance, the Portfolio Manager shall, on behalf of the Company, submit a request substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator, not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior to the Business Day specified as the date on which such Advance shall be made and, upon receipt of such request, the Lenders shall make such Advances in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 3.01.

(e)     [Reserved]

(f)     If two Business Days prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Company has any outstanding unfunded obligations to make future advances under any Delayed Funding Term Loan or Revolving Loan, then the Portfolio Manager, on behalf of the Company, shall be deemed to have requested a Financing in the applicable Permitted Currency on such date, and the Lenders shall make a corresponding Advance on the last day of the Reinvestment Period (with written notice to the Collateral Administrator by the Administrative Agent) in accordance with Article III in amount equal to the least of (i) the aggregate amount of all such unfunded obligations, (ii) the Financing Commitments in the aggregate and in the applicable Permitted Currency in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances and (iii) an amount such that the Borrowing Base Test is satisfied after giving effect to such Advance; provided that, if the Company provides evidence to the Administrative Agent that it has cash from other sources that is available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to make any such future advances in respect of any Delayed Funding Term Loan or Revolving Loan, then the amount of any such Advance shall be reduced by the amount of such funds. After giving effect to such Advance, the Company shall cause the proceeds of such Advance and cash from other sources that is available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all unfunded obligations remaining in respect of any Delayed Funding Term Loans or Revolving Loans to be deposited in the Unfunded Exposure Account, the CAD Unfunded Exposure Account, the EUR Unfunded Exposure Account and/or the GBP Unfunded Exposure Account, as applicable, and held as cash and Eligible Investments pending the funding of such future advances or until all commitments to make such future advances are terminated or expire or are irrevocably reduced to zero. For the avoidance of doubt, the amounts deposited in the Unfunded Exposure Account, the CAD Unfunded Exposure Account, the EUR Unfunded Exposure Account and/or the GBP Unfunded Exposure Account pursuant to this clause (f) shall not be used for any purpose other than as set forth in Section 8.01(h).

(g)     Without limitation to clause (f) above, neither the Company nor the Permitted Subsidiary shall acquire any unfunded commitment under any Revolving Loan or Delayed Funding Term Loan unless, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such purchase, the Borrowing Base Test, the Minimum Equity Test and item 5 of the Concentration Limitations will each be satisfied.

Article III
ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE FINANCINGS

Section 3.01.     The Advances.

(a)     Making the Advances. If the Lenders are required to make an Advance to the Company as provided in Section 2.03, then each Lender shall make such Advance on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the Collateral Agent for deposit to the Collection Account, the CAD Collection Account, the EUR Collection Account or the GBP Collection Account, as applicable. Each Lender at its option may make any Advance by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advance, provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Company to repay such Advance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may borrow and prepay Advances. The Company may, during the Reinvestment Period, reborrow Advances in an amount up to (x) the aggregate Financing Commitments of the Lenders on such date minus (y) the Minimum Funding Amount, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, once prepaid, Advances may not be reborrowed.

(b)     Interest on the Advances. Subject to Section 3.01(h), all outstanding Advances shall bear interest (from and including the date on which such Advance is made) at a per annum rate equal to the applicable Benchmark, in each case, for each Calculation Period in effect plus the Applicable Margin for such Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Advance is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Benchmark plus, in each case, the Adjusted Applicable Margin. If, on any date the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances is less than the Minimum Funding Amount specified in the definition of the term Minimum Funding Amount, then the Company shall pay the Lenders interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the Applicable Margin for Advances in U.S. Dollars set forth on the Transaction Schedule minus the per annum rate payable in respect of commitment fees pursuant to Section 4.03(d) multiplied by (ii) the amount equal to the Minimum Funding Amount minus the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances. For purposes of the foregoing, the Benchmark for each Calculation Period with respect to Daily Simple XXXXX shall be the weighted average of such Benchmark as determined on each day during such Calculation Period in respect of Advances denominated in GBP.

(c)     Evidence of the Advances. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Company to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder and the Permitted Currency thereof. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (1) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, (2) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Lender hereunder, (3) the Permitted Currency of such Advance, and (4) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall, to the extent consistent with the records in the Register, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Any Lender may request that Advances made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if a registered note is requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), which delivery the Administrative Agent shall record in the Register. Thereafter, to the extent so reflected in the Register, the Advances evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or to such payee and its registered assigns).

