Section 2.01 Variable Funding Note and Advances.

(a) Variable Funding Note. The Borrower has heretofore delivered or shall, on the date hereof (and on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth), deliver, to each Lender Agent, at the address set forth on Annex A to this Agreement, and on the effective date of any Joinder Supplement, to each additional Lender Agent, at the address set forth in the applicable Joinder Supplement, a duly executed variable funding note (the “Variable Funding Note”), in substantially the form of Exhibit H, in an aggregate face amount equal to the applicable Lender’s Commitment as of the Closing Date or the effective date of any Joinder Supplement, as applicable, and otherwise duly completed. Interest shall accrue on the Variable Funding Note, and the Variable Funding Note shall be payable, as described herein.

(b) Advances. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, from time to time from the Closing Date until the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Lenders shall make Advances under the Variable Funding Notes, secured by the Collateral Portfolio, to the Borrower. Under no circumstances shall any Lender be required to make any Advance if after giving effect to such Advance and the addition to the Collateral Portfolio of the Eligible Loans being acquired by the Borrower using the proceeds of such Advance, (i) an Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom or an Unmatured Event of Default exists or would result therefrom or (ii) a Borrowing Base Deficiency would exist. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall be

-49-

obligated to provide the Borrower with aggregate funds in connection with an Advance that would exceed the lesser of (x) such Lender’s unused Commitment then in effect and (y) the aggregate unused Commitments then in effect.

(c) Notations on Variable Funding Note. Each Lender Agent is hereby authorized to enter on a schedule attached to the Variable Funding Note with respect to each Conduit Lender and each Institutional Lender a notation (which may be computer generated) with respect to each Advance under the Variable Funding Note made by the applicable Lender of: (i) the date and principal amount thereof, and (ii) each repayment of principal thereof, and any such recordation shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. The failure of any Lender Agent to make any such notation on the schedule attached to any Variable Funding Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with their respective terms as set forth herein.

Section 2.02 Procedure for Advances.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.01(b), the Borrower may request an Advance from the Lenders by delivering at the specified times the information and documents set forth in this Section 2.02.

(b) No later than 3:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day and not more than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Advance Date, the Borrower shall, or shall cause the Collateral Manager to, deliver:

(i) to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian) written notice of such proposed Advance Date (including a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate updated to the date such Advance is requested and giving pro forma effect to the Advance requested and the use of the proceeds thereof);

(ii) to the Administrative Agent a wire disbursement and authorization form, to the extent not previously delivered; and

(iii) to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian) a duly completed Notice of Borrowing which shall (A) specify the desired amount of such Advance, which amount must be at least equal to $500,000 (or, with respect to any Delayed Draw Loan or Revolving Loan, the amount of the draw request made by the applicable Obligor), to be allocated to each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, (B) specify the proposed Advance Date for such Advance, (C) specify the Loan(s), if any, to be financed on such Advance Date (including the appropriate file number, a description of the Obligor, original loan balance, Outstanding Balance, Assigned Value and Purchase Price for each Loan and identifying each Loan by type and proposed Advance Rate applicable to each such Loan), (D) with respect to any Delayed Draw Loan or Revolving Loan, include the Unfunded Exposure Amount with respect to such Loan and the draw request made by the applicable Obligor, (E) specify the Interest Period for such Advance (which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(h)) and (F) include a

-50-

representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance described in Article III hereof have been met. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable; provided that upon receipt of notice of a Eurodollar Disruption Event, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for an Advance of, or continuation of an Advance at LIBOR.

(iv) If any Notice of Borrowing is received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to the Business Day for which such Advance is requested or on a day that is not a Business Day, such Notice of Borrowing shall be deemed to be received by the Administrative Agent at 9:00 a.m. on the next Business Day.

(v) Promptly following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.02, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Advance to be made in connection therewith and the Interest Period therefor.

