Upon agreeing to enter into a Transaction hereunder, Buyer or Seller (or both), as shall be agreed, shall promptly deliver to the other party a written confirmation of each Transaction (a “Confirmation”).

Margin Maintenance

If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities subject to all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as Buyer is less than the aggregate Buyer’s Margin Amount for all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Seller require Seller in such Transactions, at Seller’s option, to transfer to Buyer cash or additional Securities reasonably acceptable to Buyer (“Additional Purchased Securities”), so that the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities, including any such Additional Purchased Securities, will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate Buyer’s Margin Amount (decreased by the amount of any Margin Deficit as of such date arising from any Transactions in which such Buyer is acting as Seller).

If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities subject to all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as Seller exceeds the aggregate Seller’s Margin Amount for all such Transactions at such time (a “Margin Excess”), then Seller may by notice to Buyer require Buyer in such Transactions, at Buyer’s option, to transfer cash or Purchased Securities to Seller, so that the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities, after deduction of any such cash or any Purchased Securities so transferred, will thereupon not exceed such aggregate Seller’s Margin Amount (increased by the amount of any Margin Excess as of such date arising from any Transactions in which such Seller is acting as Buyer).

If any notice is given by Buyer or Seller under subparagraph (a) or (b) of this Paragraph at or before the Margin Notice Deadline on any business day, the party receiving such notice shall transfer cash or Additional Purchased Securities as provided in such subparagraph no later than the close of business in the relevant market on such day. If any such notice is given after the Margin Notice Deadline, the party receiving such notice shall transfer such cash or Securities no later than the close of business in the relevant market on the next business day following such notice.

Any cash transferred pursuant to this Paragraph shall be attributed to such Transactions as shall be agreed upon by Buyer and Seller.

Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions hereunder, that the respective rights of Buyer or Seller (or both) under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph may be exercised only where a Margin Deficit or Margin Excess, as the case may be, exceeds a specified dollar amount or a specified percentage of the Repurchase Prices for such Transactions (which amount or percentage shall be agreed to by Buyer and Seller prior to entering into any such Transactions).

Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions hereunder, that the respective rights of Buyer and Seller under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph to require the elimination of a Margin Deficit or a Margin Excess, as the case may be, may be exercised whenever such a Margin Deficit or Margin Excess exists with respect to any single Transaction hereunder (calculated without regard to any other Transaction outstanding under this Agreement).

Payment and Transfer

Segregation of Purchased Securities

Substitution

Seller may, subject to agreement with and acceptance by Buyer, substitute other Securities for any Purchased Securities. Such substitution shall be made by transfer to Buyer of such other Securities and transfer to Seller of such Purchased Securities. After substitution, the substituted Securities shall be deemed to be Purchased Securities.

In Transactions in which Seller retains custody of Purchased Securities, the parties expressly agree that Buyer shall be deemed, for purposes of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, to have agreed to and accepted in this Agreement substitution by Seller of other Securities for Purchased Securities; provided, however, that such other Securities shall have a Market Value at least equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Securities for which they are substituted.

Representations

Events of Default

The nondefaulting party may, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency), declare an Event of Default to have occurred hereunder and, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of such option, the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (except that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately canceled). The nondefaulting party shall (except upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency) give notice to the defaulting party of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.

In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Seller, if the nondefaulting party exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, (i) the defaulting party’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Securities, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by the nondefaulting party and applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder, and (iii) the defaulting party shall immediately deliver to the nondefaulting party any Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions then in the defaulting party’s possession or control.

In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, upon tender by the nondefaulting party of payment of the aggregate Repurchase Prices for all such Transactions, all right, title and interest in and entitlement to all Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions shall be deemed transferred to the nondefaulting party, and the defaulting party shall deliver all such Purchased Securities to the nondefaulting party.

If the nondefaulting party exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, the nondefaulting party, without prior notice to the defaulting party, may:

as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Seller, (A) immediately sell, in a recognized market (or otherwise in a commercially reasonable manner) at such price or prices as the nondefaulting party may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions and apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Securities, to give the defaulting party credit for such Purchased Securities in an amount equal to the price therefor on such date, obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent closing bid quotation from such a source, against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder; and

as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, (A) immediately purchase, in a recognized market (or otherwise in a commercially reasonable manner) at such price or prices as the nondefaulting party may reasonably deem satisfactory, securities (“Replacement Securities”) of the same class and amount as any Purchased Securities that are not delivered by the defaulting party to the nondefaulting party as required hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of purchasing Replacement Securities, to be deemed to have purchased Replacement Securities at the price therefor on such date, obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent closing offer quotation from such a source.

