Section 1.04. Collateral Value Calculation Procedures. In connection with all calculations required to be made pursuant to this Agreement with respect to Scheduled Distributions on any Loan, or any payments on any other assets included in the Collateral, with respect to the sale of and reinvestment in Loans, and with respect to the income that can be earned on Scheduled Distributions on such Loans and on any other amounts that may be received for deposit in the Collection Account, the provisions set forth in this Section 1.04 shall be applied. The provisions of this Section 1.04 shall be applicable to any determination or calculation that is covered by this Section 1.04, whether or not reference is specifically made to Section 1.04, unless some other method of calculation or determination is expressly specified in the particular provision.

(a) All calculations with respect to Scheduled Distributions on the Collateral Loans shall be made on the basis of information as to the terms of each such Collateral Loan and upon reports of payments, if any, received on such Collateral Loans that are furnished by or on behalf of the Obligor of such Collateral Loans and, to the extent they are not manifestly in error, such information or reports may be conclusively relied upon in making such calculations.

(b) For purposes of calculating the Coverage Tests, except as otherwise specified in the Coverage Tests, such calculations will not include (i) scheduled interest and principal payments on Defaulted Loans and Ineligible Loans unless or until such payments are actually made and (ii) ticking fees in respect of Collateral Loans, and other similar fees, unless or until such fees are actually paid.

(c) For each Collection Period and as of any date of determination, the Scheduled Distribution on any Collateral Loans (other than Defaulted Loans and Ineligible Loans, which, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be assumed to have Scheduled Distributions of zero) shall be the total amount of payments and collections to be received during such Collection Period in respect of such Collateral Loans.

(d) Each Scheduled Distribution receivable with respect to a Collateral Loan shall be assumed to be received on the applicable Due Date.

(e) References in the Priority of Payments to calculations made on a “pro forma basis” shall mean such calculations after giving effect to all payments, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, that precede (in priority of payment) or include the clause in which such calculation is made.

(f) For purposes of calculating all Concentration Limitations, in both the numerator and the denominator of any component of the Concentration Limitations, Defaulted Loans and Ineligible Loans (including any unfunded commitments with respect to such Collateral Loans) will be treated as having a value equal to zero.

(g) Determinations of the Eligible Loans, or portions thereof, that constitute Excess Concentration Amounts will be determined in the way that produces the highest Borrowing Base at the time of determination, it being understood that a Collateral Loan (or portion thereof) that falls into more than one such category of Collateral Loans will be deemed, solely for purposes of such determinations, to fall only into the category that produces the highest such Borrowing Base at such time (without duplication).

-50-

(h) [Reserved].

(i) Any Collateral Loan Obligation purchased for 98% of par or more will be deemed to be purchased at par; provided that any arranger, closing or similar fees earned at the primary closing of a Collateral Loan Obligation will not be considered discounts to par.

(j) References in this Agreement to the Borrower’s “purchase” or “acquisition” of a Loan include references to the Borrower’s acquisition of such Collateral Loan by way of a sale and/or contribution from the BDC and the Borrower’s making or origination of such Loan. Portions of the same Loan acquired by the Borrower on different dates (whether through purchase, receipt by contribution or the making or origination thereof) will, for purposes of determining the purchase price of such Loan, be treated as separate purchases on separate dates (and not a weighted average purchase price for any particular Loan).

(k) For the purposes of calculating compliance with each of the Concentration Limitations all calculations will be rounded to the nearest 0.01%.

(l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all monetary calculations under this Agreement shall be in Dollars. For purposes of this Agreement, calculations with respect to all amounts received or required to be paid in a currency other than Dollars shall be valued at zero.

(m) Other than for purposes of determining whether the conditions for each Advance have been satisfied, for purposes of calculating compliance with any test under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Maximum Advance Rate Test, Interest Coverage Ratio Test and any Concentration Limitation), the trade date (and not the settlement date) with respect to any acquisition or disposition of a Loan shall be used to determine whether and when such acquisition or disposition has occurred so long as such acquisition or disposition settles within 30 days of the trade date. If such acquisition or disposition does not settle within 30 days of the trade date, all such tests shall be recalculated based on the date such acquisition or disposition of a Loan actually settles. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating compliance with any test under this Agreement to determine whether the conditions for each Advance have been satisfied, the settlement date (and not the trade date) with respect to any acquisition or disposition of a Loan shall be used to determine whether and when such acquisition or disposition has occurred.

Section 1.05. Calculation of Borrowing Base. In connection with amounts to be calculated for purposes of determining the Borrowing Base and generally preparing the Borrowing Base Calculation Statement, all amounts shall be expressed in Dollars.

Article II

Advances

Section 2.01. Revolving Credit Facility. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, including Article III, each Lender severally agrees to make loans in Dollars to the Borrower (each, an “Advance”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Funding Effective Date until the Commitment Termination Date, on a pro rata basis in each case in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to but not exceeding such Lender’s Commitment and, as to all Lenders, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not exceeding the Maximum Available Amount (which shall be determined using the Advance Rate applicable to the Maximum Advance Rate Test) as then in effect. Each such borrowing of an Advance on any single day is referred to herein as a “Borrowing”. Within such limits and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow (and re-borrow) Advances under this Section 2.01 and prepay Advances under Section 2.05.

Section 2.02. Making of the Advances. (a) If the Borrower desires to make a Borrowing under this Agreement, the Borrower, or the Collateral Manager on its behalf, shall give the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent a written notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) for such Borrowing (which notice shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt) not later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day prior to the day of the requested Borrowing; provided, however that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no more than two Advances may be made in a calendar week. A Notice of Borrowing received after 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the following Business Day.

Promptly following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of the amounts of such Lender’s Advance to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, dated the date the request for the related Borrowing is being made, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, shall attach a Borrowing Base Calculation Statement as of the Borrowing Date after giving effect to the requested Borrowing and shall otherwise be appropriately completed. The proposed Borrowing Date specified in each Notice of Borrowing shall be a Business Day falling on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date, and the amount of the Borrowing requested in such Notice of Borrowing (the “Requested Amount”) shall be equal to at least $250,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Each Lender shall, not later than 1:00 p.m. on each Borrowing Date, make its Percentage of the applicable Requested Amount on each Borrowing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collateral Agent Account.

Section 2.03. Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Maintenance of Records by Lender. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to it and resulting from the Advances made by such Lender to the Borrower, from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest thereon and paid to it, from time to time hereunder, provided that the failure of any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

-52-

(b) Maintenance of Records by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence, absent obvious error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.04. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Borrower shall pay principal and Interest on the Advances as follows:

(a) 100% of the outstanding principal amount of each Advance, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, shall be payable on the Final Maturity Date.

(b) Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance at the applicable Interest Rate from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in full. The Administrative Agent shall determine the unpaid Interest and Commitment Fees payable thereto prior to each Payment Date (using the applicable Interest Rate for each day during the related Interest Accrual Period) to be paid by the Borrower with respect to each Advance on each Payment Date for the related Interest Accrual Period and shall advise the Collateral Manager and the Collateral Administrator thereof on the sixth Business Day prior to such Payment Date. The Administrative Agent shall send a consolidated invoice of all such Interest and Commitment Fees to the Borrower on the Business Day following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of all such information from the Lenders.

(c) Accrued Interest on each Advance shall be payable in arrears (x) on each Payment Date, and (y) in connection with any prepayment in full of the Advances pursuant to Section 2.05(a); provided that (i) with respect to any prepayment in full of the Advances outstanding, accrued Interest on such amount to but excluding the date of prepayment may be payable on such date or as otherwise agreed to between the Lenders and the Borrower and (ii) with respect to any partial prepayment of the Advances outstanding, accrued Interest on such amount to but excluding the date of prepayment shall be payable following such prepayment on the applicable Payment Date for the Collection Period in which such prepayment occurred.

-53-

(d) Subject in all cases to Section 2.04(f), the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Obligations, including the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Advances and accrued interest thereon, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof (including Section 2.14), under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against any Secured Party or any other Person.

(e) As a condition to the payment of principal of and Interest on any Advance without the imposition of withholding tax, the Borrower or either Agent may require certification acceptable to it to enable the Borrower and the Agents to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such Advance under any present or future law or regulation of the United States and any other applicable jurisdiction, or any present or future law or regulation of any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement are limited recourse obligations of the Borrower payable solely from the Collateral and, following realization of the Collateral, and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the Priority of Payments and, subject to Section 2.12, all obligations of and any claims against the Borrower hereunder or in connection herewith after such realization shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had against any officer, director, employee, shareholder, Affiliate, member, manager, agent, partner, principal or incorporator of the Borrower or their respective successors or assigns for any amounts payable under this Agreement. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this clause (f) shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by this Agreement until such Collateral has been realized. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this clause (f) shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Borrower as a party defendant in any proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under this Agreement, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against the Borrower.

