purchase a Collateral Loan that the Borrower (or the Servicer on the Borrower’s behalf) so committed to purchase prior to the effectiveness of such rescission will remain valid and (C) the Borrower (or the Servicer on the Borrower’s behalf) shall
not initiate any negotiations to purchase a Collateral Loan after it has received a notice of rescission of the approval with respect thereto from the Administrative Agent. As used herein, “Approved Asset Validity Period” means, with respect
to any Collateral Loan, the period during which the approval to purchase such Collateral Loan is valid, commencing on and including the date (1) such Collateral Loan is included on the Approved List or (2) on which the Approval Request with respect

Approved List or (2) on which the Approval Request with respect to such Collateral Loan is approved by the Administrative Agent. Following the expiration of the Approved Asset Validity Period with respect to a Collateral Loan (and, in the case of
a rescission of approval by the Administrative Agent, the eight (8) hour grace period), if such Collateral Loan has not been purchased or committed to be purchased by the Borrower, the approval to purchase such Collateral Loan will cease to be

writing (including via electronic mail) whether it has approved or rejected such Approval Request by 12:00 p.m. New York City time on or prior to the second Business Day thereafter (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that any Approval
Request received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 p.m. New York City time on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day); provided that, no Approval Request shall be deemed accepted without
such notification from the Administrative Agent and; provided further that, subject to clauses (iv), (v) and (viii) of this Section 2.02(a), the Borrower shall have the ability to commit to purchase any Collateral Loan approved and

in its sole and absolute discretion, to (A) approve or reject any Approval Request or Approved List, (B) determine which Collateral Loans are included in the Approved List in accordance with this Section 2.02, (C) rescind the approval of any
Approval Request or of any Collateral included in an Approved List and (D) request additional information reasonably available to the Borrower regarding any proposed Collateral Loan; provided that any rescission of approval shall not
invalidate any commitment to purchase a Collateral Loan entered into by the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) prior to the delivery of such rescission, in which case, such Collateral Loan shall be deemed to remain approved until settlement
of such purchase.
Section 2.03 Making of the Advances. (a) If the Borrower requires an Advance under this Agreement with respect to any
Loan Class (x) to purchase a Collateral Loan for which the Approval Request has been approved or which has been identified on the Approved List pursuant to Section 2.02, (y) to fund additional extensions of credit under Revolving Collateral Loans
and Delayed Drawdown Loans from time to time, or (z) for any other purpose permitted under this Agreement, it shall provide a written request for such Advance (which request shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt) to the Collateral Agent
and the Administrative Agent (with a copy to each Lender) (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) not later than (x) with respect to a Dollar Advance, 2:00 p.m. New York City time at least one (1) Business Day prior to the day of the requested
Advance, (y) with respect to a Euro Advance or a GBP Advance, 2:00 p.m. New York City time at least two (2) Business Days prior to the day of the requested Advance and (z) with respect to any Advance, other than a Dollar Advance, Euro Advance or
GBP Advance, 2:00 p.m. New York City time at least three (3) Business Days prior to the day of the requested Advance.
Each Notice of Borrowing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B, dated the date the request for the related Advance is being made, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or the
Servicer, as applicable, shall attach a Borrowing Base Calculation Statement (which Borrowing Base Calculation Statement shall give pro forma effect to any Collateral Loans being acquired with the proceeds
of such Advance on such date or the following Business Day), and shall otherwise be appropriately completed. In addition, the Servicer must provide to the Administrative Agent for each Collateral Loan copies of the Asset Information related to
such Collateral Loan and such additional materials related to such Collateral Loan as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify the Class under which the related Advance shall be allocated.
The proposed Borrowing Date specified in each Notice of Borrowing shall be a Business Day falling on or prior to the Facility Termination Date, the currency of the Advance requested shall be in an Available Currency and the amount of the Advance
requested in such Notice of Borrowing (the “Requested Amount”) shall be equal to at least the Dollar Equivalent of $500,000 or an integral multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, (x) the lower of (1) the
remaining unfunded Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts hereunder and (2) with respect to any Advances other than a Dollar Advance, the Non-Dollar Sublimit minus the Foreign Currency Advance Amount or, (y) in the case of Revolving Collateral
Loans and Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans, such lesser amount required to be funded by the Borrower in respect thereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Notice of Borrowing may include requests for more than one
Advance so long as each request therein separately satisfies the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.03.
-74-
(b) Subject to the requirements set forth in Sections 2 and 3 hereof, each Lender shall, not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on each Borrowing Date in respect of Advances under any
Class, make its Percentage of the applicable Requested Amount available to the Borrower by disbursing such funds in the applicable Available Currency to the Trust Account (or in accordance with the wire instructions delivered in connection with the
Notice of Borrowing).
(c) Multicurrency Provisions.
(i) Each Lender hereby agrees that (A) each Eligible Currency Advance shall be funded in its entirety by the Multicurrency Lenders and (B) each Advance funded in
Dollars shall be funded in its entirety by the Dollar Lenders or the Multicurrency Lenders, as applicable.
(ii) [Reserved.].
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at no time shall (x) any Multicurrency Lender have any obligation to fund any Advance in any currency other than
Euros, Pounds Sterling, Dollars or any other Available Currency or (y) any Dollar Lender have any obligation to fund any Advance in any currency other than Dollars.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.03 to the contrary, the Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, may deliver a Notice of Borrowing to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative
Agent (with a copy to each Lender) after 2 p.m. New York City time on the first Business Day prior to the proposed Advance and prior to 11 a.m. New York City time on the date of the proposed Advance (an “Expedited Notice of Borrowing”). Upon
receipt of an Expedited Notice of Borrowing, each Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Advance on the proposed funding date set forth in the Expedited Notice of Borrowing subject to the terms and conditions for borrowings
otherwise set forth in this Agreement; provided, that if a Lender is unable to make an Advance pursuant to an Expedited Notice of Borrowing due to the occurrence of a force majeure, or any other unexpected and unforeseen event, including,
without limitation, market disruptions, such Lender shall make such Advance subject to the terms and conditions for Advances otherwise set forth in this Agreement as soon as such Lender is reasonably able to do so.
Section 2.04 Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) 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 and currencies 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.
-75-
(b) Any Lender may request that its Advances to the Borrower be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable
to such Lender and otherwise appropriately completed. Thereafter, the Advances of such Lender evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 13.06(a)) be represented by a Note
payable to such Lender (or registered assigns pursuant to Section 13.06(a)), except to the extent that such Lender (or registered assign) subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Advances once again be evidenced as
described in clause (a) of this Section 2.04.
Section 2.05 Payment of Principal and Interest. The Borrower shall pay the principal of each Advance and Interest on
each Class of 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 from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in full. The Administrative Agent shall, prior
to each Payment Date, determine the accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to each Class for the related Interest Accrual Period and Unused Fees payable thereto using the applicable Interest Rate during such Interest Accrual Period to be paid by
the Borrower on each Payment Date for the related Interest Accrual Period and shall advise each Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Servicer thereof and shall send a consolidated invoice of all such Interest and Unused Fees to the Borrower on the
third (3rd) Business Day prior to such Payment Date.
(c) Accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to each Class shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Payment Date, and (ii) in connection with any prepayment of the Advances pursuant to
Section 2.06(a); provided that (x) with respect to any prepayment in full of the Advances outstanding, accrued and unpaid Interest on such amount through the date of prepayment shall be payable on such date or as otherwise agreed to between
the Lenders and the Borrower and (y) with respect to any partial prepayment of the Advances outstanding, accrued and unpaid Interest on such amount through the date of prepayment shall be payable on the Payment Date following such prepayment (or on
such date of prepayment if requested by the Administrative Agent).
(d) 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 and unconditional, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof (including Section 2.15), 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 except as otherwise provided under the Facility Documents.
-76-
(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day, voluntarily prepay Advances under one or more Classes in whole or in part, without penalty or
premium; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent written notice of such prepayment (such notice, a “Notice of Prepayment”) in the form of Exhibit C not later
than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day of such prepayment (and, for the avoidance of doubt, same day notice may be given to cure any Default or Event of Default). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such
Notice of Prepayment. Each such Notice of Prepayment shall specify the portion of the outstanding principal balance under each Class that shall be prepaid and 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. Each Notice of Prepayment shall provide for prepayment of Advances by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06(a), in each case, in an aggregate
principal amount of the Dollar Equivalent of at least $100,000 (other than a prepayment made in order to cure any Default or Event of Default) 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. Such prepayment may be made with the proceeds of a sale or
liquidation of a Collateral Loan in accordance with the Facility Documents or out of amounts available in the Principal Collection Subaccount or the Trust Account on the date of such prepayment.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments.
(i) The Borrower shall prepay the Advances on each Payment Date in the manner and to the extent provided in the Priority of Payments.
(ii) In connection with a sale of a Collateral Loan pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of Section 10.05, the proceeds of such sale shall be applied by the
Borrower towards the prepayment of Advances on the date of such sale in an amount at least equal to the Warranty Collateral Loan Prepayment Amount.
(c) Additional Prepayment Provisions. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be subject to Sections 2.05(c) and 2.11 and applied to the Advances in accordance with
the Lenders’ respective Percentages.
(d) Re-designation of Class Advances. The Borrower shall be permitted at any time, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Collateral Agent, to
re-allocate the aggregate outstanding principal balance under each Class so long as after giving effect to such re-allocation, each Class Minimum OC Coverage Test is satisfied or, if not satisfied, improved.
(e) Available Currency. Any and all prepayments made by the Borrower under the Facility Documents shall be made in the applicable Available Currency.
(a) Automatic Reduction and Termination. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.04, the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts of each Lender shall be automatically reduced to
zero at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Facility Termination Date.
-77-
(b) Optional Reductions. 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 concurrently with the
payment of any applicable Facility Reduction Fee payable in connection therewith upon not less than two (2) 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 the Dollar Equivalent of
$500,000 or, if less, the remaining unused portion thereof, and (ii) no such reduction will reduce the Facility Amount below the sum of the Dollar Equivalent of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Advances outstanding at such time and (y) the
Revolving Exposure 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 Individual Lender
Maximum Funding Amounts of each Lender. Except as otherwise set forth herein, upon the occurrence of the Collection Date, this Agreement shall terminate automatically.
(c) Effect of Termination or Reduction. The Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts of the Lenders once terminated or reduced may not be reinstated. Each reduction of the
Facility Amount pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be applied ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts.
Section 2.08 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 or in any Note 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 2.09 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 required to be made by such other Lender.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, compulsory loan, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Person;
(ii) subject any Affected Person to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and
(C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
-78-
(iii) impose on any Affected Person or any other market relevant to any Applicable Index with respect to the applicable Advances any other condition, cost or expense (other
than Taxes), affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Affected Person by reference to the Applicable Index or any participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Person of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Advance made by reference to an Applicable Index (or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Person hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered as specified in a certificate delivered to the Borrower pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.10, irrespective of
whether such an increase in cost was implemented before or after the Closing Date.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Affected Person’s capital or on the capital of such Affected Person’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Advances made by such Affected Person to a level below that which such Affected Person or such
Affected Person’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Person’s policies and the policies of such Affected Person’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity
coverage), by an amount deemed to be material by such Affected Person, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Affected Person in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person or such Affected
Person’s holding company for any such reduction suffered or charge imposed; provided that the amounts payable under this Section 2.10(b) shall be without duplication of amounts payable under Section 13.03 and shall not include any Excluded
Taxes.
(c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of an Affected Person setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand and the amount or amounts, in Dollars, necessary to
compensate such Affected Person or its holding company as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.10 shall be promptly delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such amount shown as
due on any such certificate on the next Payment Date after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected
Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 2.10 for any costs, reductions, penalties or interest or for any other amounts incurred
more than two hundred and seventy (270) days prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to any increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Person’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the two hundred and seventy (270)-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.
-79-
(e) Lending Office. Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the Borrower’s obligation to pay additional amounts to a Lender pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section
2.10, such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation 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.
Section 2.11 Compensation; Breakage Payments. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Affected Person from time to time,
on the Payment Date (or on the applicable date of prepayment) immediately 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 and documented actual losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Affected Person to lenders of funds borrowed to make or carry an Advance bearing interest that was computed by reference to an Applicable Index
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) any Advance bearing interest that was computed by reference to an Applicable Index by the Borrower does not occur on the Borrowing Date specified therefor in the
applicable Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Borrower, and (ii) if any payment or prepayment of any Advance bearing interest that was computed by reference to the Applicable Index is not made on a Payment Date or pursuant to a Notice of
Prepayment given by the Borrower. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.11 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 2.12 Inability to Determine Rates; XXXXX Market Disruption and Cost of Funds. (a) With respect to any
Advance other than a GBP Advance, if, prior to the first day of any Interest Accrual Period or prior to the date of any Advance, as applicable, the Administrative Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
determining the Applicable Index (other than Adjusted Cumulative Compounded XXXXX) for the applicable Advances, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and each Lender; provided that the
Administrative Agent has made a similar determination with respect to similarly situated borrowers in similar facilities. Subject to Section 2.18(g), thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Advances based upon the Applicable
Index (other than Adjusted Cumulative Compounded XXXXX) will be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice.
-80-
(b) With respect to a GBP Advance:
(i) If (A) there is no applicable XXXXX or Central Bank Rate for the purposes of calculating the Cumulative Compounded XXXXX Rate for an RFR Banking Day during an
Interest Accrual Period for a GBP Advance, or (B) the Administrative Agent receives notifications before the XXXXX Reporting Time for such GBP Advance from a Lender or Lenders (in each case, whose aggregate participations in such GBP Advance exceed
50% of such GBP Advance) that its cost of funds relating to its participation in such GBP Advance would be in excess of Adjusted Cumulative Compounded XXXXX, each Lender’s share of such GBP Advance shall instead accrue interest at the percentage
rate per annum which is equal to the weighted average of the rates notified to the Administrative Agent by each Lender as soon as practicable and in any event by the XXXXX Reporting Time for such GBP Advance, in each case, expressed as a percentage
rate per annum equal to such Lender’s cost of funds relating to its participation in such GBP Advance (with respect to each Lender, each such rate, its “Funding Rate”).
(ii) If this Section 2.12(b) applies and the Administrative Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations
(for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.
(iii) Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to clause (ii) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all parties hereto.
(iv) If the circumstances set forth in clause (i)(B) above exist and (A) a Lender’s Funding Rate is less than Adjusted Cumulative Compounded XXXXX; or (B) a Lender does
not notify a rate to the Administrative Agent by the relevant XXXXX Reporting Time, such Xxxxxx’s Funding Rate relating to its participation in such GBP Advance shall be deemed, for the purposes of calculating the weighted average pursuant to
clause (i) above, to be Adjusted Cumulative Compounded XXXXX for such GBP Advance.
(v) Subject to clause (iv) above, if this Section 2.12(b) applies but any Lender does not notify a rate to the Administrative Agent by the XXXXX Reporting Time for the
relevant GBP Advance, the rate of interest shall be calculated on the basis of the rates notified by the remaining Lenders.
(vi) If this Section 2.12 applies the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as is practicable, notify the Borrower.
Section 2.13 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 and any other applicable Facility Document 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.
-81-
Section 2.14 Post-Default Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on all Obligations (other than any 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 Post-Default Rate. Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.
Section 2.15 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 or any other Facility Document, shall be paid from amounts
available therefor on behalf of and at the direction of the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) by the Collateral Agent to the applicable recipient in the applicable Available Currency, in immediately available funds, in accordance
with the Priority of Payments, and all without counterclaim, setoff, deduction, defense, abatement, suspension or deferment. Each Lender shall provide wire instructions to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent. All payments made by the Collateral
Agent pursuant to a Monthly Report on any Payment Date shall be wired by the Collateral Agent by 2:00 p.m. New York City time on such Payment Date. Prepayments to be made pursuant to Section 2.06 for which the Collateral Agent has received a
Notice of Prepayment two (2) Business Days prior to the scheduled date of prepayment shall be wired by the Collateral Agent by 2:00 p.m. New York City time on such date. All other payments by the Borrower must be received by the Collateral Agent
on or prior to 3:00 p.m. New York City time on a Business Day (the Collateral Agent shall then wire such funds to the Lenders by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such Business Day); provided that, payments received by the Collateral Agent
after 3:00 p.m. New York City time or payments received by the Lenders after 5:00 p.m. New York City time on a Business Day will be deemed to have been received or paid, as the case may be, on the next following Business Day. For the avoidance of
doubt, and only for purposes of Section 6.01, amounts paid by the Borrower shall be deemed received upon payment by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent. For all other purposes, amounts paid by the Borrower shall be deemed received by the
Collateral Agent only upon actual receipt by the Collateral Agent and crediting of such amounts by the Collateral Agent to the respective account(s) from which further payment is to be made. At no time will the Collateral Agent have any duty
(express or implied) to fund (or front or advance) any amount owing by the Borrower hereunder.
(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 (x) 360 days for the actual number of
days elapsed in computing interest on any Dollar Advance and Euro Advance and (y) 365 days for the actual number of days elapsed in computing interest on any GBP Advance and CAD 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 the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent
under this Agreement or any other Facility Document shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
-82-
(c) Any and all payments made by the Borrower under the Facility Documents shall be made in the applicable Available Currency. For purposes of Section 9.01(a), any amounts on deposit in
the Collection Account denominated in any Available Currency shall be applied on any Payment Date (i) first, to make payments in such Available Currency and (ii) second, to make payments in any other Available Currency (pro rata based on available amounts from each other Available Currency, unless otherwise directed in writing by the Servicer), as converted by the Servicer pursuant to the definition of “Dollar Equivalent”; provided, that
such payments shall be subject to availability of such funds pursuant to Section 9.01(a). The Servicer shall instruct the Collateral Agent, no later than two (2) Business Days immediately preceding each Payment Date, to convert amounts on deposit
in the applicable Collection Account into each Available Currency (pro rata based on available amounts from each other Available Currency, unless otherwise directed in writing by the Servicer). Any Principal
Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account denominated in an Available Currency may be converted by the Servicer into another Available Currency on any Business Day (other than a Payment Date) pursuant to the definition of “Dollar Equivalent”.
All risks and expenses incident to such conversion is the responsibility of the Borrower and the Collateral Agent shall have (x) no responsibility for fluctuations in exchange rates affecting any Collections or conversion thereof and (y) to the
extent it complies with the instructions provided by the Servicer, no liability for any losses incurred or resulting from the rates obtained in such foreign exchange transactions.
(d) The parties acknowledge and agree that:
(i) the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on the bases for the prevailing market rate and shall not be held liable for any associated losses (including without
limitation any losses incurred on account of the difference between an indicative market rate quoted by the Collateral Agent and the actual market rate prevailing in respect of an executed trade); and
(ii) the Collateral Agent may retain for its own account any fees and spread on foreign exchange transactions customarily charged by the Collateral Agent in connection
with any foreign exchange transaction(s) settled pursuant to this Agreement.
(e) The Collateral Agent may convert currency itself or through any BNYM Affiliate (as defined below) and, in those cases, the Collateral Agent or, as the case may be, the relevant BNYM
Affiliate through which currency is converted acts as principal for its own account and not as agent, advisor, broker or fiduciary on behalf of any other person and earns revenue, including, without limitation, transaction spreads, sales margin,
that it will retain for its own account. The revenue is based on, among other things, the difference between the exchange rate assigned to the currency conversion made under this Agreement and the rate that the Collateral Agent or any BNYM
Affiliate receives when buying or selling foreign currency for its own account. The Collateral Agent makes no representation that the exchange rate used or obtained in any currency conversion under this Agreement will be the most favourable rate
that could be obtained at the time or as to the method by which that rate will be determined.
(f) The foreign exchange transaction may be transmitted by the Collateral Agent to a sub-custodian or depositary and such entity may not be the foreign exchange counterparty and the
foreign exchange transaction may not be processed and priced as described in this Agreement.
(g) For the purposes for this Section 2.15, "BNYM Affiliate" means any subsidiary, affiliate or other related body corporate of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and which shall
exclude any third party affiliates or other entities of whatever description which are not part of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation group of companies.
-83-
Section 2.16 Extension of Facility Termination Date. The Borrower shall have an option to extend the Facility Termination Date one time, not longer than one year, effective on the
Facility Termination Date then in effect, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
(a) each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have consented to the extension in their sole discretion (written notice of such consent to be delivered to Borrower together with the
requested extension fee (if applicable) no later than thirty (30) days following receipt of the Extension Request delivered pursuant to clause (e) below; provided that if the Borrower fails to receive such consent from the Administrative
Agent or any Lender within such thirty-day period, the Administrative Agent and such Lender, as applicable, shall be deemed to have denied such Extension Request);
(b) as of the effective date of such extension, the representations and warranties of the Borrower, the Equityholder and the Servicer set forth herein and in the other Facility Documents
are true and correct in all material respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date); provided that if a
representation or warranty is qualified as to materiality, with respect to such representation or warranty, the foregoing materiality qualifier shall be disregarded for the purposes of this condition;
(c) the Borrower shall have paid an extension fee to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, in an amount to be mutually agreed upon by the Borrower and such Lender;
(d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date on which the Extension Request is delivered in accordance with the following clause (e) or on the
Facility Termination Date then in effect; and
(e) the Borrower shall have delivered an Extension Request with respect to the Facility Termination Date to the Administrative Agent not earlier than one year after the Closing Date and
not later than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Facility Termination Date then in effect (which shall be promptly forwarded by Administrative Agent to each Lender).
Section 2.17 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(i) That Defaulting Xxxxxx’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 13.01(d).
-84-
(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or
mandatory, at maturity, 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 that Defaulting
Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default or Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that 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 as cash
collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to other Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Event of Default
or 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 such Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its
obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal
amount of any Advances in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, 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 that Defaulting Lender. 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