As to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, the defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party for any excess of the price paid (or deemed paid) by the nondefaulting party for Replacement Securities over the Repurchase Price for the Purchased Securities replaced thereby and for any amounts payable by the defaulting party under Paragraph 5 hereof or otherwise hereunder.

For purposes of this Paragraph 11, the Repurchase Price for each Transaction hereunder in respect of which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer shall not increase above the amount of such Repurchase Price for such Transaction determined as of the date of the exercise or deemed exercise by the nondefaulting party of the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph.

The defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the nondefaulting party in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the defaulting party shall be liable to the non-defaulting party for interest on any amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder, from the date the defaulting party becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by the defaulting party or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of the nondefaulting party’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by the defaulting party to the nondefaulting party under this Paragraph 11(h) shall be at a rate equal to the greater of the Pricing Rate for the relevant Transaction or the Prime Rate.

The nondefaulting party shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law.

Single Agreement

Notices and Other Communications

Entire Agreement; Severability

Non-assignability; Termination

The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, and any such assignment without the prior written consent of the other party shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon giving written notice to the other, except that this Agreement shall, notwithstanding such notice, remain applicable to any Transactions then outstanding.

Subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 15 shall not preclude a party from assigning, charging or otherwise dealing with all or any part of its interest in any sum payable to it under Paragraph 11 hereof.

Governing Law

No Waivers, Etc.

Use of Employee Plan Assets

If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) are intended to be used by either party hereto (the “Plan Party”) in a Transaction, the Plan Party shall so notify the other party prior to the Transaction. The Plan Party shall represent in writing to the other party that the Transaction does not constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or is otherwise exempt therefrom, and the other party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be required so to proceed.

Subject to the last sentence of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, any such Transaction shall proceed only if Seller furnishes or has furnished to Buyer its most recent available audited statement of its financial condition and its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its financial condition.

By entering into a Transaction pursuant to this Paragraph, Seller shall be deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that since the date of Seller’s latest such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in Seller’s financial condition which Seller has not disclosed to Buyer, and (ii) to agree to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited statements of its financial condition as they are issued, so long as it is a Seller in any outstanding Transaction involving a Plan Party.

Intent

The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of Securities subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Securities delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections

in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and

in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

Other Applicable Annexes. In addition to this Annex I and Annex II, the following Annexes, and any schedules or annexes which supplement and form a part of such Annexes, shall form a part of the Agreement and shall be applicable thereunder: None.

Margin Provisions

Margin Notice Deadline. For purposes of the Agreement and this Annex I, “Margin Notice Deadline” means 10:00 a.m. (New York time).

Minimum Transfer Amount. Margin Maintenance provisions of Paragraph 4 of this Agreement will operate only where Margin Deficit or Margin Excess exceeds $100,000.

Business Day. “Business Day” or “business day”, with respect to any Transaction (other than an International Transaction) hereunder, means a day on which regular trading may occur in the principal market for the Purchased Securities subject to such Transaction, which includes shortened trading days, days on which trades are permitted to occur but do not in fact occur and days on which the Purchased Securities are subject to percentage of movement or volume limitations; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating Market Value, such term shall mean a day on which regular trading occurs in the principal market for the assets the value of which is being determined. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) for purposes of Paragraph 4 of the Agreement, “business day” shall mean any day on which regular trading occurs in the principal market for any Purchased Securities or for any assets constituting Additional Purchased Securities under any outstanding Transaction hereunder and “next business day” shall mean the next day on which a transfer of Additional Purchased Securities may be effected in accordance with Paragraph 7 of the Agreement, and (ii) in no event shall a Saturday or Sunday be considered a business day.

Designated Offices. The parties agree that Party A may act through the following branches or offices when entering into Transactions governed by the Agreement: Toronto Transit.