-54-

Section 2.05. Prepayment of Advances. (a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day but no more than once during any calendar week, voluntarily prepay Advances in whole or in part, without penalty or premium; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent written notice of such prepayment (such notice, a “Notice of Prepayment”) in the form of Exhibit B not later than 3:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the day of such prepayment (provided that same day notice may be given to cure any non-compliance with the Maximum Advance Rate Test). Each such Notice of Prepayment shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt and shall be dated the date such notice is being given, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and otherwise appropriately completed. Further, each such Notice of Prepayment shall specify the Borrowing(s) and the related Tranche Period(s) for which such prepayment shall be applied to; provided that, if no Borrowing or Borrowings are so specified in such Notice of Prepayment, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected to apply such prepayment first, to the Borrowing or Borrowings with Tranche Periods of one month duration, if any, until repaid in full, then, to the Borrowing or Borrowings with Tranche Periods of three months duration, if any. If no Tranche Period is specified in a Notice of Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Tranche Period of three months duration. Each prepayment of any Advance by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) (other than a prepayment made in order to cure any non-compliance with the Maximum Advance Rate Test) shall in each case be in a principal amount of at least $500,000 or, if less, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Advances of the Borrower. If a Notice of Prepayment is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. The Borrower shall make the payment amount specified in such notice by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m. to the Agent’s Account. The Administrative Agent promptly will make such payment amount specified in such notice available to each Lender in the amount of each Lender’s Percentage of the payment amount by wire transfer to such Lender’s account. Any funds for purposes of a voluntary prepayment received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. The Borrower shall prepay the Advances on each Payment Date in the manner and to the extent provided in the Priority of Payments. The Borrower shall provide, in each Monthly Report, notice of the aggregate amounts of Advances that are to be prepaid on the related Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(c) Additional Prepayment Provisions. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be subject to Sections 2.04(c) and 2.10 and applied to the Advances in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Percentages.

(d) Interest on Prepaid Advances. If requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid Interest on Advances prepaid on the date of such prepayment.

Section 2.06. Changes of Commitments. (a) Automatic Reduction and Termination. The Commitments of all Lenders shall be automatically reduced to zero at 5:00 p.m. on the Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Optional Reductions. Prior to the Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the unused amount of the Facility Amount at any time or from time to time without any fee or penalty (other than any applicable Commitment Reduction Fee) upon not less than two Business Days’ prior notice to the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date of such termination or reduction and the amount of any such reduction; provided that (i) the amount of any such reduction of the Facility Amount shall be equal to at least $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the remaining unused portion thereof, and (ii) no such reduction will reduce the Facility Amount below the aggregate principal amount of Advances outstanding at such time. Such notice of termination or reduction shall be irrevocable and effective only upon receipt and shall be applied pro rata to reduce the respective Commitments of each Lender.

-55-

(c) Effect of Termination or Reduction. The Commitments of the Lenders once terminated or reduced may not be reinstated. Each reduction of the Facility Amount pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be applied ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(d) Payment of Commitment Reduction Fee. If applicable, the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders, for their own use and benefit, the Commitment Reduction Fee in connection with any optional reduction of the Facility Amount, subject to and in accordance with the Lender Fee Letter.

Section 2.07. Maximum Lawful Rate. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the interest on the Advances shall not exceed the maximum rate permissible under Applicable Law. Accordingly, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event any interest is charged to, collected from or received from or on behalf of the Borrower by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto in excess of such maximum lawful rate, then the excess of such payment over that maximum shall be applied first to the payment of amounts then due and owing by the Borrower to the Secured Parties under this Agreement (other than in respect of principal of and interest on the Advances) and then to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances of the Borrower.

Section 2.08. Several Obligations. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Advance on such date, neither Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Lender to make any Advance, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make an Advance to be made by such other Lender.

Section 2.09. Increased Costs. (a) Except with respect to taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 16.03, if, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation, application or implementation of any Applicable Law or GAAP or other applicable accounting policy after the date hereof, or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or change in the interpretation, application or implementation of any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) after the date hereof (a “Regulatory Change”), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected Person of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Advances to the Borrower, then the Borrower shall from time to time in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on the Payment Date occurring at least 5 Business Days following such Affected Person’s demand, pay in accordance with the Priority of Payments such Affected Person such additional amounts as may be sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such increased cost. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by an Affected Person (with a copy to the Agents), shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III shall be deemed to have been introduced after the Closing Date, thereby constituting a Regulatory Change hereunder with respect to the Affected Person as of the Closing Date, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

-56-

(b) If an Affected Person determines that compliance with any Applicable Law, request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) or any Regulatory Change, in each case, introduced or made after the date hereof (i) affects the amount of capital or liquidity required to be maintained by such Affected Person and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Affected Person’s Commitment under this Agreement or upon such Affected Person’s making, funding or maintaining Advances or (ii) reduces the rate of return of an Affected Person to a level below that which such Affected Person could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into consideration such Affected Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then the Borrower shall from time to time (and, to the extent the funds available for payment thereof by the Borrower are insufficient to pay such amounts in full on the applicable Payment Date, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Borrower, shall be obligated to pay such amounts in accordance with the Priority of Payments), on the Payment Date occurring at least 5 Business Days following such Affected Person’s demand, pay in accordance with the Priority of Payments such additional amounts which are sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such increase in capital or liquidity or reduced return. If any Affected Person becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.09(b), it shall notify, within a commercially reasonable time, the Borrower (with a copy to the Agents) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail such amounts submitted to the Borrower by an Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the Borrower’s obligation to pay additional amounts to a Lender pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 2.09, such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower), use reasonable efforts (subject to the customary practices of such Lender) to minimize any increased amounts payable by the Borrower which at first shall include, but not be limited to, designating a different lending office for the funding or the booking of its Advances 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 would reduce or obviate the obligations of the Borrower to make future payments of such additional amounts; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no unreimbursed cost or material legal or regulatory disadvantage (as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such provision. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

-57-

Section 2.10. Compensation; Breakage Payments. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Affected Person from time to time, on the Payment Dates, following such Affected Person’s written request (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), in accordance with the Priority of Payments for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Affected Person to lenders of funds borrowed to make or carry an Advance and any loss sustained by such Affected Person in connection with the re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits), which such Affected Person may sustain: (i) if for any reason (including any failure of a condition precedent set forth in Article III but excluding a default by the applicable Lender) a Borrowing of any Advance by the Borrower does not occur on the Borrowing Date specified therefor in the applicable Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Borrower, (ii) if any payment, prepayment or conversion of any of the Borrower’s Advances occurs on a date that is not the last day of the relevant Tranche Period, (iii) if any payment or prepayment of any Advance is not made on any date specified in a Notice of Prepayment given by the Borrower or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by the Borrower to repay its Advances when required by the terms of this Agreement. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.10 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender (with a copy to the Agents, and accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts and a description of the basis for requesting such amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.11. Illegality; Inability to Determine Rates. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event of a Eurodollar Disruption Event, then the affected Lender shall promptly notify the Agents and the Borrower thereof, and such Lender’s obligation to make or maintain Advances hereunder based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to a Lender’s suspension of its obligation to make or maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate pursuant to Section 2.11(a), such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (subject to the customary practices of such Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation would enable such Lender to again make and maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no unreimbursed cost or material legal or regulatory disadvantage (as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such provision.

