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

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

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

(c) For each Collection Period and as of any date of determination, the Scheduled Distribution on any Collateral Loan (other than a Defaulted Collateral Loan or an Ineligible Collateral Loan, which, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be assumed to have Scheduled Distributions of zero) shall be the total amount of (i) payments and collections to be received during such Collection Period in respect of such Collateral Loan, (ii) proceeds of the sale of such Collateral Loan received and, in the case of sales which have not yet settled, to be received during such Collection Period that are not reinvested in additional Collateral Loans or retained in a Collection Account for subsequent reinvestment pursuant to Article X, which proceeds, if received as scheduled, will be available in a Collection Account and available for distribution at the end of such Collection Period and (iii) amounts referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above that were received in prior Collection Periods but were not disbursed on a previous Payment Date or retained in a Collection Account for subsequent reinvestment pursuant to Article X.

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

(f) For purposes of calculating all Concentration Limitations and Section 6.01(m), in both the numerator and the denominator of any component of the Concentration Limitations or the calculation set forth in Section 6.01(m), Ineligible Collateral Loans will be treated as having a Principal Balance equal to zero.

(g) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Asset Value of Defaulted Collateral Loans will be included in the calculation of the Collateral Quality Tests and the Asset Value of Ineligible Collateral Loans will not be included in the calculation of the Collateral Quality Tests.

(h) For purposes of determining the Minimum Weighted Average Spread Test (and related computations of Aggregate Funded Spread), capitalized or deferred interest (and any other interest that is not paid in cash) will be excluded.

(i) Portions of the same Collateral Loan acquired by the Borrower on different dates (whether through purchase, receipt by contribution or the making or origination thereof, but excluding subsequent draws under Revolving Collateral Loans or Delayed Draw Collateral Loans) will, for purposes of determining the purchase price of such Collateral Loan, be treated as separate purchases on separate dates (and not a weighted average purchase price for any particular Collateral Loan).

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

(k) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all monetary calculations under this Agreement shall be in Dollars.

(l) (i) Except as provided in clause (iii) below, for purposes of calculating compliance with the Borrowing Base Test, any Collateral Quality Test or any Concentration Limitation under this Agreement in connection with the acquisition or disposition of a Collateral Loan or Eligible Investment, the trade date (the “Trade Date”) (and not the settlement date) with respect to any such Collateral Loan or Eligible Investment under consideration for acquisition or disposition shall be used to determine whether such acquisition or disposition is permitted hereunder, (ii) for purposes of calculating compliance with the Borrowing Base Test under clause (i) above, the calculation thereof shall assume (and give pro forma effect to) (x) the making of an Advance to the Borrower (based on the Advance Rate applicable thereto) upon settlement of the acquisition of a Collateral Loan (based on the purchase price therefor) and (y) the repayment of any Advance upon settlement of the disposition of a Collateral Loan (based on the sale price therefor), (iii) for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base in connection with the making or repayment of any Advance, such calculation shall be recalculated at the time when such Advance is made or repaid giving effect to the settlement of any Collateral Loan acquired or disposed of, and (iv) for purposes of calculating compliance with Section 6.01(m), the Trade Date (and not the settlement date) with respect to any Collateral Loan under contract for acquisition or disposition shall be used to determine whether such Collateral Loan is owned by the Borrower.

(m) At any time when any one or more of the Concentration Limitations are exceeded, the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager acting on its behalf) shall be permitted to select (from among the Collateral Loans whose Aggregate Principal Balance causes such Concentration Limitations to be exceeded) the Collateral Loans, or portions thereof, to be allocated to the Excess Concentration Amount, and to revise such allocations from time to time.

(n) To the extent of any ambiguity in the interpretation of any definition or term contained in this Agreement or to the extent more than one methodology can be used to make any of the determinations or calculations set forth herein, the Collateral Administrator shall request direction from the Administrative Agent as to the interpretation and/or methodology to be used, and the Collateral Administrator shall follow such direction, and together with the Collateral Agent, the Custodian, and the Securities Intermediary, shall be entitled to conclusively rely thereon without any responsibility or liability therefor.

(a) The Borrower, shall, prior to each proposed acquisition of Collateral Loans (whether proposed to be funded by an Advance or by the use of the cash proceeds contributed by the Equityholder, or by an in-kind contribution of Collateral Loans contributed by the Equityholder) provide to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Manager) a notice by electronic mail in the form of Exhibit A hereto (together with any attachments required in connection therewith, an “Approval Request”).

(b) The Administrative Agent shall have the right to approve or reject any Approval Request in its sole discretion and to request additional information regarding any proposed Collateral Loan.

Any approval may be withdrawn at any time at least three (3) Business Days prior to the time at which the Borrower actually becomes obligated to purchase or enter into documents governing such proposed Collateral Loan by written notice (including via e-mail) of such withdrawal from the Administrative Agent to the Collateral Manager. If the Administrative Agent has rejected an Approval Request, or withdrawn or withheld its approval of any such request, then the Borrower shall not be authorized to purchase such proposed Collateral Loan unless, in the case of a withdrawn approval, the Administrative Agent has not withdrawn its approval at least three (3) Business Days prior to the time at which the Borrower enters into a commitment to purchase such proposed Collateral Loan.

(c) On the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, including Article III, each Lender severally agrees to make loans to the Borrower (each, an “Advance”) from time to time on any Business Day during the Reinvestment Period, on a pro rata basis in each case in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to but not exceeding such Lender’s Commitment and, as to all Lenders, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not exceeding the Borrowing Base as then in effect. Each such borrowing of an Advance on any single day is referred to herein as a “Borrowing”.

Within such limits and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow (and re-borrow) Advances under this Section 2.01 and prepay Advances under Section 2.05.

Section 2.02. Making of the Advances

(a) If the Borrower desires to make a Borrowing under this Agreement it shall give the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator) a written notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) for such Borrowing (which notice shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt) not later than 10:00 a.m. on the requested Borrowing Date; provided that any advances outstanding on the Closing Date under the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding as Advances hereunder without further act and without the need for a Notice of Borrowing on the Closing Date.