Dispute Resolution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph 4 of the Agreement, if the Buyer or the Seller as the case may be (such party being the “Disputing Party”) disagrees with the other party’s calculation of the Market Value of any Purchased Securities used to determine the Margin Deficit or Margin Excess specified in the notice referred to in Paragraph 4(a) or (b) of the Agreement (the “Margin Notice”), and there is a difference of 1 United States Dollars or more (using the standard definition of Market Value) between the amount that the Disputing Party asserts is the Market Value of the subject Purchased Securities and the Market Value quoted by the other party, then the parties agree, as follows:

provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in respect of the other party, the Disputing Party will transfer to the other party cash or Securities in an amount equal to the undisputed amount of the Margin Deficit or Margin Excess as set out in the Margin Notice, in accordance with Paragraph 4 of the Agreement; and

if the Margin Notice was received on or before the Margin Notice Deadline on a Business Day,

by 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the same Business Day, the Disputing party will provide written notice of its dispute in relation to the disputed amount (the “Margin Dispute Notice”) to the other party specifying those Securities whose valuations are in dispute (the “Disputed Securities”) and the Disputing Party’s valuation for each Disputed Security (“Disputing Party’s Valuation”).

by 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the same Business Day, the Disputing Party will provide prices for the Disputed Securities by obtaining a firm bid (each, a “Broker Bid”) for (1) the full outstanding principal amount of such Disputed Securities or (2) $3,000,000 from Specified Bidders (as defined below) ; and

by the Margin Notice Deadline on the Business Day immediately following the day on which the Margin Dispute Notice is given (the “Recalculation Time”), the other party will recalculate the Margin Deficit or Margin Excess, as the case may be (the “Recalculated Margin Amount”), by using as the Market Value for any Disputed Security the following: (i) as to any Disputed Security for which three Broker Bids were obtained, the arithmetic average of the two highest Broker Bids, (ii) as to any Disputed Security for which two Broker Bids were obtained, the arithmetic average of the two Broker Bids, and (iii) as to any Disputed Security for which either one Broker Bid or no Broker Bids were obtained, the other party’s valuation.

If the Margin Notice was received after the Margin Notice Deadline on a Business Day,

the Disputing Party will provide a Margin Dispute Notice to the other party within two hours following receipt of such Margin Notice, specifying the Disputed Securities and the Disputing Party’s valuation for each Disputed Security;

by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the immediately following Business Day, the Disputing Party will provide Broker Bids for (1) the full outstanding principal amount of such Disputed Securities or (2) $3,000,000 from three Specified Bidders (as defined below); and

by 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately following the day on which the Margin Dispute Notice is given (the “Recalculation Time”), the other party will determine the Recalculated Margin Amount by using the methodology set forth above in clause (i)(C).

Purchase Price Maintenance.

Unless otherwise agreed, in any Transaction hereunder whose term extends over an Income payment date for the Securities subject to such Transaction, Buyer shall on the date such Income is paid transfer to or credit to the account of Seller an amount equal to such Income payment or payments pursuant to Paragraph 5(i) of the Agreement and shall not apply the Income payment or payments to reduce the amount to be transferred to Buyer or Seller upon termination of the Transaction pursuant to Paragraph 5(ii) of the Agreement.

Notwithstanding the definition of Purchase Price in Paragraph 2 of the Agreement and the provisions of Paragraph 4 of the Agreement, unless otherwise agreed, the parties agree (i) that the Purchase Price will not be increased or decreased by the amount of any cash transferred by one party to the other pursuant to Paragraph 4 of the Agreement and (ii) that transfer of such cash shall be treated as if it constituted a transfer of Securities (with a Market Value equal to the U.S. dollar amount of such cash) pursuant to Paragraph 4(a) or (b), as the case may be (including for purposes of the definition of “Additional Purchased Securities”).

Early Termination. If as a result of sovereign action or inaction (directly or indirectly), a party (the “affected party”) becomes unable to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or transfer or to receive a payment or transfer in respect of any Transaction under the Agreement or to comply with any other material provision of the Agreement relating to such Transaction (each, an “Affected Transaction”), then the other party (the “non-affected party”) may, at its option, terminate and close-out the Affected Transaction(s) by giving notice to the affected party and electing to have the provisions of Paragraph 11 of the Agreement apply in respect of such Affected Transaction(s) as if an Event of Default had occurred with respect to the affected party and the Affected Transaction(s) were the sole Transactions under the Agreement.

