ARTICLE II. THE FACILITY

SECTION 2.01 Establishment of Term Loan Series; Advances.

(a)On the terms hereinafter set forth, (i) on the Closing Date, the Borrower and the Lenders establish a series of term loans (such series of term loans, “Term Loan Series 2022-1”) and (ii) after the Closing Date, the Borrower may at its option, by delivery of a Term Loan Series Notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, from time to time on any Business Day request that the Lenders establish a new series of term loans hereunder (together with Term Loan Series 2022-1, each, a “Term Loan Series”), which Term Loan Series is on a pari passu basis with all other Term Loan Series and cross-collateralized and secured on a pari passu basis with the Collateral. Together with the Term Loan Series Notice, the Borrower shall deliver a Loan Asset Schedule of the Loan Assets to Relate to such proposed Term Loan Series to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Lenders shall deliver a response to the Administrative Agent with respect to any requested Term Loan Series Notice no later than five Business Days after receipt of the related Term Loan Series Notice and to the extent any Lender fails to so respond, such Lender is deemed to have rejected such request. Each Lender must approve any requested Term Loan Series and each Lender’s Commitment with respect to such Term Loan Series must be the percentage interest as it owns in each other Term Loan Series outstanding at such time. Each Term Loan Series will have the name assigned thereto on the Confirmation for such Term Loan Series, be subject to the Applicable Spread and have such other terms and conditions as are specified on the Confirmation for such Term Loan Series, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time with only the consent of the Borrower and the Lenders. Term Loan Series 2022-1 will have the terms set forth for such Term Loan Series in this Agreement.

(b)With respect to each Term Loan Series and on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Borrower may at its option, from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period for such Term Loan Series, request that the Lenders make Advances to it in an amount which after giving effect to such Advances, would not cause the aggregate Advances Outstanding under such Term Loan Series to exceed the Maximum Availability for such Term Loan Series on such date (after giving effect to any Transfer effectuated from the use of proceeds thereof). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.01(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender is obligated to make any Advance under a Term Loan Series in an amount that would, after giving effect to such Advance, exceed such Lender’s Commitment for such Term Loan Series less the aggregate outstanding amount of any Advances funded by such Lender under such Term Loan Series. Each Advance to be made hereunder shall

27

be made by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares for the Term Loan Series under which such Advance is made.

(c)If a Commitment Termination Date has occurred as a result of clause (b) of the definition thereof or the Availability Period has been terminated or suspended upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Commitment Termination Date pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof shall be deemed not to have occurred and the Availability Period will be reinstated once the Administrative Agent (acting at the written direction of the Majority Lenders) waives the Event of Default which gave rise to such termination or suspension in accordance with Section 10.01.

SECTION 2.02    Procedure for Advances.

(a)The Borrower shall request an Advance by delivery of a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, with a copy to the Facility Servicer, no later than 2:00 p.m. two Business Days immediately prior to the proposed date of such Advance (or such shorter period of time agreed to by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in their sole discretion); provided that if the proposed date of the initial Advance is the Closing Date, the Notice of Borrowing with respect to the initial Advance may be delivered on the Closing Date. Each Notice of Borrowing must be accompanied by (i) a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate for the Term Loan Series under which the requested Advance is to be made,

(ii)a Portfolio LTV Certificate (each of the Borrowing Base Certificate and Portfolio LTV Certificate as giving pro forma effect to the Advance requested and the use of the proceeds thereof) and (iii) if the proceeds of such Advance are to be used in connection with the Transfer of a Loan Asset, a Loan Asset Certificate, and specify:

(i)the Term Loan Series under which such Advance is to be made;

(ii)the amount of such Advance, which must be at least equal to $1,000,000 (or, with respect to any Advance the proceeds of which are to be used to fund a Delayed Draw, $250,000);

(iii)the proposed date of such Advance (which must be a Business Day) and detailed instructions as to where the proceeds of such Advance are to be deposited or transferred;

(v)if the proceeds of such Advance are to be used to fund a Delayed Draw, the amount of such Delayed Draw and the Delayed Draw Loan Asset to which it applies;

On the Advance Date of each Advance, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, each Lender shall, in accordance with instructions received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower, make available to the Borrower, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (for the applicable Term Loan Series) of such Advance, by payment into the account which the Borrower has designated in writing.

(c)The obligation of each Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share (for the applicable Term Loan Series) of any Advance is several from that of each other Lender and the failure of any Lender to so make such amount available to the Borrower shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. In no event shall the Administrative Agent have any liability or obligation to fund any Advance.

SECTION 2.03    Evidence of Debt.

(a)Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower (each, a “Term Loan Series Note”), in a form approved by the Initial Lender, payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered and permitted assigns), which shall evidence such Lender’s Advances in addition to the records set forth in Section 2.03(b).

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.

(c)To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and (ii) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.07 Collections and Allocations.

(a)The Borrower, or the Portfolio Asset Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, shall direct (i) the Obligor and any Underlying Servicer for any Loan Asset that is not a loan participation interest to remit all Collections with respect to such Loan Asset directly to the applicable Underlying Servicer Account, (ii) each Underlying Servicer to, within two Business Days after the identification and receipt of available funds thereof, remit Collections with respect to any Loan Asset from the applicable Underlying Servicer Account to the Collection Account and (iii) any Counterparty Lender to cause the Obligor (or, to the extent applicable, such Counterparty Lender or the Underlying Servicer) for any Loan Asset that is a loan participation interest to remit all Collections with respect to such Loan Asset directly to the Collection Account.