(c) If, prior to the first day of any Interest Accrual Period or prior to the date of any Advance, as applicable, either (i) the Administrative Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for the applicable Advances, or (ii) the Required Lenders determine and notify the Administrative Agent that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate with respect to such Advances does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Advances (provided that each such Lender has generally made a similar determination with respect to its other borrowers under facilities bearing interest at an index based on the London interbank offered rate), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

-58-

Section 2.12. Rescission or Return of Payment. The Borrower agrees that, if at any time (including after the occurrence of the Final Maturity Date) all or any part of any payment theretofore made by it to any Secured Party or any designee of a Secured Party is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates), the obligation of the Borrower to make such payment to such Secured Party shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such obligations, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 2.13. Past Due Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on all Obligations other than amounts due under Section 16.04(a) and other Administrative Expenses that are not paid when due for the period from the due date thereof until the date the same is paid in full at the Past Due Rate. Interest payable at the Past Due Rate shall be payable on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 2.14. Payments Generally. (a) All amounts owing and payable to any Secured Party, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party, in respect of the Advances and other Obligations, including the principal thereof, interest, fees, indemnities, expenses or other amounts payable under this Agreement, shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for account of the applicable recipient in Dollars, in immediately available funds, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and all without counterclaim, setoff, deduction, defense, abatement, suspension or deferment. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall provide wire instructions to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. Payments must be received by the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders on or prior to 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day; provided that, payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day will be deemed to have been paid on the next following Business Day.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all computations of interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed in computing interest on any Advance, the date of the making of the Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided that, if an Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s Interest shall be paid on such Advance. All computations made by a Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-59-

Section 2.15. Increase in Facility Amount. The Borrower may, on any Business Day prior to the Commitment Termination Date, increase the Facility Amount by delivering a request substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (each, a “Facility Amount Increase Request”) to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the desired effective date of such increase (the “Facility Amount Increase”) identifying an additional Lender that is a Permitted Assignee (or additional Commitments for existing Lender(s) which have consented to such increase), and the amount of its Commitment (or additional amount of its Commitment(s)); provided, however, that (i) the Facility Amount shall not exceed $50,000,000 without the consent of all Lenders, (ii) any increase of the aggregate amount of the Facility Amount shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000, (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the request or the effective date of the Facility Amount Increase, (iv) all representations and warranties contained in Article IV hereof (as the same may be amended from time to time) shall be true and correct in all material respects (except for representations and warranties already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which shall be true and correct) at the time of such request and on the effective date of such Facility Amount Increase, and (v) unless such increase is increasing the Commitment of, and with the consent of, an existing Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have provided its written consent to such increase (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The effective date of the Facility Amount Increase shall be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness thereof, the new Lender(s) (or, if applicable, existing Lender(s)) shall make Advances in an amount sufficient such that after giving effect to its advance each Lender shall have outstanding its Percentage of Advances. It shall be a condition to such effectiveness that (i) if any Advances are bearing interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate on the date of such effectiveness, such Advances shall be deemed to be prepaid on such date and the Borrower shall pay any amounts owing to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, provided, however, that if a Facility Amount Increase is made among the existing Lenders and the amount of the increase in each such Lender’s Commitment is on a pro rata basis in accordance with the existing Commitments of such Lenders on the date of such Facility Amount Increase, such Advances bearing interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall not be deemed to be prepaid on such date and (ii) the Borrower shall not have terminated any portion of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof. The Borrower agrees to promptly pay any reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent and the affected Lender(s) relating to any Facility Amount Increase. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment and no Lender’s Commitment shall be increased without its consent thereto, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, each Advance made under a Facility Amount Increase shall be subject to the same terms (including pricing) as an Advance under the existing Facility Amount.

Section 2.16. 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 Required Lenders.

-60-

(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) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no 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; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent 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, to the payment of any amounts owing to the 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, so long as no 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, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) 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 (y) 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 Non-Defaulting Lenders 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 their Percentages of 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 or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent 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 their respective Percentages of the Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that 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 provided, further, that 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.

-61-

Section 2.17. Tranche Period Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall accrue Interest at the Interest Rate for the applicable Tranche Period specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. If no Tranche Period is specified in a Notice of Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Tranche Period of three months duration. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Tranche Period as provided in this Section 2.17.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) of such election by delivery of a Tranche Period Election Request by the time that a Notice of Borrowing would be required under Section 2.02 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing to be made on the effective date of such election. Each Tranche Period Election Request shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section shall not be construed to permit the Borrower to elect a Tranche Period that does not comply with the proviso to clause (ii) of the definition thereof.

(i) the Borrowing to which such Tranche Period Election Request applies;

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Tranche Period Election Request, which shall be the first day after the end of the then applicable Tranche Period; and

(iii) the Tranche Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which Tranche Period shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Tranche Period”.

(d) Promptly following receipt of a Tranche Period Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Tranche Period Election Request with respect to a Borrowing prior to the end of the Tranche Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Tranche Period, such Borrowing shall continue to accrue Interest with respect to the last selected or deemed selected Tranche Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower (with a copy to the Collateral Agent), then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, each Borrowing shall be converted to a Borrowing that accrues Interest with respect to a Tranche Period of three months duration at the end of the Tranche Period applicable thereto.

-62-

Section 2.18. Successor LIBOR Rate. (a) If the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that either (a)(i) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.11 have arisen and are unlikely to be temporary, or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.11 have not arisen but the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of the interbank Eurodollar market or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying the specific date after which the LIBOR Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (either such date, a “LIBOR Termination Date”), or (b) a rate other than the LIBOR Rate has become a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in Dollars in the U.S. market, then the Administrative Agent may (in consultation with the Collateral Manager and the Borrower) choose a replacement index for the LIBOR Rate and make adjustments to applicable margins and related amendments to this Agreement as referred to below such that, to the extent practicable, the all-in interest rate based on the replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the all-in LIBOR Rate-based interest rate in effect prior to its replacement.

(b) The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager and the Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect the replacement index, the adjusted margins and such other related amendments as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent for the implementation and administration of the replacement index-based rate, and shall provide notice and a copy of such proposed amendment to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Document Custodian and the Lenders not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the execution of such amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Facility Documents (including, without limitation, Section 16.01), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date a draft of the amendment is provided to the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Document Custodian and the Collateral Administrator, unless the Administrative Agent receives, on or before such tenth (10th) Business Day, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment.

(c) Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the applicable margins, and amendments to this Agreement (i) will be determined with due consideration to the then-current market practices for determining and implementing a rate of interest for newly originated loans in the United States and loans converted from a LIBOR Rate-based rate to a replacement index-based rate, and (ii) may also reflect adjustments to account for (x) the effects of the transition from the LIBOR Rate to the replacement index and (y) yield- or risk-based differences between the LIBOR Rate and the replacement index.

(d) Until an amendment reflecting a new replacement index in accordance with this Section 2.18 is effective, each advance, conversion and renewal of an Advance at the LIBOR Rate will continue to bear interest with reference to the LIBOR Rate, as applicable; provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that a LIBOR Termination Date has occurred, then following the LIBOR Termination Date, all Advances as to which the LIBOR Rate would otherwise apply shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate (without the incurrence of any breakage costs or expenses under Section 2.10) until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and related matters as described above is implemented.

-63-

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the replacement index is less than zero, at such times, such index shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Collateral Agent, the Document Custodian and the Collateral Administrator shall have any responsibility for the selection of replacement index (including any replacement index adopted pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement), any adjustments to applicable margins or related amendments or any liability for any failure or delay in performing their duties hereunder solely as a result of the unavailability of “LIBOR”, the LIBOR Rate, or any other index rate herein.

Such filing of a financing statement is sufficient to perfect such security interest under applicable law (to the extent a security interest may be perfected under the UCC solely by filing of a financing statement); and

(viii) with respect to Collateral that constitutes Security Entitlements, all such Collateral has been and will have been credited to the applicable Covered Account.

(q) Eligibility. Each Collateral Loan included in a Monthly Report or a Borrowing Base Calculation Statement required to be delivered by it under this Agreement as an Eligible Loan was, in fact, an Eligible Loan and not an Ineligible Loan at such time, unless identified as an Ineligible Loan on such Monthly Report or Borrowing Base Calculation Statement, as applicable.

(b) Enforcement. (i) It shall not take any action, and will use commercially reasonable efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others, that would release any Person from any of such Person’s covenants or obligations under any instrument included in the Collateral, except in the case of (A) repayment of Collateral Loans, (B) subject to the terms of this Agreement, (1) amendments to Related Documents that govern Defaulted Loans or Ineligible Loans, (2) amendments to Collateral Loans in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies and the Collateral Management Standard, and (3) actions taken in connection with the work-out or restructuring of any Collateral Loan in accordance with the provisions hereof, and (C) other actions by the Collateral Manager to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement or as otherwise required hereby.

(e) Audit Rights.

(g) Information and Reports. Each Notice of Borrowing, each Monthly Report and all other written information, reports, certificates and statements furnished by or on behalf of the Collateral Manager to any other Secured Party for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Facility Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the date such information is stated or certified; provided that solely with respect to information furnished by the Collateral Manager which was provided to the Collateral Manager from an Obligor with respect to a Collateral Loan, such information shall only need to be true, complete and correct in all material respects to the actual knowledge of the Collateral Manager.

-87-

(h) Amendments to Administration Agreement and Advisory Agreement. The Collateral Manager shall notify the Administrative Agent of any proposed amendment or modification of the Administration Agreement or the Advisory Agreement.