(c) If no Interest Period is specified in a Notice of Borrowing, the requested Advance shall have an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Borrower may from time to time irrevocably elect, on not less than one Business Day’s notice, that all, or any portion in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 of any Advance, be continued as Advance for a new Interest Period before the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto. Such Advance shall, on such last day, automatically convert to an Advance for such newly elected Interest Period; provided, that each such continuation shall be prorated among the applicable outstanding Advances of all Lenders that have made such Advances.

(d) On the proposed Advance Date, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.01(b) and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, (i) each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds, at such bank or other location reasonably designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time, an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the least of (A) the amount requested by the Borrower for such Advance, (B) the aggregate unused Commitments then in effect and (C) an amount after giving effect to which no Borrowing Base Deficiency would exist (after giving effect to the use of such Advance for the purchase of Eligible Loans) and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall make the aggregate amount received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at such bank or other location reasonably designated by Borrower in the Notice of Borrowing given pursuant to this Section 2.02.

(e) On each Advance Date, the obligation of each Lender to remit its Pro Rata Share of any such Advance shall be several from that of each other Lender and the failure of any Conduit Lender or Institutional Lender to so make such amount available to the Borrower shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder.

(f) Subject to Section 2.04 and the other terms, conditions, provisions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may (i) borrow, repay or prepay and reborrow Advances without any penalty, fee or premium on and after the Closing Date and prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period and (ii) repay or prepay Advances without any penalty, on and after the Closing Date and prior to the Facility Maturity Date.

-51-

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Advance that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Advance, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with this Section and, in reliance upon such assumption, the Administrative Agent may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Advance available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Advance. Nothing in this paragraph shall relieve any Lender of its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder, and shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(h) Limitation on Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Advance if (x) the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the Facility Maturity Date or (y) after giving effect to such Advance, more than eight (8) Interest Periods would be in effect.

Section 2.03 Yield and Non-Usage Fees.

(a) The Borrower shall pay Yield to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.04 for pro rata distribution to each applicable Lender (either directly or through the applicable Lender Agent).

(b) The Borrower shall pay Non-Usage Fee to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.04 for pro rata distribution to each applicable Lender (either directly or through the applicable Lender Agent). The Administrative Agent shall determine the Non-Usage Fee accrued with respect to each Lender’s unutilized Commitment to be paid by the Borrower on each Payment Date for the related Collection Period and shall advise the Borrower Advisors and the Collateral Agent thereof on the third Business Day prior to such Payment Date.

(c) Any determination that a Eurodollar Disruption Event has occurred shall be communicated to the Borrower by written notice from the Administrative Agent promptly after the Administrative Agent learns of such occurrence.

Section 2.04 Remittance Procedures. Subject to its ability to apply collections received to the Unfunded Exposure Account after the end of the Reinvestment Period as set forth in Section 2.18(a), the Borrower shall cause the Collateral Manager and, if it fails to do so, the Administrative Agent may, instruct the Collateral Agent, to apply funds on deposit in the

Section 2.08 Payments and Computations, Etc.

(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 2:00 p.m. on the day when due in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds to the Collection Account or such other account as is designated by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due (taking into account any grace periods) to any of the Secured Parties hereunder at 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate (other than with respect to any Advances Outstanding, which shall accrue at the Yield Rate), payable on demand, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment); provided, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. Any Obligation hereunder shall not be reduced by any distribution of any portion of Available Collections if at any time such distribution is rescinded or required to be returned by any Lender to the Borrower or any other Person for any reason. All computations of interest and all computations of Yield, Non-Usage Fees, Make-Whole Fees and other fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed, other than calculations with respect to the Base Rate, which shall be based on a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.

(b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of Yield or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be.