(c)Upon receipt of Collections in the Collection Account, the Borrower shall, or shall cause the Underlying Servicers to, promptly identify any Collections received as being on account of Principal Collections, Interest Collections or Excluded Amounts and will identify the Term Loan Series from which such Collections or Excluded Amounts were received. The Borrower shall, or shall direct the Underlying Servicers to, further include a statement as to the amount of Principal Collections, Interest Collections and Excluded Amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (and the Term Loan Series from which such Principal Collections, Interest Collections and Excluded Amounts were received) on each Reporting Date (after giving effect to transfers made by the Underlying Servicers to such Collection Account on such date, if any) in the Servicing Report delivered pursuant to Section 8.08(a).

39

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender which is not otherwise included in the definition of LIBOR or applicable successor rate hereunder;

(ii)subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Taxes indemnified under Section 2.13 (including Other Taxes) or (B) Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Advances, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, within twelve Business Days after the submission of the certificate contemplated by Section 2.12(c), the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, 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 Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender 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), then from time to time the Borrower 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.

(c)A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.12(a) or (b) and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the next Payment Date that is not less than 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

40

SECTION 2.13    Taxes.

(a)Payments made by or on account of the Borrower (including those made by the Facility Servicer from the Collection Account on behalf of the Borrower to the extent amounts are available in the Collection Account) under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower or the Facility Servicer, as applicable). If any Taxes are required by Applicable Law to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, if such tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the amount payable to such Person will be increased (the amount of such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that the net amount of such payment after withholding for or on account of such Indemnified Taxes (including any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld in respect of such increase) is equal to the amount that would have been received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Any amounts deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 2.13(a) will be timely paid by the applicable withholding agent to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b)The Borrower will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes payable by such Person in respect of, or required to be withheld from (without duplication with Section 2.13(a)), payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder, including Indemnified Taxes imposed or assessed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.13 and any liability (including penalties, interest and 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 the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to the Borrower, with a copy to the Facility Servicer.

(c)Each Lender will indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting or expanding any obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 2.03 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 and the Facility Servicer in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lender by the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer is conclusive absent manifest error. All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to the applicable Lender.

(d)Within 15 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower or, at the direction of the Borrower, by the Facility Servicer from the Collection Account on behalf of the Borrower (to the extent amounts are available in the Collection Account) to the applicable Governmental Authority of any Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.13 or Section 10.07(b), the Borrower or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, will furnish to the Administrative Agent at the applicable address set forth on this Agreement, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of

41

the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to the extent received by the Facility Servicer or the Borrower, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, in no case or circumstance is the Facility Servicer liable to pay any Taxes under this Agreement, and if it pays any such amounts, it will solely be on behalf of the Borrower, from the Collection Account to the extent amounts are available therein.

(e)A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Facility Servicer, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Facility Servicer, such properly completed and executed documentation or information prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate (or otherwise permit the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Facility Servicer to determine the applicable rate of withholding); provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and, other than in the case of the forms and documentation specifically described in this Section 2.13(e) or in Section 2.13(f), in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender (including any assignee thereof) that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Facility Servicer two properly completed and duly executed copies of whichever (if any) of the following is applicable for claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payment by the Borrower under this Agreement: (i) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (claiming the benefits of an applicable tax treaty), W-8IMY, W-8EXP or W-8ECI or (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit I to the effect that such Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code and a Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, in each case (A) with any required attachments (including, with respect to any Lender that provides an U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, any of the forms or other documentation described in clauses (i) and (ii) above for any of the direct or indirect owners of such Lender) and (B) any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto. In addition, each Lender (including any assignee thereof) that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Facility Servicer two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, properly completed and duly executed and claiming complete exemption, or shall otherwise establish an exemption, from U.S. backup withholding. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender five Business Days prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon becoming aware or receiving notice of the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Facility Servicer at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Facility Servicer (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to deliver. The Facility Servicer is entitled to withhold all amounts required to be withheld by Applicable Law from any payment hereunder to any Lender until such Lender shall have furnished to the Facility Servicer any requested forms, certificates, statements or documents. For the purposes of this Section 2.13(e), “Lender” shall

42

include any other recipients of payments on the Collateral as directed by any Lender to the Facility Servicer.

(f)If a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Facility Servicer at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Facility Servicer such documentation prescribed by law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Facility Servicer as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Facility Servicer 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, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.13(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

(g)If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes for which it was indemnified by the Borrower, or the Facility Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, in each case, pursuant to this Section 2.13 or with respect to which the Borrower or the Facility Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, in each case, has paid Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13, it shall pay to the Borrower or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or the Facility Servicer on behalf of the Borrower, in each case, under this Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes or Additional Amounts giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including additional Taxes, if any) of such Lender, as the case may be, incurred in obtaining such refund, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, shall repay to such Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.13(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.13(g), in no event will the Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.13(g) the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(h)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.13 survive the termination of this Agreement.

(i)The Borrower hereby covenants with the Administrative Agent that the Borrower will provide the Administrative Agent with sufficient information so as to enable the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not the Administrative Agent is obliged to make any withholding, including FATCA Withholding Tax, in respect of any payments with respect to an Advance (and if applicable, to provide the necessary detailed information to effectuate any withholding, including FATCA Withholding Tax, such as

43

setting forth applicable amounts to be withheld). For the avoidance of doubt, the term ‘applicable law’ for purposes of this Section 2.13(i) includes U.S. federal tax law and FATCA. Upon request from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will provide such additional information that it may have to assist the Administrative Agent in making any withholdings or informational reports.

(j)If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States of America or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent or any other Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify promptly the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Person as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all reasonable expenses incurred.

(k)The Lenders and any transferees or assignees thereof after the Closing Date will be required to provide to the Administrative Agent or its agents all information, documentation or certifications reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to permit the Administrative Agent to comply with its tax reporting obligations under Applicable Laws, including any applicable cost basis reporting obligations.

SECTION 2.14 Defaulting Lenders.

(a)Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i)Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Lenders and Section 10.01.