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 such Defaulting Lender).
(b) If the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be 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 (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase 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 on a pro rata basis by the Lenders
in accordance with their respective Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts, whereupon that 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 Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

of the other parties hereto: (x) one or all of the Applicable Indices (i) may be subject to methodological or other changes which could affect their value, and/or (ii) may be permanently discontinued; and (y) the occurrence of any of the
aforementioned events and/or a Benchmark Transition Event may have adverse consequences which may materially impact the economics of the financing transactions contemplated under this Agreement.
(b) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark
Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice
of objection to such amendment from the Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.18(b) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
(c) [Reserved.]
(d) Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will, with the consent of the
Borrower, have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any
further action or other consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Facility Document.
(e) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, the Lenders, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent and the
Equityholder of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent
will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.18(f) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by
the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.18(e), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or nonoccurrence of an event, circumstance
or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or
any other Facility Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Agreement.
-86-
(f) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, at any time (including in connection with the
implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if a then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate and the Term XXXXX Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other
information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Xxxxxxxxx has provided a public statement or
publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Accrual Period” for any applicable Benchmark settings at or after
such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark
Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Accrual
Period” for all applicable Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(g) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any Notice of
Borrowing, conversion to or continuation of Advances to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request for a Dollar Advance
into a Notice of Borrowing of or request for a conversion to Advances denominated in the applicable currency bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to, in the case of Dollar Advances, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, or (y) any Advance
denominated in an Available Currency (other than Dollars) shall be ineffective, as applicable. Furthermore, if any Advance in any Available Currency is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark
Unavailability Period with respect to an Applicable Index applicable to such Advance, then (i) if such Advance is denominated in Dollars, then on the last day of the Interest Accrual Period applicable to such Advance (or the next succeeding
Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Advance shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an Advance denominated in Dollars bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin on such day or (ii) if such Advance is denominated in any Available Currency (other than Dollars), then such Advance shall, on the last day of the Interest Accrual Period applicable to such Advance (or the next succeeding Business Day if
such day is not a Business Day), at the Borrower’s election prior to such day, (A) be prepaid by the Borrower on such day or (B) be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and (subject to the remainder of this clause (B)) shall constitute, an
Advance denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Available Currency) bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to the then applicable Benchmark for Dollar Advances plus the Applicable Margin on such day (it being
understood and agreed that if the Borrower does not so prepay such Advance on such day by 12:00 noon, New York City time, the Administrative Agent is authorized to effect such conversion of such Advance into an Advance denominated in Dollars
bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to the then applicable Benchmark for Dollar Advances plus the Applicable Margin), and, in the case of such clause (B), upon any subsequent implementation of a Benchmark Replacement in respect of such
Available Currency pursuant to this Section 2.18 such Advance denominated in Dollars shall then be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an Advance denominated in such original Available Currency (in an amount equal to
the equivalent in such currency of such Available Currency) on the day of such implementation, giving effect to such Benchmark Replacement in respect of such Available Currency.
-87-
(h) None of the Collateral Agent, the Custodian or the Securities Intermediary will have any responsibility for the selection or determination of an alternate benchmark rate (including,
without limitation, any Benchmark Replacement or other replacement index adopted pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement) or any liability for any failure, or delay in performing their duties hereunder solely as a result of the unavailability of
the Benchmark, the Benchmark Replacement or any other benchmark rate herein.
(i) Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to
time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective with the written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), and without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Facility Document. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes
in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has
occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides in its
reasonable discretion may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if
the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in