(c) If any Advance requested by the Borrower and approved by the Lender Agents and the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.02 is not for any reason whatsoever, except as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or failure to fund such Advance on the part of, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof, made or effectuated, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify such Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender related thereto (other than any such loss, cost or expense solely due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to

-62-

fund such Advance on the part of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof), including, without limitation, any loss (including cost of funds and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund Advances or maintain the Advances. Any such Lender shall provide to the Borrower documentation setting forth the amounts of any loss, cost or expense referred to in the previous sentence, such documentation to be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.09 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change following the date hereof (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation, administration or application arising following the date hereof of any Applicable Law (including, without limitation, any law or regulation that subjects an Affected Party to any Taxes (other than (1) Excluded Taxes and (2) Taxes imposed on payments under this Agreement) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto), in each case whether foreign or domestic or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request following the date hereof from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Lender Agent, any Liquidity Bank or any Affiliate, successor or assign thereof (each of which shall be an “Affected Party”) of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Advance (or any reduction of the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest, fee, compensation or otherwise) to any Affected Party hereunder), as the case may be, or there shall be any reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, under any other Transaction Document or any Liquidity Agreement, the Borrower shall, from time to time, after written demand by the Administrative Agent (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand), on behalf of such Affected Party, pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Affected Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such increased costs or reduced payments within thirty (30) days after such demand; provided, that the amounts payable under this Section 2.09 shall be without duplication of amounts payable under Section 2.10; provided, further, that an Affected Party claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.09 agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different lending office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Affected Party.

(b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change following the date hereof in or in the interpretation, administration or application arising following the date hereof of any law, guideline, rule or regulation, directive or request or (ii) the compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request following the date hereof, from any central bank, any Governmental Authority or agency, including, without limitation, compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or any related document or arising in connection

-63-

herewith or therewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy), by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then, from time to time, after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Affected Party such additional amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction.

(c) 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 Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then within ten days after demand by such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts payable or paid by it.

(d) In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.09, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.09, shall submit to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of such additional or increased costs, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand or receive such compensation; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be responsible for costs under this Section 2.09 arising more than 90 days prior to receipt by the Borrower of the demand from the Affected Party pursuant to this Section 2.09.

Section 2.10 Taxes.

(a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Taxes are required by Applicable Law to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Recipient (including, for purposes of this Section 2.10(a) and Section 2.10(b), any assignee, participant, or successors), then the amount payable to the applicable Recipient will be increased (the amount of such increase, an “Additional Amount”) such that every net payment received under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, after withholding for or on account of any Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes on such increase) is not less than the amount that would have been received by such Recipient had no such deduction or withholding been made. The foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts with respect to payments required to be made under this Agreement will not, however, apply with respect to (i) Taxes imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated), branch profits Taxes, or franchise Taxes imposed on the relevant Recipient, in each case, (x) by a taxing jurisdiction in which any such Recipient is organized or conducts business, or (y) as a result of any other present or former connection between such Recipient and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising as a result of such Recipient having executed, delivered or performed its

-64-

obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents), (ii) in the case of any Lender, U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (x) such Lender becomes a party hereto or (y) such Lender changes its lending office (other than pursuant to a request by the Borrower), except, in each case, to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.10, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s transferor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office, (iii) Taxes attributable to any Recipient’s failure to comply with Section 2.10(d), and (iv) any Taxes imposed under FATCA (or any amended or successor version of FATCA that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with) (“Excluded Taxes”).

(b) The Borrower will indemnify each Recipient for the full amount of Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes and are payable by such Recipient in respect of payments made under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, and for the full amount of Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.10 imposed on or paid by such Recipient, and for any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. All payments in respect of this indemnification shall be made within 10 days from the date a written invoice therefor is delivered to the Borrower, which invoice shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower of any Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the applicable Recipient, and to the Administrative Agent at the applicable address set forth on this Agreement, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Recipient and the Administrative Agent of payment thereof.