(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VI or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.13 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (acting in accordance with the written direction of the Initial Lender or, if the Initial Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Majority Lenders) as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer or the Collateral Custodian in connection with this Agreement; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the written instructions of the Initial Lender (or Majority Lenders if the Initial Lender is the Defaulting Lender); third, if so determined by the Initial Lender (or Majority Lenders if the Initial Lender is the Defaulting Lender) and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement; fourth, as such amounts are provided to the Administrative Agent, to the payment of any amounts owing to the

44

Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, as such amounts are provided to the Administrative Agent, so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, as such amounts are provided to the Administrative Agent, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (B) such Advances were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders at such time on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and (if not a Defaulting Lender) the Initial Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender and (ii) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)Termination of Defaulting Lender. The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than ten Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.14(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.15    Valuation.

(a)The Borrower shall value the Loan Assets in accordance with, and as often as provided for by, the terms of the Valuation Policy and this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing and in connection with the valuation of the Loan Assets, the Borrower shall conduct appraisals on the Underlying Collateral for such Loan Assets at the end of each calendar year (commencing, for any applicable Loan

45

Asset, with the next succeeding calendar year to occur after the Cut-Off Date for such Loan Asset) and shall provide the Facility Servicer with a copy of such valuations promptly upon receipt thereof.

(b)If (i) the Initial Lender reasonably believes that the Value as determined by the Sponsor pursuant to the Valuation Policy is materially inaccurate with respect to any Loan Asset (unless such Value has been confirmed by KPMG or such other third party accountant as is reasonably acceptable to the Initial Lender or such Loan Asset is subject to a recent valuation established by an independent third party) or (ii) the Borrower fails to timely Value any Loan Asset in accordance with the Valuation Policy and such Loan Asset is not subject to a recent valuation established by an independent third party, the Initial Lender may request that such Loan Asset be independently valued by giving written notice thereof to the Borrower. Subject to the limits described below, the Initial Lender may make such a request at any time and there are no limits to the number of times the Initial Lender can make such a request. If the Initial Lender requests the independent valuation of a Loan Asset hereunder, such Loan Asset will be valued by an Approved External Appraiser (as defined below) selected by the Initial Lender. The Borrower shall pay the cost of any independent valuation other than as set forth below.

(c)In the case of a valuation requested in the circumstances described in Section 2.15(b)(i), if the difference between the Value of a Loan Asset determined by the Valuation Policy and the Value determined by the Approved External Appraiser is:

(i)less than 5% below the Value determined by the Valuation Policy therefor, then the Value determined by the Valuation Policy will be used (and the cost of such independent valuation will be at the expense of the Lenders unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time);

(ii)between 5% and 20% below the Value determined by the Valuation Policy therefor, then Value for such Loan Asset will be the average of the Value determined by the Valuation Policy therefor and the value determined by the Approved External Appraiser therefor; and

(iii)greater than 20% below the Value determined by the Valuation Policy therefor, then the Borrower and the Initial Lender shall retain an additional Approved External Appraiser to value such Loan Asset and the Value for such Loan Asset will be the average of the three valuations (the Value determined by the Valuation Policy, the value determined by the Approved External Appraiser selected by the Initial Lender and the value determined by the Approved External Appraiser selected by the Borrower and the Initial Lender), and until such additional Approved External Appraiser has valued such Loan Asset, the Value for such Loan Asset will be the value determined by the Approved External Appraiser selected by the Initial Lender.

(d)In the case of a valuation requested in the circumstances described in Section 2.15(b)(ii), the Value of the Loan Asset determined by the Approved External Appraiser will be used.

The value of any Loan Asset for which an Approved External Appraiser’s value is used will be the midpoint of the range (if any) determined by such Approved External Appraiser. The Approved External Appraiser shall apply a recognized valuation methodology as set forth in the Valuation Policy for valuing portfolio investments of the type of the applicable Loan Asset. “Approved External Appraiser” means Chatham, CBRE, Duff & Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Capital, Inc., FTI Consulting, Inc., Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx

46

and Company, Lincoln International LLC, Valuation Research Corporation or any other independent nationally recognized third-party appraisal firm mutually agreed to between the Borrower and the Initial Lender.

SECTION 2.16 Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document:

(a)Replacing LIBOR. On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of one-month LIBOR tenor settings. On the earlier of (i) the date that LIBOR as determined hereunder has been permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or has been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and (ii) the Early Opt-in Effective Date, with respect to each Term Loan Series for which the then-current Benchmark is LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark for each such Term Loan Series on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(b)Replacing Future Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, with respect to any then-applicable Benchmark with respect to any Term Loan Series, the Facility Servicer and the Borrower may amend this Agreement or any related Confirmations to replace the applicable Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. The Borrower and Facility Servicer shall notify the Administrative Agent of any such amendment and provide the Administrative Agent with copies thereof. Any such proposed amendment will become effective at 5:00

p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders accept such amendment.

(c)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement (including under Section 2.16(b)), the Facility Servicer will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes (after consultation with the Borrower) from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, after consultation with the Borrower, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, no Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective until the Administrative Agent confirms that it is capable of being operationally implemented by the Administrative Agent. In no event shall any changes pursuant to this Section 2.16, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, affect the rights, indemnities or obligations of the Administrative Agent.

(d)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Facility Servicer will promptly notify the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark

47

Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor for a Benchmark that is a term rate. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Facility Servicer or, if applicable, the Borrower or any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.16, 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, 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 hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.16 and the related definitions.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, (i) the Lenders may decline to make any Advance hereunder, terminate or suspend their Commitment, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall, at the written direction of the Majority Lenders, or the Majority Lenders may declare the Advances to be immediately due and payable in full (without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower) and any other Obligations to be immediately due and payable; provided that, in the case of any event described in Section 6.01(i), the Commitments automatically terminate and the Advances and other Obligations become immediately due and payable in full (without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower) without the need of any notice to the Borrower upon the occurrence of such event and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall, at the written direction of the Majority Lenders, instruct the Account Bank to distribute all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as described in Section 2.08(d) (provided that the Borrower shall in any event remain liable to pay such Advances and all such amounts and Obligations immediately in accordance with Section 2.08(d)).