Each Notice of Borrowing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, dated the date the request for the related Borrowing is being made, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, shall attach a Borrowing Base Calculation Statement, and shall otherwise be appropriately completed. The proposed Borrowing Date specified in each Notice of Borrowing shall be a Business Day falling on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date, and the amount of the Borrowing requested in such Notice of Borrowing (the “Requested Amount”) shall be equal to at least $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the remaining unfunded Commitments hereunder or, in the case of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans or Revolving Collateral Loans, such lesser amount required to be funded by the Borrower in respect thereof).

The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of its receipt of such Notice of Borrowing by noon on the day of receipt thereof (or, if such day is not a Business Day, by noon on the next succeeding Business Day).

(b) Each Lender shall, not later than 2:00 p.m. on each Borrowing Date in respect of Advances, make its Percentage of the applicable Requested Amount available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds by disbursing such funds in Dollars to the account of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the wiring instruction set forth in the notification of Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.02(a). Once each Lender has funded its Percentage of the applicable Requested Amount, the Administrative Agent shall make the Requested Amount available to the Borrower by disbursing such funds in Dollars to the Principal Collection Account.

Section 2.03. Evidence of Indebtedness; Notes

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

(b) Any Lender may request that its Advances to the Borrower be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender and otherwise appropriately completed. Thereafter, the Advances of such Lender evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 12.06(a)) be represented by a Note payable to such Lender (or registered assigns pursuant to Section 12.06(a)), except to the extent that such Lender (or assignee) subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Advances once again be evidenced as described in clause (a) of this Section 2.03.

(c) Promptly after all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent obligations) have been paid in full and all Commitments have been terminated, each Lender whose Advances were evidenced by a Note shall return such Note to the Borrower for cancellation.

Section 2.04. Payment of Principal and Interest

The Borrower shall pay principal and Interest on the Advances to the account of the Administrative Agent for disbursement to the Lenders as follows:

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

(b) Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in full. The Administrative Agent shall determine the unpaid Interest and Commitment Fees payable thereto prior to each Payment Date using the applicable Interest Rate for the related Interest Accrual Period to be paid by the Borrower with respect to each Advance on each Payment Date for the related Interest Accrual Period and shall advise each Lender and the Collateral Manager thereof and shall send a consolidated invoice of all such Interest and Commitment Fees to the Borrower on the third (3^rd) Business Day prior to such Payment Date.

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

(d) Subject in all cases to Section 2.04(e), the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Obligations, including the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Advances and accrued interest thereon, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof (including Section 2.15), under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against any Secured Party or any other Person.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement are limited recourse obligations of the Borrower payable solely from the Collateral in accordance with the Priority of Payments and, following realization of the Collateral, and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the Priority of Payments and, subject to Section 2.13, all obligations of and any claims against the Borrower hereunder or in connection herewith after such realization shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had against any officer, director, employee, shareholder, Affiliate, member, manager, agent, partner, principal or incorporator of the Borrower or their respective successors or assigns for any amounts payable under this Agreement. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this clause (e) shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by this Agreement until such Collateral has been realized. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this clause (e) shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Borrower as a party defendant in any proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under this Agreement, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against the Borrower.

(ii) At any time and from time to time during the Reinvestment Period, if the daily average aggregate amount of the Commitments of all Lenders for any period of three consecutive calendar months (or, in the case of the first period following the Closing Date, the first six months following the Closing Date or such longer period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) exceeds 120% of the daily average of the Advances Outstanding during such period, then on the last day of such three-month period (or six-month period or longer, in the case of the first period following the Closing Date), the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be automatically and permanently reduced (pro rata, based on each Lender’s Percentage), without premium or penalty, to an aggregate amount equal to 120% of the daily average of the Advances Outstanding during such three-month period (or six-month period or longer, in the case of the first period following the Closing Date)

(b) Optional Termination or Reductions. Prior to the Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the unused amount of the Facility Amount at any time or from time to time without any fee or penalty, except as specified in Section 2.12(b), upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Administrator and the Custodian of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date of such termination or reduction and the amount of any such reduction; provided that (i) the amount of any such reduction of the Facility Amount (other than with respect to repayments of Advances outstanding made by the Borrower to reduce a Borrowing Base Deficiency Amount to zero) shall be equal to at least $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the remaining unused portion thereof, and (ii) no such reduction will reduce the Facility Amount below the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Advances outstanding at such time and (y) the aggregate unfunded commitments under all of the Borrower’s Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans (less amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account). Such notice of termination or reduction shall be irrevocable and effective only upon receipt and shall be applied pro rata to reduce the respective Commitments of each Lender.

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

Section 2.07. Maximum Lawful Rate

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

Section 2.08. Several Obligations

The failure of any Lender to make any Advance to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Advance on such date. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator, shall be responsible for the failure of any Lender to make any Advance, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make an Advance required to be made by such other Lender.

Section 2.09. Increased Costs

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, compulsory loan, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Person (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate);

(ii) subject any Secured Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Non-Excluded Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Affected Person or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense, affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Affected Person by reference to the LIBOR Rate or any participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Person of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Advance made by reference to the LIBOR Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance) or to increase the cost to such Affected Person or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Person hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital or on the capital of such Affected Person’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Advances made by such Affected Person to a level below that which such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Person’s policies and the policies of such Affected Person’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), by an amount deemed to be material by such Affected Person, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Affected Person in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Liquidity Support. If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.09, any Affected Person is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Person in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Person for any amounts payable or paid by it.

(d) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of an Affected Person setting forth the amount or amounts, in Dollars, necessary to compensate such Affected Person or its holding company as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section shall be promptly delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such amount shown as due on any such certificate on the next Payment Date after receipt thereof.

(e) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.10. Compensation; Breakage Payments

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

Section 2.11. Illegality; Inability to Determine Rates

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

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

(c) If, prior to the first day of any Interest Accrual Period or prior to the date of any Advance, as applicable, either (i) the Collateral Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for the applicable Advances, or (ii) the Required Lenders determine and notify the Administrative Agent that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate with respect to such Advances does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Advances, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

Section 2.12. Fees

(a) Commitment Fee. On each Payment Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Collateral Agent (for the account of the Lenders on a pro rata basis) a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) in an amount equal to the sum, for each day during the related Interest Accrual Period from and including the Closing Date to and excluding the last day of the Reinvestment Period, of the product of (i) the Commitment Fee Rate, divided by 360 and (ii) the Unused Amount, in each case for each such day during the related Interest Accrual Period.

(b) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as are mutually agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, including the fees set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter.