a substantive non-consolidation opinion with respect to the Borrower.
Upon a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or the Servicer obtaining actual knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default, each of the Borrower and the Servicer shall promptly (and in any
event within two (2) Business Days) notify each other and the Agents, specifying each specific Event of Default that has then occurred as well as all other Events of Default that are then known to be continuing. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (which will notify the Lenders promptly) of such Event of Default in writing.
-121-
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in addition to all rights and remedies specified in this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, including Article VII,
and the rights and remedies of a secured party under Applicable Law, including the UCC, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may with the consent of, the Majority Lenders, by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Collateral
Agent), do any one or more of the following: (1) declare the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts to be terminated, whereupon the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts shall be terminated, and (2) declare the principal of and the accrued
Interest on the Advances and all other Obligations whatsoever payable by the Borrower hereunder to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such amounts shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities

Majority Lenders) to the Servicer of the exercise of control rights with respect to the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may exercise the following rights: (1) the exercise of the Servicer’s rights and obligations under the Facility Documents,
including its unilateral power to (A) consent to modifications to Collateral Loans, (B) take any discretionary action with respect to Collateral Loans and (C) direct the acquisition, sales and other dispositions of Collateral Loans to be
immediately terminated; (2) to require the Servicer to obtain the consent of the Administrative Agent before agreeing to any modification of any Collateral Loan, taking any discretionary action with respect to any Collateral Loan or causing the
Borrower to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral Loan; and (3) to require the Servicer to cause the Borrower to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral Loan as directed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.03 but subject to

Section 6.02 OC Ratio Posting Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if an OC Ratio Breach
has occurred, within ten (10) Business Days of the occurrence of such OC Ratio Breach, the Equityholder may, but shall not be required to, cure such condition by making a cash payment into the Trust Account in an amount that would cause such OC
Ratio Breach to be cured after giving effect to such payment into the Trust Account (any such payment, an “OC Ratio Posting Payment”).
-122-
Section 6.03 Repurchase of Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Facility Document, in connection with any liquidation or disposition of the
Collateral, including without limitation, upon the termination of the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Equityholder and/or any of its Affiliates shall have
the right to purchase the Collateral subject to such liquidation or disposition at a purchase price at least equal to the sum of the then accrued and outstanding Obligations, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. Any such party may
exercise such right by delivering written notice to the Administrative Agent (an “Exercise Notice”) which shall include a proposed purchase price and be delivered not later than three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Borrower
receives notice from the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of such Event of Default and termination of the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts, as applicable, and the intent of the Administrative Agent to liquidate or dispose of the
Collateral, and which Exercise Notice shall set forth evidence that the Equityholder or its Affiliate (or designee) has sufficient capital (or has made capital calls for sufficient amounts) to consummate such purchase in accordance with this
Section 6.03. Once an Exercise Notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent, the delivering party (or its designated Affiliate or managed fund) shall be obligated, irrevocably and unconditionally, to purchase the Collateral, at the price
referenced above, for settlement within the normal settlement period for such Collateral. Neither the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall assert any right or remedy in respect of the Collateral, including any right
described in Section 6.01, Section 7.03 or Article XI, or cause the removal of the Servicer, or cause the liquidation or disposition of the Collateral Loans to occur, in each case during the time that the Equityholder and its Affiliates are
entitled to provide an Exercise Notice and purchase the Collateral pursuant to this Section 6.03.
PLEDGE OF COLLATERAL; RIGHTS OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT
Section 7.01 Grant of Security. (a) The Borrower hereby grants, pledges and collaterally assigns to the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for all Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and a Lien upon, all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under, the following property, in each case
whether tangible or intangible, wheresoever located, and whether now owned by the Borrower or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence (in each case excluding the Excluded Amounts) (all of the property
described in this Section 7.01(a) being collectively referred to herein as the “Collateral”):
(i) all Collateral Loans and Related Documents (including those listed, as of the Closing Date, in Schedule 3), both now and hereafter owned, including all Collections
and other Proceeds thereon or with respect thereto;
(ii) each Covered Account and all Money and all investment property (including all securities, all security entitlements with respect to such Covered Account and all
financial assets carried in such Covered Account) from time to time on deposit in or credited to each Covered Account;
(iii) all interest, dividends, distributions and other Money or property of any kind distributed in respect of the Collateral Loans of the Borrower, which the Borrower is
entitled to receive, including all Collections in respect of its Collateral Loans;
(iv) each Facility Document and all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims under or in respect thereto (whether arising pursuant to the terms thereof or otherwise
available to the Borrower at law or equity), including the right to enforce each such Facility Document and to give or withhold any and all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, extensions or waivers under or with respect thereto, to
the same extent as the Borrower could but for the assignment and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement;
-123-
(v) all cash or Money in possession of the Borrower or delivered to the Collateral Agent (or its bailee);
(vi) all securities, loans and investments and, in each case as defined in the UCC, accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, instruments, financial assets, investment
property, general intangibles, letter-of-credit rights, commercial tort claims, documents, goods, letters of credit, money, oil, gas or other minerals before extraction, and supporting obligations of the Borrower, and all other property of any type
or nature in which the Borrower has an interest (including the equity interests of each subsidiary of the Borrower), and all property of the Borrower which is delivered to the Collateral Agent by or on behalf of the Borrower (whether or not
constituting Collateral Loans or Eligible Investments);
(vii) all Liens, property, guaranties, supporting obligations, insurance and other agreements or arrangements of whatever character from time to time supporting or securing
payment of the assets, investments and properties described above; and
(viii) all Proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.
(b) All terms used in this Section 7.01 but not defined in Section 1.01 shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the UCC as applicable.
Section 7.02 Release of Security Interest. Upon the Collection Date or pursuant to Section 8.08, the Collateral Agent,
on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall, at the expense of the Borrower, promptly execute, deliver and file or authorize for filing such instruments as the Borrower shall prepare and reasonably request in order to reassign, release or terminate the
Secured Parties’ security interest in the Collateral. The Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that upon the sale or disposition of any Collateral by the Borrower in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the security
interest of the Secured Parties in such Collateral shall automatically and immediately terminate and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall, at the expense of the Borrower, execute, deliver and file or authorize for filing
such instrument as the Borrower shall prepare and reasonably request to reflect or evidence such termination. Any and all actions under this Article VII in respect of the Collateral shall be without any recourse to, or representation or warranty
by any Secured Party and shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.
-124-
Section 7.03 Rights and Remedies. Subject to Section 6.03, the Collateral Agent (for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties) shall have all of the rights and remedies of
a secured party under the UCC and other Applicable Law. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default but subject to Section 6.03, the Collateral Agent or its designees shall, at the written direction of the Administrative
Agent or the Majority Lenders acting through the Administrative Agent, (a) instruct the Borrower to deliver any or all of the Collateral, the Related Documents and any other document relating to the Collateral to the Collateral Agent or its
designees and otherwise give all instructions for the Borrower regarding the Collateral; (b) sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner, all without judicial process or proceedings; (c) take control of the
Proceeds of any such Collateral; (d) subject to the provisions of the applicable Related Documents, exercise any consensual or voting rights in respect of the Collateral; (e) release, make extensions, discharges, exchanges or substitutions for, or
surrender all or any part of the Collateral; (f) enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral; (g) institute and prosecute legal and equitable proceedings to enforce collection of, or realize upon, any of the
Collateral; (h) require that the Borrower immediately take all actions necessary to cause the liquidation of the Collateral in order to pay all amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations, in accordance with the terms of the Related
Documents; (i) redeem any asset of the Borrower to pay amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations; (j) make copies of all books, records and documents relating to the Collateral; and (k) endorse the name of the Borrower upon any items of
payment relating to the Collateral or upon any proof of claim in bankruptcy against an account debtor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder waive all claims, damages and demands it may
acquire against the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent arising out of the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent of any of their rights under this Section 7.03, except for any claims, damages and demands it may have
against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent arising from the wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or their affiliates, or any agents or employees of the foregoing.
The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the request of either Agent or the Majority Lenders (acting through the Administrative
Agent), it shall execute all documents and agreements which are necessary or appropriate to have the Collateral to be assigned to the Collateral Agent or its designee. For purposes of taking the actions described in clauses (a) through (k) of this
Section 7.03 the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment being coupled with an interest and is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid), with power of substitution, in the
name of the Collateral Agent or in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Collateral Agent, but at the cost and expense of the Borrower and, except as expressly required by Applicable Law, without notice to the
Borrower. Such appointment shall in no way impose upon the Collateral Agent any obligation to take any such action unless specifically directed to do so by the Administrative Agent (either individually or at the written direction of the Majority
Lenders) and subject to the receipt of indemnity from the Lenders reasonably satisfactory to it.
-125-
Each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral, by reason of certain
prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other
things, to acquire such item of Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale
may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall not be deemed to
have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of being a private sale.
Each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder further agrees that a breach of any of their covenants contained in this Section 7.03 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative
Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 7.03 shall be specifically
enforceable against the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder, and each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except
for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under this Agreement or any defense relating to the Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.
Pursuant to the UCC, each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder hereby specifically agrees (x) that it shall not raise any objection to any Secured Party’s purchase of the Collateral
(through bidding on the obligations or otherwise) and (y) that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in the no action letters promulgated by the SEC staff (1) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes
of the UCC, (2) shall be considered commercially reasonable notwithstanding that the Secured Party has not registered or sought to register the Collateral under the Securities Act, even if the Borrower agrees to pay all costs of the registration
process, and (3) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that the Secured Party purchases the Collateral at such a sale.
Each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain
or pay any particular price for any Collateral sold by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement. Each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to conduct, and shall not incur any liability as a result of, the sale of any Collateral, or any part thereof, at any sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, it being agreed by the parties hereto
that some or all of the Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily in value. The Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder hereby waive any claims against the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any of the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Borrower’s
obligations under this Agreement, even if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent accepts the first bid received and does not offer any Collateral to more than one bidder, provided that Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent
has acted in a commercially reasonable manner in conducting such private sale. Without in any way limiting the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s right to conduct a foreclosure sale in any manner which is considered commercially
reasonable, each of the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder hereby agrees that any foreclosure sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale, and each of the Borrower, the
Servicer and the Equityholder hereby irrevocably waives any right to contest any such sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions:
(1) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent conducts such foreclosure sale in the State of New York;
-126-
(2) such foreclosure sale is conducted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York;
(3) not more than thirty days before, and not less than three Business Days in advance of such foreclosure sale, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent notifies the Borrower, the
Servicer and the Equityholder at the address set forth herein of the time and place of such foreclosure sale; and
(4) the Borrower, the Servicer and the Equityholder are subject to terms and conditions in such foreclosure sale that in no material respect are worse than the terms and conditions
applicable to the other foreclosure sale participants.
In connection with any proposed sale of the Collateral directly or indirectly by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent following an Event of Default, the Equityholder, the Servicer and their
respective Affiliates shall have the right to purchase any or all of the Collateral, in each case by paying to the Collateral Agent in immediately available funds, an amount equal to all outstanding Obligations. If the Equityholder, the Servicer
and their respective Affiliates fail to exercise this purchase right within ten (10) days following the earlier of acceleration of the Obligations or notice of such proposed sale, then such contractual rights shall be irrevocably forfeited by the
Equityholder, the Servicer and all Affiliates thereof, but nothing herein shall prevent the Equityholder, the Servicer or their respective Affiliates from bidding at any sale of such Collateral.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.03 to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall be under no duty or obligation to take any affirmative action to exercise or enforce any power, right or
remedy available to it under this Agreement unless and to the extent expressly so directed by the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders, as applicable; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action
hereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party if such action would, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Agent (x) be in violation of or contrary to applicable law or any provisions of this Agreement or
other Facility Document or (y) expose the Collateral Agent to liability unless it has received reasonably satisfactory indemnity with respect thereto.
All sums paid or advanced by the Collateral Agent in connection with the foregoing and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses)
incurred in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Post-Default Rate from the date of payment until repaid in full, shall be paid by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent from time to time on demand in accordance with the
Priority of Payments and shall constitute and become a part of the Obligations secured hereby.
Section 7.04 Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of the Agents and the other Secured Parties, or any of
them, as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or
remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by either of the Agents or any other Secured Party
of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such Persons of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.
-127-
Section 7.05 Related Documents. (a) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby agrees that, to the extent not expressly prohibited by the terms of the Related Documents, after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it shall (i) upon the written request of either Agent, promptly forward to such Person all material information and notices which it receives under or in connection with the Related
Documents relating to the Collateral, (ii) upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, promptly forward to the Administrative Agent any reasonably requested information relating to any specified Collateral Loans and (iii) act (or
continue to refrain from acting) in respect of any request, act, decision or vote under or in connection with the Related Documents relating to the Collateral only in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent (in its reasonable
discretion).
(b) The Borrower agrees that, to the extent the same shall be in the Borrower’s possession, it will hold all Related Documents relating to the Collateral in trust for the Collateral Agent
on behalf of the Secured Parties, and upon request of either Agent following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or as otherwise provided herein, promptly deliver the same to the Collateral Agent or its designee. In
addition, in accordance with the Custodian Agreement, promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days) following its acquisition of any Collateral Loan, the Borrower shall deliver to the Custodian, to the extent applicable, copies of the
Related Documents.
Section 7.06 Borrower Remains Liable. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Borrower shall
remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in and relating to the Collateral (including the Related Documents) to the extent set forth therein, and shall perform all of its duties and obligations under such contracts and agreements
to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, and (ii) the exercise by any Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under any such contracts or agreements
included in the Collateral.
(b) No obligation or liability of the Borrower is intended to be assumed by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under or as a result of this Agreement or the other Facility
Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including under any Related Document or any other agreement or document that relates to Collateral and, to the maximum extent permitted under provisions of Law, the Administrative Agent
and the other Secured Parties expressly disclaim any such assumption.
Section 7.07 Protection of Collateral. The Borrower shall from time to time execute, deliver, file and/or authorize the
filing of all UCC-1 financing statements and continuation statements and the equivalent thereof in any applicable foreign jurisdiction, if applicable, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action as may
be necessary or advisable to secure the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder and to:
(a) grant security more effectively on all or any portion of the Collateral;
-128-
(b) maintain, preserve and perfect any grant of security made or to be made by this Agreement including the first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) nature of the Lien granted hereunder
or to carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;
(c) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any grant made or to be made by this Agreement (including any and all actions necessary as a result of changes in Law);
(d) enforce any of the Collateral or other instruments or property included in the Collateral;
(e) preserve and defend title to the Collateral and the rights therein of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties in the Collateral against the claims of all third parties; and
(f) pay or cause to be paid any and all Taxes levied or assessed upon all or any part of the Collateral.
The Borrower hereby designates the Collateral Agent as its agent and attorney in fact to prepare and file any UCC-1 financing statement and continuation statement and the equivalent thereof in any
applicable foreign jurisdiction, if applicable, and all other instruments, and take all other actions, required pursuant to this Section 7.07 if the Borrower fails to take any such action within ten (10) Business Days after either Agent’s request
therefor. Such designation shall not impose upon the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, or release or diminish, the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 7.07. The Borrower further authorizes the
Collateral Agent to file UCC-1 financing statements or the equivalent thereof in any foreign jurisdiction, if applicable, that name the Borrower as debtor and the Collateral Agent as secured party and that describes “all assets in which the debtor
now or hereafter has rights” as the Collateral in which the Collateral Agent has a grant of security hereunder.
ACCOUNTS, ACCOUNTINGS AND RELEASES
Section 8.01 Collection of Money. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent shall at the
direction of the Administrative Agent, demand payment or delivery of, and shall collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all Money and other property payable to or receivable by the
Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, including all payments due on the Collateral, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall segregate and hold all such Money and property received by it in
trust for the Secured Parties and shall apply it as provided in this Agreement. Each Covered Account shall be established and maintained under the Account Control Agreement with a Qualified Institution. Any Covered Account may contain any number
of subaccounts and related deposit accounts for the convenience of the Collateral Agent or as required by the Servicer for convenience in administering the Covered Account or the Collateral, including subaccounts for purposes of Available
Currencies. To the extent any Available Currency is required to be converted into any other currency to make any payments pursuant to this Agreement the Servicer shall direct the Custodian to make such conversion.
-129-
Section 8.02 Collateral Account and Collection Account. (a) In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Borrower shall, on or prior to the Closing Date,
establish at the Securities Intermediary (i) the “Collateral Account,” which shall be maintained with the Securities Intermediary in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and which shall be in the name of the Borrower subject to the
Lien of the Collateral Agent, and (ii) the “Collection Account” which shall be maintained with the Securities Intermediary in accordance with the Account Control Agreement, which shall be in the name of the Borrower subject to the Lien of