(i)Holdings shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Equity or any part thereof and Holdings agrees that it shall exercise such rights for purposes consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

68

(ii)Holdings shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Equity (without any obligation to contribute such amounts to the Collection Account), to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends and other distributions are not prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Applicable Law; provided that any noncash dividends or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Equity, shall be and become part of the Pledged Equity, and, if received by Holdings, shall not be commingled by Holdings with any of its other property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and Holdings shall promptly take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure the validity, perfection and priority (subject to Permitted Liens), including promptly delivering the same to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent). So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with Holdings with respect to making exchanges of Pledged Equity in connection with any exchange or redemption of such Pledged Equity not prohibited by this Agreement, which such cooperation shall include delivery of any such Pledged Equity in exchange for replacement Pledged Equity. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any costs or expenses incurred due to the provisions of this Section 6.02(a)(ii).

All dividends or other distributions received by Holdings contrary to the provisions of this Section 6.02(b) shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of Holdings and shall be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02(b) shall be retained by the Administrative Agent in the Collection Account and shall be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. After all Events of Default have been waived or are no longer continuing, the Administrative Agent, upon written direction of the Majority Lenders, shall promptly repay to Holdings (without interest) all dividends or other distributions that Holdings would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of Section 6.02(a)(ii) and that remain in such account.

(c)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and after the delivery of notice to Holdings) or upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 6.01(i) (without notice), then (i) all rights of Holdings to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6.02(a)(i) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers acting at the written direction of the Majority Lenders; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit

69

Holdings to exercise such rights and (ii) in order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, Holdings shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Administrative Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request. After all Events of Default have been waived, Holdings shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting or consensual rights and powers that Holdings would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 6.02(a)(i).

(d)Any notice given by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower under this Section 6.02 shall be given in writing.

SECTION 6.03    Additional Remedies.

(a)Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and without limiting the remedies provided in this Article VI, the Administrative Agent shall, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or the Pledged Equity at public or private sales and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or disposition, (ii) instruct the obligor or obligors on any account, agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting Collateral or Pledged Equity to make any payment required by the terms of such account, agreement, instrument or other obligation to or at the direction of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders), (iii) give notice of sole control or any other instruction under the Account Control Agreement, any other account control agreement with respect to the Underlying Servicer Accounts and take any action therein with respect to Collateral subject thereto, (iv) in accordance with Section 6.02, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Equity, exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Equity for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, including exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Pledged Equity, and otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Equity as though the Administrative Agent was the absolute owner thereof and (v) in accordance with Section 6.02, collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made on any Pledged Equity.

(b)Any Collateral or Pledged Equity to be sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to this Article VI may be sold or disposed of in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable), for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Any sale or disposition of Collateral or Pledged Equity may be made without the Administrative Agent giving warranties of any kind with respect to such sale or disposition and the Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. The Administrative Agent may comply with any applicable State or federal law requirements in connection with a sale or disposition of the Collateral or Pledged Equity and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale or disposition. If any notice of a proposed sale or disposition of the Collateral or Pledged Equity is required by law, such notice is deemed commercially reasonable and proper if given at least ten days before such sale or disposition. The Administrative Agent has the right upon any public sale of Collateral or Pledged Equity and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale of Collateral or Pledged Equity, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral or Pledged Equity so sold or disposed of free of any right of equity redemption,

70

which equity redemption the Borrower hereby waives. Upon any sale or disposition of Collateral or Pledged Equity, the Administrative Agent has the right to deliver and transfer to the purchaser or transferee thereof the Collateral or Pledged Equity so sold or disposed of.

(c)After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the written request of the Facility Servicer or the Administrative Agent (acting at the written direction of the Majority Lenders), the Borrower shall furnish the Facility Servicer and Administrative Agent, as applicable, with an appropriate power of attorney to send (at the written direction of the Majority Lenders) notification forms to the Obligors or any agent, administrative agent, Counterparty Lender, Underlying Servicer or issuer of a Portfolio Asset of the Administrative Agent’s interest in the Collateral and the obligation to make payments as directed by the Administrative Agent (acting at the written direction of the Majority Lenders).

(d)For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement (including this Article VI) shall be subject to the special servicing activities provisions in Section 8.06.

ARTICLE VII.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 7.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Trimont Real Estate Advisors, LLC to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, and neither the Borrower nor Holdings shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Transaction Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

SECTION 7.02 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a)The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Transaction Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Transaction Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Transaction Document or Applicable Law, including for the

71

avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law; and

(iii)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b)The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it or errors in judgment made (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Article VI and Section 10.01), or

(ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by a Loan Party, the Portfolio Asset Servicer, the Facility Servicer or a Lender.

(c)The Administrative Agent shall not 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 or any other Transaction Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.03 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or Holdings), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, 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.

SECTION 7.04 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such

72

sub-agents may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VII shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

SECTION 7.05 Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent.

(a)The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Initial Lender shall have the right to appoint a successor with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such consent not being required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Initial Lender and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Initial Lender) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Competitor shall be appointed as a successor Administrative Agent.

(b)The Initial Lender may, with 30 days’ notice to Administrative Agent, remove Administrative Agent (the “Removal Effective Date”). Upon receipt of any such notice of removal, the Initial Lender shall have the right to appoint a successor with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such consent not being required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Initial Lender and shall have accepted such appointment prior to the Removal Effective Date, then the removed Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the parties hereto, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such removal shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Competitor shall be appointed as a successor Administrative Agent.

(c)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or Removal Effective Date, as applicable,

(i)the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Transaction Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any fees, expenses and indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Initial Lender appoints a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to fees, expenses and indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents. The fees payable by the

73

Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Article VII and Section 10.07 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative 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 the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.06 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 other Transaction Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 7.07 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties under Section 10.07) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 10.07.