- 37 -

(d)     Pro Rata Treatment. Except as otherwise provided herein, all borrowings of, and payments in respect of, the Advances shall be made on a pro rata basis by or to the Lenders in accordance with their respective portions of the Financing Commitments in respect of Advances held by them.

(e)     Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company that the adoption of any law, rule or regulation, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, in each case after the Original Effective Date, makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for a Lender or the Administrative Agent to perform its obligations hereunder to fund or maintain Advances hereunder, then (1) the obligation of such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall immediately be suspended until such time as such Lender or the Administrative Agent determines (in its sole discretion) that such performance is again lawful, (2) at the request of the Company, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, other than immaterial, incidental expenses), until such time as the Advances are required to be prepaid as mandated by law in clause (3) below, to transfer all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates with respect to which such performance would not be unlawful, and (3) if such Lender or the Administrative Agent is unable to effect a transfer under clause (2), then any outstanding Advances of such Lender shall be promptly paid in full by the Company (together with all accrued interest and other amounts owing hereunder) but not later than such date as shall be mandated by law; provided that, to the extent that any such adoption or change makes it unlawful for the applicable Advances to bear interest by reference to the Reference Rate or Term SOFR Reference Rate, then the foregoing clauses (1) through (3) shall not apply and the Advances shall bear interest (from and after the last day of the Calculation Period ending immediately after such adoption or change) at a per annum rate equal to the applicable Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule.

(f)     Increased Costs.

(i)     If any Change in Law shall:

(A)     impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;

(B)     impose on any Lender, the market for any Reference Rate any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender; or

(C)     subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (z) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

- 38 -

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Advance or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, upon request by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Company will pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(ii)     If any Lender 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 Lender's capital or on the capital of such Xxxxxx's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Advances made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(iii)     A certificate of a Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, its holding company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(iv)     Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or and Administrative Agent's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Administrative Agent notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the Administrative Agent'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 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. No Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to any such compensation unless such Person is generally seeking such compensation from borrowers under substantially similar facilities with substantially similar assets and from whom such Person is entitled so seek such compensation.

(v)     Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agrees that it will take such commercially reasonable actions as the Company may reasonably request that will avoid the need to pay, or reduce the amount of, any increased amounts referred to in this Section 3.01(f) and in Section 3.03(a) or (c); provided that no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to take any actions that would, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, be disadvantageous to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, due to a loss of money). In no event will the Company be responsible for increased amounts referred to in this Section 3.01(f) or in Section 3.03(a) or (c) which relates to any other entities to which any Lender provides financing.

- 39 -

(vi)     If any Lender (A) provides notice of unlawfulness or requests compensation under clause (e) above or this clause (f), (B) defaults in its obligation to make Advances hereunder or (C) becomes the subject of a Bail-In Action, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related transaction documents to an assignee identified by the Company that shall assume such obligations (whereupon such Lender shall be obligated to so assign), provided that, (x) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder through the date of such assignment and (y) a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. No prepayment fee that may otherwise be due hereunder shall be payable to such Lender in connection with any such assignment.

(g)     No Set-off or counterclaim. All payments to be made hereunder by the Company in respect of the Advances shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that every such payment shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement; provided that this Section 3.01(g) shall not apply with respect to Taxes.

Section 3.02.     General. The provisions of Section 3.01 and any other provisions relating to the types of Financings contemplated by each such section shall not be operative until and unless such types of Financing have been made available to the Company, as evidenced by the Transaction Schedule.

Section 3.03.     Taxes.

(a)     Payments Free of Taxes. All payments to be made hereunder by the Company in respect of the Advances shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law (including FATCA). If any Applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Company, then the Company 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 sum payable by the Company shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(c)     Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company 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.

- 40 -

(d)     Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Xxxxxx's failure to comply with the provisions of 10.06 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan 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. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 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 Loan 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 paragraph (d).

(e)     Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Company to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f)     Status of Secured Parties. (i) Any Secured Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 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 3.03(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) 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.

(ii)     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)     any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent 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 Company or the Administrative Agent), an executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)     any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, but only if the Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

- 41 -

(ii)     two copies of executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii)     in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a "10 percent shareholder" of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, and is not a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a "U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate") and (y) two copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form; or

(iv)     to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, two copies of executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;

(C)     any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals 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 Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)     each Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Original Effective Date.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

- 42 -

(E)     The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Company an electronic copy of an IRS Form W-9 upon becoming a party under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent represents to the Company that it is a "U.S. person" and a "financial institution" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1 and a "U.S. financial institution" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1471-3(a)(3)(iii) and that it will comply with its obligations to withhold under Section 1441 of the Code and FATCA.

