ARTICLE III
ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE ADVANCES
SECTION 1.01.The Advances.
(a)Making the Advances. If the Lenders are required to make an Advance to the Company as provided in Section 2.03, then each Lender shall make such Advance in the applicable Eligible Currency on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collateral Agent for deposit to the USD Principal Collection Account or the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency Account. Each Lender at its option may make any Advance by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advance; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Company to repay such Advance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may borrow and prepay Advances. The Company may, during the Reinvestment Period, repay and reborrow Advances in an amount up to the aggregate unused Financing Commitments of the Lenders on such date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, once prepaid, Advances may not be reborrowed.
(b)Interest on the Advances. Subject to Section 3.01(h) and Section 3.02, all outstanding Advances (other than Base Rate Advances) shall bear interest (from and including the date on which such Advance is made to and including the date on which such Advance is repaid) on each day during the term of this Agreement at a per annum rate equal to the applicable Reference Rate for each Calculation Period in effect plus the Facility Applicable Margin for Advances applicable to such Advance on each such date, as further set forth in the immediately succeeding three sentences; provided that, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, at the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, all outstanding Advances and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest (from and including the date of such Event of Default to and including the applicable date on which such Advance is repaid or such Event of Default is no longer continuing) at a per annum rate equal to the applicable Reference Rate for each Calculation Period in effect plus the Adjusted Facility Margin; provided further that, for purposes of this Section 3.01(b), (x) if the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances at any time is less than the Minimum Funding Amount, the

    - 42 -
amount of outstanding Advances at such time shall be deemed to equal the Minimum Funding Amount and (y) the interest rate in respect of such deficit shall be deemed to be the Facility Applicable Margin. The Facility Applicable Margin applicable to any Advance shall initially be determined on the date of such Advance and such Facility Applicable Margin shall be applicable until the next succeeding Calculation Period Start Date. The Facility Applicable Margin applicable to all Advances that are outstanding on a Calculation Period Start Date shall be determined on such Calculation Period Start Date for each day during the related Calculation Period. For purposes of the foregoing, Daily Simple XXXXX shall be the weighted average of such Reference Rate as determined on each day from and including the Interest Payment Date for the immediately preceding Calculation Period (or, in the case of the Interest Payment Date for the first Calculation Period, the date of this Agreement) to but excluding such Interest Payment Date.
(c)Evidence of the Advances. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Company to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder and the Eligible Currency thereof. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a register (the "Register") in which it shall record (1) the amount and Eligible Currency of each Advance made hereunder, (2) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Lender hereunder and (3) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof. The entries made in the Register maintained pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such Register or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Any Lender may request that Advances made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if a registered note is requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
(d)Pro Rata Treatment. Except as otherwise provided herein, all borrowings of, and payments in respect of, the Advances shall be made on a pro rata basis by or to the Lenders in accordance with their respective portions of the Financing Commitments in respect of Advances held by them.
(e)Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company that the adoption of any law, rule or regulation, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for a Lender or the Administrative Agent to perform its obligations hereunder to fund or maintain Advances hereunder in the applicable Currency, then (1) the obligation of such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder to fund or maintain Advances in such Currency shall immediately be suspended until such time as such Lender or the Administrative Agent determines (in its sole discretion) that such performance is again lawful, (2) any such Lender shall comply with the requirements of Section 3.04, and (3) if such Lender or the Administrative Agent is unable to effect a transfer under clause (2), then any outstanding Advances of such Lender shall be promptly paid in full by the Company (together with all accrued interest and other amounts owing hereunder) but not later than the earlier of (x) if the Company requests such Lender or the Administrative Agent to take the actions set forth in clause (2) above, thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which such Lender or the Administrative Agent notifies the Company in writing that it is unable to transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement as specified in such clause (2) and (y) such date as shall be mandated by law; provided that, to the extent that any such adoption or change makes it unlawful for the Advances to bear interest by reference to any Reference Rate, then the foregoing clauses (1) through (3) shall not apply and the related Advances shall bear interest (from and after the Interest Payment Date occurring immediately

    - 43 -
after such adoption or change) at a per annum rate equal to the applicable Base Rate plus the Facility Applicable Margin; provided, further, that no breakage costs resulting from the repayment of Advances on a date other than an Interest Payment Date shall be payable in connection with a repayment of Advances in accordance with this Section 3.01(e).
(f)Increased Costs.
(i)If any Change in Law shall:
(A)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;
(B)impose on any Lender or the London interbank market or other applicable lending market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender; or
(C)subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (z) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Advance or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, upon written request by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Company will pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(ii)If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Advances made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand; provided that in no event shall any Lender be required to provide any information or documentation to the extent such Lender reasonably determines providing the same would constitute a breach by such Lender of confidentiality obligations), then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(iii)A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate, and the basis for such compensation of, such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the next Interest Payment Date after receipt thereof.
(iv)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the Administrative Agent's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or

    - 44 -
the Administrative Agent notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the Administrative Agent's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(v)Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agrees that it will comply with the requirements of Section 3.04 with respect to any increased amounts referred to in this Section 3.01(f).
(g)No Set-off or counterclaim. Subject to Section 3.03, all payments to be made hereunder by the Company in respect of the Advances shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that every such payment shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement.
(h)Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Calculation Period: (x)(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining any Reference Rate (including, without limitation, because such Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for deposits in the applicable Eligible Currency and such Calculation Period; or (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that any Reference Rate for such Calculation Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Advances (or its Advance) included in such Advance for such Calculation Period and (y) an alternative reference rate for such Reference Rate has not been selected in accordance with Section 3.02; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, if any Advance in the applicable Eligible Currency is requested, such Advance shall accrue interest at the applicable Base Rate plus the Facility Applicable Margin (or the Adjusted Facility Margin, as applicable).
SECTION 1.02.Reference Rate Replacement.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, if a Reference Rate Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Reference Rate Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Reference Rate, then (x) if a replacement Reference Rate is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of "Reference Rate Replacement" for such Reference Rate Replacement Date or in connection with an Early Opt-in Election, such Reference Rate Replacement will replace such Reference Rate for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of such Reference Rate setting and subsequent Reference Rate settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (y) if a Reference Rate Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of "Reference Rate Replacement" for such Reference Rate Replacement Date, such Reference Rate Replacement will replace such Reference Rate for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of any Reference Rate setting at or after 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Reference Rate Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Reference Rate Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders or (z) in connection with an Early Opt-in Election, such Reference Rate Replacement will replace such Reference Rate for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of such Reference Rate setting on the date specified in the notice of the Early Opt-in Election delivered in accordance with the definition of such term.
(b)    In connection with any replacement of a Reference Rate in accordance with this Section 3.02, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Servicer, will have the right to make Reference Rate Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Reference Rate

    - 45 -
Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.02 including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.02.
(d)    Upon the Company's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Reference Rate Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any request for the making of, conversion to or continuation of an Advance that bears interest at the applicable Reference Rate to be made, converted or continued during any Reference Rate Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Company will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance of or conversion to Base Rate Advances.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.02 or otherwise set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, if no alternative reference rate is adopted with respect to any applicable Reference Rate for Advances made in the related Eligible Currency within the later of (i) the date that is 30 days after notice from the Administrative Agent of a Reference Rate Transition Event and (ii) the applicable Reference Rate Replacement Date, the provisions of Section 3.01(h) shall apply.

All payments to be made hereunder by the Company in respect of the Advances shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law (including FATCA).