It shall not consummate any plan of liquidation, dissolution, partial liquidation, merger or consolidation (or suffer any liquidation, dissolution or partial liquidation) nor sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or enter into any agreement or commitment to do so, except (i) with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders and (ii) that the Collateral Manager shall be allowed to merge with any entity so long as the Collateral Manager remains the surviving corporation of such merger, with a net worth not less than the net worth of the Collateral Manager immediately prior to such merger, and such merger does not result in an Event of Default under Section 6.2(g)(ii). The Collateral Manager shall give 30 days prior written notice of any merger to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.

(d) Changes to Related Documents. If any amendment, consent, waiver or other modification with respect to a Related Document (other than a Defaulted Loan or an Ineligible Loan) would constitute a Material Modification, then the Collateral Manager shall not cause or vote in favor of any such Material Modification to occur, if such Material Modification would result in the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Notwithstanding anything above that would otherwise prohibit the sale of a Collateral Loan after the occurrence or during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, if the Borrower entered into an agreement to sell any such Collateral Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of such Default or an Event of Default, but such sale did not settle prior to the occurrence of such Default or an Event of Default, then the Borrower shall be permitted to consummate such sale notwithstanding the occurrence and continuance of such Default or an Event of Default, provided that such sale was not entered into in contemplation of the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default and such settlement occurs within the customary settlement period for similar trades.

(b) Sales of Equity Securities. The Borrower may sell any Equity Security at any time without restriction, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the sale of any Equity Security, regardless of price within forty-five days of receipt if such Equity Security constitutes Margin Stock, unless such sale is prohibited by Applicable Law or applicable contract restriction, in which case such Equity Security should be sold as soon as such sale is permitted by Applicable Law or applicable contract.

(c) Certain Restrictions. In the case of a sale of a Defaulted Loan or an Ineligible Loan to an Affiliate of the Borrower at a price less than the original percentage of par paid by the Borrower, the purchase price shall not be less than the Market Value of such Defaulted Loan or Ineligible Loan (determined in accordance with clause (a)(x) of the definition of “Market Value”).

-111-

(b) Purchase of Loans Involving Affiliates.

-112-

(vii) the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any amount to be deposited into the Collection Account in connection with any such substitution and shall deliver to the Document Custodian the Related Documents for any Substitute Loans;

The Collateral Manager and the Borrower hereby acknowledge that each of the Secured Parties are third party beneficiaries of the obligations taken by the Collateral Manager hereunder.

(b) Subcontracts.

(ii) preparing and submitting claims to Obligors on each Collateral Loan;

(iii) maintaining all necessary servicing records with respect to the Collateral;

(iv) maintaining and implementing administrative and operating procedures (including, without limitation, an ability to recreate servicing records evidencing the Collateral in the event of the destruction of the originals thereof) and keeping and maintaining all documents, books, records and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of the Collateral;

(v) promptly delivering to the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent, from time to time, such information and servicing records (including information relating to its performance under this Agreement) as the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request;

(vi) identifying each Collateral Loan clearly and unambiguously in its servicing records to reflect that such Collateral Loan is owned by the Borrower and that the Borrower is pledging a security interest therein to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) pursuant to this Agreement;

(vii) notifying the Administrative Agent and each Lender of any material action, suit, proceeding, dispute, offset, deduction, defense or counterclaim (1) that is or is threatened to be asserted by an Obligor with respect to any Collateral Loan (or portion thereof) of which it has actual knowledge or has received notice; or (2) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(viii) maintaining the perfected security interest of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral;

It is acknowledged and agreed that the Borrower possesses only such rights with respect to the enforcement of rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral Loans and the underlying assets securing such Collateral Loans under the Related Documents as have been transferred to the Borrower with respect to the related Collateral Loan, and therefore, for all purposes under this Agreement, the Collateral Manager shall perform its administrative and management duties hereunder only to the extent that, as a lender under the Related Documents, it has the right to do so.

(b) Exercise of Remedies Not Release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and the Secured Parties of their rights hereunder or any other Facility Document shall not release the Collateral Manager or the Borrower from any of their duties or responsibilities with respect to the Collateral.

(c) Application of Obligor Payments. Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to the Borrower shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be applied as a collection of a payment by such Obligor (starting with the oldest such outstanding payment due) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

-117-

Section 11.04. Authorization of the Collateral Manager. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Collateral Manager to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable in the determination of the Collateral Manager and not inconsistent with the pledge of the Collateral by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, hereunder, to collect all amounts due under any and all Collateral, including, without limitation, endorsing its name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral and, after the delinquency of any Collateral and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the Collateral Manager could have done if it owned such Collateral. The Borrower shall furnish the Collateral Manager (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Collateral Manager to carry out its collateral management duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Collateral Manager to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectability of the Collateral. In no event shall the Collateral Manager be entitled to make the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, 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 foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s consent. Following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (unless otherwise waived by the Lenders in accordance with Section 16.01), the Administrative Agent (acting in its sole discretion or at the direction of the Required Lenders) may provide notice to the Collateral Manager (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator, the Document Custodian and the Collateral Agent) that the Secured Parties are exercising their control rights with respect to the Collateral in accordance with Section 6.02.

Section 11.05. Realization Upon Defaulted Loans. The Collateral Manager will use reasonable efforts consistent with the Collateral Management Standard, this Agreement and the Related Documents to exercise (on behalf of the Borrower and the Secured Parties) available remedies (which may include liquidating, foreclosing upon or repossessing, as applicable, or otherwise comparably converting the ownership of any related property) with respect to any Defaulted Loan. The Collateral Manager will comply with the Collateral Management Standard, the Related Documents and Applicable Law in realizing upon such related property, and employ practices and procedures, including reasonable efforts, consistent with the Collateral Management Standard and the Related Documents, to enforce all obligations of Obligors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Manager may cause the sale of any such related property to the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates for a purchase price equal to the then fair market value thereof, any such sale to be evidenced by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager delivered to the Administrative Agent setting forth the Collateral Loan, the related property, the sale price of the related property and certifying that such sale price is the fair market value of such related property. The Collateral Manager will remit to the Collection Account the recoveries received in connection with the sale or disposition of related property relating to any Defaulted Loan hereunder.

As compensation for its servicing and collateral management activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses, the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to receive the Collateral Management Fee to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to the Priority of Payments, as applicable.

-118-

Section 11.08. The Collateral Manager Not to Resign; Assignment. The Collateral Manager shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon the Collateral Manager’s determination that the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Collateral Manager shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Lender. No such resignation shall become effective until a Successor Collateral Manager shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Collateral Manager in accordance with Section 11.09.

Section 11.09. Appointment of Successor Collateral Manager. (a) Upon resignation of the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 11.08, the Borrower may (with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders) at any time appoint a successor collateral manager (the “Successor Collateral Manager”), which, for the avoidance of doubt may be the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and such Successor Collateral Manager shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Collateral Manager Termination Event, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Required Lenders and, in the case of a Collateral Manager Termination Event arising solely under Section 6.03(a), with the consent of the BDC) at any time appoint a successor collateral manager, which, for the avoidance of doubt may be the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and such Successor Collateral Manager shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. No assignment of this Agreement by the Collateral Manager (including, without limitation, a change in control or management of the Collateral Manager which would be deemed an “assignment” under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended) shall be made unless such assignment is consented to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the ability of the Administrative Agent to replace the Collateral Manager upon the occurrence of a Collateral Manager Termination Event pursuant to Section 11.09 or any obligations of the Collateral Manager in connection with such provisions.

-119-

(b) Upon its appointment (the “Assumption Date”), the Successor Collateral Manager shall be the successor in all respects to the Collateral Manager with respect to collateral management functions under this Agreement subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation Article XIII hereof) and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Collateral Manager by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Collateral Manager shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Collateral Manager; provided that the Successor Collateral Manager shall not (i) be deemed to have assumed or to become liable for, or otherwise have any liability for, any duties, responsibilities, actions performed, breaches, defaults, claims, obligations or liabilities of the terminated Collateral Manager or any other predecessor Collateral Manager arising before the Assumption Date, (ii) have any obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the terminated Collateral Manager or any other predecessor Collateral Manager (provided that the Successor Collateral Manager shall pay any income taxes for which it is liable), (iii) have any liability for any failure to perform its duties as Collateral Manager, or any loss or damages arising from such failure, that results from the actions (or inaction) of the terminated Collateral Manager or any other predecessor Collateral Manager on or before the Assumption Date, (iv) have any obligation to perform advancing or repurchase obligations, if any, of the Borrower, the terminated Collateral Manager or any other predecessor Collateral Manager unless it elects to do so in its sole discretion, (v) have any obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any Facility Document, (vi) have any liability with respect to any of the representations and warranties of any predecessor Collateral Manager under this Agreement, (vii) have any obligation to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights and powers, if, in its reasonable judgment, it shall believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it and (viii) have any obligation to file or record any financing statements or other documents in order to perfect or continue any security interests contemplated by this Agreement unless it has been directed by the Administrative Agent to make such filing or recordation. The indemnification obligations of the Successor Collateral Manager, upon becoming a Successor Collateral Manager, are expressly limited to those arising on account of its failure to act in good faith and with reasonable care under the circumstances.