(g)     Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (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 paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than 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.

(h)     Survival. Each party's obligations under this Section 3.03 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 Financing Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 3.04.     Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair.

(a)    Subject to clauses (b), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 3.04 (in the case of Advances in a Permitted Non-USD Currency), if prior to the commencement of any Calculation Period for an Advance, (x) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining a Reference Rate or Term SOFR Reference Rate (including, without limitation, because such Reference Rate or Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for the applicable Permitted Currency and such Calculation Period; provided that, with respect to any Reference Rate, no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time or (y) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Financing Providers that the applicable Reference Rate or Term SOFR Reference Rate for the applicable Permitted Currency and such Calculation Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Advances (or its Advance) included in such Advance for such Calculation Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any Advance denominated in such Permitted Currency made by the Lenders shall thereupon constitute a Base Rate Advance.

- 43 -

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Financing Providers.

(d)    In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(e)    The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.04, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.04.

(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Calculation Period" for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Calculation Period" for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

- 44 -

(g)    Upon the Company's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any request for an Advance denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency in, conversion to or continuation of Advances denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency in the applicable Permitted Currency to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Company will be deemed to have converted any request for an Advance denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency into a request for a Base Rate Advance or conversion of an outstanding Advance to a Base Rate Advance.

The property credited to any Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker's lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the Collateral Agent (except that the Securities Intermediary may set-off (1) all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Accounts, and (2) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to any Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).

The establishment and maintenance of each Account and all interests, duties and obligations related thereto shall be governed by the law of the State of New York and the "securities intermediary's jurisdiction" (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) shall be the State of New York. The parties further agree that the law applicable to all of the issues in Article 2(1) of The Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an Intermediary shall be the law of the State of New York. Terms used in this Section 8.01 without definition have the meanings given to them in the UCC.

(f)     No Duties. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Securities Intermediary shall not have any additional duties under this Agreement other than those expressly set forth in this Section 8.01, and the Securities Intermediary shall satisfy those duties expressly set forth in this Section 8.01 so long as it acts without gross negligence, fraud, reckless disregard or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Securities Intermediary shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, and the Securities Intermediary shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers.

(ii)     While an Event of Default is not occurring and a Market Value Event has not occurred and subject to satisfaction of the Borrowing Base Test and Section 2.03(g) (each after giving effect to such release), the Portfolio Manager may direct, by means of an instruction in writing to the Securities Intermediary (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator), the release of funds on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account, the CAD Unfunded Exposure Account, the EUR Unfunded Exposure Account or the GBP Unfunded Exposure Account (i) for the purpose of funding the Company's unfunded commitments with respect to Delayed Funding Term Loans and Revolving Loans, for deposit into the Collection Account, the CAD Collection Account, the EUR Collection Account or the GBP Collection Account, as applicable, and (ii) so long as no Unfunded Exposure Shortfall (determined in an aggregate basis and with respect to each Permitted Currency individually) exists or would exist after giving effect to the withdrawal.

(a)     Grant of Security Interest. As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all the Company's obligations to the Agents and the Lenders (collectively, the "Secured Parties") under this Agreement (collectively, the "Secured Obligations"), the Company has granted on the Original Effective Date, and hereby confirms the grant and pledges again to the Collateral Agent and grants a continuing security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent in all of the Company's right, title and interest in, to and under (in each case, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising) all accounts, payment intangibles, general intangibles, chattel paper, electronic chattel paper, instruments, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, investment property, and any and all other property of any type or nature owned by it (all of the property described in this clause (a) being collectively referred to herein as "Collateral"), including: (1) each Portfolio Investment, (2) all of the Company's interests in the Accounts and all investments, obligations and other property from time to time credited thereto, (3) the Parent Sale Agreement and all rights related thereto, (4) the Company's equity interest in the Permitted Subsidiary, all rights relating thereto, and any other interest of the Company in the Permitted Subsidiary, (5) all other property of the Company and (6) all proceeds thereof, all accessions to and substitutions and replacements for, any of the foregoing, and all rents, profits and products of any thereof.