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Secured Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Secured Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender

    - 46 -

Any Secured Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.03(f) (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), an executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i)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 Credit Document, an executed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form 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 Credit Document, an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E or any applicable successor form 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;

    - 47 -
(ii)an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;
(iii)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a "10 percent shareholder" of the Company or the Servicer within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, and is not a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a "U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate") and (y) an executed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form; or
(iv)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;
(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(E)The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Company an electronic copy of an IRS Form W-9 or an applicable IRS Form W-8, as applicable, upon becoming a party under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent represents to the Company that it is a "qualified intermediary" and a "participating FFI" or "deemed-compliant FFI" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1 and that it will comply with its obligations to withhold under Section 1441 and FATCA.
(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such

    - 48 -
refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h)Survival. Each party's obligations under this Section 3.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Financing Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.
SECTION 1.04.Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.01(e) or (f), or requires the Company to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.03(c), then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to, as applicable, designate a different lending or issuing 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, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01(e), 3.01(f) or 3.03(c), as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender (other than Barclays and its Affiliates at any time when Barclays or any such Affiliate is the sole Lender) (i) requests compensation under Section 3.01(e) or (f), or if the Company is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender other than Barclays or an Affiliate thereof or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender other than Barclays or an Affiliate thereof pursuant to Section 3.03(c), (ii) defaults in its obligations to make Advances hereunder (including any Defaulting Lender), (iii) becomes subject to a Bail-In Action or (iv) is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in and the consents required by Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.01(e) or (f) or Section 3.03(c)) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Lender shall have received, as applicable, payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts), (ii) such assignment will result in a ratable reduction in the claim for compensation or payments under section 3.01(e) or (f) or Section 3.03(c), as applicable, (iii) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law and (iv) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. No prepayment fee that may otherwise be due hereunder shall be payable to such Lender in connection with any such assignment.

Proceeds denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency shall be deposited into the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency Account. To the extent Interest Proceeds are received other than by deposit into the USD Interest Collection Account or the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency Account, the Company shall cause all Interest Proceeds on the Portfolio Investments to be deposited in the USD Interest Collection Account or the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency Account, as applicable, or remitted to the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall credit (or cause to be credited) to the USD Interest Collection Account or the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency Account, as applicable, all Interest Proceeds received by it promptly upon receipt thereof in accordance with the written direction of the Servicer.

The Servicer shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent if the Servicer reasonably determines in good faith that any amounts in the USD Interest Collection Account, the GBP Interest Collection Account, the CAD Interest Collection Account or the Euro Interest Collection Account, as applicable, have been deposited in error or do not otherwise constitute Interest Proceeds (which notice shall include a certificate of an officer of the Servicer setting forth the basis for such determination), whereupon such amounts on deposit in such account may be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Company and with written confirmation from the Administrative Agent (or, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the direction of the Administrative Agent)) on the next succeeding Business Day and remitted to or at the direction of the Company.

    - 50 -
Principal Proceeds on deposit in the USD Principal Collection Account and the Permitted Non-USD Currency Accounts shall be withdrawn (at the written direction of the Company or the Servicer on its behalf (or, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent)) by the Collateral Agent and applied (i) to make payments in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) towards the purchase price of Portfolio Investments purchased in accordance with this Agreement or (in the case of the USD Principal Collection Account) to be deposited into the Unfunded Exposure Account or (iii) to make Permitted Distributions or Permitted RIC Distributions as permitted by this Agreement, in each case with prior notice to the Administrative Agent.
The Servicer shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent if the Servicer reasonably determines in good faith that any amounts in the USD Principal Collection Account, the GBP Principal Collection Account, the CAD Principal Collection Account or the Euro Principal Collection Account, as applicable, have been deposited in error or do not otherwise constitute Principal Proceeds (which notice shall include a certificate of an officer of the Servicer setting forth the basis for such determination), whereupon such amounts on deposit in such account shall be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Company and with written confirmation from the Administrative Agent (or, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the direction of the Administrative Agent)) on the next succeeding Business Day and remitted to or at the direction of the Company.
SECTION 1.03.Principal and Interest Payments; Prepayments; Commitment Fee.
(a)The Company shall pay the unpaid principal amount of the Advances (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender on the Maturity Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments and any and all cash in the Collateral Accounts shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations on the Maturity Date and on each Additional Distribution Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.
(b)Accrued and unpaid interest on the Advances shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, each Additional Distribution Date and on the Maturity Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to the first proviso to Section 3.01(b) shall be payable on demand and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Advances, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.
(c)Subject to the requirements of this Section 4.03(c), the Company shall have the right from time to time to use Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account to prepay outstanding Advances in whole or in part (i) on any Business Day in connection with a Borrowing Base Cure or otherwise (ii) on any other Business Day up to but not more than three (3) times during any Calculation Period; provided that, at the request of any Lender in respect of any prepayment on a date other than an Interest Payment Date, such Lender shall be entitled to any costs actually incurred by it in respect of the breakage of its funding at the applicable Reference Rate for the related Calculation Period. The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator by electronic mail of an executed notice in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a "Notice of Prepayment or Reduction") (attached as a .pdf or similar file) of any prepayment pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(ii) not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is five (5) Business Days immediately preceding the date of such prepayment (unless such requirement is waived in writing (including via email) by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, in which case, no later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such prepayment). Each Notice of Prepayment or Reduction shall be irrevocable (unless such notice conditions such prepayment upon consummation of a transaction which is contemplated to result in a prepayment of outstanding Advances, in which event such notice may be revocable or conditioned upon such consummation) and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of the Advances to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Except in connection with a Borrowing Base Cure, each partial prepayment of outstanding Advances shall be in an amount not less than U.S.$1,000,000 (or, if less, the aggregate outstanding amount of the Advances) unless otherwise waived by the Administrative Agent. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest. All voluntary prepayments of principal of the Advances shall be made on a first-in-first-out basis (for the

    - 51 -
avoidance of doubt, unless an Event of Default or Cash Sweep Event has occurred and is continuing, in which case all prepayment and repayments shall be made pro rata among the outstanding Advances).
(d)The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), a commitment fee in accordance with the Priority of Payments which shall accrue at the average daily Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily Commitment Fee Calculation Amount during the period from and including the date of this Agreement to but excluding the last day of the Reinvestment Period. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, and on the date on which the Financing Commitments terminate. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For the avoidance of doubt, no commitment fee shall accrue on the unused amount of any increase in the Financing Commitment resulting from a Commitment Increase Request until the related Commitment Increase Date.
(e)The Company agrees to pay the Administrative Agent on the date of this Agreement, for the account of each Lender, an upfront fee on the date hereof in an aggregate amount specified in the Effective Date Letter. Once paid, such fees or any part thereof shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
(f)If at any time during the Amortization Period the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances is less than 15% of the Financing Commitment as in effect on the last day of the Reinvestment Period, the Company shall, within 90 calendar days of such occurrence, prepay the outstanding Advances in whole, without premium or penalty, together with all other Secured Obligations outstanding at such time.
(g)Without limiting Section 4.03(c), the Company shall (1) prepay outstanding Advances in whole or in part on any date as set forth in Section 8.01(i) and (2) following the Reinvestment Period, on each Interest Payment Date repay outstanding Advances using the applicable Amortization Percentage of all available Principal Proceeds pursuant to the Priority of Payments. All such prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest.
SECTION 1.04.Cure Account.
(a)    The Company shall cause all cash received by it in connection with a Borrowing Base Cure pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of such term to be deposited in the Cure Account or remitted to the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall credit to the Cure Account such amounts received by it (and identified in writing as such) promptly upon receipt thereof. Prior to the Maturity Date, all cash amounts in the Cure Account may be invested in overnight Eligible Investments at the written direction of the Servicer. In the absence of any direction from the Servicer, amounts held in such accounts will remain uninvested. All amounts contributed to the Company by the Servicer in connection with a Borrowing Base Cure shall be paid free and clear of any right of chargeback or other equitable claim.
(b)    Amounts on deposit in the Cure Account may be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent (at the written direction of the Company or the Servicer on its behalf (or, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent)) and remitted to the Company with prior notice to the Administrative Agent (or, following the occurrence of an Event of Default and the declaration of the Advances then outstanding to be due and payable pursuant to Article VII, and at the written direction of the Administrative Agent, to the Lenders for prepayment of Advances and reduction of Financing Commitment); provided that the Company may not direct any withdrawal from the Cure Account if the Borrowing Base Test is not satisfied (or would not be satisfied after such withdrawal) or a Cash Sweep Event has occurred and is continuing (or would occur after such withdrawal).
SECTION 1.05.Priority of Payments. On (x) each Interest Payment Date, (y) the Maturity Date and (z) each Agent Business Day after the occurrence of (i) a Cash Sweep Event or (ii) an Event of Default and the declaration of the Secured Obligations as due and payable (each date set forth in clause (z) above, an "Additional Distribution Date"), the Collateral Agent shall distribute, in accordance