Additional Event of Default. In addition to the Events of Default set forth in Paragraph 11 of the Agreement, the following shall be additional “Events of Default” under the Agreement:

the execution, delivery or performance of the Agreement or any Transaction hereunder by the other party (which shall be the defaulting party) constitutes a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code for which no exemption is available; or

a party (which shall be the defaulting party) becomes an entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” subject to ERISA by reason of United States Department of Labor Regulation 29 CFR 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise; or

Seller or Buyer fails to pay when due any sum payable under Section 10 below.

(“Guarantor”), in form and substance acceptable to Party A and substantially similar to Exhibit A hereto, supporting the obligations of Party B under this Agreement, (2) Guarantor fails to pay or perform any of its obligations under such guarantee or (3) an Act of Insolvency shall occur with respect to Guarantor.

Events of Default.

Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) of the introductory paragraph to Paragraph 11 of the Agreement, Seller’s failure to transfer Purchased Securities on the applicable Purchase Date for a Transaction or Buyer’s failure to transfer Purchased Securities on the applicable Repurchase Date for a Transaction shall not constitute an Event of Default under paragraph 11 (in either case, the party who fails to deliver shall be referred to as “Party X”, the party to whom delivery was due shall be referred to as “Party Y” and the delivery failure shall be referred to as the “Delivery Failure”), if :

Subparagraph 11(d). The following language is added as clause (4) of the last paragraph: “(4) the generally recognized source referred to in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above must be an independent, unrelated third party.”

Mini Close-Out. Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) of the introductory paragraph to Paragraph 11 of the Agreement, and subject to Section 9(a) above, the following provisions shall apply.

If Seller fails to deliver Purchased Securities to Buyer on the Purchase Date for a Transaction (a “Seller Delivery Failure”), Buyer may: (1) if Buyer has paid the Purchase Price to Seller, require Seller to immediately repay the sum so paid; (2) if a Margin Deficit exists with respect to such Transaction, require Seller from time to time to pay cash sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit; and (3) at any time while such Seller Delivery Failure continues, terminate such Transaction (and only such Transaction) by electing to have the provisions of Paragraph 11 of the Agreement apply as if an Event of Default had occurred with respect to Seller and such Transaction were the sole Transaction under the Agreement.

If Buyer fails to deliver Purchased Securities to Seller on the Repurchase Date for a Transaction (a “Buyer Delivery Failure”), Seller may: (1) if Seller has paid the Repurchase Price to Buyer, require Buyer to immediately repay the sum so paid; (2) if a Margin Excess exists with respect to such Transaction, require Buyer from time to time to pay cash sufficient to eliminate such Margin Excess; and (3) at any time while such Buyer Delivery Failure continues, terminate such Transaction (and only such Transaction) by electing to have the provisions of Paragraph 11 of the Agreement apply as if an Event of Default had occurred with respect to Buyer and such Transaction were the sole Transaction under the Agreement.

Any payment of the Purchase Price, Repurchase Price or any other amount owed pursuant to this Section 10, shall be due and payable by no later than (x) the dealer close of the Federal Reserve wire on the business day following the business day such payment or transfer (as the case may be) is requested to be made..

In addition, each party agrees to deliver, upon execution of the Agreement and thereafter, promptly upon the request of the other party, any form or document, accurately completed and in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the other party, that may be required or reasonably requested in order to allow the other party to make payments under the Agreement without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax or with such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate.

Counterparts; Form of Agreement. The Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. The parties agree that this Agreement, any documents to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement and any notices hereunder may be transmitted between them by email and/or facsimile. The parties intend that faxed signatures and electronically imaged signatures such as .pdf files shall constitute original signatures and are binding on all parties. The parties agree that the text of the body of the Agreement is intended to be, and to conform with, the Master Repurchase Agreement (September 1996 Version) promulgated by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association and shall be construed accordingly.

Recording of Conversations. Each party (i) consents to the recording of telephone conversations between the trading, marketing and other relevant personnel of the parties in connection with this Agreement or any potential transaction hereunder, (ii) agrees to obtain any necessary consent of, and give any necessary notice of such recording to, its relevant personnel and (iii) agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that recordings may be submitted in evidence in any proceedings arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction hereunder.