Collateral Agent shall from time to time deposit into the Interest Collection Subaccount, in addition to the deposits required pursuant to Section 8.06(a), promptly upon receipt thereof, all Interest Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent and
identified as such by the Servicer. The Collateral Agent shall deposit promptly upon receipt thereof all other amounts remitted to the Collection Account into the Principal Collection Subaccount including, in addition to the deposits required
pursuant to Section 8.06(a), all Principal Proceeds (unless simultaneously reinvested in additional Collateral Loans in accordance with Article X or in Eligible Investments or required to be deposited in the Revolving Reserve Account pursuant to
Section 8.04) received by the Collateral Agent and identified as such by the Servicer. All Monies deposited from time to time in the Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement shall be held by the Collateral Agent as part of the Collateral and

applicable, the Collateral Agent shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount representing Principal Proceeds (together with accrued interest received with regard to any Collateral Loan and Interest Proceeds but only to
the extent used to pay for accrued interest on an additional Collateral Loan or to make a Permitted Distribution or a Permitted RIC Distribution) and deposit such amounts in the Trust Account for reinvestment in additional Collateral Loans or make
a Permitted Distribution or a Permitted RIC Distribution in accordance with such certificate, email or trade ticket. At any time as of which sufficient funds are not on deposit in the Revolving Reserve Account, the Borrower, or the Servicer,
acting on behalf of the Borrower, may, by delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer, direct the Collateral Agent to, and upon receipt of such certificate the Collateral Agent shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the
Principal Collection Subaccount representing Principal Proceeds or the Trust Account, as applicable, and remit such funds as so directed by the Servicer to meet the Borrower’s funding obligations in respect of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans or
Revolving Collateral Loans or to deposit into the Revolving Reserve Account.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall transfer to the Payment Account, from the Collection Account for application pursuant to Section 9.01(a), on the Business Day prior to each Payment Date, the
amount set forth to be so transferred in the Monthly Report for such Payment Date, including specifying the amounts from the Principal Collection Subaccount and the Interest Collection Subaccount. The Monthly Report shall constitute instructions to
the Collateral Agent to withdraw funds from the Collection Account and pay or transfer such amounts set forth therein in the manner specified and in accordance with Section 9.01(a).
Section 8.03 Payment Account. In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Borrower shall,
on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Securities Intermediary a single, segregated trust account in the name “TRP OHA SPV Funding I, LLC Payment Account, subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent,” which shall be designated as the “Payment
Account,” which shall be maintained by the Borrower with the Securities Intermediary in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and which shall be subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent. Except as provided in Section 9.01, the
only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Payment Account shall be to pay amounts due and payable under the Priority of Payments on the Payment Dates in accordance with their terms and
the provisions of this Agreement. The Borrower shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Payment Account other than in accordance with this Agreement and the Priority of Payments. Amounts on deposit in the Payment Account
will not be invested.
Section 8.04 The Revolving Reserve Account; Fundings. In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control
Agreement, the Borrower shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Securities Intermediary a single, segregated trust account in the name “TRP OHA SPV Funding I, LLC Revolving Reserve Account, subject to the Lien of the Collateral
Agent,” which shall be designated as the “Revolving Reserve Account,” which shall be maintained by the Borrower with the Securities Intermediary in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and which shall be subject to the Lien of the
Collateral Agent. The only permitted deposits to or withdrawals from the Revolving Reserve Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Borrower shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the
Revolving Reserve Account other than in accordance with this Agreement and the Priority of Payments.
During the Reinvestment Period, fundings of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans shall be made using, first, amounts on deposit in the Revolving Reserve Account, then
available Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account and finally, available Advances. On the last day of the Reinvestment Period, to the extent the amount of funds on deposit in the Revolving Reserve Account are less than the
Revolving Exposure, (x) the Borrower shall request a final Advance in an amount sufficient to fund the Revolving Reserve Account in an amount equal to the Revolving Exposure; provided that after giving effect to such Advance, the aggregate
principal amount of the Advances then outstanding shall not exceed the Maximum Available Amount, and/or (y) the Borrower shall deposit other available funds into the Revolving Reserve Account in an amount sufficient to fund the Revolving Reserve
Account in an amount equal to the Revolving Exposure. After the Facility Termination Date, fundings of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans shall be made using, first, amounts on deposit in the Revolving Reserve
Account, and then available Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, after the Facility Termination Date, all Principal Proceeds received with respect to Revolving Collateral Loans shall be deposited into the Revolving
Reserve Account to the extent necessary so that the amount in the Revolving Reserve Account is at least equal to the Revolving Exposure.
-131-
Amounts on deposit in the Revolving Reserve Account will be invested in overnight funds that are Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.06 and earnings from all such
investments will be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount as Interest Proceeds. Funds in the Revolving Reserve Account (other than earnings from Eligible Investments therein) will be available solely to cover drawdowns on the Delayed
Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans; provided that, the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall, (1) during the Reinvestment Period, remit any funds on deposit in the
Revolving Reserve Account to the Principal Collection Subaccount so long as after giving effect thereto the Minimum OC Coverage Test is satisfied, and (2) after the Reinvestment Period, remit any funds on deposit in the Revolving Reserve Account
to the Principal Collection Subaccount so long as after giving effect thereto the amount remaining on deposit in the Revolving Reserve Account at least equals the amount of the Revolving Exposure. In addition, following the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, funds in the Revolving Reserve Account may be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent and deposited into the Principal Collection Subaccount pursuant to and at the direction of the Administrative Agent.
For the avoidance of doubt, during the Reinvestment Period, the Borrower shall not be required to deposit (or keep on deposit) any amount in the Revolving Reserve Account.
Section 8.05 Trust Account. In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Borrower shall, on or prior to the Closing Date,