    - 52 -

(a)to pay (i) first, amounts due or payable to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Securities Intermediary hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including fees, out-of-pocket expenses and indemnities) up to a maximum amount, under this subclause (i) of U.S.$62,500 on each Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date and each Additional Distribution Date (in the case of any Additional Distribution Date or the Maturity Date, after giving effect to all payments of such amounts on any other Additional Distribution Date or Interest Payment Date occurring in the same Calculation Period); provided, that, if any such amount under this subclause (i) is not utilized during any Calculation Period then such unutilized amount may be applied during any of the three succeeding Calculation Periods, (ii) second, any other accrued and unpaid fees (other than the commitment fee payable to the Lenders, but, for the avoidance of doubt, including fees payable to the Administrative Agent) and out-of-pocket expenses, including indemnities due hereunder or under any other Credit Document or payable to any Governmental Authority in respect of Taxes payable by the Company or filing, registration or similar fees, up to a maximum amount under this clause (a) of U.S.$30,000 on each Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date and each Additional Distribution Date (in the case of any Additional Distribution Date or the Maturity Date, after giving effect to all payments of such amounts on any other Additional Distribution Date or Interest Payment Date occurring in the same Calculation Period) and (iii) third, to pay Servicer Expenses up to a maximum amount under this clause (iii) of U.S.$25,000 on each Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date and each Additional Distribution Date (in the case of any Additional Distribution Date or the Maturity Date, after giving effect to all payments of such amounts on any other Additional Distribution Date or Interest Payment Date occurring in the same Calculation Period); provided, that, if any such amount under this subclause (iii) is not utilized during any Calculation Period then such unutilized amount may be applied during any of the three succeeding Calculation Periods;
(b) to pay accrued and unpaid interest due in respect of the Advances and any increased costs and accrued and unpaid commitment fees payable to the Lenders (pro rata based on amounts due);

(j)(i) on any Interest Payment Date, to deposit any remaining amounts in the USD Principal Collection Account or the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency Account as Principal Proceeds (which, during the Reinvestment Period, may be applied to the acquisition of additional Portfolio Investments, subject to the applicable terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 1.03 and Section 4.02 hereof), (ii) on any Interest Payment Date, any remaining amounts in the USD Interest Collection Account or the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency Account as Interest Proceeds, to the Company (or its designee) and (iii) on the Maturity Date and any Additional Distribution Date, any remaining amounts to the Company (or its designee).
SECTION 1.06.Payments Generally. (a) All payments to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the account designated in writing to the Company and the Collateral Agent for further distribution by the Administrative Agent (if applicable). The Administrative Agent shall give written notice to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator (on which the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator may conclusively rely) and the Servicer of the calculation of amounts payable to the Lenders in respect of the Advances and the amounts payable to the Servicer. At least two (2) Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date, the Administrative Agent shall deliver an invoice to the Servicer, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator in respect of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date. All payments not made to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders shall be made as directed in writing by the Administrative Agent. Subject to Section 3.03 hereof, all payments by the Company hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim. All payments hereunder shall be made in USD other than payments of interest and principal made in respect of Advances denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency, which shall be made in the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency of such Advance. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (other than (i) interest calculated at the Base Rate, which shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365/366 days and (ii) interest calculated according to XXXXX, which shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Except as otherwise specified by the Company, all repayments or prepayments of principal of the Advances hereunder shall be deemed to repay the longest outstanding Advance (or the applicable portion thereof) denominated in the same currency as such prepayment on the date of such repayment or prepayment.
(b)    If, at least three (3) Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date and any Additional Distribution Date, the Collateral Administrator shall have notified the Company, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent that the Company does not have a sufficient amount of funds in a Permitted Non-USD Currency on deposit in the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency Accounts that will be needed to pay to the Lenders all of the amounts required to be paid in such Permitted Non-USD Currency on such date in accordance with the Priority of Payments in such Permitted Non-USD Currency as required for such payment (a "Currency Shortfall"), then, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall exchange (or the Servicer on its behalf shall direct the Collateral Agent to exchange) amounts in USD held in the USD Interest Collection Account or the USD Principal Collection Account, as applicable, for the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency in an amount necessary to cure such Currency Shortfall. Each such exchange shall occur no later than two Business Days prior to such Interest Payment Date, Additional Distribution Date or the Maturity Date, as applicable, and shall be made at the Spot Rate at the time of exchange. If for any reason the Company shall have failed to effect any such currency exchange by such Business Day, then the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to (but shall not be obligated to) direct such currency exchange on behalf of the Company.
(c)    At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion direct the Collateral Agent to exchange all amounts in each of the Permitted Non-USD Currency Accounts for USD at the applicable Spot Rate and deposit such converted amounts into the USD Interest Collection Account and the USD Principal Collection Account, as applicable.
SECTION 1.07.Termination or Reduction of Financing Commitments.

    - 54 -
(a)On any Business Day after the last day of the Non-Call Period, the Company shall be entitled at its option, subject to the payment of any applicable premium described in the immediately succeeding paragraph, and upon three (3) Business Days' prior delivery of a Notice of Prepayment or Reduction to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator) to either (i) terminate the Financing Commitments in whole upon payment in full of all Advances, all accrued and unpaid interest, all applicable premium (if any) and all other Secured Obligations (other than unmatured contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made) or (ii) terminate all or part of the portion of the Financing Commitments that exceeds the sum of the outstanding Advances (after giving effect to any concurrent repayment of the Advances on such date). Each such notice shall be irrevocable (unless such notice conditions such termination or reduction, as applicable, upon consummation of a transaction which is contemplated to result in a termination or reduction, as applicable, of the Financing Commitments, in which event such notice may be revocable or conditioned upon such consummation).
Subject to the Effective Date Letter, each commitment reduction (or termination) pursuant to Section 4.07(a) above that is made during the Premium Call Period (unless, for the avoidance of doubt, the Premium Call Period has ended as a result of a Premium Call Termination Date), whether in full or in part (or terminates the Financing Commitments in whole) shall be accompanied by a premium equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of such commitment reduction (or termination).
(b)The Financing Commitments shall be automatically and irrevocably reduced by all amounts that are used to prepay or repay Advances following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default;
(c)All unused Financing Commitments as of the last day of the Reinvestment Period shall automatically be terminated.
(d)The Financing Commitments shall be irrevocably reduced by the amount of any repayment or prepayment of Advances following the last day of the Reinvestment Period.
(e)Any prepayment of the Advances following the acceleration of the Advances pursuant to Article VII during the Non-Call Period shall be accompanied by a make-whole premium equal to the sum of the present value at such prepayment date (the “Trigger Date”) of all required interest payments due on such Advances to and including the third anniversary of the Effective Date, computed upon the Trigger Date using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate at such Trigger Date plus 50 basis points and assuming that the rate of interest on the principal amount of the Advances from such Trigger Date to the third anniversary of the Effective Date will equal the Adjusted Facility Margin in effect on the Trigger Date.
(f)Any amounts payable in accordance with this Section 4.07 in connection with any acceleration of the Advances shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages sustained by the Lenders as the result of the acceleration of the Advances, and the Company agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Company expressly agrees that (i) the premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and the Company giving specific consideration in the transaction for such agreement to pay the premium, (iv) the Company shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 4.07, (v) the agreement to pay the premium is a material inducement to the Lenders to make the Advances, and (vi) the premium represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of such acceleration of the Advances. THE PREMIUM IS DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND THE PARTIES HERETO EACH ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE AND THAT THE SETTLEMENT AMOUNT IS INTENDED TO BE A REASONABLE APPROXIMATION OF THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOT A PENALTY.