SECTION 7.08    Collateral Matters.

(a)Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (i) as provided in Section 2.11 or (ii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.01. Upon request by the Administrative

(b)Without limiting Section 7.09(a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer or any of their Affiliates (i) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer or any of their Affiliates, as applicable, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment (a “Payment Notice”), (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice or (iii) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i)an error may have been made (in the case of immediately preceding clauses (a) or (b)) or an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (c)) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)such Payment Recipient shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 7.09(b).

(c)Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer to such Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, under Section 7.09(a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d)In the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with Section 7.09(a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s or the Facility Servicer’s request to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (such assignment of

76

the Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption Agreement by reference pursuant to an approved electronic platform as to which the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any promissory notes evidencing such Advances to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 7.09 survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or the Facility Servicer, as applicable, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF COLLATERAL PORTFOLIO

SECTION 8.01    Appointment and Designation of the Applicable Servicer.

(b)Initial Applicable Servicer.

(i)The Borrower and the Lenders hereby appoint Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as Facility Servicer, with the authority to service, administer and exercise rights and remedies, on behalf of the Borrower, in respect of the Collection Account, and to take the actions required of it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and responsibilities of the Facility Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof until such time as it resigns or is removed as Facility Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Facility Servicer and the Borrower hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties are third party beneficiaries of the obligations undertaken by the Facility Servicer hereunder.

(ii)The Facility Servicer and the Lenders hereby appoint the Borrower, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as Portfolio Asset Servicer, with the authority to oversee and supervise the Underlying Servicers, in respect of the payments to the Borrower under the Collateral Portfolio that are to be Collections, and to take the actions required of it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. The Borrower hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and responsibilities of the Portfolio Asset Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof until such time as it resigns or is removed as Portfolio Asset Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Portfolio Asset Servicer and the Borrower hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties are third party beneficiaries of the obligations undertaken by the Portfolio Asset Servicer hereunder.

78

(c)Servicer Termination Notice. The Borrower, each Applicable Servicer and the Administrative Agent hereby agree that, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Administrative Agent, by written notice to an Applicable Servicer (a “Servicer Termination Notice”), shall, upon the written direction of the Majority Lenders, terminate all of the rights, obligations, power and authority of such Applicable Servicer under this Agreement. On and after the receipt by such Applicable Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice pursuant to this Section 8.01(b), such Applicable Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (upon the written direction of the Majority Lenders) in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent (upon written direction of the Majority Lenders), until a date mutually agreed upon by such Applicable Servicer and the Administrative Agent (upon written direction of the Majority Lenders). If such Applicable Servicer is the Facility Servicer, such Applicable Servicer shall be entitled to receive, to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.08, the fees accrued until such termination date as well as any other fees, amounts, expenses or indemnities it is entitled to pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the Facility Servicing Fee Letter (collectively, the “Servicer Termination Expenses”). To the extent amounts held in the Collection Account and paid in accordance with Section 2.08 are insufficient to pay the Servicer Termination Expenses, the Borrower (and to the extent the Borrower fails to so pay, the Lenders based on their Pro Rata Share) agree to pay the Servicer Termination Expenses within ten Business Days of receipt of an invoice therefor. On the termination date specified in this Section 8.01(b), such Applicable Servicer agrees that it will terminate its activities as Facility Servicer or Portfolio Asset Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, the Borrower, believes will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to a Replacement Servicer, and the Replacement Servicer shall assume each and all of such Applicable Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, and such Applicable Servicer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Replacement Servicer in assuming such obligations.

(d)Appointment of Replacement Servicer. At any time following the delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice with respect to the Facility Servicer or receipt of any notice of resignation of the Facility Servicer under Section 8.09, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) shall, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such consent not being required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint a new Facility Servicer (the “Replacement Facility Servicer”), which appointment shall take effect upon the Replacement Facility Servicer accepting such appointment by a written assumption in a form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, following the delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice with respect to the Portfolio Asset Servicer or receipt of any notice of resignation of the Portfolio Asset Servicer under Section 8.09, the Borrower shall, with the consent of Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a new Portfolio Asset Servicer (the “Replacement Portfolio Asset Servicer;” the Replacement Portfolio Asset Servicer and the Replacement Facility Servicer are each a “Replacement Servicer”), which appointment shall take effect upon the Replacement Portfolio Asset Servicer accepting such appointment by a written assumption in a form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) and, the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the

79

Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) may exercise the foregoing appointment rights with respect to the Replacement Portfolio Asset Servicer on behalf of the Borrower. Any Replacement Servicer shall be an established financial institution, having a net worth of not less than

$50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of assets similar to the Collateral Portfolio; provided that in no event shall any such Replacement Servicer be a Competitor.

(e)Liabilities and Obligations of Replacement Servicer. Upon its appointment, any Replacement Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to such Applicable Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on such Applicable Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to such Applicable Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Replacement Servicer; provided that any Replacement Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to any action performed by the prior Applicable Servicer prior to the date that the Replacement Servicer becomes the successor to such Applicable Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the prior Applicable Servicer, (ii) no obligation with respect to any Taxes on behalf of the Borrower, except for any payment made out of the Collection Account as provided in Section 2.13, (iii) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated hereby and

(iv) no liability or obligation with respect to any prior Applicable Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Applicable Servicer. The indemnification obligations of the Replacement Servicer upon becoming an Applicable Servicer, are expressly limited to those arising on account of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, or the failure to perform materially in accordance with its duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement.

(f)Authority and Power. All authority and power granted to an Applicable Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate on the Facility Termination Date and shall pass to and be vested in the Borrower thereafter. Each Applicable Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Borrower in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of each Applicable Servicer to conduct servicing of this Agreement (including the right to direct remittances out of the Collection Accounts).