FATCA. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary:

Any Payment under or in respect of the Agreement shall be made subject to any withholding or deduction imposed on such Payment pursuant to or on account of FATCA, and no additional Payment shall be required, nor any Payment increased on account of any such withholding or deduction. Except as provided in subsection (b) of this Section 18, no Party shall be required to indemnify any other Party on account of any loss, liability or cost imposed as a result of or otherwise arising from such withholding or deduction.

If the payor is required to make any deduction or withholding pursuant to or on account of FATCA and the payor does not so deduct or withhold and a liability resulting from such failure to withhold or deduct is assessed directly against the payor, then the payee will indemnify the payor therefor and promptly pay to the payor the amount of such liability. The payee’s indemnification obligation hereunder shall include any related liability for interest and, if the payee has failed to comply with its obligations under subsection (d) or (e) of this Section 18, shall include any related liability for penalties.

Any representation or warranty made by a Party with respect to any withholding or deduction being or not being applicable to Payments made under the Agreement shall be deemed not to be made in respect of any withholding or deduction imposed pursuant to or on account of FATCA.

Each Party agrees to deliver any forms or documentation or information reasonably requested in writing by the other Party in order for the other Party to comply with its obligations under FATCA with respect to the Agreement including, for the avoidance of doubt, any document establishing the non-requesting Party’s status under FATCA and any waiver that may be required to permit reporting of any “financial account” as defined under FATCA.

Each Party agrees to notify the other Party of any circumstances known or reasonably known to it that causes a form, document or other information provided by it pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section 18 to fail to be true.

For the purpose of this Section 18, the following definitions apply:

The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations, the Transactions or the Master Agreement; the absence of any action to enforce the same; any waiver or consent by RBC concerning any provisions thereof; the rendering of any judgment against Party B or any action to enforce the same; or any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or a defense of a guarantor. The Guarantor covenants that this guarantee will not be discharged except by complete payment of the amounts expressed as payable and the satisfaction of all Obligations.

This guarantee shall be a continuing guarantee and shall cover all payments due and payable and all other obligations to RBC by Party B pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Transactions and the Master Agreement.

The Guarantor hereby waives diligence; set-off; presentment; protest; notice of protest, acceleration, and dishonour; filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of Party B; all demands whatsoever, and any right to require a proceeding first against Party B, and in this regard RBC shall not be bound to exhaust any recourse against Party B or others or any security it may at any time hold before being entitled to payment from the Guarantor of any amounts due by Party B under the Transactions and the Master Agreement.

This guarantee shall not be affected by any change in the name of Party B or by the acquisition of Party B’s business by another entity, or by any change whatsoever in the objects, capital structure or constitution of Party B or by Party B’s business being merged or consolidated with or into another entity, the loss of Party B’s separate legal identity or if ceases to exist, but shall notwithstanding the happening of any such event continue to apply in respect of any payments due and payable by and the obligations of Party B under the Transactions and the Master Agreement.

In the event of non-payment by the Guarantor on the due date of any sum due under this guarantee, the Guarantor shall pay to RBC in the currency in which such sum is due interest on such sum from the date such sum is due to the date of actual payment (as well after as before demand and judgment) [at the rate per annum determined by RBC from time to time to be the default rate.]

As a separate and independent stipulation, the Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to indemnify RBC upon demand from and against any loss incurred by RBC as a result of any obligation of Party B to pay any sum expressed as payable under the Transactions and the Agreement being or becoming void, voidable or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the amount of such loss being the amount which RBC would have been entitled to recover from Party B but for such obligation being or becoming void, voidable or unenforceable. In addition, the Guarantor confirms and agrees that any sum due and payable by Party B under the Transactions and the Agreement which may not be recoverable from the Guarantor on the footing of a guarantee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be recoverable from the Guarantor as sole or principal debtor in respect thereof and shall be paid to RBC on demand together with interest at the default rate.

The Guarantor shall be bound by the amount specified in any demand for payment made upon the Guarantor, absent manifest error.

Any and all payments required under this guarantee shall be made free and clear of and without any withholding on account of any taxes or other charges of any nature or kind whatsoever. If any such taxes or charges are required to be withheld from any payment made under this guarantee, the undersigned shall pay an additional amount such that the net amount received by RBC shall be equal to the amount which would have been received by them if no such withholding were required to be made.