(c) The Collateral Manager agrees to cooperate and use its commercially reasonable efforts in effecting the transition of the responsibilities and rights of servicing of the Collateral, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Successor Collateral Manager for the administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Collateral Manager for deposit, or have been deposited by the Collateral Manager, or thereafter received with respect to the Collateral and the delivery to the Successor Collateral Manager in an orderly and timely fashion of all files and records with respect to the Collateral and a computer data file in readable form containing all information necessary to enable the Successor Collateral Manager to service the Collateral. In addition, the Collateral Manager agrees to cooperate and use its commercially reasonable efforts in providing, at the expense of the Collateral Manager, the Successor Collateral Manager with reasonable access (including at the premises of the Collateral Manager) to the employees of the Collateral Manager, and any and all of the books, records (in electronic or other form) or other information reasonably requested by it to enable the Successor Collateral Manager to assume the servicing functions hereunder and under this Agreement and to maintain a list of key servicing personnel and contact information.

(d) Notwithstanding the Successor Collateral Manager’s assumption of, and its agreement to perform and observe, all duties, responsibilities and obligations of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement arising on and after the Assumption Date, the Successor Collateral Manager shall not be deemed to have assumed or to become liable for, or otherwise have any liability for, any duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities of the initial Collateral Manager or any other predecessor Collateral Manager arising under the terms of this Agreement, arising by operation of law or otherwise with respect to the period ending on the Assumption Date, including, without limitation, any liability for, any duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities of the initial Collateral Manager or any other predecessor Collateral Manager arising on or before the Assumption Date under this Agreement, regardless of when the liability, duty, responsibility or obligation of the initial Collateral Manager or any other predecessor Collateral Manager therefor arose, whether provided by the terms of this Agreement arising by operation of law or otherwise, and in no case will the Successor Collateral Manager have any liability for any failure to perform its duties as Collateral Manager, or any loss or damages arising from such failure, that results from the actions (or inaction) of the initial Collateral Manager or any other predecessor Collateral Manager on or before the Assumption Date.

-120-

(e) The Successor Collateral Manager undertakes to perform only such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, it being expressly understood by all parties hereto that there are no implied duties or obligations of the Successor Collateral Manager hereunder.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any Facility Document to the contrary, the Successor Collateral Manager is authorized to accept and rely on all of the accounting, records (including computer records) and work of the prior Collateral Manager relating to the Collateral Loans (collectively, the “Predecessor Collateral Manager Work Product”) without any audit or other examination thereof, except to the extent that it knows such records or work product to be incorrect, and such Successor Collateral Manager shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of the prior Collateral Manager or any other predecessor Collateral Manager. If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, “Errors”) exist in any Predecessor Collateral Manager Work Product and such Errors make it materially more difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to the Successor Collateral Manager making or continuing any Errors (collectively, “Continued Errors”), such Successor Collateral Manager shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for such Continued Errors; provided that such Successor Collateral Manager agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent further Continued Errors. In the event that the Successor Collateral Manager becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, it shall, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future Continued Errors. The Successor Collateral Manager shall be entitled to recover its costs thereby expended in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(g) The Collateral Manager will, upon the request of the Successor Collateral Manager, provide the Successor Collateral Manager with a power of attorney providing that the Successor Collateral Manager is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Collateral Manager, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do so or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination or to perform the duties of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement.

(h) The Successor Collateral Manager shall not be liable for an action or omission to act hereunder, except for its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. Under no circumstances will the Successor Collateral Manager be liable for indirect, special, consequential or incidental damages, such as loss of use, revenue or profit. In no event shall the Successor Collateral Manager be liable to the Borrower for any bad debts or other defaults by Obligors.

-121-

(i) Except as set forth herein, the Successor Collateral Manager shall have no duty to review any information regarding the Collateral Manager, including any financial statements or the information set forth herein.

(j) If the Successor Collateral Manager is prevented from fulfilling its obligations hereunder as a result of government actions, regulations, fires, strikes, accidents, acts of God or other causes beyond the control of such party, the Successor Collateral Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as reasonably possible, and the Successor Collateral Manager’s obligations shall be suspended for a reasonable time during which such conditions exist.

Article XII

The Agents

Section 12.01. Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and, to the extent applicable, the other Facility Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, subject to the terms hereof. No Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Facility Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties or obligations or liabilities on the part of such Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Facility Document to which such Agent is a party (if any) as duties on its part to be performed or observed. No Agent shall have or be construed to have any other duties or responsibilities in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Facility Documents, no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders or, with respect to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent; provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes such Agent, in its judgment, to personal liability, cost or expense or which is contrary to this Agreement, the other Facility Documents or Applicable Law, or would be, in its judgment, contrary to its duties hereunder, under any other Facility Document or under Applicable Law. Each Lender agrees that in any instance in which the Facility Documents provide that an Agent’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld, provide for the exercise of such Agent’s reasonable discretion, or provide to a similar effect, it shall not in its instructions (or, by refusing to provide instruction) to such Agent withhold its consent or exercise its discretion in an unreasonable manner.

-122-

If the Collateral Agent has been requested or directed by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to take any action pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or such Facility Document in the manner so requested unless it shall have been provided indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by it in compliance with or in performing such request or direction. No provision of this Agreement or any Facility Document shall otherwise be construed to require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or to take any action that could in its judgment cause it to incur any cost, expenses or liability, unless it is provided indemnity acceptable to it against any such expenditure, risk, costs, expense or liability. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or obligation to take any affirmative action to exercise or enforce any power, right or remedy available to it under this Agreement or any Facility Document or Related Document unless and until directed by the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent on their behalf).

Neither the Collateral Agent nor any officer, agent or representative thereof shall be personally liable for any action taken by any such person in accordance with any notice given by the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent on their behalf) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Facility Document even if, at the time such action is taken by any such person, the Required Lenders or persons purporting to be the Required Lenders are not entitled to give such notice, except where the Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge (without any duty of inquiry or investigation on its part) that such Required Lenders or persons purporting to be the Required Lenders are not entitled to give such notice. If any dispute or disagreement shall arise as to the allocation of any sum of money received by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any Facility Document, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver such sum to a court of competent jurisdiction and therein commence an action for interpleader.

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

Section 12.02. Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Facility Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 12.03. Agent’s Reliance, Etc. (a) Neither Agent nor any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel for the Borrower or the Collateral Manager or any of their Affiliates) and independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Secured Party or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any Person for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Facility Documents; (iii) shall not have any duty to monitor, ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, the other Facility Documents or any Related Documents on the part of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Collateral, this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, any Related Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens on the Collateral; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document by relying on, acting upon (or by refraining from action in reliance on) any notice, consent, certificate (including for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowing Base Certificate), instruction or waiver, report, statement, opinion, direction or other instrument or writing (which may be delivered by telecopier, email, cable or telex, if acceptable to it) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. No Agent shall have any liability to the Borrower or any Lender or any other Person for the Borrower’s, the Collateral Manager’s or any Lender’s, as the case may be, performance of, or failure to perform, any of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Facility Document.

(b) No Agent shall be liable for the actions or omissions of any other Agent (including without limitation concerning the application of funds), or under any duty to monitor or investigate compliance on the part of any other Agent with the terms or requirements of this Agreement, any Facility Documents or any Related Documents, or their duties thereunder. Each Agent shall be entitled to assume the due authority of any signatory and genuineness of any signature appearing on any instrument or document it may receive (including, without limitation, each Notice of Borrowing received hereunder). No Agent shall be liable for any action taken in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action (including without limitation for refusing to exercise discretion or for withholding its consent in the absence of its receipt of, or resulting from a failure, delay or refusal on the part of the Required Lenders to provide, written instruction to exercise such discretion or grant such consent from the Required Lenders, as applicable). No Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless it shall be proven by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the relevant facts. Nothing herein or in any Facility Documents or Related Documents shall obligate any Agent to advance, expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action which in its reasonable judgment may cause it to incur any expense or financial or other liability for which it is not adequately indemnified. No Agent shall be liable for any indirect, special or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action. No Agent shall be charged with knowledge or notice of any matter unless actually known to a Responsible Officer of such Agent, or unless and to the extent written notice of such matter is received by such Agent at its address in accordance with Section 16.02. Any permissive grant of power to an Agent hereunder shall not be construed to be a duty to act. Neither Agent shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper or document. Neither Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in the case of its willful misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.