(c) Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator, Custodian and Securities Intermediary Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary such fees as are mutually agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary, including the fees set forth in the Collateral Administration and Agency Fee Letter.

Section 2.13. Rescission or Return of Payment

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

Section 2.14. Default Interest

During the existence and continuance of an Event of Default, at the election of the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders, all Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate until rescinded by Required Lenders. Interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 2.15. Payments Generally

(a) All amounts owing and payable to any Secured Party, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party, in respect of the Advances and other Obligations, including the principal thereof, interest, fees, indemnities, expenses or other amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Facility Document, shall be paid by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) to the applicable recipient in Dollars, in immediately available funds, on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and all without counterclaim, setoff, deduction, defense, abatement, suspension or deferment. Each Lender shall provide wire instructions to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent. Other than with respect to payments on a Payment Date, payments must be received by the Collateral Agent on or prior to 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day to be remitted by the Collateral Agent on such Business Day to the Lenders; provided that payments received by the Collateral Agent after 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day will be deemed to have been paid on the next following Business Day. At no time will the Collateral Agent have any duty (express or implied) to fund (or front or advance) any amount owing by the Borrower hereunder.

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

Section 2.16. Replacement of Lenders

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that (i) any Affected Person shall request reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.09 (each such Affected Person, a “Potential Terminated Lender”), (ii) the Borrower shall be required to reimburse any Affected Person for any Non-Excluded Taxes or pay any additional amounts to any Affected Person or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Affected Person pursuant to Section 12.03 (each such Affected Person, also a “Potential Terminated Lender”), (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (such Defaulting Lender, also, a “Potential Terminated Lender”) or (iv) any Lender does not give or approve any consent, waiver or amendment that requires the approval of all Lenders or all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof and has been approved by the Required Lenders (such non-consenting Lender, also, a “Potential Terminated Lender”), the Borrower, at its sole expense and effort, shall be permitted, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Potential Terminated Lender, to require such Potential Terminated Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.09 and 12.03) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Facility Documents to an assignee permitted pursuant to Section 12.06 (a “Replacement Lender”) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if such Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(A) such Potential Terminated Lender shall have received 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 Facility Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.10 but subject to Section 2.17) from the Replacement Lender (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Sections 2.09 or 12.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(D) in the case of an assignment based on clause (iv) above, the Replacement Lender shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

(b) Each Potential Terminated Lender hereby agrees to take all actions reasonably necessary, at the sole expense of the Borrower, to permit a Replacement Lender to succeed to its rights and obligations hereunder. Upon the effectiveness of any such assignment to a Replacement Lender, (i) such Replacement Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, (ii) such Replacement Lender shall have a Commitment in the amount not less than the Terminated Lender’s Commitment assumed by it and (iii) the Terminated Lender shall have no further Commitment hereunder.

(c) No Lender shall be required to make any assignment or delegation pursuant to Section 2.16(a) if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.17. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(b), to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 12.01.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists and is continuing), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Event of Default exists and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.12(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances Outstanding to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

The Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that upon the sale or disposition of any Collateral by the Borrower in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the security interest of the Secured Parties in such Collateral shall immediately and automatically terminate without further act, the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide notice of the same to the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall, on behalf of the Secured Parties and at the expense of the Borrower, execute, deliver and file or authorize for filing such instruments as the Borrower shall prepare and reasonably request to reflect or evidence such termination.

Section 7.04. Remedies Cumulative

Each right, power, and remedy of the Agents and the other Secured Parties, or any of them, as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Agents or any other Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such Persons of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.

Section 7.05. Related Documents

(a) Each of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager hereby agrees that, to the extent not expressly prohibited by the terms of the Related Documents, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it shall (i) upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, promptly forward to the Administrative Agent all material information and notices which it receives under or in connection with the Related Documents relating to the Collateral, and (ii) upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, act and refrain from acting in respect of any request, act, decision or vote under or in connection with the Related Documents relating to the Collateral only in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent (in its reasonable discretion).

(b) No obligation or liability of the Borrower is intended to be assumed by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under or as a result of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including under any Related Document or any other agreement or document that relates to Collateral and, to the maximum extent permitted under provisions of Law, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties expressly disclaim any such assumption.

Section 7.07. Protection of Collateral

The Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and file or authorize the filing of all such UCC-1 financing statements and continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action as may be necessary to secure the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder and to:

(a) grant security more effectively on all or any portion of the Collateral;

(b) maintain, preserve and perfect any grant of security made or to be made by this Agreement including the first priority nature of the Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;

The Borrower further authorizes the Collateral Agent to file UCC-1 financing statements and continuation statements therefor, that name the Borrower as debtor and the Collateral Agent as secured party and that describes “all assets in which the debtor now or hereafter has rights” as the Collateral in which the Collateral Agent has a grant of security hereunder. Such designation shall not impose upon the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, or release or diminish, the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 7.07.

Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall, not earlier than six (6) months and not later than three (3) months prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of filing of any financing statement filed pursuant to the Existing Security Agreement authorize, deliver and file or cause to be filed an appropriate continuation statement with respect to each such financing statement.

Section 8.02. Collection Account

(a) In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent has established at the Custodian two segregated trust accounts, one of which will be designated the “Interest Collection Account” and one of which will be designated the “Principal Collection Account” (collectively, the “Collection Account”), which shall be maintained with the Custodian in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and which shall be subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall from time to time deposit into the Interest Collection Account promptly upon receipt thereof all Interest Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent and identified as such by the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Agent shall from time to time deposit into the Principal Collection Account promptly upon receipt thereof all Principal Proceeds (unless simultaneously reinvested in additional Collateral Loans in accordance with Article X or required to be deposited in the Unfunded Reserve Account pursuant to Section 8.04) received by the Collateral Agent and identified as such by the Collateral Manager. All funds deposited from time to time in the Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement shall be held by the Collateral Agent as part of the Collateral and shall be applied to the purposes herein provided.