maintained by the Borrower with the Securities Intermediary in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and which shall be subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent. All cash received by the Borrower from contributions by the Equityholder,
all OC Ratio Posting Payments, all Advance proceeds and any amounts transferred from the Principal Collection Subaccount pursuant to the Priority of Payments or in connection with the purchase of additional Collateral Loans pursuant to Section
10.02 will be deposited in the Trust Account. The only permitted withdrawals from or application of funds on deposit in the Trust Account shall be to (a) make voluntary prepayments of Advances pursuant to Section 2.06(a) or other payments expressly
provided for in this Agreement, (b) to purchase Collateral Loans with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or (c) make Permitted Distributions or Permitted RIC Distributions. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, funds in the Trust Account may be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent and deposited into the Principal Collection Subaccount pursuant to and at the direction of the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.06 Reinvestment of Funds in Covered Accounts; Reports by Collateral Agent. (a) By delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer (which may be in the form of standing
instructions), the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) shall at all times direct the Collateral Agent to, and, upon receipt of such certificate, the Collateral Agent shall, in accordance with such direction, (i) invest all funds on
deposit in the Collection Account, the Trust Account and the Revolving Reserve Account in Eligible Investments having stated maturities no later than the Business Day preceding the next Payment Date (or such other maturities expressly provided
herein, including Section 8.04 above) or (ii) withdraw such funds for the purposes of making payments in respect of outstanding Advances in the applicable Available Currency at such time. If, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
Servicer shall not have given any such investment directions, the Collateral Agent shall invest and reinvest such Monies as fully as practicable in the Specified Eligible Investment (or if none has been selected, shall remain uninvested). After
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall invest and reinvest such Monies as fully as practicable in Eligible Investments selected by the Administrative Agent (and if no Eligible Investment has
been specified, such funds shall be invested in the Specified Eligible Investment, or held uninvested if none has been selected or the Specified Eligible Investment is unavailable). Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise herein, all
interest, gain, loss and other income from such investments shall be deposited, credited or charged (as applicable) in and to the Interest Collection Subaccount. Absent its timely receipt of such instruction from the Servicer in accordance with
the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall not be under an obligation to invest (or pay interest on) funds held hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall in no way be liable for any insufficiency in a Covered Account resulting from any loss relating to
any such investment.
(b) The Collateral Agent agrees to give the Borrower prompt notice if any Covered Account or any funds on deposit in any Covered Account, or otherwise to the credit of a Covered Account,
shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. All Covered Accounts shall remain at all times with the Securities Intermediary.
(c) The Collateral Agent shall supply, in a timely fashion, to the Borrower and the Servicer any information regularly maintained by the Collateral Agent that the Borrower or the Servicer
may from time to time reasonably request with respect to the Collateral, the Covered Accounts and the other Collateral and provide any other requested information reasonably available to the Collateral Agent and required to be provided by Section
8.07 or to permit the Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder or the Borrower’s obligations hereunder that have been delegated to the Servicer. The Collateral Agent shall promptly forward to the Servicer copies of notices and other writings
received by it from the Obligor of any Collateral Loan or from any Clearing Agency with respect to any Collateral Loan which notices or writings advise the holders of such Collateral Loan of any rights that the holders might have with respect
thereto (including requests to vote with respect to amendments or waivers and notices of prepayments and redemptions) as well as all periodic financial reports received from such Obligor and Clearing Agency with respect to such Obligor.

discrepancies, if any, from the Collateral Agent and in any event by no later than the Monthly Reporting Date, the Servicer shall compile and provide (or cause to be compiled and provided) to the Agents and the Lenders the Monthly Report. As used
herein, the “Monthly Report Determination Date” with respect to any calendar month will be the last day of such calendar month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day).The Monthly Report for a calendar month shall
contain the information with respect to the Collateral Loans and Eligible Investments included in the Collateral and such other information that is agreed to by the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent from time to time, and
shall be determined as of the Monthly Report Determination Date for such calendar month.

which such accounting is due to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall notify the Servicer who shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such accounting by the applicable Monthly Reporting Date or Payment Date, as applicable. The Collateral
Agent shall in no event have any liability for the actions or omissions of the Servicer, the Borrower or any other Person, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in any duty performed by it that results from or is caused by
inaccurate, untimely or incomplete information or data received by it from the Servicer, the Borrower or another Person (other than claims relating to the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct).
Section 8.08 Release of Collateral. (a) The Borrower may, by delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the
Servicer (with the written consent of the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent has notified the Collateral Agent in writing, following the occurrence of or during the continuation of an Event of Default, to only permit releases with the
written consent of the Administrative Agent) delivered to the Collateral Agent and Custodian, as applicable, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the settlement date for any sale of any item of Collateral certifying that the sale of such loan is

in physical form for examination in accordance with street delivery custom; provided, further that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Custodian will be deemed to have notice of an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of
the Collateral Agent or the Custodian, as applicable, has received written notice thereof.
(b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent (or Custodian, as applicable) shall, upon the receipt of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer, deliver
any Collateral in accordance with such certificate, and execute such documents or instruments as are delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower and reasonably necessary to release or cause to be released such security from the Lien of this
Agreement, which is set for any mandatory call or redemption or payment in full to the appropriate paying agent on or before the date set for such call, redemption or payment, in each case against receipt of the call or redemption price or payment
in full thereof.
(c) As provided in Section 8.02(a), the Collateral Agent shall deposit any proceeds received by it from the disposition of any Collateral in the applicable subaccount of the Collection

during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding such AUP Report Date, in each case, to the effect that such accountants have applied certain agreed-upon procedures (a copy of which procedures are attached hereto as Exhibit F, it being
understood that the Servicer and the Administrative Agent will provide an updated Exhibit F reflecting any further amendments to such Exhibit F prior to the issuance of the first such agreed-upon procedures report, a copy of which shall replace the
then existing Exhibit F) to certain documents and records relating to the Collateral under any Facility Document, compare the information contained in selected Monthly Reports (and all calculations therein) delivered during the period covered by
such report with such documents and records and that no matters came to the attention of such accountants that caused them to believe that such servicing was not conducted in compliance with this Agreement, except for such exceptions as such
accountants shall believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.
(b) In the event the Independent Accountants appointed pursuant to clause (a) above require the Collateral Agent to agree to the procedures performed by such Independent Accountants with
respect to any of the reports, statements or certificates of such Independent Accountants, or sign any agreement in connection therewith, the Borrower hereby directs the Collateral Agent to agree to the terms and conditions requested by such

of the engagement of such Independent Accountants by the Borrower or the sufficiency, validity or correctness of the agreed upon procedures in respect of such engagement. The Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent, without
liability on its part, to execute and deliver any such agreement with such Independent Accountants in the form presented to it by the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower), which agreement, to the extent so directed by the Borrower

the relevant purposes, (ii) releases by the Collateral Agent of any claims, liabilities and expenses arising out of or relating to such Independent Accountant’s engagement, agreed-upon procedures or any report, statement or certificate issued by
such Independent Accountants under any such engagement and acknowledgement of other limitations of liability in favor of such Independent Accountants and (iii) restrictions or prohibitions on the disclosure of any such reports, statements,

but will not be required to, direct the Collateral Agent to sell, and the Collateral Agent shall sell in the manner directed by the Servicer, any Collateral Loan if such sale meets the requirements set forth below (as shown in the Borrowing Base
Calculation Statement delivered with respect thereto in accordance with Section 5.02(d)(iii)):
(i) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result upon giving effect thereto; provided that the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) may
sell one or more Collateral Loans if after giving effect thereto and the application of the proceeds thereof any existing Default or Event of Default would be cured;
(ii) upon giving effect thereto and the application of the proceeds thereof, the Collateral Quality Test is satisfied (or, if not satisfied immediately prior to such
sale, compliance with such Collateral Quality Test is maintained or improved), unless the Administrative Agent has provided prior written consent to such sale (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and
(iii) the Administrative Agent has provided prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed in the case of each of clause (B)
and clause (C) below) to such sale, if
(A) upon giving effect thereto and the application of the proceeds thereof, the Minimum OC Coverage Test would not be satisfied (or, if not satisfied immediately prior to
such sale, compliance with the Minimum Coverage Test is not maintained or improved);
(B) such sale is to the Equityholder, the Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of the Borrower, the Equityholder or the Servicer provided that no consent from the

or improved immediately after giving effect to such sale; or
(D) after giving effect to such proposed sale, the Aggregate Principal Balance of all Collateral Loans sold or disposed of by the Borrower during the immediately preceding

over such period; provided that for purposes determining the foregoing percentage, sales of Defaulted Collateral Loans, Ineligible Collateral Loans and Warranty Collateral Loans shall not be taken into account in determining the Aggregate
Principal Balance of all Collateral Loans sold or disposed of during such period;
provided that the restriction in clauses (ii) and (iii) above in this Section 10.01(a) shall not apply to sales of Defaulted Collateral Loans, Ineligible
Collateral Loans or Warranty Collateral Loans (as defined in the Loan Sale Agreement).
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 prior to the occurrence 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 of such Default or an Event of Default; provided that the settlement for such sale occurs within the customary settlement period for similar trades.

additional Collateral Loans and other amounts on deposit in the Trust Account) in additional Collateral Loans on the current Approved List or subject to an Approval Request or to fund a Revolving Exposure; provided that no Collateral Loan
(excluding subsequent draws under Revolving Collateral Loans or Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans) may be purchased unless each of the following conditions are satisfied as of the date the Servicer commits on behalf of the Borrower to make such
purchase, and after giving effect to such purchase, and all other sales or purchases previously or simultaneously committed to:

dividend, and (vi) shall be made pursuant to a loan sale agreement or other transfer documentation with respect to which the representations, warranties and covenants by the Borrower therein are customary as reasonably determined by the Servicer in
accordance with the Servicing Standard and with respect to which, if such agreement governs sales to the Borrower, the Borrower has delivered a customary “true sale” opinion from nationally recognized counsel reasonably acceptable to the

accrued and unpaid interest thereon since the last payment date under such Collateral Loan, provided that the proceeds of such sale shall be applied to a mandatory prepayment of Advances in an amount at least equal to the Warranty Collateral Loan
Prepayment Amount pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(ii).
A Sale of any Collateral Loan pursuant to this Section 10.05 shall remedy the failure of any representation, warranty or certification by the Borrower, the Servicer or the Equityholder related to
such Collateral Loan being an Eligible Collateral Loan.