Each Recipient hereby agrees that it shall not assert and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, permitted by applicable law, hereby waives, any right to retain such Payment, and any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment or similar right to any demand by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for the return of any Payment received, including without limitation any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence to the extent such Indemnified Person incurs such Liabilities from a third party, in no event shall the Servicer be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if the Servicer has been advised of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Servicer be liable for any Liabilities arising solely from the performance or non-performance of the Portfolio Investments (including Liabilities that represent losses from Portfolio Investments due to the related obligor's financial inability to pay).

ARTICLE VIII
COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS; COLLATERAL SECURITY
SECTION 1.01.The Collateral Accounts; Agreement as to Control.
(a)Establishment and Maintenance of Collateral Accounts. The Company hereby appoints the Securities Intermediary and has directed the establishment of, and the Securities Intermediary hereby acknowledges that it has established, each of the Custodial Account, the USD Principal Collection Account, the USD Interest Collection Account, the Cure Account and the Unfunded Exposure Account (such accounts collectively, the "USD Collateral Accounts") and the Permitted Non-USD Currency Accounts. The USD Collateral Accounts and the Permitted Non-USD Currency Accounts are referred to herein collectively as the "Collateral Accounts". Each Collateral Account shall be comprised of a securities account and a related deposit account, as provided hereinafter and in the Account Agreement.
The Securities Intermediary agrees (x) to maintain each of the Collateral Accounts that is a securities account as a "securities intermediary" (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(14) of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York (the "UCC") and an "intermediary" within the meaning of Article 1(1)(c) of the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an Intermediary (the "Hague Securities Convention")), in the name of the Company subject to the lien of the Collateral Agent and (y) not to change the name or account number of any Collateral Account without the prior consent of the Collateral Agent. The Securities Intermediary hereby certifies that it is a bank or trust company that in the ordinary course of business maintains securities accounts for others and in that capacity has established the Collateral Accounts in the name of the Company. The Securities Intermediary holds all money in the Permitted Non-USD Currency

    - 69 -
Accounts as a securities intermediary and not as trustee or fiduciary and as a result such money will not be held as client money in accordance with applicable local law.
(b)Collateral Agent in Control of Collateral Accounts. This Agreement is intended by the Company and the Collateral Agent to grant "control" of the Collateral Accounts and possession of other Collateral to the Collateral Agent for purposes of perfection of the Collateral Agent's security interest in the Collateral Account and other Collateral pursuant to Article 8 and Article 9 of the UCC. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (1) each Collateral Account shall be comprised of (x) a "securities account" (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC and Article 1(1)(b) of the Hague Securities Convention) in respect of which the Securities Intermediary is a “securities intermediary” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC) and (y) a related “deposit account” (within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC) in respect of which the Securities Intermediary is a “bank” (within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC), (2) all property other than cash credited to any Collateral Account shall be credited to the securities account thereof and treated as a "financial asset" within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC and all cash credited to any Collateral Account shall be credited to the related deposit account thereof (3) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent will be exclusively entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each financial asset credited to each Collateral Account. The only permitted withdrawals from the Collateral Accounts shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any term to the contrary, it is hereby expressly acknowledged that interests in bank loans or participations (collectively “Loan Assets”) may be acquired by the Company from time to time which are not evidenced or accompanied by delivery of a security (as defined in UCC Section 8-102) or an instrument (as defined in Section 9¬102(a)(47) of the UCC), and may be evidenced solely by delivery to the Securities Intermediary of a facsimile or electronic copy of an assignment agreement (“Loan Assignment Agreement”) in favor of the Company, as applicable, as assignee, that any such Loan Assignment Agreement (and the registration of the related Loan Assets on the books and records of the applicable obligor or bank agent) shall be registered in the name of the Company; and that if and to the extent such Loan Assets are credited to any Account described herein, any duty on the part of the Securities Intermediary to maintain such a financial asset shall be limited to the exercise of reasonable care by the Securities Intermediary in the physical custody of any such Loan Assignment Agreement that may be delivered to it. The Securities Intermediary is not under a duty to examine underlying credit agreements or loan documents to determine the validity or sufficiency of any Loan Assignment Agreement or Company's title to the related Loan Asset, and nothing herein shall be construed to require the Securities Intermediary to treat as a financial asset any asset in the nature of a general intangible (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(42) of the UCC) or to “maintain” a sufficient quantity thereof.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) ("Entitlement Orders") or other orders or instructions originated by the Company (or the Servicer on its behalf) with respect to the Collateral Accounts or the financial assets or cash credited thereto without further consent by the Collateral Agent. Upon receipt by the Securities Intermediary of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with any Entitlement Order or other direction or instruction from the Collateral Agent (acting solely at the written direction of the Administrative Agent) relating to any Collateral Account or the financial assets or cash credited thereto without further consent by the Company, the Servicer or any other Person. In the event that any Entitlement Order or other order or instruction from the Collateral Agent conflicts with an Entitlement Order or other order or instruction from the Company (or the Servicer on its behalf), the Entitlement Order or other order or instruction from Collateral Agent shall govern. If at any time the Collateral Agent (acting solely at the written direction of the Administrative Agent) notifies the Securities Intermediary that the Collateral Agent will exercise exclusive control over the Collateral Accounts (a "Notice of Exclusive Control"), the Securities Intermediary will cease complying with Entitlement Orders or other directions or instructions concerning the Collateral Accounts and the financial assets and cash credited thereto originated by or on behalf of the Company (or the Servicer on its behalf) until such time, if any, as such Notice of Exclusive Control is rescinded in writing by the Collateral Agent (acting solely at the written direction of the Administrative Agent). Solely as between the Collateral Agent and the Company, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not deliver a Notice of Exclusive Control (or otherwise provide an Entitlement Order or other direction or