(b) At any time when reinvestment is permitted pursuant to Article X, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower (subject to compliance with Article X) may, by delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator, direct the Collateral Agent to, and upon receipt of such certificate the Collateral Agent shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account representing Principal Proceeds (together with accrued interest received with regard to any Collateral Loan and Interest Proceeds but only to the extent used to pay for accrued interest on an additional Collateral Loan) and reinvest such funds in additional Collateral Loans in accordance with such certificate. If at any time the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account is less than the Unfunded Reserve Required Amount, the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower) may, by delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator, direct the Collateral Agent to, and upon receipt of such certificate the Collateral Agent shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account representing Principal Proceeds and remit such funds as so directed by the Collateral Manager to meet the Borrower’s funding obligations in respect of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans or Revolving Collateral Loans.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall transfer from the Collection Account for application pursuant to Section 9.01(a), on each Payment Date, the amount set forth to be so transferred in the Payment Date Report for such Payment Date.

(d) The Collateral Manager may direct the Collateral Agent to withdraw from the Collection Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Collateral Manager has, prior to such withdrawal, delivered to each Agent a report setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such Excluded Amounts and the Collateral Agent shall remit such amounts in accordance with the Collateral Manager’s written instructions.

Section 8.03. Custodian Account

In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent has established at the Custodian a single, segregated trust account, which shall be designated as the “Custodian Account”, which shall be maintained by the Custodian in accordance with the Account Control Agreement, to which any Collateral shall be credited by the Securities Intermediary and which shall be subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent.

Section 8.04. The Unfunded Reserve Account; Fundings

In accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian a single, segregated trust account, which shall be designated as the “Unfunded Reserve Account”, which shall be maintained by the Custodian in accordance with the Account Control Agreement and which shall be subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent. The only permitted deposits to or withdrawals from the Unfunded Reserve Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

On the date of acquisition by the Borrower of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loan or Revolving Collateral Loan and any Payment Date, the Collateral Manager shall instruct the Collateral Agent to withdraw funds from the Principal Collection Account for deposit into the Unfunded Reserve Account, such that the sum of the amount of funds on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account shall be equal to or greater than an amount (the “Unfunded Reserve Required Amount”) equal to:

(a) at all times during the Reinvestment Period:

(i) the aggregate unfunded commitments in respect of all Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans, multiplied by

(ii) 100% minus the Advance Rate then in effect; and

(b) on the Commitment Termination Date and at all times thereafter, the sum of:

(i) the aggregate unfunded commitments in respect of all Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans, plus

(ii) the aggregate amount of funds needed to settle purchases of Collateral Loans committed to be acquired by the Borrower prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period that have not yet settled.

During the Reinvestment Period, fundings of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans shall be made using, first, amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account (in an amount equal to the amount on deposit therein with respect to such Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loan or Revolving Collateral Loan), then available Principal Proceeds and finally, borrowing of Advances under Section 2.01. Prior to or immediately after the occurrence of the Commitment Termination Date (other than a Commitment Termination Date following the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Borrower), the Borrower may request a final Borrowing in an amount sufficient to fund the Unfunded Reserve Required Amount; provided that after giving effect to such Borrowing, the Borrowing Base Test shall be satisfied. After the Commitment Termination Date, fundings of Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans shall be made using, first, amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account, then available Principal Proceeds.

Amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Reserve Account will be available solely to cover drawdowns on the Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loans and Revolving Collateral Loans and settle purchases of Collateral Loans committed to be acquired by the Borrower prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period; provided that, to the extent that the aggregate amount of funds on deposit therein at any time exceeds the Unfunded Reserve Required Amount, the Collateral Agent shall remit such excess to the Principal Collection Account. In addition, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, funds in the Unfunded Reserve Account may be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent and deposited into the Principal Collection Account at the direction of the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.05. Account Control Agreement.

The provisions of Sections 8.02, 8.03 and 8.04 are subject to the terms of the Account Control Agreement.

Section 8.06. Funds in Covered Accounts; Reports by Collateral Agent

(a) Amounts on deposit in the Covered Accounts shall remain uninvested.

(b) The Collateral Agent agrees to give the Borrower prompt notice if any Covered Account or any funds on deposit in any Covered Account, or otherwise to the credit of a Covered Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. All Covered Accounts shall remain at all times with the Custodian.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall supply, in a timely fashion, to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager any information regularly maintained by the Collateral Agent that the Borrower or the Collateral Manager may from time to time reasonably request with respect to the Collateral Loans, the Covered Accounts and the other Collateral and provide any other requested information reasonably available to the Collateral Agent and required to be provided by Section 8.07 or to permit the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations hereunder or the Borrower’s obligations hereunder that have been delegated to the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Administrator shall promptly forward to the Collateral Manager copies of notices, periodic financial reports and other writings received by it from the Obligor of any Collateral Loan or from any Clearing Agency with respect to any Collateral Loan.

Section 8.07. Accountings

(a) Monthly. Not later than eight (8) Business Days following the twentieth (20^th) calendar day of each calendar month (other than January, April, July, and October in each year) (such twentieth calendar day, the “Monthly Reporting Date”), the Borrower shall compile and provide (or cause to be compiled and provided) to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Manager a monthly report (which includes a Borrowing Base Calculation Statement prepared by the Collateral Manager and provided to the Collateral Agent for inclusion in the Monthly Report) (each, a “Monthly Report”) in accordance with this Section 8.07. The Borrower shall compile and provide (or cause to be compiled and provided) to the Administrative Agent a loan data file (the “Data File”) for the previous monthly period ending on the Monthly Report Determination Date (containing such information agreed upon by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf), and the Administrative Agent). The Borrower shall provide (or cause to be provided) the Data File no later than eight (8) Business Days following the Monthly Reporting Date. As used herein, the “Monthly Report Determination Date” with respect to any calendar month will be the fifteenth day of the prior calendar month. The first Monthly Report shall be delivered on July 1, 2015 and shall be determined with respect to the Monthly Report Determination Date that is June 15, 2015. The Monthly Report for a calendar month shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Manager and the Administrative Agent (it being understood that the form used under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be deemed to be acceptable) and shall contain the information with respect to the Collateral Loans and Eligible Investments included in the Collateral set forth in Schedule 2 hereto, and shall be determined as of the Monthly Report Determination Date for such calendar month.

(b) Payment Date Accounting. The Borrower shall render (or cause to be rendered) an accounting (each, a “Payment Date Report”), determined as of the close of business on each Determination Date preceding a Payment Date, and shall deliver such Payment Date Report to the Agents and the Collateral Manager not later than the Business Day preceding the related Payment Date. The Payment Date Report shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Manager and the Administrative Agent (it being understood that the form used under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be deemed to be acceptable) and shall contain the information set forth in Schedule 3 hereto.