-124-

Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations imposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters.

(d) The delivery of reports, and other documents and information to the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Facility Document or Related Document is for informational purposes only and the Collateral Agent’s receipt of such documents and information shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver the other Facility Documents to which it is a party. Whether or not expressly stated in such Facility Documents, in performing (or refraining from acting) thereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights, benefits, protections and indemnities that are afforded to it in this Agreement.

(e) Each Lender acknowledges that except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Collateral Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent to any Secured Party as to any matter. Each Lender represents to the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Facility Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the Facility Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or Collateral Manager which may come into the possession of the Collateral Agent.

Each of the Lenders agrees to indemnify and hold the Agents harmless (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to Section 16.04 or otherwise) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, demands, charges, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of agents, experts or attorneys) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agents in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document or any action taken or omitted by the Agents under this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, demands, charges, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; and provided, further, that no Lender shall be liable to the Collateral Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, demands, charges, costs, expenses or disbursements (for purposes hereof, “Liabilities”) unless such Liabilities are imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Collateral Agent as a result of any action taken, or not taken, by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Lenders, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise or to honor any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement at the request or direction of any of the Lenders (or other Persons authorized or permitted under the terms hereof to make such request or give such direction) pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents, unless such Lenders shall have provided to the Collateral Agent security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of agents, experts and attorneys) and Liabilities which might reasonably be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction, whether such indemnity is provided under this Section 12.04 or otherwise). The rights of the Agents and obligations of the Lenders under or pursuant to this Section 12.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and the earlier removal or resignation of any Agent hereunder.

Section 12.05. Successor Agents. Subject to the terms of this Section 12.05, each Agent may, upon thirty days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. If an Agent shall resign then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent. If for any reason a successor agent is not so appointed and does not accept such appointment within thirty days of notice of resignation such Agent may appoint a successor agent. The appointment of any successor Agent shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the consent of the Borrower to any such appointment shall not be required if (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing or, (ii) if such successor Agent is a Lender or an Affiliate of such Agent or any Lender. Any resignation of an Agent shall be effective upon the appointment of a successor agent pursuant to this Section 12.05.

(a) Appointment. Each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereby designate and appoint the Document Custodian to act as its agent and hereby authorizes the Document Custodian to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly granted to the Document Custodian by this Agreement. The Document Custodian hereby accepts such agency appointment to act as Document Custodian pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, until its resignation or removal as Document Custodian pursuant to the terms hereof.

(i) The Document Custodian shall take and retain custody of the Related Documents delivered to it by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) pursuant to Section 7.05 in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all for the benefit of the Secured Parties and subject to the Lien thereon in favor of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties. Within five Business Days of its receipt of the Related Documents and Loan Checklist (the “Review Period”), the Document Custodian shall review the Related Documents delivered to it to confirm that (A) if the Loan Checklist or electronic files delivered per the following sentence indicate that any document must contain an original signature, each such document appears to bear the original signature, or if the Loan Checklist or electronic file indicates that such document may contain a copy of a signature, that such copies appear to bear a reproduction of such signature and (B) based on a review of the applicable note, the related initial principal loan balance when entered into or obtained by the Borrower, loan identification number and Obligor name with respect to such Collateral Loan is referenced on the related Loan Checklist or electronic file and does not appear to be a duplicate Collateral Loan (such items (A) through (B) collectively, the “Review Criteria”). In order to facilitate the foregoing review by the Document Custodian, in connection with each delivery of Related Documents for a Collateral Loan hereunder to the Document Custodian, the Collateral Manager shall provide to the Document Custodian an electronic file (in EXCEL or a comparable format acceptable to the Document Custodian) or the related Loan Checklist that contains a list of all Related Documents for such Loan and whether they require original signatures, the loan identification number and the name of the Obligor and the initial principal loan balance when entered into or obtained by the Borrower with respect to each related Collateral Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Document Custodian’s obligation to review the Related Documents shall be limited to reviewing such Related Documents based on the information provided on the Loan Checklist or electronic file as the case may be. In receiving any Related Documents hereunder, and in maintaining any listing or providing any report or communication with respect to the Related Documents held hereunder, the Document Custodian shall be required only to review such Related Documents in accordance with the Review Criteria. Within one Business Day after the end of the Review Period, the Document Custodian shall notify the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in writing of any Related Documents listed on the Loan Checklist not included in the Related Documents so delivered to the Document Custodian and any other exceptions to the Review Criteria substantially in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto (the “Custodial Certificate”). After the Document Custodian’s delivery of the Custodial Certificate, the Collateral Manager shall have ten Business Days to correct any non-compliance with any Review Criteria. In addition, if requested in writing in the form of Exhibit E-1 by the Collateral Manager and approved by the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days of the Document Custodian’s delivery of such Custodial Certificate, the Document Custodian shall return the Related Documents for any Collateral Loan which fails to satisfy a Review Criteria to the Borrower. Other than the foregoing, the Document Custodian shall not have any responsibility for reviewing any Related Documents.

(ii) In taking and retaining custody of the Related Documents, the Document Custodian shall be deemed to be acting as the custodian of the Secured Parties, and has no instructions to hold any Related Documents for the benefit of any Person other than the Secured Parties; provided that the Document Custodian makes no representations as to the existence, perfection or priority of any Lien on the Related Documents or the instruments therein; and provided further that the Document Custodian’s duties as custodian shall be limited to those expressly contemplated herein. In so taking and retaining custody of the Related Documents, the Document Custodian shall be deemed to be acting for the purpose of perfecting the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein under the UCC.

(iii) The Document Custodian shall maintain continuous custody of all items in its possession in secure facilities in accordance with customary standards for such custody and shall reflect in its records the interest of the Secured Parties therein. Each Related Document which comes into the possession of the Document Custodian (other than documents delivered electronically) shall be maintained in fire-resistant vaults or cabinets at the office of the Document Custodian specified in Schedule 5 or at such other offices as shall be specified to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager in a written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. Each Related Document shall be marked with an appropriate identifying label and maintained in such manner so as to permit retrieval and access by the Document Custodian and the Administrative Agent. The Document Custodian shall keep the Related Documents clearly segregated from any other documents or instruments in its files.

-129-

(iv) On each Payment Date, the Document Custodian shall provide a written report to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Manager (in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent) identifying each Collateral Loan for which it holds Related Documents, the non-complying Collateral Loans and the applicable Review Criteria that any non-complying Collateral Loan fails to satisfy.

(v) In performing its duties, the Document Custodian shall use a similar degree of care and attention as it employs with respect to similar collateral that it holds as Document Custodian for others.

(vi) In no event shall the Document Custodian be liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) even if the Document Custodian has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of such action.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, delivery of the Collateral Loans acquired by the Borrower which constitute Noteless Loans or Participations or which are otherwise not evidenced by a “security” or “instrument” as defined in Section 8-102 and Section 9-102(a)(47) of the UCC, respectively, shall be made by delivery to the Document Custodian (as part of the Related Documents) of (i) in the case of a Noteless Loan, a copy of the loan register with respect to such Noteless Loan evidencing registration of such Collateral Loan on the books and records of the applicable Obligor or bank agent to the name of the Borrower (or its nominee) or a copy (which may be a facsimile copy) of an assignment agreement in favor of the Borrower as assignee, and (ii) in the case of a Participation, a copy of the related participation agreement. Any duty on the part of the Document Custodian with respect to the custody of such Collateral Loans shall be limited to the exercise of reasonable care by the Document Custodian in the physical custody of any such Related Documents delivered to it, including any related instrument, security, credit agreement, assignment agreement and/or other agreements or documents, if any (collectively, “Financing Documents”), that may be delivered to it as part of the Related Documents.

(viii) The Document Custodian may assume the genuineness of any such Financing Document it may receive and the genuineness and due authority of any signatures appearing thereon, and shall be entitled to assume that each such Financing Document it may receive is what it purports to be. If an original “security” or “instrument” as defined in Section 8-102 and Section 9-102(a)(47) of the UCC, respectively, is or shall be or become available with respect to any Collateral Loan to be held by the Document Custodian under this Agreement, it shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrower to make or cause delivery thereof to the Document Custodian, and the Document Custodian shall not be under any obligation at any time to determine whether any such original security or instrument has been or is required to be issued or made available in respect of any Collateral Loan or to compel or cause delivery thereof to the Document Custodian.