-146-
It is acknowledged and agreed that in circumstances in which a Person other than the Borrower or the Servicer acts as lead agent with respect to any Collateral Loan, the Servicer shall perform its
servicing duties hereunder only to the extent a lender under the applicable Related Documents has the right to do so.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties of their rights hereunder shall not
release the Servicer or the Borrower from any of their duties or responsibilities with respect to the Collateral. The Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability with
respect to any Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Servicer hereunder.
(c) 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, provided such obligation is not on non-accrual) to the extent of any amounts
then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.
(d) The Servicer agrees to supervise and assist in the investment and reinvestment of the Collateral, and shall perform on behalf of the Borrower the duties that have been expressly
delegated to the Servicer in this Agreement and any other Facility Document (and the Servicer shall have no obligation to perform any other duties hereunder or otherwise) and, to the extent necessary or appropriate to perform such duties, the
Servicer shall have the power to execute and deliver all necessary and appropriate documents and instruments on behalf of the Borrower with respect thereto. The Servicer shall comply with the terms and conditions hereof and any other Facility
Document expressly applicable to it, in its capacity as the Servicer, or otherwise affecting the duties and functions that have been delegated to it thereunder and hereunder as the Servicer and shall perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder
in good faith and with reasonable care, using a degree of skill and attention no less than the Servicer and its Affiliates exercise with respect to comparable assets that it services for itself and for others having similar investment objectives
and restrictions substantially in accordance with its existing practices and procedures relating to assets of the nature and character of the Collateral Loans (such standard of care, the “Servicing Standard”).
-147-
Section 11.03 Authorization of the Servicer. (a) Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby authorizes the Servicer (including any successor thereto) to
take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable in the determination of the Servicer and not inconsistent with the grant 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, endorsing any of their names 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. The Borrower and the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall furnish the Servicer (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. In case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent may request instructions from the Administrative Agent and
shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any actions unless it has received instruction from the Administrative Agent. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make any Secured Party a party to any litigation without such party’s
express prior written consent, or to make the Borrower a party to any litigation (other than any routine foreclosure or similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s consent.
(b) The Administrative Agent may, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notify any Obligor with respect to any Collateral of the assignment of such
Collateral to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or account designated by the
Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may enforce collection of any such Collateral, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

that, subject to Section 6.03, the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or an Event of Default or Default would result from such amendment, waiver or supplement. For
the avoidance of doubt, any Collateral Loan that, as a result of any amendment or supplement thereto, ceases to qualify as an Eligible Collateral Loan shall not be included in the Borrowing Base.
Section 11.05 Servicer Compensation. As compensation for its activities hereunder and reimbursement for its expenses, the
Servicer shall be entitled to be paid the Servicer Fee and reimbursed its expenses as provided in the Priority of Payments. If and to the extent that there are insufficient funds to pay any Servicer Fee in full on any Payment Date or if any
Servicer Fee has accrued but is not yet due and payable, the amount due or accrued and unpaid will be deferred and will be payable on such later Payment Date on which funds are available in accordance with the Priority of Payments.
Section 11.06 The Servicer Not to Resign. The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on
it except upon the Servicer’s determination that (a) the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes impermissible under Applicable Law (as determined by the Servicer in consultation with nationally recognized counsel experienced in such
matters) and (b) there is no reasonable action that the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under Applicable Law.

ARTICLE XII
THE AGENTS
Section 12.01 Authorization and Action. (a) 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 to which it is a party nor
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 or any other Facility Document and the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby. 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 Majority 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 the Administrative Agent’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld, provide for the
exercise of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, or provide to a similar effect, it shall not in its instructions (or by refusing to provide instruction) to the Administrative Agent withhold its consent or exercise its discretion in
an unreasonable manner.
(b) If the Collateral Agent has been requested or directed by the Majority Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as applicable, (or by the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the
Majority Lenders or the Majority 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 other 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 action to exercise or enforce any power, right or remedy available to it under this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document unless and until directed by the Majority Lenders (or the Administrative Agent on their
behalf).
-149-
(c) 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 Majority Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) 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 Majority
Lenders, or Persons purporting to be the Majority 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 the
Majority Lenders, or Persons purporting to be the Majority Lenders, are not entitled to give such notice. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon directions provided by the Administrative Agent as if provided by the
requisite Lenders authorized to provide such direction hereunder. 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.
(d) 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 as to the course of action desired by it. If the Collateral Agent does not receive such instructions within five (5) Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no duty to, take or
refrain from taking any such courses of action. The Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with instructions received after such five (5) Business Day period except to the extent it has already, in good faith, taken or committed itself to take,
action inconsistent with such instructions.
(e) Instructions to Collateral Agent.
(i) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action unless it has been instructed in writing by the Borrower (or the Servicer on the Borrower's
behalf), the Majority Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, as it reasonably deems necessary. In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any
action (or forbearance from action) taken pursuant to such written instructions of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Majority Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable.
(ii) Whenever the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to receive or obtain any communications or information pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement, it
shall be entitled to receive the same in writing, in form, content and medium reasonably acceptable to it and otherwise in accordance with any applicable term of this Agreement; and whenever any report or other information is required to be
produced or distributed by the Collateral Agent it shall be in form, content and medium reasonably acceptable to it and the Borrower, and otherwise in accordance with any applicable term of this Agreement.
(iii) In case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, request
instructions from the Borrower or the Servicer and may, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, request instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action
unless it has received instructions from the Borrower, the Servicer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Collateral Agent shall, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Collateral Agent, have no liability, risk or
cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Administrative Agent.
-150-
(f) General Standards of Care for the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding any terms herein contained to the contrary, the acceptance by the Collateral Agent of its appointment
hereunder is expressly subject to the following terms, which shall govern and apply to each of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (whether or not so stated therein):
(i) Nothing herein obligates the Collateral Agent to commence, prosecute or defend legal proceedings in any instance, whether on behalf of the Borrower or on its own
behalf or otherwise, with respect to any matter arising hereunder, or relating to this Agreement or the services contemplated hereby.
(ii) The permissive right of the Collateral Agent to take any action hereunder shall not be construed as a duty.
(g) The Collateral Agent has no obligation to determine the Interest Rate or whether an asset is an Eligible Collateral Loan.
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 other than any Affiliates of such Agent.
Section 12.03 Agents’ Reliance, Etc. (a) Neither Agent nor any of their 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 counsel for the Borrower or the Servicer 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 Document or any notice, consent, certificate, instruction or waiver, report,
statement, opinion, direction or other instrument or writing on the part of the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or the Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible
to any Secured Party or any other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, perfection, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Collateral (or the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens on the
Collateral), this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, any Related Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (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 Calculation Statement), 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 believed by it to be signed or sent by the proper party or parties; (vi) shall
not be responsible to any Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties regarding the Borrower or the Collateral or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for
the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of thereof or any such other document or the financial condition of any Person or be required to make any inquiry concerning
either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions related to any Person or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; and (vii) shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any Person to

or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available with respect thereto. No Agent shall have any liability to the
Borrower or any Lender or any other Person for the Borrower’s, the Servicer’s, any Lender’s or any other Person’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.
-151-
(b) No Agent shall be liable for the actions or omissions of any other Agent (including concerning the application of funds) or other party to a Facility Document, or under any duty to
monitor or investigate compliance on the part of any other Agent or other party to a Facility Document with the terms or requirements of this Agreement, any Facility Document or any Related Document, or their duties hereunder or 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 each Notice of Borrowing received hereunder) in the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. 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 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 Majority Lenders to provide, written instruction to exercise such discretion or grant such consent from the Majority Lenders, as applicable). No Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment made in
good faith unless it shall be proven by a final, non-appealable judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the relevant facts. Nothing herein or in any Facility Document or Related
Document 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, punitive or consequential damages (including 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, subject to Section 12.03(d) below, unless and to the extent written notice of such matter is received by such Agent at its address in accordance
with Section 13.02. Any permissive grant of power to an Agent hereunder shall not be construed to be a duty to act. Each Agent shall have only the duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no covenants,
duties or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement against any Agent. Before acting hereunder, an Agent shall be entitled to request, receive and rely upon such certificates and opinions as it may reasonably determine appropriate with
respect to the satisfaction of any specified circumstances or conditions precedent to such action. 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 or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.
-152-
(c) No Agent shall be responsible or liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots,
acts of war, epidemics disease, pandemics, quarantine, national emergency, governmental regulations imposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, loss or malfunction of utilities, communications or
computers (software and hardware) services, earthquakes or other disasters, national emergency, malware or ransomware attack, unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex system or other applicable wire or funds transfer system, or
unavailability of any securities clearing system.
(d) The delivery of reports and other documents and information to the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Facility 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 which are afforded to it in this Agreement.
(e) Each Lender acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Agent has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by either 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 such Agent to any Secured Party as to any matter. Each Lender represents to
each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon such 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 the Servicer, 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 either 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
Servicer. Neither Agent shall 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 Servicer which may come into the possession of such Agent.
-153-
Section 12.04 Indemnification. Each of the Lenders agrees to indemnify and hold the Agents and the Securities Intermediary harmless (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of
the Borrower pursuant to Section 13.04 or otherwise) from and against any and all Liabilities 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 or the Securities Intermediary
for any portion of such Liabilities resulting from such Agent’s or the Securities Intermediary’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 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 by the express terms of this Agreement or 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 the Administrative Agent or 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 Document, unless the Administrative Agent or such Lenders shall have provided to the Collateral Agent security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses
(including reasonable and documented attorney’s fees and expenses) 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. (a) Subject to the terms of this Section 12.05, each Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’
notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. If an Agent shall resign, then the Majority 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 (30) 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) a Default or 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. After the effectiveness of any retiring Agent’s
resignation hereunder as Agent, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents and the provisions of this Article XII shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents. If no successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have been appointed and an instrument of
acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall not have been delivered to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, within sixty days after giving of notice of resignation by the
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, the resigning Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent, as applicable.
-154-
(b) Any Person (i) into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or
(iii) that may succeed to the corporate trust properties and assets of the Collateral Agent substantially as a whole, shall be the successor to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.
Section 12.06 The Collateral Agent. (a) The Collateral Agent shall have no liability for losses arising from (i) any
cause beyond its control, (ii) any delay, error, omission or default of any mail, telegraph, cable or wireless agency or operator, or (iii) the acts or edicts of any government or governmental agency or other group or entity exercising governmental
powers.