In addition, the Borrower shall provide (or cause to be provided) in each Payment Date Report a statement setting forth in reasonable detail each amendment, modification or waiver under any Related Document for each Collateral Loan that constitutes a Material Modification that became effective since the immediately preceding Payment Date Report (or, in respect of the first Payment Date Report, from the Closing Date) unless previously disclosed under Section 5.01(d)(vii) or 8.07(a).

The first Payment Date Report shall be delivered on July 27, 2015, shall be determined with respect to the Determination Date that is July 15, 2015, and shall be used in connection with the payments to be made on the Payment Date that is July 28, 2015.

(c) Failure to Provide Accounting. If the Collateral Agent shall not have received any accounting provided for in this Section 8.07 on the first Business Day after the date on which such accounting is due to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall notify the Borrower, who shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such accounting by the applicable Payment Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower has engaged the Collateral Administrator pursuant to Section 15.01 hereof to compile and provide the information and reports to be provided in this Section 8.07.

Section 8.08. Release of Collateral

(a) If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, by delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager delivered to the Collateral Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the settlement date for any sale of any item of Collateral certifying that the sale of such security is being made in accordance with Section 10.01 and such sale complies with all applicable requirements of Section 10.01, direct the Collateral Agent to release or cause to be released such item from the Lien of this Agreement and, upon receipt of such certificate, the Collateral Agent (or Custodian, as applicable) shall deliver any such item, if in physical form, duly endorsed to the broker or purchaser designated in such certificate or, if such item is a Clearing Corporation Security, cause an appropriate transfer thereof to be made, in each case against receipt of the sales price therefor as specified by the Collateral Manager in such certificate; provided that the Collateral Agent may deliver any such item in physical form for examination in accordance with street delivery custom; provided, further, that the Collateral Agent will not be deemed to have notice of an Event of Default unless it has received notice thereof.

(b) The Collateral Agent (or Custodian, as applicable) shall, upon the receipt of a certificate of the Borrower, by delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager, deliver any Collateral in accordance with such certificate, and execute such documents or instruments as are delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower and reasonably necessary to release or cause to be released such security from the Lien of this Agreement, which is set for any mandatory call or redemption or payment in full to the appropriate paying agent on or before the date set for such call, redemption or payment, in each case against receipt of the call or redemption price or payment in full thereof.

(c) As provided in Section 8.02(a), the Collateral Agent shall deposit any proceeds received by it from the disposition of a Collateral Loan in the applicable Collection Account as instructed by the Collateral Manager, unless simultaneously applied to the purchase of additional Collateral Loans as permitted under and in accordance with the requirements of this Article VIII and Article X.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that there are no Commitments outstanding and all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Facility Documents have been satisfied (other than unasserted contingent obligations), execute such documents or instruments as are delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower and reasonably necessary to release any remaining Collateral from the Lien of this Agreement.

(e) Any security, Collateral Loan or amounts that are released pursuant to Section 8.08(a) or (b) shall be automatically released from the Lien of this Agreement.

Any direction received by the Collateral Agent on or prior to 12:00 noon on any Business Day shall be effective on such Business Day and any direction received by the Collateral Agent after 12:00 noon on any Business Day, or at any time on any day that is not a Business Day, shall be effective in each case on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 8.09. Annual Independent Public Accountant’s Review.

(a) The Borrower will cause a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants or consultants specializing in securitization transactions, in each case reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (who may also render other services to the Borrower Advisors and who may include, without limitation, McGladrey & Pullen, LLP), to furnish to the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Collateral Agent within 120 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2015, (i) a report covering such fiscal year to the effect that such accountants (or consultants, as applicable) have applied certain agreed-upon procedures (as such agreed-upon procedures may be updated from time to time in response to requests of the Administrative Agent) to certain documents and records relating to the Collateral under any Facility Document, compared the information contained in a selection of Monthly Reports and Payment Date Reports delivered during the period covered by such report with such documents and records and that no matters came to the attention of such accountants that caused them to believe that such servicing was not conducted in compliance with this Article VIII, except for such exceptions as such accountants (or consultants, as applicable) shall believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such report and (ii) a report relating to such fiscal year to the effect that (x) such accountants (or consultants, as applicable) have reviewed certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Collateral, and (y) based on such examination, such accountants (or consultants, as applicable) are of the opinion that the Monthly Reports and Payment Date Reports for such year were prepared in compliance with this Agreement, except for such exceptions as such accountants (or consultants, as applicable) shall believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such report. The fees of such independent public accountants (or consultants, as applicable) shall be payable by the Borrower.

(b) In the event such independent public accountants (or consultants, as applicable) require the Collateral Custodian or Collateral Agent to agree to the procedures to be performed by such firm in any of the reports required to be prepared pursuant to this Section 8.09, the Collateral Manager shall direct the Custodian or Collateral Agent in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Custodian or Collateral Agent shall deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Collateral Manager, and the Custodian or Collateral Agent has not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Custodian, Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Collateral Agent fail within 75 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower to execute any documentation required by the independent public accountants (or consultants, as applicable) selected by the Borrower, then the Borrower shall have no obligation to furnish any report covering such fiscal year pursuant to this Section 8.09.

ARTICLE XI
THE AGENTS

Section 11.01. Authorization and Action

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

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

(c) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any officer, agent or representative thereof shall be personally liable for any action taken by any such Person in accordance with any notice given by the Required Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Facility Document even if, at the time such action is taken by any such Person, the Required Lenders or Persons purporting to be the Required Lenders are not entitled to give such notice. If any dispute or disagreement shall arise as to the allocation of any sum of money received by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any Facility Document, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver such sum to a court of competent jurisdiction and therein commence an action for interpleader.

(d) If in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action, it may request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it. If the Collateral Agent does not receive such instructions within five (5) Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action.

(e) Instructions to Collateral Agent.

(i) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action unless it has such instruction (in the form of Proper Instructions) from the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, as it reasonably deems necessary, and shall be entitled to require, upon notice to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, that Proper Instructions to it be in writing. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any action (or forbearance from action) taken pursuant to any Proper Instruction of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable.

