has notified the Borrower or any Credit Party in writing, or has made a public
statement to the effect, that it does not intend or expect to comply with any of its

offering to the Lenders or to other prospective Eligible Lenders acceptable to the

(e) Section 2.3 (Fees) of the New Credit Agreement is amended to read in its

(other than a Defaulting Lender) in the aggregate during each calendar quarter. Such
Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March,
June, September and December and on the Termination Date, commencing on the first of such

5
(f) Section 2.9(b) (Pro Rata Treatment and Payments) of the New Credit Agreement is
hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as Sections 2.9(b), (c) and (d) as follows:
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any
Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would
constitute its Commitment Percentage of such borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making
such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. Subject to the provisions concerning Defaulting Lenders in this Agreement
and to clause 2.9(c) below, with respect to a Lender which is not a Defaulting
Lender, if such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the
required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal
to the greater of the applicable daily Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by
the Administrative Agent in accordance with applicable banking industry rules on
interbank compensation for the period commencing with such Borrowing Date until such
Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A
certificate of the Administrative Agent (it being understood the Borrower shall not
be obligated to repay any such interest paid by the non-funding Lender) submitted to
any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive
in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so
long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(i) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of
such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.3;
(ii) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in
determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder
(including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to
Section 9.1); provided, that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the vote of a
Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification
requiring the consent of such Defaulting Lender or each Lender affected thereby as
stated in Section 9.1;
(iii) In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower each agree that a
6
Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be
a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such remedied Lender shall purchase at par
such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine
may be necessary in order for such remedied Lender to hold such Loans in accordance
with its portion of the Aggregate Commitments.
(d) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it
under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent, including without limitation
pursuant to Section 2.9(b) or 8.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts
thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for
the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it
under the applicable Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid,
and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for,
and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such
applicable Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order
as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.
(g) Section 2.12 (Change of Lending Office; Replacement of Lender) of the New Credit
Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or if the Borrower
is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority
for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, then such Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking
its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of
its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 2.10 or 2.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject
such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment.
(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or if the Borrower
is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority
for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, or if any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon
notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign
and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 9.6), all its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be
another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the
Borrower shall have received the prior written
7
consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all
other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of
all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a
claim for compensation under Section 2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant
to Section 2.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation
if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease
to apply.
(h) Section 4.2(c) and (e) (Conditions to Each Loan) of the New Credit Agreement are
each hereby amended and restated to read in their entirety as follows:
(c) Maximum Borrowing Limitation. Immediately prior to and immediately
after giving effect to the proposed Loans to be made, the Borrower’s Asset Coverage
Ratio shall not be less than 325% and the Borrower shall provide the Administrative
Agent with a pro forma calculation of the Asset Coverage Ratio taking into effect
the proposed Loans (using Net Asset values as calculated within 10 Days of the
Borrowing Date); and in each case the Borrower shall not have violated any
Requirements of Law or exceeded the borrowing limits set forth in its Prospectus or
registration statement.
(e) Net Assets. The Net Assets of the Borrower most recently
calculated prior to the Borrowing Date (but in any event within 10 Days of the
Borrowing Date) shall be greater than or equal to the Minimum Net Assets, and the
Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with a statement of said Net Assets
and Minimum Net Assets (calculated within 10 Days of the Borrowing Date).
(i) The following shall be added as Section 5.9 (Payments following Default or Event
of Default) to the New Credit Agreement:
5.9 Payments Following Default or Event of Default. During the
continuation of any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower shall make payments
with respect to the Loans and other amounts outstanding under this Agreement not
less than pro rata with payments of all principal amounts of any unsecured
borrowings of the Borrower, calculated in accordance with principal amounts
outstanding.
(j) Sections 6.2 and 6.3 (Limitation on Indebtedness; Limitation on Liens) of the New
Credit Agreement shall be amended to read in their entirety as follows:
8
6.2 Limitation on Indebtedness. Create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except
Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Subsidiary incurred (a) under the Loan
Documents, (b) in the form of reverse repurchase transactions, Swap Obligations,
Interest Rate Agreements, derivatives, or other transactions entered into primarily
for investment purposes which have the effect of borrowing, provided that
the notional value of all Swap Obligations shall not exceed $50 million at any time,
(c) pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, (d) any additional unsecured
Indebtedness that the Borrower may issue from time to time provided that the
Asset Coverage Ratio is greater than 350% at the time of issue taking into account
such issuance, and no Default or Event of Default is then existing or would be
caused thereby and Borrower has certified the same to Lenders and Agent, and
provided further that the net proceeds (after payment of premium,
fees and expenses) of such issuances not used to refinance then existing unsecured
indebtedness shall be used to repay the Loans and other amounts due under this
Agreement until paid in full, provided such 350% condition precedent and
use of proceeds requirement may be waived with Required Lenders’ consent, or (e)
secured Indebtedness the aggregate principal amount of which is not outstanding for
more than 60 days and which does not exceed five percent (5%) of the Borrower’s
Total Assets at the time of incurrence of such Indebtedness (“Permitted Secured
Indebtedness”); and, in each case, which is not otherwise prohibited by law, is in
the ordinary course of business, and is not in contravention of the Borrower’s
Prospectus and in the case of 6.2(a), (c), (d) and (e) is reflected properly as
Senior Securities representing Indebtedness of the Borrower in the calculation of
the Asset Coverage Ratio.
6.3 Limitation on Liens. Create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
Lien upon any of the property, assets or revenues of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except for (i) Liens securing
Permitted Secured Indebtedness, which Liens are upon specific identified assets of
the Borrower which are placed in a segregated account and are generally
representative of the assets of the Borrower taken as a whole in credit quality,
and, (ii) Liens for taxes not yet due or which are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings, provided that adequate reserves with respect
thereto are maintained on the books of the Borrower or such Subsidiary in conformity
with GAAP, (iii) Liens arising in connection with claims for advances made by or
payments due to the custodian under the Borrower’s Custody Agreement, (iv) Liens
created, incurred, assumed or suffered to exist in compliance with the Prospectus

of its Subsidiaries to enter into, with any Person any agreement which prohibits or
limits the ability of the Borrower or such Subsidiary to create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its property, assets or revenues, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, other than (i) the Loan Documents, (ii) the Note
Purchase Agreements, (iii) the provisions of certain series of mandatory redeemable
preferred shares issued by the Borrower, (iv) the Institutional Account Agreement

Subsidiary’s business and which is not otherwise prohibited by any Requirements of
Law.

hereof, there shall be no period of remedy; or
(m) The following sentence shall be added as the final sentence of Section 9.1
(Amendments and Waivers) to the New Credit Agreement:

shall not be included except that (i) such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment may not be
increased or extended without its consent and (ii) the principal amount of, or
interest or fees payable on, Loans may not be reduced or excused or the scheduled
date of payment may not be postponed as to such Defaulting Lender without such