(2)     in the case of each general intangible, by notifying the obligor thereunder of the security interest of the Collateral Agent;

(3)     in the case of Portfolio Investments consisting of money or instruments (the "New York Collateral") that do not constitute a financial asset forming the basis of a security entitlement delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to clause (1) above, by causing (x) the Collateral Agent to obtain possession of such New York Collateral in the State of New York, or (y) a person other than the Company and a securities intermediary (A)(I) to obtain possession of such New York Collateral in the State of New York, and (II) to then authenticate a record acknowledging that it holds possession of such New York Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent or (B)(I) to authenticate a record acknowledging that it will take possession of such New York Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and (II) to then acquire possession of such New York Collateral in the State of New York;

(5)     in all cases, by filing or causing the filing of a financing statement with respect to such Collateral with the Delaware Secretary of State.

(c)     Remedies, Etc. During the period in which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall (but only if and to the extent directed in writing by the Required Financing Providers, with a copy to the Company) do any of the following:

(1)     Exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent's or its designee's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent or a designee of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Financing Providers) may deem commercially reasonable. The Company agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days' prior notice to the Company of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent or its designee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

- 69 -

(2)     Transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Collateral Agent or a nominee thereof.

(3)     Enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with respect thereto.

(8)     Without limitation to the foregoing, exercise any available rights and remedies under the Equity Pledge Agreement and the Asset Pledge Agreement.

(d)     Compliance with Restrictions. The Company and the Portfolio Manager agree that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent or its designee are hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel in writing is necessary in order to avoid any violation of Applicable Law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental regulatory authority or official, and the Company and the Portfolio Manager further agree that such compliance shall not, in and of itself, result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Collateral Agent be liable or accountable to the Company or the Portfolio Manager for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in good faith compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

(e)     Private Sale. The Collateral Agent shall incur no liability as a result of a sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to clause (c) above conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. The Company and the Portfolio Manager hereby waive any claims against each Agent and Financing Provider arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale.

- 70 -

(f)     Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Company hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as the Company's attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of the Company by this appointment), with full authority in the place and stead of the Company and in the name of the Company, from time to time in the Collateral Agent's discretion (exercised at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Financing Providers, as the case may be), after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent or the Required Financing Providers may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. The Company hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant to this clause is irrevocable during the term of this Agreement and is coupled with an interest.

(g)     Further Assurances. The Company covenants and agrees that, from time to time upon the request of the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent), the Company will execute and deliver such further documents, and do such other acts and things as the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent) may reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement and to protect and preserve the priority and validity of the security interest granted hereunder or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral; provided that no such document may alter the rights and protections afforded to the Company or the Portfolio Manager herein.

(h)     Termination. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations and termination of the Financing Commitments, the security interest granted herein shall automatically (and without further action by any party) terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Company. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent will, at the Company's sole expense, deliver to the Company, or cause the Securities Intermediary to deliver, without any representations, warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing all of the Collateral held by the Securities Intermediary hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Company or its nominee such documents as the Company shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(i)     Release of Security Interest upon Disposition of Collateral. Upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral (or portion thereof) that is permitted hereunder, the security interest granted hereunder in such Portfolio Investment or other Collateral (or the portion thereof which has been sold or otherwise disposed of) shall, immediately upon the sale or other disposition of such Loan or other Collateral (or such portion) and without any further action on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, be released. Upon any such release, the Collateral Agent will, at the Company's sole expense, deliver to the Company, or cause the Securities Intermediary to deliver, without any representations, warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing all of the Collateral held by the Securities Intermediary hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Company or its nominee such documents as the Company shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

Article IX
THE AGENTS

Section 9.01.     Appointment of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Each of the Financing Providers hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (each, an "Agent" and collectively, the "Agents") as its agent and authorize such Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Agent and each Financing Provider hereby agree that no Financing Provider shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Collateral shall be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties at the direction of the Administrative Agent.

- 71 -

Each financial institution serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Financing Provider (if applicable) as any other Financing Provider and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such financial institution and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

No Agent or the Collateral Administrator shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except that the foregoing shall not limit any duty expressly set forth in this Agreement to include such rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by (i) in the case of the Collateral Agent (A) in respect of the exercise of remedies under Section 8.02(c), the Required Financing Providers, or (B) in all other cases, the Administrative Agent or (ii) in the case of any Agent, the Required Financing Providers (or such other number or percentage of the Financing Providers as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided herein), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company that is communicated to or obtained by the financial institution serving in the capacity of such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or with the consent or at the request or direction of the Administrative Agent (in the case of the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Agent only) or the Required Financing Providers (or such other number or percentage of the Financing Providers that shall be permitted herein to direct such action or forbearance). None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default, Event of Default, Market Value Event, failure of the Borrowing Base Test or failure of the Minimum Equity Test unless and until a Responsible Officer has received written notice thereof from the Company, a Financing Provider or the Administrative Agent. None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, value or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other agreement, instrument or document or the Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent shall be required to risk or expend its own funds in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder if it reasonably believes it will not receive reimbursement therefor hereunder.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, direction, opinion, document or other writing reasonably believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it in good faith to be made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts selected by it with due care.