(ii) Whenever the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to receive or obtain any communications or information pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement, it shall be entitled to receive the same in writing, in form, content and medium reasonably acceptable to it and otherwise in accordance with any applicable term of this Agreement; and whenever any report or other information is required to be produced or distributed by the Collateral Agent it shall be in form, content and medium reasonably acceptable to it and the Borrower, and otherwise in accordance with any applicable term of this Agreement.

(iii) In case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, request instructions from the Collateral Manager and may, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, request instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Collateral Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Collateral Agent shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Administrative Agent.

(f) General Standards of Care for Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding any terms herein contained to the contrary, the acceptance by the Collateral Agent of its appointment hereunder is expressly subject to the following terms, which shall govern and apply to each of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (whether or not so stated therein):

(ii) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action (or forbear from action) hereunder which might in its judgment involve any expense or any financial or other liability unless it shall be furnished with acceptable indemnification. Nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Agent to commence, prosecute or defend legal proceedings in any instance, whether on behalf of the Borrower or on its own behalf or otherwise, with respect to any matter arising hereunder, or relating to this Agreement or the services contemplated hereby.

(iii) The permissive right of the Collateral Agent to take any action hereunder shall not be construed as a duty.

(iv) The Collateral Agent may act or exercise its duties or powers hereunder through agents or attorneys-in-fact, and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for the actions or omissions of any such agent or attorney-in-fact appointed and maintained with reasonable due care.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Collateral Manager or any of their Affiliates) and independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by such Agent in good faith in accordance with such opinion and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Secured Party or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any Person for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Facility Documents; (iii) shall not have any duty to monitor, ascertain, or investigate as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, any Related Document or any notice, consent, certificate, instruction or waiver, report, statement, opinion, direction or other instrument or writing on the part of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, perfection, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Collateral (or the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens on the Collateral), this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, any Related Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document by relying on, acting upon (or by refraining from action in reliance on) any notice, consent, certificate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowing Base Calculation Statement), instruction or waiver, report, statement, opinion, direction or other instrument or writing (which may be delivered by telecopier, email, cable or telex, if acceptable to it) believed by it to be genuine and believe by it to be signed or sent by the proper party or parties; (vi) shall not be responsible to any Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties regarding the Borrower or the Collateral or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of thereof or any such other document or the financial condition of any Person or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions related to any Person or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; and (vii) shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any Person to assure that any collateral exists or is owned by any Person or is cared for, protected or insured or that any liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available with respect thereto. No Agent shall have any liability to the Borrower or any Lender or any other Person for the Borrower’s, the Collateral Manager’s, any Lender’s or any other Person’s, as the case may be, performance of, or failure to perform, any of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Facility Document.

(b) No Agent shall be liable for the actions of omissions of any other Agent (including concerning the application of funds), or under any duty to monitor or investigate compliance on the part of any other Agent with the terms or requirements of this Agreement, any Facility Document or any Related Document, or their duties hereunder or thereunder. Each Agent shall be entitled to assume the due authority of any signatory and genuineness of any signature appearing on any instrument or document it may receive (including each Notice of Borrowing received hereunder). No Agent shall be liable for any action taken in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action (including for refusing to exercise discretion or for withholding its consent in the absence of its receipt of, or resulting from a failure, delay or refusal on the part of the Required Lenders to provide, written instruction to exercise such discretion or grant such consent from the Required Lenders, as applicable). No Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless it shall be proven by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the relevant facts. Nothing herein or in any Facility Document or Related Document shall obligate any Agent to advance, expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action which in its reasonable judgment may cause it to incur any expense or financial or other liability for which it is not adequately indemnified. No Agent shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action. No Agent shall be charged with knowledge or notice of any matter unless actually known to a Responsible Officer of such Agent, or unless and to the extent written notice of such matter is received by such Agent at its address in accordance with Section 12.02. Any permissive grant of power to an Agent hereunder shall not be construed to be a duty to act. Neither Agent shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper or document. Neither Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except in the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.

(c) No Agent shall be responsible or liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations imposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters.

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

(e) Each Lender acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Agent has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by either Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Secured Party as to any matter. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon such Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Facility Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the Facility Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager. Neither Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or Collateral Manager which may come into the possession of such Agent.

Section 11.04. Indemnification

Each of the Lenders agrees to indemnify and hold the Agents harmless (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to Section 12.04 or otherwise) from and against any and all Liabilities which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agents in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document or any action taken or omitted by the Agents under this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent for any portion of such Liabilities resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; and provided, further, that no Lender shall be liable to the Collateral Agent for any portion of such Liabilities unless such Liabilities are imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Collateral Agent as a result of any action taken, or not taken, by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Lenders, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise or to honor any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement at the request or direction of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders (or other Persons authorized or permitted under the terms hereof to make such request or give such direction) pursuant to this Agreement or any other Facility Document, unless the Administrative Agent or such Lenders shall have provided to the Collateral Agent security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses (including reasonable and documented attorney’s fees and expenses) and Liabilities which might reasonably be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction, whether such indemnity is provided under this Section 11.04 or otherwise). Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees, for the benefit of the Securities Intermediary, to Section 5(a)(iii) of the Account Control Agreement. The rights of the Agents and obligations of the Lenders under or pursuant to this Section 11.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and the earlier removal or resignation of the any Agent hereunder.

Section 11.05. Successor Agents

(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 11.05, each Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. If an Agent shall resign, then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent. If for any reason a successor agent is not so appointed and does not accept such appointment within thirty (30) days of notice of resignation, such Agent may appoint a successor agent. Any successor Administrative Agent and any successor Collateral Agent shall be a U.S. Person and shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America or an Affiliate of such bank. The appointment of any successor Agent shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the consent of the Borrower to any such appointment shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing. Any resignation of an Agent shall be effective upon the appointment of a successor agent pursuant to this Section 11.05. After the effectiveness of any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents and the provisions of this Article XI shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents.

(b) Any Person (i) into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the corporate trust properties (in the case of Citibank Agency & Trust) and assets of the Collateral Agent substantially as a whole, shall be the successor to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.