filed in connection with this Agreement or the validity or perfection of any lien or security interest created pursuant to this Agreement.
(d) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Borrower. In no event shall the
Collateral Agent be liable for the selection of any investments or any losses in connection therewith (except in its capacity as obligor thereunder, if applicable), or for any failure of the relevant party to provide investment instruction to the
Collateral Agent in connection with the investment of funds in or from any account set forth herein.
(e) The Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of the Servicer, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to provide accurate and
complete information on a timely basis to the Collateral Agent, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on the
Collateral Agent’s part of any of its duties hereunder that is caused by or results from any such inaccurate, incomplete or untimely information received by it, or other failure on the part of any such other party to comply with the terms hereof.
-155-
(f) The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any certificate, report or other document; provided, however,
that, if the form thereof is prescribed by this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall examine the same to determine whether it conforms on its face to the requirements hereof. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of
any matter unless actually known to a Responsible Officer. It is expressly acknowledged by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that performance by the Collateral Agent of its various duties hereunder (including
recalculations to be performed in respect of the matters contemplated hereby) shall be based upon, and in reliance upon, data, information and notices provided to it by the Servicer (and/or the Borrower) and/or any related bank agent, obligor or
similar party with respect to the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of any such information or data provided to it by such persons and shall be entitled to update its records (as it may deem
necessary or appropriate). Nothing herein shall impose or imply any duty or obligation on the part of the Collateral Agent to verify, investigate or audit any such information or data, or to determine or monitor on an independent basis whether any
issuer of the Collateral is in default or in compliance with the underlying documents governing or securing such item of Collateral, from time to time.
(g) The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to determine or inquire into the happening or occurrence of any event or contingency, and it is agreed that its duties hereunder are purely
ministerial in nature.
(h) Should any controversy arise between the undersigned with respect to the Collateral held by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall follow the instructions of the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties.
(i) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest (on behalf of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to
exercise any such powers. Except for performing the obligations expressly imposed on the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or responsibility for ascertaining or taking action with respect to
calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or taking any steps to preserve rights against prior parties or
other rights pertaining to any Collateral.
(j) In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of
terrorist activities and money laundering, the Collateral Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Collateral Agent. Accordingly,
each of the parties hereto agrees to provide to the Collateral Agent upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available to such party in order to enable the Collateral Agent to comply with such
requirements.
(k) If The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association or the Collateral Agent is also acting in another capacity, including as Custodian or Securities Intermediary, the
rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association or the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article XII shall also be afforded to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,
National Association or the Collateral Agent acting in such capacities; provided that such rights, protections, benefits, immunities and indemnities shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any rights, protections, benefits,
immunities and indemnities provided in the Custodian Agreement, Account Control Agreement or any other Facility Documents to which The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association or the Collateral Agent in such capacity is a party.
-156-
(l) The Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to determine if a Collateral Loan meets the criteria specified in the definition of Eligible Collateral Loan or if the requirements
set forth in the definition of “Deliver” have been satisfied.
Section 12.07 Erroneous Payments.
(a) If an Agent notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party such Lender (any such Lender, Secured Party or other
recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that such Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from such Agent or
any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds,
whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof),
such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of such Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of such Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment
Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the relevant Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as
to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient
to the date such amount is repaid to such Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice
of an Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party such Lender, hereby further
agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from an Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different
amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by such Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied
by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by such Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole
or in part) in each case:
-157-
(i) (1) in the case of immediately preceding clause (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from such Agent to the contrary)
or (2) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii) such Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one
Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify such Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section
12.07(b)(ii).
(c) Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes each Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Facility Document, or
otherwise payable or distributable by such Agent to such Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to such Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the related Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by such Agent in accordance with immediately
preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an
“Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon such Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount) with respect to which
such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Advances”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as such Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Erroneous Payment Impacted
Advances (but not its Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with any assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such
instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any promissory notes evidencing such
Advances to the Borrower or the applicable Agent, (ii) the applicable Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the applicable Agent as the assignee
Lender shall become a Lender, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the
avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may
reflect in the Register the relevant Agent’s ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The applicable Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment
Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the applicable
Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Individual
Lender Maximum Funding Amount of any Lender and such Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent
that the applicable Agent has sold an Advance (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether such Agent may be equitably subrogated, such Agent shall be contractually subrogated to
all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or Secured Party under the Facility Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency.
-158-
(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower, except, in each case, to the
extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the related Agent or applicable Lender from the Borrower for the purpose of making payment in respect of the
Obligations.
(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim,
counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by an Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for
value” or any similar doctrine.
(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 12.07(g) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable,
any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Maximum Facility Amount and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations (or any portion thereof).
(h) For purposes of this Section 12.07, references to Secured Party or Secured Parties shall not include BNYM in any of its capacities, including as the Collateral Agent
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 13.01 No Waiver; Modifications in Writing. (a) No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Party exercising any
right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Any
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, and any consent to any departure by any party to this Agreement or any other Facility Document from the terms of any provision of this Agreement or such other Facility
Document, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower or the Servicer in any case shall entitle the Borrower or the Servicer to any other or further notice
or demand in similar or other circumstances.
-159-
(b) No amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders; provided
that:
(i) any Fundamental Amendment shall require the written consent of all Lenders affected thereby; and
(ii) no such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent hereunder without the prior written
consent of such Agent.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with the increase of the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts hereunder, only the consent of the Lender increasing
its Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount (or providing a new Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount) shall be required for any amendment that effects such increase in Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts.
(d) 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 Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount
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 13.02 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 (of a .pdf or other similar file 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 13.02. Unless otherwise specified in a notice sent or delivered in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.02, notices,
demands, instructions and other communications in writing shall be given to or made upon the respective parties hereto at their respective addresses (or to their respective facsimile numbers or email addresses) indicated in Schedule 5, and, in the
case of telephonic instructions or notices, by calling the telephone number or numbers indicated for such party in Schedule 5.
-160-
BNYM, in each of its capacities, shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant
to this Agreement, any other Facility Document, or any document executed in connection herewith and delivered using Electronic Means; provided,
however, that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Majority Lenders and the Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to BNYM an incumbency
certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions
(“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Majority Lenders and the Servicer, as applicable, whenever a
person is to be added or deleted form the listing. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Majority Lenders and the Servicer, as applicable, elects to give BNYM Instructions using Electronic Means, BNYM’s reasonable understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Majority Lenders and the Servicer understand and agree that BNYM cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that BNYM shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to
have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to BNYM have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Majority Lenders and the Servicer shall be responsible for
ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to BNYM and that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Majority Lenders and the Servicer and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard
the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Majority Lenders and the Servicer, as applicable. BNYM shall not be liable
for any loss, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from BNYM’s reliance in good faith upon and compliance with such Instructions. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Majority Lenders and the Servicer agree: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to
submit Instructions to BNYM, including without
limitation the risk of BNYM acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the
risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to BNYM and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Majority Lenders and the Servicer, as applicable; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify BNYM immediately upon learning
of any compromised or unauthorized use of the security procedures. “Electronic Means” shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, facsimile transmission, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes,
passwords and/or authentication keys issued by BNYM or another party, or another method or system specified by BNYM and agreed by the parties hereunder as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.
Section 13.03 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Facility
Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any and all Taxes with respect thereto, unless required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent)
requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, then the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction
or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may
be necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 13.03) the applicable Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
-161-
(b) The Borrower agrees to timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the
payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Secured Party, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or
asserted by any jurisdiction on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 13.03) payable or paid by any Secured Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Secured Party and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability shall be
promptly delivered to the Borrower by a Secured Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Secured Party, and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent
that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of
Section 13.06(c)(ii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Facility Document, and
any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Facility
Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 13.03(d).
(e) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 13.03, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative
Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of payment as may be reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.
-162-
(f) If any Secured Party in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith, determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes with respect to which it has been indemnified pursuant to
this Section 13.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 13.03(a)), such Secured Party shall reimburse the Borrower (or the Servicer, as applicable) such amount of any refund received (net of reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred), but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 13.03 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund), as such Secured Party shall determine in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith, to be attributable to the relevant Indemnified 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 13.03(f), in no event will any Secured Party be required to pay any amount to an
indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 13.03(f) the payment of which would place such Secured Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Secured Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to
such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall any Agent have any obligation
to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender, as the case may be. This clause shall not be construed to
require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g) (i) Any Secured Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Facility Document shall deliver to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Secured Party, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law
or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Secured Party is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 13.03(g)(ii), (iii) and (v) below) shall not be required if
in the Secured Party’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Secured Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Secured Party.
Without limiting the generality of Section 13.03(g)(i),
(ii) each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the reasonable request of the Borrower or any Agent), deliver to the Borrower and each Agent, two accurate, complete and signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup
withholding tax.
(iii) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and each Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or any Agent), two accurate, complete and signed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:
(A) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any
Facility Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other
applicable payments under any Facility Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of
such tax treaty;
-163-
(B) IRS Form W-8ECI;
(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that
such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the Borrower or the Borrower’s sole regarded owner within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled
foreign corporation” related to the Borrower or the Borrower’s sole regarded owner as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable); or
(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8BEN,
IRS Form W-9, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such
Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(iv) each Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agents (in such number of copies as shall be requested by
the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or any Agent), duly completed and executed copies of any other
form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Agents to
determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(v) if a payment made to a Secured Party under any Facility Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Secured Party were to fail
to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Secured Party shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 13.03(g)(v), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement.
-164-
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h) If any Lender requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to such Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender pursuant to this
Section 13.03, then such Lender 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 13.03 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 13.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a
Lender, the termination of the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Facility Document.
Section 13.04 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower agrees to promptly pay on demand all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the preparation, review, negotiation, reproduction, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, including the reasonable and
documented fees and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent and one outside counsel for the Collateral Agent, costs and expenses of creating, perfecting, releasing or enforcing the Collateral Agent’s security interests in
the Collateral, including filing and recording fees, expenses, search fees, UCC filing fees and the equivalent thereof in any foreign jurisdiction, if applicable, and all other related fees and expenses in connection therewith; and in connection
with the administration and any waiver, consent, modification or amendment or similar agreement in respect of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Facility Document and advising the Agents and Lenders as to their respective rights, remedies and
responsibilities. The Borrower agrees to promptly pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each of the Secured Parties in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Facility
Document, including all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent 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 Collateral Agent 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 counsel, accountants, auditors, consultants, appraisers and other professionals engaged by the Collateral Agent; provided that, in each case, there shall be
one primary outside attorney and one local counsel representing such Secured Parties (other than the Collateral Agent, who shall have one primary outside attorney and one local counsel) unless any conflict of interest arises. Without prejudice to
its rights hereunder, the expenses and the compensation for the services of the Secured Parties are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy law. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 13.04(a) shall not
apply to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim, which shall be covered by Section 13.03.
-165-
(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, a “Related Party” and, together with the relevant Secured Party, each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Liabilities 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 (i) 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), (ii) any Advance or contribution by the Equityholder or the use or proposed use of
the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by a party hereto,
and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto; except that the Borrower shall not be liable to the extent any such Liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from such Indemnified Party’s bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct; provided that any payment hereunder which relates to Taxes and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and expenses) with respect thereto, or
additional sums described in Section 2.10, 2.11 or 13.03, shall not be covered by this Section 13.04(b). In no case shall the Borrower be responsible for any Indemnified Party’s lost revenues or profits or for any indirect, special, punitive or
consequential damages suffered by such Indemnified Party; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnity obligations under this Section 13.04(b) to the extent such indirect, special, punitive or
consequential damages are included in any third party claim paid by Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party is otherwise entitled to indemnification therefor pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) . The Borrower shall not have any liability
hereunder to any Indemnified Party to the extent an Indemnified Party affects any settlement of a matter that is (or could be) subject to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Borrower. The agreements in this clause
(b) shall survive the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other obligations and liabilities of the parties under the Facility Documents. All amounts due under this clause (b) shall be payable immediately if funds in the Covered Accounts
are available for such payment and no later than the next Payment Date that occurs at least 10 Business Days after demand therefor to the extent that funds in the Covered Accounts are available for such payment in accordance with this Agreement.
-166-
(c) The Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Liabilities 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 any one or more of the following: (i) any breach by the Servicer of any covenant or any of its obligations under any Facility Document, (ii) the failure of any of the
representations or warranties of the Servicer set forth in any Facility Document or in any certificate, statement or report delivered in connection therewith to be true when made or when deemed made or repeated and (iii) by reason of any gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) on the part of the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer; except the Servicer shall not be liable to the
extent any such Liability (x) results from the performance or non-performance of the Collateral Loans or (y) is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s bad faith,
gross negligence or wilful misconduct; provided that any payment hereunder which relates to taxes, levies, imposes, deductions, charges and withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and expenses) with respect thereto,
or additional sums described in Section 2.10, 2.11 or 13.03, shall not be covered by this Section 13.04(c). The Servicer shall not have any liability hereunder to any Indemnified Party to the extent an Indemnified Party affects any settlement of a
matter that is (or could be) subject to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In no case shall the Servicer be responsible for any Indemnified
Party’s lost revenues or profits or for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages suffered by such Indemnified Party; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Servicer’s indemnity obligations under
this Section 13.04(c) to the extent such indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages are included in any third party claim paid by Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party is otherwise entitled to indemnification therefor pursuant to
this Section 13.04(c).
Section 13.05 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. This Agreement shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party when executed
and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) an original manual signature; (ii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or (iii) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the UCC (collectively, “Signature Law”),
in each case to the extent applicable; provided that no electronic signatures may be affixed through the use of a third-party service provider. Each faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for
all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or
photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall
be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the UCC or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings.
Section 13.06 Assignability. (a) Each Lender may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, 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 Individual Lender Maximum Funding
Amount); provided that:
-167-
(i) each of the Borrower’s and the Administrative Agent’s consent to any such assignment (A) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (B) shall not be required
if the assignee is a Permitted Assignee with respect to such assignor; and
(ii) the Borrower’s consent to any such assignment pursuant to this Section 13.06(a) shall not be required if (x) an Event of Default shall have occurred (and not been
waived by the Lenders in accordance with Section 13.01) or (y) such assignment is required as a result of any Change in Law (provided that each Lender shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to not make any such assignment pursuant to
this clause (y) to a Disqualified Institution).
The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) an Assignment and Acceptance and the applicable tax forms required by
Section 13.03(g). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 13.06, no assignment by any Lender to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates shall be permitted.
(b) Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Agents and the Lenders.
(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of, but with notice to, the Borrower, sell participations to Participants 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 Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (D) each Participant shall have agreed to be bound by this Section
13.06(c), Section 13.06(d), Section 13.06(e) and Section 13.17 and (E) such Participant is not a Disqualified Institution. 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. Sections 2.10, 2.11, and 13.03 shall apply to each Participant as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 13.06 (subject to the requirements and limitations
set forth in Section 13.03, including the requirements under Section 13.03(g)); provided that (A) such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 13.03(g) as if it were an assignee under clause (a) of this Section 13.06 and (B)
no Participant shall be entitled to any amount under Section 2.10, 2.11, or 13.03 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, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater amount results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.
-168-
(ii) In the event that any Lender sells participations in any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder, such Xxxxxx as nonfiduciary agent for the Borrower shall
maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of all participants in the Advances held by it and the principal amount of (and stated interest on) 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 (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any
commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Facility Document) to any Person 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 and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in a Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in such 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.
(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 13.02 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 shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 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 (and a Note, if any, evidencing the
same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each Note, if any, shall expressly so provide) and compliance with this Section 13.06. The Administrative Agent shall update and
furnish to the Collateral Agent and the Borrower from time to time at the request of the Collateral Agent or the Borrower an updated version of Schedule 1 reflecting the then-current allocation of the Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amounts.
(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 Individual Lender Maximum Funding Amount to any Person unless (A) such Person shall have represented and agreed in writing that it is a Qualified Purchaser
and a QIB at the time of such assignment or participation, (B) such Person agrees that it will be bound by the restrictions on contained in this Section 13.06(e), (C) a copy of any such representations or agreements shall have been furnished to the
Borrower and (D) any such representations or agreements shall run to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Borrower.
-169-
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 13.06, 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.
Section 13.07 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER
FACILITY DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section 13.08 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of
such provision in any other jurisdiction.
-170-