-130-

(ix) With respect to the documents comprising each Related Document, the Document Custodian shall (i) act exclusively as Document Custodian for the Secured Parties, (ii) hold all documents constituting such Related Document received by it for the exclusive use and benefit of the Secured Parties and (iii) make disposition thereof only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or with written instructions furnished by the Administrative Agent; provided, that in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the written instructions of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s written instructions shall control.

(x) The Document Custodian shall accept only written instructions of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, Collateral Agent, Collateral Manager or Administrative Agent concerning the use, handling and disposition of the Related Documents.

(xi) In the event that (i) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Agent, the Collateral Manager, the Document Custodian or the Collateral Agent shall be served by a third party with any type of levy, attachment, writ or court order with respect to any Related Document or a document included within a Related Document or (ii) a third party shall institute any court proceeding by which any Related Document or a document included within a Related Document shall be required to be delivered otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the party receiving such service shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the other parties to this Agreement (to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law) copies of all court papers, orders, documents and other materials concerning such proceedings. The Document Custodian shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, continue to hold and maintain all the Related Documents that are the subject of such proceedings pending a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction permitting or directing disposition thereof. Upon final determination of such court, the Document Custodian shall dispose of such Related Document or a document included within such Related Document as directed by the Administrative Agent, which shall give a direction consistent with such determination. The reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Document Custodian incurred as a result of such proceedings shall be borne by the Borrower and paid in accordance with Section 16.04.

-131-

(xii) The Document Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Document Custodian, or the Administrative Agent. The Document Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including a Collateral Manager Termination Event, unless a Responsible Officer of the Document Custodian has knowledge of such matter or written notice thereof is received by the Document Custodian.

Section 14.03. Merger or Consolidation. Any Person (i) into which the Document Custodian may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Document Custodian shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Document Custodian substantially as a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Document Custodian hereunder, shall be the successor to the Document Custodian under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.

Section 14.04. Document Custodian Compensation and Indemnification. As compensation for its Document Custodian activities hereunder, the Document Custodian shall be entitled to fees pursuant to Collateral Agent, Document Custodian, Collateral Administrator and Intermediary Fee Letter.

Upon termination of this Agreement or earlier resignation or removal of the Document Custodian, the Borrower shall pay to the Document Custodian such compensation, and shall likewise reimburse the Document Custodian for its costs, expenses and disbursements, as may be due as of the date of such termination, resignation or removal, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, the Document Custodian shall be entitled to all of the benefits of the indemnification provisions to the extent and in the manner set forth in Section 16.04. All indemnifications in favor of the Document Custodian under this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement, or any resignation or removal of the Document Custodian.

Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by any party to this Agreement from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) No amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, provided that:

(i) any Fundamental Amendment shall also require the written consent of all Lenders; and

(ii) no such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent, the Document Custodian or the Collateral Administrator hereunder without the prior written consent of such Agent, Document Custodian or Collateral Administrator, as the case may be.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Section 16.02. Notices, Etc. Except where telephonic instructions are authorized herein to be given, all notices, demands, instructions and other communications required or permitted to be given to or made upon any party hereto shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by registered, certified or express mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission, or by prepaid courier service, or by electronic mail (if the recipient has provided an email address in Schedule 5), and shall be deemed to be given for purposes of this Agreement on the day that such writing is received by the intended recipient thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Section 16.02.

Section 16.03. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of an obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made, in accordance with this Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and expenses) with respect thereto, excluding: (A) any taxes imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) taxes, capital taxes, or similar taxes in lieu thereof, branch profits taxes and franchise taxes, in each case imposed (i) in the case of any Secured Party, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Secured Party is organized or in which its principal office is located, or in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable lending office is located, or (ii) in the case of any Secured Party or any Lender, by any jurisdiction by reason of such Secured Party or such Lender having any other present or former connection with such jurisdiction (other than a connection arising solely from entering into, receiving any payment under or enforcing its rights under this Agreement or any other Facility Document); (B) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA; and (C) any interest, penalties and additions to tax attributable to any of the foregoing (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law (or by the interpretation or administration thereof) to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable by it hereunder or under any other Facility Document to any Secured Party, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 16.03) such Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. The obligation of the Borrower to make any additional payments in respect of any deduction or withholding of Taxes as set forth in this Section 16.03 shall be subject to the Secured Party’s compliance with the conditions in Section 16.03(g), (h), or (j).

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees (and, to the extent the funds available for by the Borrower therefor on any Payment Date are insufficient to pay such amounts in full, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Borrower, will shall pay such amounts), to timely pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Facility Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or under any other Facility Document, except any such taxes that are imposed with respect to an assignment other than an assignment to comply with Section 16.03(h) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each of the Secured Parties for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 16.03) paid by any Secured Party in respect of the Borrower, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted. Payments by Borrower or the Collateral Manager pursuant to this indemnification shall be made promptly following the date the Secured Party makes written demand therefor, which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate describing in reasonable detail the basis thereof. Such certificate shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error.

-148-

(d) The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Secured Party, or pay any additional amounts to any Secured Party, in respect of United States federal withholding tax or United States federal backup withholding tax to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States federal withholding or backup withholding tax imposed pursuant to a law in effect on the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement (or acquired its interest herein) or, with respect to payments to a new lending office designated by a Lender (a “New Lending Office”), the date such Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to an Advance; provided that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Secured Party would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the transferor Lender immediately before the Secured Party became a party hereto or the Lender making the designation of such New Lending Office immediately before changing its lending office, if any, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such transfer or designation, or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Secured Party to comply with paragraphs (g), (j), or (h) below.

(e) Promptly after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to each Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof (or other evidence of payment as may be reasonably satisfactory to such Agent).

(f) If any payment is made by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) to or for the account of any Secured Party after deduction for or on account of any Taxes or Other Taxes, and an indemnity payment or additional amounts are paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 16.03, then, if such Secured Party in its sole discretion determines that it is entitled to a refund of such Taxes or Other Taxes, such Secured Party shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund, apply for such refund and reimburse to the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager, as applicable) such amount of any refund received (net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred, including taxes) as such Secured Party shall determine in its sole discretion to be attributable to the relevant Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that in the event that such Secured Party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority, the Borrower agrees to return the refund to such Secured Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 16.03(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 16.03(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax 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.

-149-

(g) Each Secured Party and each Participant that is a U.S. person as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Person”) hereby agrees that it shall, no later than the Funding Effective Date or, in the case of a Secured Party or a Participant which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 16.06, the date upon which such Secured Party becomes a party hereto or participant herein, deliver to the Borrower and each Agent, if applicable, two accurate, complete and signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor form, certifying that such Secured Party or Participant is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Secured Party or Participant that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, no later than the date on which such Secured Party becomes a party hereto or a participant herein pursuant to Section 16.06, deliver to the Borrower and each Agent two properly completed and duly executed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX-X, X-0XXX or W-8IMY or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, in each case claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to payments of interest hereunder. In addition, 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, such Non-U.S. Lender provides the appropriate certification pursuant to Exhibit I that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), and such Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall notify the Borrower and each Agent in the event such certification is no longer accurate. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement or participant herein and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender designates a New Lending Office. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms as promptly as practicable after receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrower or an Agent. Any Non-U.S. Lender shall also, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and each Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or its Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or each Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Each Secured Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) If any Secured Party requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to such Secured Party or any taxing Governmental Authority for the account of such Secured Party or to indemnify such Secured Party pursuant to this Section 16.03, then such Secured Party shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 16.03 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Secured Party to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Secured Party. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

-150-

(i) Nothing in this Section 16.03 shall be construed to require any Secured Party 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.