- 72 -

In the event the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator shall receive conflicting instruction from the Administrative Agent and the Required Financing Providers, the instruction of the Required Financing Providers shall govern. Neither the Collateral Administrator nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations under or in respect of any other agreement (including any agreement that may be referenced herein) to which it is not a party. The grant of any permissive right or power to the Collateral Agent hereunder shall not be construed to impose a duty to act.

It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Collateral Administrator nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for, and shall not be under any duty to monitor or determine, compliance with the Eligibility Criteria (Schedule 3) or the Concentration Limitations (Schedule 4) in any instance, to determine if the conditions of "Deliver" have been satisfied or otherwise to monitor or determine compliance by any other person with the requirements of this Agreement.

Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. No agent shall be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any sub-agent or attorney appointed by such Agent with due care. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of such person and its Affiliates (the "Related Parties") for such Agent. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor as provided in this paragraph, each of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days' notice to each other agent, the Financing Providers, the Portfolio Manager and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Financing Providers shall have the right (with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or Market Value Event has occurred, the consent of the Company and the Portfolio Manager) to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Financing Providers and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Collateral Administrator, Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary or Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice of its resignation, then the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Financing Providers, appoint a successor which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Administrative Agent and shall have accepted such appointment within sixty (60) days after the retiring agent gives notice of its resignation, such agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring agent, and the retiring agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the retiring agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Sections 5.03 and 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

- 73 -

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor as provided in this paragraph, each of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary may be removed at any time with 30 days' notice by the Company (with the written consent of the Administrative Agent), with notice to the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Financing Providers and the Portfolio Manager. Upon any such removal, the Company shall have the right (with the consent of the Administrative Agent) to appoint a successor to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and/or the Securities Intermediary, as applicable. If no successor to any such person shall have been so appointed by the Company and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after such notice of removal, then the Administrative Agent may appoint a successor which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the removed agent, and the removed agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the removed agent's removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Sections 5.03 and 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such removed agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

Upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent or the successor agent, such retiring or removed agent shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor agent all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring or removed agent, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor agent all property and money held by such retiring or removed agent hereunder. Upon request of any such successor agent, the Company and the Administrative Agent shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor agent all such rights, powers and trusts.

Each Financing Provider acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Financing Provider and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Financing Provider also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Financing Provider and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Anything in this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event shall any Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if such Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, has been advised of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Each Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer or officers of such Agent or the Collateral Administrator, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent or the Collateral Administrator was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

Each Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any certificate, statement, direction or opinion furnished to it in connection with this Agreement.

- 74 -

Each Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, consent, order, approval, bond or other document or have any responsibility for filing or recording any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder.

No Agent shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts include but are not limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots and acts of war. In connection with any payment, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator are entitled to rely conclusively on any instructions provided to them by the Administrative Agent.

The rights, protections and immunities given to the Agents in this Section 9.01, Section 9.02(c) and Section 9.02(h) shall likewise be available and applicable to the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator.

Section 9.02.     Additional Provisions Relating to the Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator.

(a)     Collateral Agent May Perform. The Collateral Agent shall from time to time take such action (at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Financing Providers) for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein, provided that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to take any such action in the absence of such direction and shall have no obligation to comply with any such direction if it reasonably believes that the same (1) is contrary to Applicable Law or (2) might subject the Collateral Agent to any loss, liability, cost or expense, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Financing Providers, as the case may be, issuing such instruction makes provision satisfactory to the Collateral Agent for payment of same.

With respect to actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Administrative Agent; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Required Financing Providers or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the determination of the Collateral Agent, (1) is contrary to Applicable Law or (2) is reasonably likely to subject the Collateral Agent to any loss, liability, cost or expense, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Financing Providers, as the case may be, issuing such instruction make provision satisfactory to the Collateral Agent for payment of same. In the event the Collateral Agent requests the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such request, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action. Any action to be taken or not taken and any discretion to be exercised by the Collateral Agent under the Asset Pledge Agreement and the Equity Pledge Agreement will be done solely at the direction of the Administrative Agent.