(a) to its Affiliates, directors, officers, members, principals and employees, and to its agents, counsel and other advisors that have a need for such information relative to this facility (collectively, the “Related Parties”) (it being
understood that, in each case, the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and the disclosing party shall be responsible for any
breach by its Related Parties under this Section 13.09); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as
the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Information; (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or regulations
or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that with respect to disclosures of Information pursuant to a subpoena or similar legal process, any disclosure under this clause (c) (A) prior to any disclosure under this clause (c)
the disclosing party agrees to provide the Borrower with prior written notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior written notice to the Borrower
pursuant to the terms of the subpoena or other legal process and (B) shall be limited to the portion of the Information as may be required by such Governmental Authority pursuant to such subpoena or other legal process; (d) to any other party
hereto; (e) in connection with the performance of duties or exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Facility Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Facility Document or the enforcement of rights

prospective assignee or participant) has agreed to maintain confidentiality pursuant to this Section 13.09 or another non-disclosure agreement substantially similar hereto, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any
swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder that has agreed to maintain confidentiality pursuant to this Section 13.09 or another
non-disclosure agreement substantially similar hereto; or (iii) any rating agency; or (g) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section by such party, or (y) becomes available to
such party or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a party to this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 13.09, “Information” means all information received from a party to this Agreement,
the terms and substance of this Agreement and each other Facility Document and any term sheet.

taken as a whole incorporate the entire agreement between the parties hereto and thereto concerning the subject matter hereof and thereof and this Agreement and such other Facility Documents supersede any prior agreements among the parties relating

Section 13.14 Right of Setoff; Payments Pro Rata. (a) Subject to Section 9.01(a), if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the
obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Facility Document to such Lender or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or any other Facility Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or
obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the
Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their
respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount under this Agreement (whether by voluntary payments, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of
setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Facility Documents, or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Advances or fees, of a sum which with
respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately
prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations to such other Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional
participation by all of the Lenders in such disproportionate sum received; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored
to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

nominal date of any such date of prepayment or Final Maturity Date, as the case may be, and interest shall accrue on such payment for the period from and after any such nominal date to but excluding such next succeeding Business Day.

the benefit of the Secured Parties) and, in respect of clauses (c) and (d) below only, the Servicer that, for so long as any Advance remains outstanding:
(a) it will retain, as originator (in accordance with its representation made in Section 4.03(o)), on an ongoing basis, a material net economic interest in the form specified in paragraph

Basis Amount (such net economic interest being the “Retention”);

believes that the entity which was, directly or indirectly, involved in the original agreement which created the Collateral Loan applied sound and well-defined credit granting criteria to the origination of the Collateral Loan, and that it
maintained clearly established processes for approving, amending, modifying, renewing and financing the Collateral Loan and had effective systems in place to apply those criteria and processes to ensure that the Collateral Loan was granted and
approved based on a thorough assessment of the relevant Obligor’s creditworthiness; and (B) it and the Borrower have, and reasonably expect to maintain, clearly established criteria and processes for originating, amending, modifying, renewing and
financing the Collateral Loans (the “Collateral Loan Originations and Revisions”) and have effective systems in place to apply those criteria and processes to ensure that Collateral Loan Originations and Revisions are granted and approved

determined under the Securitisation Regulation) (each, a "Relevant Recipient") the documents, reports, templates and information necessary to fulfill any applicable reporting obligations under the Transparency and Reporting Requirements,
including but not limited to, the Transparency Reports. The Borrower shall also determine (which determination may be made in consultation with the Servicer) whether any reports, data and other information is necessary or essential in connection
with the preparation of any Loan Reports and Investor Reports (such reports, collectively, the "Transparency Reports") and, where applicable from time to time, any reports in respect of significant events (such reports, data or other
information necessary or essential in connection therewith, the "Required Information"). The Borrower hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its Reporting Agent (the "Initial Reporting Agent") to compile the Transparency Reports and

the terms hereof, each Facility Document or any other applicable appointment agreement (the "Transparency and Reporting Services") or (ii) there occurs a material disruption to, or cessation of, the Transparency and Reporting Services, to,
but excluding, the day 90 consecutive calendar days thereafter; provided that if such Transparency and Reporting Services are reinstated, the Transparency Report Unavailability Period shall terminate (the "Transparency Report Unavailability

Borrower’s possession or (B) if the Required Information is not in the Borrower’s possession, the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) being reasonably able to obtain such documents, reports or information that is not subject to
legal or contractual restrictions on its disclosures (unless the relevant information can be summarized or disclosed in anonymized form, in accordance with such legal or contractual restrictions on disclosure) without either the Borrower or the
Servicer incurring in excess of $20,000 in aggregate additional out-of-pocket expenses (any such amount, a "Material Expense"); provided that if obtaining such documents, reports or information under clause (B) above would involve the
Borrower (or the Servicer acting on behalf of the Borrower) incurring a Material Expense, to the extent that the requesting EU Lender (or the Administrative Agent on its behalf) has confirmed in writing that upon delivery of the Required
Information, it shall pay to the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, an amount equal to such Material Expense, then the Borrower (or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) shall obtain the same.
(e) The Servicer and the Borrower (with the consent of the Servicer) shall be entitled to appoint additional agents (including, without limitation, any additional Reporting Agents) to assist
them with providing such data to any Reporting Agent appointed by it; provided that prior written notice of such appointment is given to the parties hereto. In addition, the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall provide any necessary

information, document or data, or its sufficiency for any purpose (including without limitation for purposes of, or for compliance with, the Transparency and Reporting Requirements). The Initial Reporting Agent shall not be liable, and have no
responsibility, for any failure to complete the Transparency Reports, the non-publication or late publication of the Transparency Reports or any errors in the Transparency Reports to the extent such failure, delay or error results from incomplete
or incorrect data or any delay in data being provided to the Initial Reporting Agent from the Borrower, the Servicer, or any of their agents (including Findox) or data not being provided in the format agreed with the Initial Reporting Agent.

providers) selected by it with reasonable care other than any Affiliates of the Initial Reporting Agent.

will make available via the Reporting Website (or by such other method of dissemination as is required or permitted by the Securitisation Regulation (as instructed by the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) and as agreed with the Initial
Reporting Agent)) to any person who provides a Website Certification to the Initial Reporting Agent that it is a Relevant Recipient, any event-based disclosure reporting as required by Article 7(1)(g) of the Securitisation Regulation as provided

prior to the date on which the Borrower requires such documentation to be made available on the Reporting Website. The Borrower confirms that it will be solely responsible (in consultation with the Servicer) for handling and responding to any
queries raised by potential Lenders or competent authorities (as determined under the Securitisation Regulation) having access to the documentation on the Reporting Website and agrees that the Initial Reporting Agent shall have no responsibility
for dealing with any such queries, provided that if the Initial Reporting Agent receives any queries it will use commercially reasonable efforts to forward such queries to the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf).
(l) Subject to receipt of a certification in the form of a Website Certification from each relevant person to whom information, reports and documentation is provided pursuant to this
Agreement, the Initial Reporting Agent shall not assume or have any responsibility or liability for monitoring or ascertaining whether any person to whom it makes the information and/or reports and/or documentation available on the Reporting
Website or by such other method of dissemination as is required or permitted by the Securitisation Regulation (as instructed by the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) and as agreed with the Initial Reporting Agent) falls within the category
of persons permitted or required to receive such information, reports or documentation under the Transparency and Reporting Requirements.
(m) The Initial Reporting Agent will not assume any responsibility for the Borrower’s or any other Person’s obligations as the entity responsible to fulfil the reporting or other obligations
under the Transparency and Reporting Requirements. In providing such information and reporting, the Initial Reporting Agent also assumes no responsibility or liability to any third party, including any Lender and any prospective Lender (including
for their use or onward disclosure of any such information, report or documentation), shall not be responsible for monitoring the Borrower’s or any other person’s compliance with the Transparency and Reporting Requirements and shall have the
benefit of the powers, protections and indemnities granted to it under the Facility Documents.

grounds to believe (following consultation with the Initial Reporting Agent) that the Initial Reporting Agent will fail or be unable to perform any of its duties or responsibilities under this Agreement insofar as they relate to the reporting
requirements set out in the Transparency and Reporting Requirements (and any notice given in respect of this clause (i) shall include a description of the Borrower’s grounds for such belief); (ii) following the occurrence of a default, failure or
inability of the Initial Reporting Agent to perform any of its duties or responsibilities under this Agreement insofar as they relate to the reporting requirements set out in the Transparency and Reporting Requirements which has not been cured
within five days of the occurrence of such default, failure or inability to perform; or (iii) when the Initial Reporting Agent (in its sole discretion) determines it will no longer provide reports or information in connection with the Transparency
and Reporting Requirements, assume itself or appoint another third party to assume the obligations of the Initial Reporting Agent to make the relevant information available for the purposes of the Transparency and Reporting Requirements.
(o) The Initial Reporting Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any Website Certification provided by a relevant person pursuant to this Agreement which it reasonably believes to
be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person (which may be made electronically) and shall be entitled to assume that such persons are the persons to whom the information, reports and documentation should be made available on the
Reporting Website and shall not be liable to anyone whatsoever for so relying, assuming or doing.
(p) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that information, reports and documents posted on the Reporting Website shall be downloadable by any person with access to
the Reporting Website, including any potential Lender. Any reports, information or documentation uploaded to the Reporting Website may include disclaimers excluding the liability of the Initial Reporting Agent for the information provided therein.

case that the Initial Reporting Agent has not acted grossly negligently or with wilful misconduct, the Initial Reporting Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any instructions given or any determinations made by (and any determination

entitled to resign from its obligations to prepare the Transparency Reports provided that any such resignation or termination of appointment of the Initial Reporting Agent shall be only in respect of the Initial Reporting Agent’s obligations to
provide the Transparency Reports under this Agreement and shall be without prejudice to the Initial Reporting Agent’s other obligations under the Facility Documents (in its capacity as Collateral Agent or otherwise) which shall not be affected by
any such resignation or termination. No termination of the appointment of the Initial Reporting Agent to prepare the Transparency Reports shall be effective until the date on which a successor Initial Reporting Agent reasonably acceptable to the

Transparency Reports. If a successor Reporting Agent does not take office within 90 days after notice of the resignation or termination is provided, the Initial Reporting Agent, the Borrower, or the Servicer may petition a court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Reporting Agent.