(g)Subcontracts. The Facility Servicer may subcontract with any other Person for servicing and administering in respect of the payments to the Borrower or the Portfolio Asset Servicer under the Collateral Portfolio that are to be Collections under this Agreement; provided that (A) the Facility Servicer shall select any such Person with reasonable care and shall be solely responsible for the fees and expenses payable to any such Person, (B) the Facility Servicer shall not be relieved of, and shall remain liable for, the performance of the duties and obligations of the Facility Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof without regard to any subcontracting arrangement and (C) any such subcontract shall be terminable upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event. The Facility Servicer shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent or attorney in fact that it selects with reasonable care.

In no event shall the Portfolio Asset Servicer be entitled to make the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Lender a party to any litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make the Borrower a party to any litigation (other than any routine foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s (at the direction of the Majority Lenders) consent.

(b)After the Final Maturity Date for the applicable Term Loan Series to which such Loan Assets Relate, at the direction of the Administrative Agent (acting at the written direction of the Majority Lenders), the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall cause the Underlying Servicers to take such action as the

84

Majority Lenders may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Loan Assets; provided that the Administrative Agent may (at the written direction of the Majority Lenders), at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notify the Obligor, agent, administrative agent, Counterparty Lender or Underlying Servicer, as applicable, with respect to any Loan Asset of the assignment of such Loan Asset to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due thereunder be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or account designated by the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (acting at the written direction of the Majority Lenders) may enforce collection of any such Loan Asset, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

The Portfolio Asset Servicer may not waive, modify or otherwise vary any provision of a Loan Asset in any manner contrary to the Servicing Standard. If the Portfolio Asset Servicer does not receive from the related Underlying Servicer, Counterparty Lender or Obligor the payments to be paid to the Borrower or the Portfolio Asset Servicer as Collections on the date when such payments are scheduled to be made (to the extent the Portfolio Asset Servicer has received such payment information from the Underlying Servicer), the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall promptly notify the Borrower and such Underlying Servicer, Counterparty Lender or Obligor.

(b)Collection Account. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (i) the Collection Account is intended to be a “deposit account” within the meaning of the UCC of the State of New York and (ii) only the Administrative Agent and the Account Bank shall be entitled to exercise the rights with respect to the Collection Account and only the Administrative Agent has the right to direct the disposition of funds in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 2.08. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees to cause the Account Bank to agree with the parties hereto that regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC of the State of New York, with respect to the Collection Account, New York shall be deemed to be the Account Bank’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of such UCC). The Borrower shall provide the Facility Servicer with online “read-only” access to the Collection Account and ensure that such access remains in effect until the Facility Termination Date.

(c)Loan and Participation Agreements. Notwithstanding any term hereof to the contrary, none of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Custodian shall be under any duty or obligation in connection with the acquisition by the Borrower of, or the grant of a security interest by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in, any Loan Asset to examine or evaluate the sufficiency of the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower under the related Loan Agreements or Participation Agreements, or otherwise to examine the Loan Agreements and Participation Agreements, in order to determine or compel compliance with any applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including any necessary consents).

(d)Adjustments.

85

with respect to the amount of any Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such Collection, the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake. Any payment required to be made by an Obligor on a Loan Asset or Underlying Loan Obligation, as applicable, in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.

SECTION 8.06 Realization Upon Loan Assets.

(a)Consistent with the applicable Loan Agreement or Participation Agreement, the Portfolio Asset Servicer will monitor efforts of each Counterparty Lender or Underlying Servicer with respect to any Loan Asset as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and any analysis by such Counterparty Lender or Underlying Servicer proposing a course of action to maximize value with respect to any related Underlying Collateral, including whether to hold for value, sell or transfer any equity or other securities it has received in connection with a default, workout, restructuring or plan of reorganization with respect to the related Underlying Loan Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Portfolio Asset Servicer will comply with the applicable Loan Agreement and Participation Agreement and Applicable Law in directing a Counterparty Lender or Underlying Servicer to realize upon Underlying Collateral, and employ practices and procedures, to direct the related Counterparty Lender or Underlying Servicer to enforce the obligations of Obligors by foreclosing upon, repossessing and causing the sale of such Underlying Collateral at public or private sale.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Facility Servicer shall not take any action with respect to the Collateral Portfolio, nor shall it be required to take any actions, relating to any special servicing activities (it being understood and agreed that the Facility Servicer shall determine whether any obligations or actions of the Facility Servicer expressly set forth in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall constitute special servicing activities), except to the extent (i) agreed to between the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Facility Servicer, pursuant to a separate fee letter agreement and (ii) the parties to such fee agreement agree to address any conflicts presented by such performance of special servicing activities reasonably requested by the Facility Servicer.

SECTION 8.07 Payment of Certain Expenses. The Borrower (or the Facility Servicer on its behalf to the extent amounts are available in the Collection Account), shall be required to pay all fees and expenses owing to any financial institution in connection with the maintenance of the Collection Account. The Facility Servicer shall be reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder (including reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid by the Facility Servicer on behalf of the Borrower), subject to the availability of funds pursuant to Section 2.08; provided that, to the extent funds are not available for such reimbursement, the Facility Servicer shall be entitled to repayment of such expenses from the Borrower and if the Borrower fails to so reimburse the Facility Servicer, the Facility Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Lenders (and each Lender hereby agrees to so reimburse the Facility Servicer as provided herein) within ten Business Days of receipt of an invoice therefor.

SECTION 8.08 Reports.

(a)Servicing Report. On each Reporting Date, the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall provide (or cause the Underlying Servicers to provide) to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer a monthly report (a “Servicing Report”) containing the information set forth on (and substantially

86

in the form of) Exhibit H, including (i) a certification from the Portfolio Asset Servicer that a copy of each amendment, restatement, supplement, waiver or other modification to the Loan Agreement of any Loan Asset has been provided in accordance with Section 8.08(c), (ii) the Outstanding Principal Balance of all Loan Assets as of such Reporting Date, (iii) the identification of Principal Collections, Interest Collections or Excluded Amounts as of such Reporting Date (after giving effect to transfers made by the Underlying Servicers to such Collection Account on such date, if any), and (iv) the amounts to be transferred from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.08(a)(i).