(c) Subject to the terms of this Section 11.05(c) the Administrative Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Collateral Manager, Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, remove and discharge the Collateral Agent from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents without cause at any time. If the Collateral Agent shall be removed pursuant to this Section 11.05(c), then the Administrative Agent during such thirty (30) day period shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent. The appointment of any successor Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c) shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Required Lenders. If the Collateral Agent is removed pursuant to this Section 11.05(c), the Collateral Agent shall be removed in all other capacities in which it serves under this Agreement and under any of the other Facility Documents (including in its capacity as Custodian), but not in its capacities as Administrative Agent or Lender, if applicable. Any removal of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c) shall be effective upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c) and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor. After the effectiveness of any removal of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 11.05(c), the Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents (but not in its capacities as Administrative Agent or Lender, if applicable) and the provisions of this Article XII and Section 11.05(c) shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents. In the event a successor Collateral Agent shall not be appointed within such thirty (30) day period, the Collateral Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.

ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.01. No Waiver; Modifications in Writing

Section 12.03. Taxes

(a) Any and all payments by, or on account of any obligation of, the Borrower to or for the account of any Secured Party under any Facility Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes with respect thereto, unless required by Law. If the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent shall be required by Law (or by the interpretation or administration thereof) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable by it hereunder, under any Note or under any other Facility Document to any Secured Party, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 12.03) such Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no deductions of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to timely pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (other than Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment except for an assignment made pursuant to Sections 2.16 or 12.03(g)) which arise from any payment made by the Borrower hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Facility Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes or under any other Facility Document (collectively, the “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each of the Secured Parties for (i) the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 12.03) paid by any Secured Party (or required to be deducted from payments to a Secured Party) and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising from Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant taxing Governmental Authority. Payments by Borrower pursuant to this indemnification shall be made promptly following the date the Secured Party makes written demand therefor, which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate describing in reasonable detail the basis thereof. Such certificate shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error.

100

(d) Promptly after the date of any payment of Taxes pursuant to this Section 12.03 or Other Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to each Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant taxing Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof (or other evidence of payment as may be reasonably satisfactory to such Agent).

(e) If any payment is made by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) to or for the account of any Secured Party after deduction for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, and an indemnity payment or additional amounts are paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 12.03, then, if such Secured Party in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith, determines that it is entitled to a refund of such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, such Secured Party shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice apply for such refund and reimburse the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager, as applicable) such amount of any refund received (net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred) as such Secured Party shall determine in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith, to be attributable to the relevant Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that in the event that such Secured Party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority, the Borrower agrees to return the refund to such Secured Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will the Secured Party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place the Secured Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Secured Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.

(f) Each Secured Party and each Participant that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement or any Facility Document shall deliver to the Borrower and each Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Secured Party and each Participant, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or any Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Agent as will enable the Borrower or such Agent to determine whether or not such Secured Party or Participant 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 subclauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 12.03(f) and Section 12.03(h)) shall not be required if in the Secured Party’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Secured Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Secured Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) Each Secured Party and each Participant that is a U.S. person as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code hereby agrees that it shall, no later than the Closing Date or, in the case of a Secured Party or a Participant which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 12.06, the date upon which such Secured Party becomes a party hereto or Participant herein, deliver to the Borrower and each Agent, if applicable, two accurate, complete and signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor form, certifying that such Secured Party or Participant is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding Tax.

(ii) Each Secured Party or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside than the United States (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, no later than the date on which such Secured Party becomes a party hereto or a Participant herein pursuant to Section 12.06, deliver to the Borrower and each Agent two properly completed and duly executed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, in each case (a) claiming a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax, or (b) if, due to a change in law occurring after the date of this Agreement, such Non-U.S. Lender is not entitled to a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax, to the extent that such Non-U.S. Lender is legally entitled to do so, claiming a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding Tax, in each case, with respect to payments of interest hereunder.

101

(iii) In addition, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, such Non-U.S. Lender hereby represents that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), and such Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Agent in the event any such representation is no longer accurate.

(iv) The forms listed under this Section 12.03(f) shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement or Participant herein and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender designates a New Lending Office. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender agrees that, from time to time after the Closing Date, such Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver the forms described above, as applicable, as promptly as practicable after (i) receipt of a reasonable written request therefor from the Borrower or an Agent or (ii) when a lapse in time or change in circumstance renders a previously provided form or certificate obsolete or inaccurate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.03, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form after the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 12.03(f) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(g) If any Secured Party requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to such Secured Party or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Secured Party or to indemnify such Secured Party pursuant to this Section 12.03, then such Secured Party shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such Secured Party determines, in its sole discretion that such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 12.03 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Secured Party to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Secured Party. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Secured Party in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(h) If a payment made to a Secured Party under this Agreement or any Facility Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Secured Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Secured Party shall deliver to the Borrower and each Agent such documentation prescribed by Law or as is reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Agent sufficient for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Secured Party has complied with such applicable reporting requirements or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(i) Nothing in this Section 12.03 shall be construed to require any Secured Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(j) Each Lender shall severally indemnify each Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified such Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.06(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by such Agent in connection with any Facility Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the applicable Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes each Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Facility Document or otherwise payable by such Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to such Agent under this paragraph (j).

102

In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s equityholders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party hereto. The Borrower shall not have any liability hereunder to any Indemnified Party to the extent an Indemnified Party affects any settlement of a matter that is (or could be) subject to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Borrower. In no case shall the Borrower be responsible for any Indemnified Party’s lost revenues or lost profits or for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages.

Section 12.06. Assignability

(a) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 12.06, each Lender may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, assign to any Person all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Advances Outstanding or interests therein owned by it, together with ratable portions of its Commitment); provided that such consent shall be deemed to have been granted by the Borrower if the Borrower shall not have objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of any such request for consent; and provided, further, that:

104

(i) each of the Borrower’s and the Administrative Agent’s consent to any such assignment (A) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (B) shall not be required if the assignee is (1) a Lender or any of its Affiliates or (2) managed by a Lender or any of its Affiliates; and

(ii) unless such assignment is to a Person that is a Competitor, the Borrower’s consent to any such assignment pursuant to this Section 12.06(a) shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) an Assignment and Acceptance and the applicable tax forms required by Sections 12.03(f) and 12.03(h), together with administrative details for the applicable assignee (if such assignee is not a current Lender). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.06, (x) no assignment by any Lender to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates shall be permitted unless each Lender has been offered the opportunity to participate in any such assignment on a pro rata basis on the same terms, and (y) no assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender, any Competitor, a natural person or any Person that, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (y).