If, in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Agent may request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it. If the Collateral Agent does not receive such instructions within five (5) Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action and shall have no liability in connection therewith except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with instructions received after such five (5) Business Day period except to the extent it has already, in good faith, taken or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions.

- 75 -

(b)     Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession, provided that the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as the Company reasonably requests at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but failure of the Collateral Agent to comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care. The Collateral Agent will not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any liens thereon.

(c)     Collateral Agent Not Liable. Except to the extent arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, criminal conduct, fraud or reckless disregard of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable by reason of its compliance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to (1) the investment of funds held thereunder in Eligible Investments (other than for losses attributable to the Collateral Agent's failure to make payments on investments issued by the Collateral Agent, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as collateral agent, in accordance with their terms) or (2) losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its stated maturity.

(d)     Certain Rights and Obligations of the Collateral Agent. Without further consent or authorization from any Financing Providers, the Collateral Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to release any lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or as otherwise permitted or required hereunder or to which the Required Financing Providers have otherwise consented.

This Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

- 78 -

(c)     To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, neither the Company nor any Indemnitee shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against the Company or any Indemnitee, as applicable, 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 agreement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby, any Financing or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(d)     If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Financing Provider and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Financing Provider or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Company against any of and all the obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Financing Provider, irrespective of whether or not such Financing Provider shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Financing Provider under this clause (d) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Financing Provider may have.

The rights of the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Section 10.04 are not exclusive of the rights of such Persons pursuant to the Equity Pledge Agreement, the Asset Pledge Agreement or any other Loan Document and under the laws of any jurisdiction outside of the United States.

- 79 -

Section 10.06. Successors; Assignments.

(a)     The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Portfolio Manager, the Administrative Agent and each Financing Provider (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Company without such consent shall be null and void) and the Portfolio Manager may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)     Subject to the conditions set forth below, any Lender may assign to one or more banks or other financial institutions (or Affiliates thereof) or, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or after the occurrence of a Market Value Event, any other person, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Financing Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Financing Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender (or any Affiliate thereof) with a Financing Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement; (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent; and (C) unless a Market Value Event has occurred or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender may assign this Agreement or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Person that is primarily engaged in alternative asset management, including, without limitation, any private equity fund, distressed asset fund or hedge fund, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Company.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof below, from and after the effective date specified in each assignment and assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment and assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment and assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment and assumption covering all of the assigning Xxxxxx's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto as a Lender but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.03 and 10.04).

The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each assignment and assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Financing Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the parties hereto shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, any Lender and the Portfolio Manager, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon its receipt of a duly completed assignment and assumption executed by an assigning Xxxxxx and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall accept such assignment and assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.

- 80 -

(c)     Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a "Lender Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Financing Commitment and the Advances owing to it); provided that (1) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (2) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (3) the Company, the Agents and the other Financing Providers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Xxxxxx's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Lender Participant, agree to any Material Amendment that affects such Lender Participant. As used herein, "Material Amendment" means any amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreement that (i) increases the Financing Commitment of any Lender, (ii) reduces the principal amount of any Advance or reduces the rate of interest thereon, or reduces any fees payable hereunder, (iii) postpones the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Advance, or any interest thereon, or any other amounts payable hereunder, or reduces the amount of, waives or excuses any such payment, or postpones the scheduled date of expiration of any Financing Commitment, (iv) changes any provision in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required hereby, or (v) changes any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of "Required Financing Providers" or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Financing Providers required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder. No Lender Participant shall be a Person that is primarily engaged in alternative asset management, including, without limitation, any private equity fund, distressed asset fund or hedge fund, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Company.

(d)     Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Lender Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Lender Participant's interest in the Advances or other obligations under this Agreement (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 Lender Participant or any information relating to a Lender Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan 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 and Section 1.163-5 of the proposed 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. The Company agrees that each Lender Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01(e) and 3.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.03(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.03(f) shall be delivered to the Lender that sells the participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section; provided that such Lender Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.01(f) relating to Lenders as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 10.06; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01(e) and 3.03, with respect to any participation, than the Lender that sells the participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Lender or the Lender Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions set forth in Section 3.01(f) with respect to any Lender Participant.