(b)Obligor Financial Statements; Valuation Reports; Other Reports. The Portfolio Asset Servicer shall, with respect to each Obligor for each Loan Asset that was an Eligible Loan Asset at any time during the applicable fiscal quarter, make available or cause the Underlying Servicers to make available to the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer (which may be done through an online file sharing platform that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Initial Lender or deliver via email to the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer) (i) within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of such Obligor (as the same may be extended if a later date is specified in the applicable Loan Agreement), financial reporting packages (including applicable financial statements) delivered by such Obligor pursuant to the applicable Loan Agreement to the extent such financial reporting packages have been received by the Portfolio Asset Servicer or Underlying Servicer during such quarter and (ii) within 30 days of receipt thereof, each servicing report and such other reports in respect of the Loan Agreements prepared by an Underlying Servicer with respect to an Eligible Loan Asset to the extent such reports have been received by the Portfolio Asset Servicer (in each case, all to the extent received by the Portfolio Asset Servicer).

(c)Amendments to Loan Assets. The Portfolio Asset Servicer will deliver or cause the Underlying Servicers to deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer and the Collateral Custodian a copy of any amendment, restatement, supplement, waiver or other modification to the Loan Agreement of any Loan Asset (along with any internal documents that are not privileged prepared by its investment committee (or prepared by the Counterparty Lender and provided to the Counterparty Lender’s investment committee) in connection with such amendment, restatement, supplement, waiver or other modification) (i) with respect to any Material Modification, promptly after receipt thereof and

(ii) with respect to any amendment, restatement, supplement, waiver or other modification which is not a Material Modification, within 30 days after the end of each quarter (in each case, to the extent received by the Portfolio Asset Servicer or the applicable Underlying Servicer). The Portfolio Asset Servicer shall also deliver or cause the Underlying Servicers to deliver to the Administrative Agent any notice or other correspondence that it receives hereunder or with respect to any Eligible Loan Asset, in each case, to the extent it deems such notice or other correspondence material, promptly upon receipt thereof. The provisions of this Section 8.08(c) are in addition to the delivery requirements under the Custodial Agreement.

(d)Delivery Methods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, information required to be delivered or submitted to any Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date upon which such information is received through e-mail or an online file sharing platform acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer.

SECTION 8.09    Applicable Servicer Not to Resign. An Applicable Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (a) upon such Applicable Servicer’s determination that

(i)the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law and (ii)

87

there is no reasonable action that such Applicable Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law or (b) upon at least 60 days’ prior notice to the other parties hereto. If no Replacement Servicer shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a Replacement Servicer shall not have been delivered to such Applicable Servicer within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Applicable Servicer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a Replacement Servicer. No such resignation shall become effective until a Replacement Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of such Applicable Servicer in accordance with Section 8.01. Any Fees then due and owing to such Applicable Servicer and accrued through such date, including any expenses or indemnities it is entitled to pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and any Fee Letter, shall be due and payable on such discharge date and shall be paid from amounts in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 2.08 and if such amounts are insufficient to pay such amounts then due and owing, shall be paid by the Borrower (or the Lenders if the Borrower fails to so pay such amounts) within ten Business Days of receipt of an invoice therefor.

SECTION 8.10 Indemnification of the Facility Servicer. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Facility Servicer from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Facility Servicer in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Facility Servicer hereunder or thereunder; provided that (a) the Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Facility Servicer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction and (b) no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Lenders, Lenders or the Borrower shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Article VIII. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Facility Servicer, promptly upon demand, for any Fees due to it hereunder, out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by the Facility Servicer in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Facility Servicer or Lenders hereunder or thereunder and to the extent that the Facility Servicer is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower under Section 2.08.

ARTICLE IX. INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 9.01    Indemnities by the Borrower.

(a)Without limiting any other rights which the Secured Parties or any of their respective Affiliates may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Borrower shall indemnify the Secured Parties and each of their respective Affiliates, assigns, officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party” for purposes of this Article IX) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”), incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of (i) this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in respect of the transactions contemplated thereby or with respect to any of

88

the Collateral, (ii) any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, (iii) any Advance or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom,

(iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or (v) any action, claim or suit brought by an Indemnified Party to enforce its right to indemnification, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of an Indemnified Party as determined in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 9.01(a) does not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b)Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.01 shall be paid by the Borrower to the applicable Indemnified Party within 30 days following receipt by the Borrower of such Indemnified Party’s written demand therefor.

(c)If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.01 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (in each case, other than as a result of the express limitations set forth therein), then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(d)If the Borrower has made any payments in respect of Indemnified Amounts to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.01 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Borrower in an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, without interest.

(e)The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 9.01 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer, the Portfolio Asset Servicer or the Collateral Custodian or the termination or assignment of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.02 Legal Proceedings. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action, claim, or legal, governmental or administrative proceeding (an “Action”) for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other party or parties against whom it seeks indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the nature and particulars of the Action; provided that its failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure has a material adverse effect on the Indemnifying Party. Upon written notice to the Indemnified Party acknowledging in writing that the indemnification provided hereunder applies to the Indemnified Party in connection with the Action, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of the Action at its expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel in connection with the Action, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party after the Indemnifying Party has done so; provided that if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Action,

89

or that the Indemnifying Party is not conducting the defense of the Action in a manner reasonably protective of the interests of the Indemnified Party, the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Action, it shall have full control over the conduct of such defense; provided that the Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall, as reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party or its counsel, consult with and keep them informed with respect to the conduct of such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle an Action without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement provides for the full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in connection with the Action. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Action. Each applicable Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time after such Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by such Indemnified Party relating to the claim giving rise to the Indemnified Amounts.