    - 70 -
instruction) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and it has received written instruction from the Administrative Agent with respect thereto.
(c)Subordination of Lien, Etc. If the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Collateral Account or any security entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The property credited to any Collateral Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker's lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the Collateral Agent (except that the Securities Intermediary may set-off (1) all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Collateral Accounts, and (2) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to any Collateral Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).
(d)Property Registered, Indorsed, etc. to Securities Intermediary; Reports. All securities or other property represented by a promissory note or an instrument underlying any financial assets credited to any Collateral Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary, and in no case will any financial asset credited to any Collateral Account be registered in the name of the Company, payable to the Company or specially indorsed to the Company except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank. The Collateral Administrator shall promptly deliver copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Collateral Accounts and/or any financial assets credited thereto simultaneously to each of the Company, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent at the address for each set forth in this Agreement. In the event the Securities Intermediary receives instructions to effect a securities transaction as contemplated in 12 CFR 12.1, the Company acknowledges that, upon its written request and at no additional cost, it has the right to receive the notification from the Securities Intermediary after the completion of such transaction as contemplated in 12 CFR 12.4(a) or (b). The Company agrees that, absent specific request, such notifications shall not be provided by the Securities Intermediary hereunder, and in lieu of such notifications, the Collateral Administrator shall make available the statements in the manner required by the Credit Documents.
(e)Jurisdiction; Governing Law of Collateral Accounts. The establishment and maintenance of each Collateral Account and all interests, duties and obligations related thereto shall be governed by the law of the State of New York and the "securities intermediary's jurisdiction" (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) shall be the State of New York. To the extent that any Collateral Account (into which cash is credited as set forth herein) is characterized as a "deposit account" (within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC), New York shall be deemed to be the "bank's jurisdiction" (within the meaning of Section 9-304(b) of the UCC) and all references herein to State Street Bank and Trust Company, as securities intermediary shall be deemed to refer to State Street Bank and Trust Company as a deposit bank and all references herein to the Securities Intermediary complying with Entitlement Orders shall be deemed to refer to the deposit bank complying with instructions with respect to the disposition of funds credited to a Collateral Account. The parties further agree that the law applicable to all the issues in Article 2(1) of The Hague Securities Convention shall be the law of the State of New York. The Company and the Securities Intermediary agree that each and every Account Agreement is hereby amended to provide that with respect to the Collateral Accounts, the law applicable to all issues specified in Article 2(1) of the Hague Securities Convention shall be the laws of the State of New York.  The Company and the Securities Intermediary covenant that no amendment with respect to any Account Agreement shall be entered into that would have the effect of changing the parties' choice of law set forth in the previous sentence without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.
(f)No Duties. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Securities Intermediary shall not have any additional duties under this Agreement other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and the Securities Intermediary shall satisfy those duties expressly set forth in this Agreement so long as it acts without fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. In particular (without implied limitation), the Securities Intermediary need not investigate whether the Collateral Agent is entitled under this Agreement, or otherwise, to give any Entitlement Order, Notice of Exclusive Control or any other directions, instructions or other orders in any instance. Without limiting the generality of the

    - 71 -
foregoing, the Securities Intermediary shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, and the Securities Intermediary shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.
(g)Investment of Funds on Deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account. All amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account shall be invested (and reinvested) at the written direction of the Company (or the Servicer on its behalf) delivered to the Collateral Agent in Eligible Investments; provided that, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account shall be invested, reinvested and otherwise disposed of at the written direction of the Administrative Agent delivered to the Collateral Agent. If no direction is delivered to the Collateral Agent, amounts in the Unfunded Exposure Account will remain uninvested.
(h)Account Agreement. At the time of its entry into the governing law provisions of any agreement between the Company and the Securities Intermediary governing the Collateral Accounts (each such agreement, including this Agreement, an "Account Agreement") that are currently in force and at each time of any later amendment to any Account Agreement that reaffirmed such governing law provisions, the Securities Intermediary had an office located in the United States of America that was not a temporary office and that engaged in a business or other regular activity of maintaining securities accounts within the meaning of Article 4(1)(a) of the Hague Securities Convention.
(i)Unfunded Exposure Account
(i)Amounts may be deposited into the Unfunded Exposure Account and/or deposited into the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency Accounts as Unfunded Exposure Allocated Amounts from time to time in accordance with Section 4.05. Amounts shall also be deposited into the Unfunded Exposure Account and/or deposited into the applicable Permitted Non-USD Currency Accounts as Unfunded Exposure Allocated Amounts as set forth in Section 2.03(f).
(ii)    Unless the Advances then outstanding have become due and payable pursuant to Article VII, the Servicer may direct, by means of an instruction in writing to the Securities Intermediary (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator), the release of funds on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account and/or Unfunded Exposure Allocated Amounts (i) for the purpose of funding the Company's unfunded commitments with respect to Delayed Funding Term Loans and Revolving Loans and (ii) for deposit into the applicable Collateral Account. Following the Advances then outstanding becoming due and payable pursuant to Article VII, at the written direction of the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator), the Securities Intermediary shall transfer all amounts in the Unfunded Exposure Account and/or Unfunded Exposure Allocated Amounts to the applicable Collateral Account to be applied pursuant to Section 4.05. Upon the direction of the Company by means of an instruction in writing to the Securities Intermediary (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent), any amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account and/or Unfunded Exposure Allocated Amounts in excess of outstanding funding obligations of the Company shall be released to the applicable Collateral Account to prepay the outstanding Advances.
SECTION 1.02.Collateral Security; Pledge; Delivery.
(a)Grant of Security Interest. As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all the Company's obligations to the Agents, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator and the Lenders (each, a "Secured Party" and, collectively, the "Secured Parties") under this Agreement (collectively, the "Secured Obligations"), the Company hereby pledges to the Collateral Agent and grants a continuing security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent in all of the Company's right, title and interest in, to and under (in each case, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising) all accounts, payment intangibles, general intangibles, chattel paper, electronic chattel paper, instruments, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, investment property, and any and all other property of any type or nature owned by it (in each case excluding the Excluded Amounts) (all of the

    - 72 -
property described in this clause (a) being collectively referred to herein as "Collateral"), including, without limitation: (1) each Portfolio Investment, (2) all of the Company's interests in the Collateral Accounts and all investments, obligations and other property from time to time credited thereto, (3) the Sale Agreement, any other Credit Document and all rights related to each such agreement (4) all other property of the Company and (5) all proceeds thereof, all accessions to and substitutions and replacements for, any of the foregoing, and all rents, profits and products of any thereof.
(b)Delivery and Other Perfection. In furtherance of the collateral arrangements contemplated herein, the Company shall (1) Deliver to the Collateral Agent the Collateral hereunder as and when acquired by the Company and (2) if any of the securities, monies or other property pledged by the Company hereunder are received by the Company, forthwith take such action as is necessary to ensure the Collateral Agent's continuing perfected security interest in such Collateral (including Delivering such securities, monies or other property to the Collateral Agent).
(c)Remedies, Etc. Following the Secured Obligations then outstanding becoming due and payable in full pursuant to Article VII, the Collateral Agent shall (but only if and to the extent directed in writing by the Administrative Agent) do any of the following:
(i)Exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent's or its designee's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent or a designee of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) may deem commercially reasonable. The Company agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) calendar days' prior notice to the Company of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent or its designee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned;
(ii)Transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Collateral Agent or a nominee thereof;
(iii)Enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with respect thereto;
(iv)Endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in the Company's name to allow collection of the Collateral;
(v)Take control of any proceeds of the Collateral;
(vi)Execute (in the name, place and stead of any of the Company) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral; and/or

After the termination of the Financing Commitments in full and the payment in full in cash of all Secured Obligations, any remaining proceeds of any sale or transfer of the Collateral shall be delivered to the Company.

    - 73 -
(d)Compliance with Restrictions. The Company and the Servicer agree that in any sale of any of the Collateral following the Secured Obligations then outstanding becoming due and payable in full pursuant to Article VII, the Collateral Agent or its designee are hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel in writing is necessary in order to avoid any violation of Applicable Law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental regulatory authority or official, and the Company and the Servicer further agree that such compliance shall not, in and of itself, result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Collateral Agent be liable or accountable to the Company or the Servicer for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in good faith compliance with any such limitation or restriction.
(e)Private Sale. The Collateral Agent shall incur no liability as a result of a sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to clause (c) above conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. The Company and the Servicer hereby waive any claims against each Agent and Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale.
(f)Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Company hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as the Company's attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of the Company by this appointment), with full authority in the place and stead of the Company and in the name of the Company, from time to time in the Collateral Agent's discretion (exercised at the written direction of the Administrative Agent), after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. The Company hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant to this clause is irrevocable during the term of this Agreement and is coupled with an interest.
(g)Further Assurances. The Company covenants and agrees that, from time to time upon the request of the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent), the Company will execute and deliver such further documents, and do such other acts and things as the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent) may request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement and to protect and preserve the priority and validity of the security interest granted hereunder or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral; provided that no such document may alter the rights and protections afforded to the Company or the Servicer herein.
(h)Release of Security Interest upon Disposition of Collateral. Upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral (or portion thereof) that is permitted hereunder, the security interest granted hereunder in such Portfolio Investment or other Collateral (or the portion thereof which has been sold or otherwise disposed of) shall, immediately upon the sale or other disposition of such Portfolio Investment or other Collateral (or such portion) shall automatically (and without any further action by any party), be released and revert to the Company. Upon any such release, the Collateral Agent will, at the Company's sole expense and without the consent or approval of any other party, deliver to the Company, or cause the Securities Intermediary to deliver, without any representations, warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing all of the Collateral held by the Securities Intermediary hereunder or, if such item is a Clearing Corporation Security, cause an appropriate transfer thereof to be made, and execute and deliver to the Company or its nominee such documents as the Company shall reasonably request to evidence such release.
(i)Termination. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent and unasserted indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations) and termination of the Financing Commitments, the security interest granted herein shall automatically (and without further