(j) Compliance with FATCA. Each Secured Party shall deliver to the Borrower and each Agent, as applicable, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or an Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or FATCA (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or an Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and each Agent, as applicable, to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Secured Party has complied with such Secured Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from any payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 16.03(j), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Secured Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Section 16.04. Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower agrees to promptly pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents, the Document Custodian, the Collateral Administrator and the other Lenders in connection with the preparation, review, negotiation, reproduction, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel for each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Document Custodian and the other Lenders, UCC filing fees and all other related fees and expenses in connection therewith; and in connection with any modification or amendment of this Agreement or any other Facility Document; provided that the legal fees, charges and expenses of outside counsel to the Administrative Agent incurred prior to the Closing Date with respect to the foregoing shall not, in the aggregate, exceed $200,000. Further, the Borrower shall pay on demand (A) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of outside legal counsel, auditors, accountants, consultants or appraisers or other professional advisors and agents engaged by the Agents and the Lenders) incurred by the Agents, the Document Custodian, the Collateral Administrator and the Lenders in the preparation, execution, delivery, filing, recordation, administration, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any consent, amendment, waiver or other modification relating thereto, (B) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of creating, perfecting, releasing or enforcing the Collateral Agent's security interests in the Collateral, including filing and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, and title insurance premiums, and (C) after the occurrence of any Event of Default, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Agents, the Document Custodian, the Collateral Administrator and the Lenders in connection with the preservation, collection, foreclosure or enforcement of the Collateral subject to the Facility Documents or any interest, right, power or remedy of the Agents and the Lenders or in connection with the collection or enforcement of any of the Obligations or the proof, protection, administration or resolution of any claim based upon the Obligations in any insolvency proceeding, including all reasonable fees and disbursements of outside attorneys, accountants, auditors, consultants, appraisers and other professionals engaged by the Agents and the Lenders; provided that in each case, there shall be a single primary counsel to (i) the Collateral Agent, the Document Custodian and the Collateral Administrator and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and a single local counsel to (i) the Collateral Agent, the Document Custodian and the Collateral Administrator and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in each relevant jurisdiction (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest or the availability of different claims or defenses among the Agents and the Lenders, in which case each such similarly conflicted group of Persons may retain its own counsel). The undertaking in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Related Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of the Collateral Agent. Without prejudice to its rights hereunder, the expenses and the compensation for the services of the Collateral Agent are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy law.

-151-

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, managers of, and any Person controlling any of, the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, expenses, penalties, actions, suits, judgments and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, (including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, administration of or otherwise arising out of or incurred in connection with this Agreement, any other Facility Document, any Related Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (and regardless of whether or not any such transactions are consummated) (collectively, the “Liabilities”), including any such Liability that is incurred or arises out of or in connection with, or by reason of any one or more of the following: (i) preparation for a defense of any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with this Agreement, any other Facility Document, any Related Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) any breach of any covenant by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager contained in any Facility Document; (iii) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager contained in any Facility Document or in any certificate, statement or report delivered in connection therewith is false or misleading; (iv) any failure by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager to comply with any Applicable Law or contractual obligation binding upon it; (v) any failure to vest, or delay in vesting, in the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) a perfected security interest in all of the Collateral free and clear of all Liens; (vi) any action or omission, not expressly authorized by the Facility Documents, by the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower which has the effect of reducing or impairing the Collateral or the rights of the Agents or the Secured Parties with respect thereto; (vii) the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing statements, continuation statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other Applicable Law with respect to any Collateral, whether at the time of any Advance or at any subsequent time; (viii) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than the discharge in bankruptcy of an Obligor) of an Obligor to the payment with respect to any Collateral (including, without limitation, a defense based on any Collateral Loan (or the Related Documents evidencing such Collateral Loan) not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from any related property; (ix) the commingling of Collections on the Collateral at any time with other funds; (x) any failure by the Borrower to give reasonably equivalent value to the applicable seller, in consideration for the transfer by such seller to the Borrower of any item of Collateral or any attempt by any Person to void or otherwise avoid any such transfer under any statutory provision or common law or equitable action, including, without limitation, any provision of the Bankruptcy Code; (xi) the failure of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or any of their respective agents or representatives to remit to the Collection Account, within one Business Day of receipt, Collections on the Collateral Loans remitted to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or any such agent or representative as provided in this Agreement; and (xii) any Default or Event of Default; provided, that (x) the Borrower shall not be liable (A) for any Liability or losses arising due to the deterioration in the credit quality or market value of the Collateral Loans or other Collateral hereunder to the extent that such credit quality or market value was not misrepresented in any material respect by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or (B) to the extent any such Liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Party’s fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct; (C) to the extent any such Liability arises out of a claim or counterclaim brought by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates against an Indemnified Party for a material breach of such Indemnified Party’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Facility Document (which, in the case of any material breach with respect to the Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator or Collateral Custodian (the “Collateral Agent Parties”) arises as a result of its gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith), if the Borrower or such other Affiliate has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim or counterclaim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (D) to the extent any such Liability arises from disputes solely between or among the Indemnified Parties not relating to or in connection with acts or omissions by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and, with respect to the Collateral Agent Parties, such disputes do not relate to this Agreement or other Facility Documents (it being understood that in the event of such dispute relating to or in connection with acts or omissions by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates involving a claim or proceeding brought against the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, partners, representatives, advisors and agents and each of their respective heirs, successors and assigns (each, a “Related Party” and, in each case, acting in its capacity as such) by the other Indemnified Parties, the Administrative Agent or such Related Party, as applicable, shall be entitled (subject to the other limitations and exceptions set forth in this proviso) to the benefit of such indemnification) and (y) no Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall, without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such Indemnified Party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party; provided, however that in no event will such Indemnified Party have any liability for any special, exemplary, indirect, punitive or consequential damages in connection with or as a result of such Indemnified Party’s activities related to this Agreement or any Facility Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein; provided, further, this Section 16.04(b) shall not apply with respect to taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges and withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and expenses) with respect thereto, or additional sums described in Sections 2.09, 2.10 or 16.03, other than any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges and withholdings that represent Liabilities arising from a claim under any Section of this Agreement other than Sections 2.09, 2.10 or 16.03.

-152-

Section 16.05. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

Section 16.06. Assignability. (a) Each Lender may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (in each case not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to an assignee all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its outstanding Advances or interests therein owned by it, together with ratable portions of its Commitment); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided further that:

(i) the Borrower’s consent to any such assignment shall not be required if the assignee is a Permitted Assignee with respect to such assignor;

(ii) the Borrower’s consent to any such assignment pursuant to this Section 16.06(a) shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing (and not been waived by the Lenders in accordance with Section 16.01);

(iii) no assignment shall be made to a natural person; and

(iv) no assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Borrower) an Assignment and Acceptance and the applicable tax forms required by Section 16.03(g) and (j). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 16.06, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or security interest granted to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(b) The Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Agents and the Lenders.

-153-

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) such Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (D) each Participant shall have agreed to be bound by this Section 16.06(c) and Sections 15.09(b) and 15.15 and (E) each Participant shall have a short term rating of at least “A-2/P2” by S&P and Xxxxx’x, respectively. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any Fundamental Amendment. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 16.06(f) with respect to any Participant. Sections 2.09, 2.10, and 16.03 shall apply to each Participant as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to any amount under Section 2.09, 2.10, or 16.03 which is greater than the amount the related Lender would have been entitled to under any such Sections or provisions if the applicable participation had not occurred.

(ii) In the event that any Lender sells participations in any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender as nonfiduciary agent for the Borrower shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Advances held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Advance which is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. An Advance may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register. Any participation of such Advance may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

-154-

(d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of and acting solely for this purpose as the nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address specified in Section 16.02 or such other address as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Lenders, a copy of this Agreement and each signature page hereto and each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the outstanding Advances maintained by each Lender under this Agreement (and any stated interest thereon). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. An Advance may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register and in accordance with this Section 16.06.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Facility Document, each Lender hereunder, and each Participant, must at all times be a “qualified purchaser” as defined in the Investment Company Act (a “Qualified Purchaser”) and a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “QIB”). Each Lender represents to the Borrower, (i) on the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (whether by being a signatory hereto or by entering into an Assignment and Acceptance) and (ii) on each date on which it makes an Advance hereunder, that it is a Qualified Purchaser and a QIB. Each Lender further agrees that it shall not assign, or grant any participations in, any of its Advances or its Commitment to any Person unless such Person is a Qualified Purchaser and a QIB.

(f) Replacement of Lenders. If a Lender (i) is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) is a Non-Consenting Lender, or (iii) requests payment of amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.09 or 16.03 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.09(c) or Section 16.03(h), respectively, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, by notice to the applicable Lender within 180 days after such event (with a copy of such notice concurrently delivered to the Administrative Agent), require such Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 16.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.09 or Section 16.03) and obligations under the Facility Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees specified by the Borrower within 20 days after the Borrower’s notice, provided, however, that (A) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law, (B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.09 or 16.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter, and (C) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. The Administrative Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such assignment if any member of the affected Lender fails to execute same. The affected Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Facility Documents, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (including any amounts under Section 2.10 as if the Advances owing to it were prepaid rather than assigned).

-155-

(g) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances in accordance with its Percentage.

(a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(b) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant.

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Notwithstanding any other term in any Facility Document or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties hereto (each, a “Party”), each Party acknowledges and accepts that any liability of any Party to any other Party under or in connection with the Facility Documents may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect of:

(iii) a cancellation of any such liability; and