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

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to Participants in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Borrower, the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian and the Securities Intermediary 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, and (D) each Participant shall have agreed to be bound by this Section 12.06(c), Section 12.06(e), Section 12.09 and Section 12.16. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any Fundamental Amendment. Sections 2.09, 2.10, and 12.03 shall apply to each Participant as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (a) of this Section; provided that (x) such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.16, 12.03(f) and 12.03(h) as if it were an assignee under clause (a) of this Section and (y) no Participant shall be entitled to any amount under Section 2.09, 2.10, or 12.03 which is greater than the amount the related Lender would have been entitled to under any such Sections or provisions if the applicable participation had not occurred.

(ii) In the event that any Lender sells participations in any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender as nonfiduciary agent for the Borrower shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Advances held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Advance which is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). An Advance may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each Note, if any, shall expressly so provide). The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower to the extent necessary for the Borrower to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1 of the United States Treasury Regulations or for the Borrower, any Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian or the Securities Intermediary to satisfy any information reporting requirement with respect to payments made to such Participant. 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.

105

(d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of and acting solely for this purpose as the nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address specified in Section 12.02 or such other address as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Lenders, a copy of this Agreement and each signature page hereto and each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances Outstanding maintained by each Lender under this Agreement (and any stated interest thereon). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian, the Securities Intermediary and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. An Advance (and a Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each Note, if any, shall expressly so provide) and compliance with this Section 12.06.

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

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.06, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or security interest granted to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

If an original “security” or “instrument” as defined in Section 8-102 and Section 9-102(a)(47) of the UCC, respectively, is or shall be or become available with respect to any Collateral Loan to be held by the Custodian under this Agreement, it shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrower to make or cause delivery thereof to the Custodian, and the Custodian shall not be under any obligation at any time to determine whether any such original “security” or “instrument” has been or is required to be issued or made available in respect of any Collateral Loan or to compel or cause delivery thereof to the Custodian.

If the Collateral Administrator does not receive such instructions within two (2) Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Administrator may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action, provided that the Collateral Administrator shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, notify the Collateral Manager of which course of action, if any, it has decided to take.

The Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed hereunder, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action.

(e) The Custodian may consult with, and obtain advice from, legal counsel selected in good faith with respect to any question as to any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, or any matter relating hereto, and the written opinion or advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Custodian in good faith in accordance with the opinion and directions of such counsel; the reasonable cost of such services shall be reimbursed pursuant to Section 15.04 below.

(f) The Collateral Administrator shall not be deemed to have notice of any fact, claim or demand with respect hereto unless actually known by an officer charged with responsibility for administering this Agreement or unless (and then only to the extent) received in writing by the Collateral Administrator and specifically referencing this Agreement.

(g) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Administrator to expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action (or forbear from action) hereunder which might in its judgment involve any expense or any financial or other liability unless it shall be furnished with acceptable indemnification. Nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Administrator to commence, prosecute or defend legal proceedings in any instance, whether on behalf of the Borrower or on its own behalf or otherwise, with respect to any matter arising hereunder, or relating to this Agreement or the services contemplated hereby.

(h) The permissive right of the Collateral Administrator to take any action hereunder shall not be construed as a duty.

(i) The Collateral Administrator may act or exercise its duties or powers hereunder through agents or attorneys, and the Collateral Administrator shall not be liable or responsible for the actions or omissions of any such agent or attorney appointed and maintained with reasonable due care.

(j) The Collateral Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations imposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters.

(k) All indemnifications contained in this Agreement in favor of the Collateral Administrator shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(l) Each of the protections, reliances, indemnities and immunities offered to the Collateral Agent in Article XI shall be afforded to the Collateral Administrator.

(m) 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 or any other Facility Document or Related Document. 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 by any Person under any Facility Document or Related Document. The Collateral Administrator shall not be responsible to any Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties regarding the Borrower or the Collateral or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of thereof or any such other document or the financial condition of any Person or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions related to any Person or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. The Collateral Administrator shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any Person to assure that any collateral exists or is owned by any Person or is cared for, protected or insured or that any liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available with respect thereto.

(b) The Collateral Administrator may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager and the Lenders not less than 90 days prior to such resignation.

(c) The Collateral Administrator may be removed at any time by the Administrative Agent (i) upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice (with the prior written consent of the Collateral Manager) or (ii) at any time if (A) an Event of Default or Collateral Manager Event shall have occurred and be continuing, or (B) the Collateral Administrator shall become incapable of acting or shall become the subject of an Insolvency Event. Notice of any such removal shall be sent by the Administrative Agent to the Collateral Administrator, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Collateral Manager.

124

(d) The Collateral Administrator may be removed at any time by the Collateral Manager upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice (with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent).

(e) If the Collateral Administrator shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Collateral Administrator for any reason (other than resignation), the Borrower shall, promptly after becoming aware of such resignation, removal, incapacity or vacancy, appoint a successor collateral administrator by written instrument, executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, one copy of which shall be delivered to the retiring Collateral Administrator and one copy to the successor Collateral Administrator, together with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; provided that such successor Collateral Administrator shall be appointed only upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and, so long as no Collateral Manager Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Manager (in each case which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the case of a resignation by the Collateral Administrator, if no successor Collateral Administrator shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Collateral Administrator shall not have been delivered to the resigning Collateral Administrator and the Administrative Agent within 90 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Administrative Agent may appoint a successor Collateral Administrator.

Section 15.06. Acceptance and Appointment by Successor

Each successor Collateral Administrator appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the retiring Collateral Administrator an instrument accepting such appointment. Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation or removal of the retiring Collateral Administrator shall become effective and such successor Collateral Administrator, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Collateral Administrator; but, on request of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent or the successor Collateral Administrator, such retiring Collateral Administrator shall (i) execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Collateral Administrator all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Collateral Administrator and (ii) execute and deliver such further documents and instruments and take such further action as may be reasonably requested in order to effect the transfer of the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the Collateral Administrator hereunder.

Without limiting the foregoing, after the receipt of a Block Notice, the parties hereto agree that the Lenders shall indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Administrator and its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all Losses incurred as a result of the Collateral Administrator’s compliance with the Collateral Agent’s or Administrative Agent’s (each acting at the direction of the Lenders) direction or instruction in connection with this Agreement (except to the extent due to the Collateral Administrator’s willful misconduct or gross negligence) solely to the extent that such Losses shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower.