    - 74 -
action by any party) terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Company. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent will, at the Company's sole expense and without the consent or approval of any other party, deliver to the Company, or cause the Securities Intermediary to deliver, without any representations, warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, all certificates and instruments representing or evidencing all of the Collateral held by the Securities Intermediary hereunder or, if such item is a Clearing Corporation Security, cause an appropriate transfer thereof to be made, and execute and deliver to the Company or its nominee such documents as the Company shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
(j)Asset Checklist; Escrowed Transfer Documents and Administrative Agent Cooperation Agreements. For each applicable Portfolio Investment, promptly following a request therefor from the Administrative Agent and, in any case, on or prior to the Settlement Date therefor, the Company shall deliver to the Collateral Agent (if in physical form) or the Collateral Administrator (if in electronic form), copies of an Asset Checklist and, if applicable, any Administrative Agent Cooperation Agreement for such Portfolio Investment.
If the consent or signature of or other action (including, without limitation, registering the assignee in any register of lenders maintained by it) by the Company or any affiliate of the Company (in each case whether as administrative agent, servicer, registrar or in any other capacity) is or could be required for the transfer of all or any portion of a Portfolio Investment by the Company, the Administrative Agent may require the Company or such Affiliate to provide assurances to the Administrative Agent (which may be in the form of an Administrative Agent Cooperation Agreement) that the Company or such Affiliate will not, in its capacity as administrative agent, servicer, registrar or in any other such capacity, unreasonably withhold or delay any such consent, signature or other action.
With respect to original Escrowed Transfer Documents, the Collateral Agent shall at all times hold such Escrowed Transfer Documents delivered to it (and, without duplication, Underlying Instruments in respect of Portfolio Investments provided to it by or at the request of the Administrative Agent) at one of its offices in the United States (for purposes hereof, the "Custodial Office"). The Collateral Agent may change the Custodial Office at any time and from time to time upon notice to the Company, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent; provided that the replacement Custodial Office shall be an office of the Collateral Agent located in the United States. All original Escrowed Transfer Documents and Underlying Instruments held by the Collateral Agent shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders upon prior written request and during normal business hours of the Collateral Agent. Any such inspection shall occur no earlier than five Business Days after such inspection is requested in writing and the costs of such inspection shall be borne by the requesting party. The Administrative Agent (including its representatives and designees) may not request more than two inspections per year or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing no more than once a month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to hold or accept custody of any original Escrowed Transfer Documents or Underlying Instruments hereunder to the extent such document is of a type not approved for deposit into the custodial vault of the Collateral Agent; provided that (1) the Collateral Agent notifies the Administrative Agent prior to refusing to hold such documents and (2) the failure of the Collateral Agent to accept and hold such documents shall not result in a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the Company hereunder (provided that copies of such documents shall have been delivered by the Company to or otherwise made available to the Administrative Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to review or provide any certifications in respect of original Escrowed Transfer Documents or Underlying Instruments delivered and held by it.
In taking and retaining custody of any such original Escrowed Transfer Documents, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be acting as the agent of the Secured Parties; provided that (x) in the taking and retaining custody of any such Escrowed Transfer Documents, the Collateral Agent makes no representations as to the existence, perfection, enforceability or priority of any Lien on such Escrowed Transfer Documents or as to the adequacy or sufficiency of such Escrowed Transfer Documents; and (y) in the taking and retaining custody of any such Escrowed Transfer Documents, the Collateral Agent's duties shall be limited to those expressly contemplated herein.

    - 75 -
Except as otherwise expressly provided above in this clause (j), original Escrowed Transfer Documents and original Underlying Instruments shall be released by the Collateral Agent only in connection with sales of Portfolio Investments pursuant to the exercise of remedies under the Credit Documents or as otherwise expressly permitted hereunder, and in each case only upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of a request for release from the Administrative Agent and which request for release shall be deemed a certification that such conditions for release have been satisfied. Upon receipt of such direction, the Collateral Agent shall release the original Escrowed Transfer Documents to the Administrative Agent (or as otherwise provided in the related release request), and the Administrative Agent will not be required to return the related original Escrowed Transfer Documents to the Collateral Agent. Written instructions as to the method of shipment and shipper(s) the Collateral Agent is directed to utilize in connection with the transmission of original Escrowed Transfer Documents in the performance of the Collateral Agent's duties under this clause (j) shall be delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Collateral Agent prior to any shipment of any original Escrowed Transfer Documents hereunder. If the Collateral Agent does not receive such written instruction from the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent shall be authorized and indemnified as provided herein to utilize a nationally recognized courier service. The Administrative Agent shall arrange for the provision of such services at the sole cost and expense of the Company and shall maintain such insurance against loss or damage to the original Escrowed Transfer Documents as the Administrative Agent deem appropriate.
Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Administrator shall have any obligation to review or verify whether the Company or the Servicer on its behalf has obtained and delivered the necessary Escrowed Transfer Documents, the Administrative Agent Cooperation Agreements or Underlying Instruments required for purchases of Portfolio Investments hereunder.
ARTICLE IX
THE AGENTS
SECTION 1.01.Appointment of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (each, an "Agent" and collectively, the "Agents") as its agent and authorizes such Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Agent and each Lender hereby agree that no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Collateral shall be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties at the direction of the Administrative Agent.
Each financial institution serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender (if applicable) as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such financial institution and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as if it were not an Agent hereunder.
No Agent or the Collateral Administrator shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except that the foregoing shall not limit any duty of such Agent expressly set forth in this Agreement to include such rights and powers or that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by (i) in the case of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or (ii) in the case of any Agent, the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided herein), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company that is communicated to or obtained by the financial institution serving in the capacity of such Agent (except insofar as provided to it as Agent hereunder) or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct or with the consent or at the request or direction of the Administrative Agent (in the case of the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Agent only) or the Required Lenders

    - 76 -
(or such other number or percentage of Lenders that shall be permitted herein to direct such action or forbearance). The Securities Intermediary shall not be liable for any action taken pursuant to any Entitlement Order provided by the Company, the Servicer, or the Collateral Agent absent its gross negligence or willful misconduct. None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until a Responsible Officer has received written notice thereof from the Company, a Lender or the Administrative Agent. None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Credit Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, value or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other agreement, instrument or document or the Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent shall be required to risk or expend its own funds in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder if it reasonably believes it will not receive reimbursement therefor hereunder. Without limitation to the immediately preceding sentence, none of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary nor the Administrative Agent shall be required to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document if taking such action (A) would subject such Person to Tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to Tax, or (B) would require such person to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified.
Each Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, direction, opinion, order, judgment, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent and the Collateral Administrator also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent and the Collateral Administrator may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it in good faith, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
In the event the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator shall receive conflicting instruction from the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, the instruction of the Required Lenders shall govern. Neither the Collateral Administrator nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations under or in respect of any other agreement (including any agreement that may be referenced herein) to which it is not a party. The grant of any permissive right or power to the Collateral Agent hereunder shall not be construed to impose a duty to act.
It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Collateral Administrator nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for, and shall not be under any duty to monitor or determine, compliance with the Eligibility Criteria in any instance, to determine any characteristic of any Portfolio Investment, to determine if the conditions of "Deliver" have been satisfied or otherwise to monitor or determine compliance by any other Person with the requirements of this Agreement.
Each of the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary and each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. None of the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or any Agent shall be responsible for any of the acts or omissions on the part of any sub-agent or attorney appointed by such Person with due care. Each of the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary and each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of such Person and its Affiliates (the "Related Parties") for such Agent. The exculpatory provisions in this Article IX shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary and each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