If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this guarantee it becomes necessary to convert into the currency of such jurisdiction (herein called the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due hereunder in any currency other than the Judgment Currency, then, to the extent permitted by law, conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. For this purpose “rate of exchange” means the rate at which Royal Bank of Canada will, on the relevant date, sell such currency in Toronto, Ontario against the Judgment Currency. In the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of payment of the amount due, the Guarantor will, to the extent permitted by law, on the date of payment, pay such additional amounts (if any) or be entitled to receive reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment is the amount that otherwise would have been due under the Transactions in the absence of any judgment hereon in such other currency. Any additional amount due from the Guarantor will be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect of this guarantee.

The Guarantor represents and warrants to RBC that:

it is a body corporate duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation;

it has the power to execute and deliver this guarantee and to perform its obligations hereunder and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution and delivery and performance of such obligations;

all consents, authorizations, and approvals requisite for its due execution and delivery of this guarantee or the performance of its obligations under this guarantee have been obtained and remain in full force and effect and all conditions thereof have been and will be duly complied with and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental, judicial or regulatory authority or body is required for such execution, delivery or performance;

this guarantee has been duly executed and delivered and is its valid and legally binding obligation enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium reorganization and other laws of general application relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles;

no potential Event of Default or Event of Default (as those terms are defined in the Master Agreement) relating to it has occurred and is continuing or would occur by reason of it entering into or performing its obligations under this guarantee; and

the ultimate determination of any action, suit or proceeding pending or threatened against it at law or in equity, or before any court, tribunal arbitrators, governmental body, agency or official, will not materially impair its ability to perform, or render it unable to perform, its obligations under this guarantee and there is no such proceeding which purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this guarantee.

The Guarantor covenants with RBC that so long as any amount may become payable by Party B pursuant to the Transactions and the Master Agreement, or by it under this guarantee, it will:

comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, non-compliance with which would materially impair its ability to perform, or render it unable to perform, its obligations under this guarantee and will use its best efforts to seek and obtain all consents, authorizations and approvals which may be required from time to time for it to perform its obligations under this guarantee;

notify RBC of the occurrence of any potential Event of Default or Event of Default or any other event or circumstance which with the giving of notice or lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Master Agreement) relating to it as soon as it becomes aware of it;

prepare financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices in respect of each financial year and cause same to be certified by its auditors and furnish a copy of same to RBC, which shall be deemed to have been provided to RBC to the extent that they are publicly available on either the Guarantor’s website at: https://fsinvestments.com or filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and publicly available at http//:www.sec.gov, not later than 120 days after the financial period to which they relate.

This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the law of the State of New York (without reference to the choice of law doctrine) and becomes effective upon execution. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to a trial by jury with respect to any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guarantee.

With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this guarantee (“Proceedings”), the Guarantor irrevocably:

submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City; and

waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over it.

This guarantee shall extend to and endure to the benefit of RBC and its successors and assigns and every reference herein to the Guarantor is a reference to and shall be construed as including the Guarantor and its successors to and upon all of whom this guarantee and agreement shall extend and be binding.

it is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware;

it is registered as an investment adviser under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or is exempt from such registration;

it is registered as an investment adviser under each applicable state securities law or is exempt from such registration; and

no action has been taken by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or any applicable state regulator to suspend or revoke such registration, and to its knowledge no investigation or regulatory proceeding has been commenced by the SEC or any applicable state regulator that is reasonably likely to result in such suspension or revocation.

The Sub-Advisor has been granted the full power, authority and discretion to: (i) enter into any Transactions on behalf of Party B, (ii) bind Party B to the obligations associated with any such Transactions entered into on its behalf and (iii) execute and deliver any and all documentation related to any such Transactions entered into on behalf of Party B (collectively, the “Authority”).

RBC shall be entitled to rely upon any oral and written notices and instructions believed to be originated from Party B or the Sub-Advisor and RBC shall be (i) fully protected in acting upon any such notices and instructions, (ii) under no duty to determine whether the notices and instructions, (ii) under no duty to determine whether the giving of any notice or instruction, or the entry into of any Transaction (including without limitation its nature and its amount), on behalf of Party B is within the authority of the Sub-Advisor and (iii) shall not incur any liability to the Party B in acting in accordance with such notices and instructions.