Each Lender may sell a participation in its interests hereunder as

Each scanned or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any scanned or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the UCC of the State of New York or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings.

SECTION 10.10 Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process.

(a)Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in New York City in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

95

(b)Each party hereto agrees that service of process may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party at its address specified in Section 10.02 or at such other address as the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in accordance herewith. Nothing in this Section 10.10 shall affect the right of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 10.11 Confidentiality.

(a)Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Facility Servicer and the Portfolio Asset Servicer shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), including all Information regarding the business of the Borrower and the Portfolio Asset Servicer and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates, accountants, investigators, auditors, attorneys or other agents, including any rating agency or valuation firm engaged by such party in connection with any due diligence or comparable activities with respect to the transactions and Loan Assets contemplated herein, and the agents of such Persons, taxing authorities and governmental agencies (provided that each such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) as is required by Applicable Law, (iii) in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (iv) when required by any law, regulation, ordinance, court order or subpoena, (v) to the extent the Portfolio Asset Servicer is disseminating general statistical information relating to the commercial mortgage loans being serviced by the Portfolio Asset Servicer (including the Loan Assets) hereunder so long as the Portfolio Asset Servicer does not identify the Borrower, any Lender or the Obligors or (vi) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder.

(b)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower hereby consents to the disclosure of any Information with respect to it (i) to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Facility Servicer or the Portfolio Asset Servicer by each other, (ii) by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Facility Servicer and the Portfolio Asset Servicer to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of them provided such Person agrees to hold such Information confidential or (iii) by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Facility Servicer and the Portfolio Asset Servicer to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to any Lender or any Person providing financing to, or holding equity interests in, any Lender, as applicable, and to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided each such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such Information. In addition, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer and the Portfolio Asset Servicer may disclose any such Information as required pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law).

(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all Information that is or becomes publicly known, (ii) disclosure of any and all Information (A) if required to do so by any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation, (B) to any government agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee any aspects of the Lenders’, the Administrative Agent’s, the Facility Servicer’s or the Portfolio Asset Servicer’s business or that of their Affiliates, (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar demand or

96

request of any court, regulatory authority, arbitrator or arbitration to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Facility Servicer or the Portfolio Asset Servicer or an officer, director, employer, shareholder or affiliate of any of the foregoing is a party or (D) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or contract or other document approved in advance by the Borrower, (iii) any other disclosure authorized by the Borrower or (iv) disclosure of any and all Information that becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Facility Servicer or the Portfolio Asset Servicer on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower who did not acquire such information as a result of a breach of this Section 10.11.

(d)The parties hereto may disclose the existence of the Agreement, but not the financial terms hereof, including all fees and other pricing terms, all Events of Default, Servicer Termination Events, and priority of payment provisions, in each case except in compliance with this Section 10.11.

(e)“Information” means all information received from or on behalf of the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its businesses or the Loan Assets, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Facility Servicer, the Portfolio Asset Servicer or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 10.12 Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment. All parties hereto agree that each of them and each of their employees, representatives, and other agents may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. “Tax treatment” and “tax structure” shall have the same meaning as such terms have for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, the provisions of this Section 10.12 shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 10.13 Waiver of Set Off. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. Each party shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (if applicable) promptly after any such setoff and

97

application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 10.14 Headings, Schedules and Exhibits. The headings herein are for purposes of references only and shall not otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof. The schedules and exhibits attached hereto and referred to herein shall constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement for all purposes.

SECTION 10.15 Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of Advances owing to it under any Term Loan Series (other than pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.13) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders of such Term Loan Series, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances owing to them under such Term Loan Series as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided that, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.

SECTION 10.16 Failure of Borrower to Perform Certain Obligations. If the Borrower fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under Section 5.01(m), the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to, and in any case acting at the direction of the Initial Lender) itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefore.

SECTION 10.17 Power of Attorney.

(a)Each Loan Party irrevocably authorizes the Facility Servicer and the Administrative Agent and appoints the Facility Servicer and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, as its attorney-in-fact to act on its behalf to file financing statements reasonably necessary or desirable (as determined and directed by the Initial Lender) to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the termination of this Agreement.

(b)With effect after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Attorney”) (and all officers, employees or agents designated by Attorney), solely in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in such Loan Party’s place and stead and at such Loan Party’s expense and in such Loan Party’s name or in Attorney’s own name, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction

99

pursuant hereto; and (o) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document to the extent related to the Pledged Equity, all as though Attorney were the absolute owner of the Pledged Equity for all purposes, and, to the extent set forth in the Loan and Servicing Agreement, to do, at Attorney’s option (acting at the written direction of the Majority Lenders) and Borrower’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and other things reasonably necessary to perfect, preserve or realize upon the Pledged Equity and the Liens of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, thereon, all as fully and effectively as Holdings might do. The Borrower hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. No person to whom this power of attorney is presented, as authority for Attorney to take any action or actions contemplated hereby, shall inquire into or seek confirmation from such Loan Party as to the authority of Attorney to take any action described below, or as to the existence of or fulfillment of any condition to this power of attorney, which is intended to grant to Attorney unconditionally the authority to take and perform the actions contemplated herein, and such Loan Party irrevocably waives any claim against any person or entity that acts in reliance in good faith upon the authority granted under this power of attorney with respect to such reliance. The power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and may not be revoked or canceled by such Loan Party until the Facility Termination Date.

SECTION 10.18 Delivery of Termination Statements, Releases, etc. Upon the occurrence of the Facility Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall, upon written direction, execute and deliver to the Portfolio Asset Servicer and the Borrower termination statements, reconveyances, releases and other documents and instruments of release as are necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Liens securing the Obligations, all at the expense of the Borrower.