    - 77 -
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor as provided in this paragraph, each of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days' written notice to each Agent, the Lenders, the Servicer, the Securities Intermediary and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor (a) in the case of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Servicer and (b) in the case of the Administrative Agent, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the prior written consent of the Servicer. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Collateral Administrator, Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary or Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice of its resignation, then the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor (a) in the case of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Servicer and (b) in the case of the Administrative Agent, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the prior written consent of the Servicer, which successor shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution. If no successor shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary gives notice of its resignation, such Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor at the cost and expense of the Company. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary, as applicable, and the retiring Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the retiring Agent's, Collateral Administrator's or Securities Intermediary's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Sections 5.03 and 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary, as applicable, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor as provided in this paragraph, each of the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Agent may be removed at any time with 30 days' notice by the Company (with the written consent of the Administrative Agent), with notice to the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Lenders and the Servicer. Upon any such removal, the Company shall have the right (with the written consent of the Administrative Agent) to appoint a successor to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and/or the Securities Intermediary, as applicable. If no successor to any such Person shall have been so appointed by the Company and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after such notice of removal, then the Administrative Agent may (with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the prior written consent of the Servicer) appoint a successor which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution. If no successor shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and/or the Securities Intermediary receives notice of removal, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and/or the Securities Intermediary, as applicable, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor at the cost and expense of the Company. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the removed Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and/or the Securities Intermediary hereunder, and the removed Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and/or the Securities Intermediary shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the removed Collateral Agent's, the Collateral Administrator's and/or the Securities Intermediary's removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Sections 5.03 and 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such removed Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator and/or Securities Intermediary, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Collateral Administrator, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

    - 78 -
Upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent or the successor Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary, any such retiring or removed Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor party all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring or removed Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver (or cause its sub-custodian or bailee to so assign, transfer and deliver) to such successor agent all property and money held by such retiring or removed agent hereunder to such successor agent all property and money held by such retiring or removed Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary hereunder. Upon reasonable request of any such successor, the Company and the Administrative Agent shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor agent all such rights, powers and trusts.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Document, any organization or entity into which the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any organization or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator shall be a party, or any organization or entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator shall be the successor of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any Person or any further act on the part of any Person.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Anything in this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event shall any Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), even if such Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, has been advised of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
Each Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer or officers of such Agent or the Collateral Administrator, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent or the Collateral Administrator was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
Each Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any certificate, statement, direction or opinion furnished to it in connection with this Agreement.
Each Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, consent, order, approval, bond or other document or have any responsibility for filing or recording any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder.
In the absence of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Agents or the Collateral Administrator, as the case may be, each of them may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any request, instruction, certificate, opinion or other document furnished to it, reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement but, in the case of a request, instruction, document or certificate which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be furnished to it, each shall be under a duty to examine the same in

    - 79 -
accordance with the requirements of this Agreement to determine that it conforms to the form required by such provision.
No Agent nor the Collateral Administrator shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts include but are not limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots and acts of war, any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, terrorism, accidents, labor disputes, disease, epidemic, pandemic, quarantine, national emergency, loss or malfunction of utilities or computer software or hardware, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility. In connection with any payment, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator are entitled to rely conclusively on any instructions provided to them by the Administrative Agent.
Before the Collateral Agent or Collateral Administrator acts or refrains from acting, it may require, and may conclusively rely on, a certificate (which may be constituted by written directions provided in accordance with this Agreement, but in no event will be made in any such Person's individual capacity) of an officer of the Company, the Servicer or Administrative Agent. The Collateral Agent or Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate.
Upon the execution of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall deliver a certificate (upon which the Collateral Agent or Collateral Administrator may conclusively rely) setting forth the names of individuals, email addresses and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Agreement or any related document together with a specimen signature of such authorized officers and the Collateral Agent or Collateral Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the then current certificate until receipt of a superseding certificate.
For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator or Securities Intermediary shall have any obligation to ensure, monitor or enforce compliance with the EU/UK Securitization Rules.
In order to comply with 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 ("Applicable Bank Law"), the entity serving as Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Administrator is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with such entity. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator upon its reasonable request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator to comply with Applicable Bank Law.
The rights, protections and immunities given to the Collateral Agent in this Section 9.01 and Section 9.02shall likewise be available and applicable in all respects to the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator regardless of whether such Person is expressly mentioned in such provision.
SECTION 1.02.Additional Provisions Relating to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator.
(a)Collateral Agent May Perform. The Collateral Agent shall from time to time take such action (at the written direction of the Administrative Agent) for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein and the Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Agent in writing to take any action incidental thereto; provided that in each case the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to take any such action in the absence of such direction and shall have no obligation to comply with any such direction if it reasonably believes that the same (1) is contrary to Applicable Law or this Agreement or (2) is reasonably likely to subject the Collateral Agent to any loss, liability, cost or expense, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, make provision reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent for payment of same (which provision may be payment of such cost or expense by the Company in accordance with the Priority of

Payments if such arrangement is reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent). With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Administrative Agent; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the determination of the Collateral Agent, (1) is contrary to Applicable Law or (2) is reasonably likely to subject the Collateral Agent to any loss, liability, cost or expense, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, make provision reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent for payment of same (which provision may be payment of such cost or expense by the Company in accordance with the Priority of Payments if such arrangement is reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent). In the event the Collateral Agent requests the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such request, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.
If, in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as the case may be, shall request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it. If the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator does not receive such instructions within five (5) Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as the case may be, may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action and shall have no liability in connection therewith except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator, as the case may be, 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.
(b)Custody and Preservation. The Collateral Agent is required to hold in the custody and preserve of any of the Collateral in its possession pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the standard of care set forth herein, provided that the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have complied with the terms of this Agreement with respect to the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as the Company reasonably requests (or, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, as the Administrative Agent reasonably requests), but failure of the Collateral Agent to comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent will not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any liens thereon.
(c)Collateral Agent Not Liable. Except to the extent arising from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable by reason of its compliance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to (1) the investment of funds held thereunder in Eligible Investments (other than for losses attributable to the Collateral Agent's failure to make payments on investments issued by the Collateral Agent, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as collateral agent, in accordance with their terms) or (2) losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its stated maturity. It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Collateral Agent is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Portfolio Investments or other Collateral.
(d)Certain Rights and Obligations of the Collateral Agent. Without further consent or authorization from any Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have released and shall execute any documents or instruments necessary to release any lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or as otherwise permitted or required hereunder or to which the Required Lenders have otherwise consented. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, any Agent or Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender in its individual capacity unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise

    - 81 -
agree), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the purchaser at such sale.
(e)Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary and Collateral Administrator Fees and Expenses. The Company agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator such fees as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator and the Servicer, may agree in writing, subject to the Priority of Payments. The Company further agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator, or reimburse the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator for paying, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including attorney's fees and, in the case of the Securities Intermediary, expenses incurred by any sub-agent, sub-custodian or bailee of the Securities Intermediary permitted hereunder (but limited, in the case of attorneys' fees, to reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of one firm of outside counsel (and one local counsel in any applicable jurisdiction) for each affiliated group of such Persons), in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, subject to the Priority of Payments.
(f)Execution by the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator. The Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator are executing this Agreement solely in their capacity as Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary and Collateral Administrator, respectively, hereunder and in no event shall have any obligation to make any Advance, provide any Advance or perform any obligation of the Administrative Agent hereunder.
(g)Reports by the Collateral Administrator. The Company hereby appoints State Street Bank and Trust Company as Collateral Administrator and directs the Collateral Administrator to prepare daily reports in respect of the composition of the Collateral (including cash accounts, reconciliations, and trading activity), monthly reports in respect of the Collateral and related calculations determined as of the last calendar day of the relevant month, in each case, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto, and based upon information provided to the Collateral Administrator by the Administrative Agent and the Servicer. Each such monthly report shall be provided to the Administrative Agent, the Servicer and the Lenders on or prior to the 10th Business Day of the calendar month following each relevant month. The Company and the Servicer shall use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Collateral Administrator in connection with the matters described herein, including calculations relating to the reports contemplated herein or as otherwise reasonably requested hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall supply in a timely fashion any determinations, designations, classifications or selections made by it relating to a Portfolio Investment, including in connection with the acquisition or disposition thereof, and any information maintained by it that the Collateral Administrator may from time to time reasonably request with respect to the Portfolio Investment and reasonably need to complete the reports required to be prepared by the Collateral Administrator hereunder or reasonably required to permit the Collateral Administrator to perform its obligations hereunder. If the Collateral Administrator receives written notice from the Servicer of any modification to the Industry Classifications as set forth in the definition of such term, it shall utilize such revised Industry Classifications in connection with all applicable calculations included in the reports. The Collateral Administrator shall endeavor to deliver a draft of each such report to the Servicer and the Servicer shall review, verify and approve the contents of the aforesaid reports and upon verification the Collateral Administrator shall make such report available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. To the extent any of the information in such reports conflicts with data or calculations in the records of the Servicer, the Servicer shall notify the Collateral Administrator of such discrepancy and use reasonable efforts to assist the Collateral Administrator in reconciling such discrepancy. Upon reasonable request by the Collateral Administrator, the Servicer further agrees to provide to the Collateral Administrator from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on a timely basis, any information relating to the Portfolio Investments and any proposed purchases, sales or other dispositions thereof as to enable the Collateral Administrator to perform its duties hereunder, in each case, to the extent such information is available to the Servicer. In addition, the Administrative Agent agrees to supply in a timely fashion any determinations made by it relating to the Portfolio Investments, the Advances and the Commitments, including but not limited to the Initial Market Value, Current Market Value and the interest rate at which the Advances accrue.

    - 82 -
Notwithstanding any obligation set forth in this Section 9.02(g), no Person shall be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 9.02(g) to the extent it is subject to a confidentiality obligation that prevents it from fulfilling its obligations herein.
(h)Information Provided to Collateral Agent and Collateral Administrator. Without limiting the generality of any terms of this Section, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Administrator shall have liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Company or the Required Lenders to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, 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 or Collateral Administrator's, as applicable, 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, absent fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable.

SECTION 1.04.Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver; Right of Setoff.
(a)The Company shall pay (1) all fees and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary and their Related Parties (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of outside counsel (and one local counsel in any applicable jurisdiction) for the Administrative Agent and one additional firm of outside counsel (and one additional local counsel in any applicable jurisdiction)) for the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator, collectively, in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement, or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated); provided that the Company shall not be required to pay fees, charges or disbursements of outside counsel to the Administrative Agent incurred prior to the Effective Date in connection with the preparation of this Agreement in excess of $150,000. and (2) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator and the Lenders (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses to the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of outside counsel (and one local counsel in any applicable jurisdiction) for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and one firm of outside counsel (and one local counsel in any applicable jurisdiction)) for the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator (including, in the case of the Securities Intermediary, expenses incurred by any sub-agent, sub-custodian or bailee of the Securities Intermediary permitted hereunder), in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement, including their rights under this Section, or in connection with the Advances provided by them hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Advances.

    - 84 -
accordance with the terms of this Agreement)) or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (2) any Advance or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (3) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto or is pursuing or defending any such action, (4) the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders of their rights and remedies (including, without limitation, foreclosure) under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or (5) any enforcement by an Indemnitee of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, including the indemnity obligations herein or therein; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted (i) from (A) with respect to the Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator and the Securities Intermediary, the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary, as applicable, or (B) with respect to any other Indemnitee, the fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (ii) solely from a material breach of such Indemnitee's obligations under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents; provided that the exclusion described in subclause (ii) shall not apply to any of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary, or their Related Parties (iii) solely from the failure of the Portfolio Investments to perform; provided that subclause (iii) shall not apply to any of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary or (iv) from a claim arising as a result of a dispute between Indemnitees (other than any dispute involving claims against the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or the Lenders, in each case, in their respective capacities as such). This Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c)To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, neither the Company nor any Indemnitee shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against the Company or any Indemnitee, as applicable, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that if the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary is assessed special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages by a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with a third party claim for which the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary, as applicable, is entitled to indemnity pursuant to clause (b) above, such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages so assessed shall constitute actual damages for purposes of this clause (c).
(d)If the Advances then outstanding shall have become due and payable in full in accordance with Article VII, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Company against any of and all the obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this clause (d) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 1.05.Amendments. Subject to Section 3.02, no amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including, without limitation, a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission or electronic mail) and executed by each of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders, the Company and the Servicer; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may waive any of the Eligibility Criteria, the Concentration Limitations and the

    - 85 -
requirements set forth in Schedule 3 or Schedule 4 in its sole discretion; provided further that the consent of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary shall be required for any amendment that affects its rights, duties, protections or immunities; provided further that any Material Amendment shall require the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby.
SECTION 1.06.Successors; Assignments.
(a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Company without such consent shall be null and void) and (except with respect to any delegation set forth in Section 5.01) the Servicer may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)Subject to the conditions set forth below, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Financing Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it) to a bank, a broker-dealer or an insurance company (or, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any other Person) with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the prior written consent of the Servicer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and upon reasonable prior written notice (including via email) to the Company, the Collateral Agent and the Servicer; provided that (i) no consent of the Administrative Agent (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any other Person) shall be required for an assignment of any Financing Commitment (x) to an assignee that is a Lender (or any Affiliate thereof) immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment or (y) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (ii) no consent of the Administrative Agent (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any other Person) shall be required for any participation of any Financing Commitment and (iii) no consent of the Servicer shall be required for any assignment of any rights or obligations of a Lender following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.
Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement; and (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof below, from and after the effective date specified in each assignment and assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment and assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment and assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment and assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto as a Lender but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.03 and 10.04).
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each assignment and assumption delivered to it and the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the parties hereto shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, any Lender and the Servicer, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon its receipt of a duly completed assignment and assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall accept such assignment and assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.

    - 86 -
(c)Any Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or broker-dealers (a "Lender Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Financing Commitment and the Advances owing to it); provided that (1) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (2) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (3) the Company, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Lender Participant, agree to any Material Amendment that directly and adversely affects such Lender Participant.
(d)Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Lender Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Lender Participant's interest in the Advances or other obligations under this Agreement (the "Participant Register"); provided that, subject to clause (c) above, no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Lender Participant or any information relating to a Lender Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The Company agrees that each Lender Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01(e) and Section 3.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.03(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.03(f) shall be delivered to the Lender that sells the participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Lender Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.04 relating to replacement of Lenders as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 10.06 and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01(e), Section 3.01(f) and Section 3.03, with respect to any participation, than the Lender that sells the participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Lender Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the replacement of Lenders provisions set forth in Section 3.04 with respect to any Lender Participant.