(d) (i) If any Lender is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, such Lender shall, if it is legally able to do so, deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (x) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, and at other times reasonably requested by the Borrower, two (or such other number as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Borrower) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (together with appropriate attachments) (or any successor forms), as appropriate, and (y) copies (in such numbers as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Borrower) of such additional, amended or successor forms, certificates or statements as the Borrower requests that may be required under Applicable Law to permit the Borrower to make payments hereunder for the account of such Lender without or at a reduced rate of deduction or withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes, provided, that such Lender shall not be required to deliver any form, certificate, or statement pursuant to clause (y) of this Section 2.10(d)(i) if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment the completion, execution or delivery of such form, certificate or statement would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) If a Lender is a United States Person (as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a party to this

-65-

Agreement, or at other times reasonably requested by the Borrower, two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iv) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(e) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified or paid Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10, it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or Additional Amounts paid under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or Additional Amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower (and, with respect to the obligations to provide refunds of amounts paid under this Section 2.10 pursuant to subsection (e), the other parties) contained in this Section 2.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

-66-

Section 2.11 Assignment of Certain Documents. The Borrower hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties to secure the Obligations hereunder, all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to, but none of its obligations under, the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Management Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed thereunder or in connection therewith. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby assigns collaterally to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to secure the Obligations its right to indemnification under Section 9.1 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Borrower confirms that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Management Agreement and any UCC financing statements filed thereunder or in connection therewith for the benefit of the Secured Parties, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. The parties hereto agree that such collateral assignment to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall automatically terminate upon the Collection Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Management Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that the assignment of the Management Agreement provided for in this Section 2.11 does not include an assignment of the Borrower’s right to terminate the Management Agreement or the Collateral Manager’s rights and responsibilities thereunder.

Section 2.12 Grant of a Security Interest. To secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations and the performance by the Borrower of all of the covenants and obligations to be performed by it pursuant to this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, the Borrower hereby grants a security interest to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the obligations under) all of the Collateral Portfolio, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower, and wherever the same may be located. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Portfolio shall not include any Excluded Amounts, and the Borrower does not hereby assign, pledge or grant a security interest in any such amounts. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Collateral Portfolio to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral Portfolio shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral Portfolio and (c) none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender (nor its successors and assigns), any Lender Agent, any Liquidity Bank nor any Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral Portfolio by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender (nor its successors and assigns), any Lender Agent, any Liquidity Bank nor any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

Section 2.13 Evidence of Debt. (a) The Administrative Agent shall maintain, solely for this purpose as the agent of the Borrower, at its address referred to in Section 12.02, a copy of each assignment and acceptance agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the principal amounts and

-67-

stated interest owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (the “Register”). No assignment by a Lender of its rights hereunder or under any Transaction Document shall be effective unless a corresponding entry is made in the Register pursuant to this Section 2.13(a). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Lender Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(b) Each Lender that sells a participation of its rights hereunder shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain (or cause to be maintained) a register (the “Participant Register”) on which it will record the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts and stated interest of each participant’s interest in such rights. 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. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that an interest under this Agreement with respect to which the Lender has sold a participation is maintained “in registered form” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c). The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09 and 2.10 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirement to provide certain documentation pursuant to Section 2.10(d) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.10(d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment.

Section 2.17 Repayment; Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Except as expressly permitted or required herein, including, without limitation, any repayment necessary to cure a Borrowing Base Deficiency, Advances may only be prepaid in whole or in part at the option of the Borrower at any time by delivering a Notice of Prepayment (which notice shall include a Borrowing Base Certificate) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lender Agents no later than 2:00 p.m. at least one Business Day prior to such prepayment. Upon any prepayment (x) in part, the Borrower shall also pay all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of Administrative Agent, Lender Agents and Lenders related to such prepayment and (y) in whole, the Borrower shall also pay in full all accrued and unpaid Yield, Breakage Fees (solely to the extent such prepayment occurs on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor), the applicable Prepayment Fee (solely prior to the one year anniversary of the Closing Date), if any, and all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of Administrative Agent, Lender Agents and Lenders related to such prepayment; provided that any reduction in Advances Outstanding shall be given effect only to the extent of funds remitted to pay such amounts, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. The Administrative Agent shall apply amounts received from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17(a) to the payment of any Breakage Fees and to the pro rata prepayment of the Advances Outstanding. Any notice relating to any repayment pursuant to this Section 2.17(a) shall be irrevocable.

(b) The Borrower may, at any time, upon three (3) Business Days’ prior delivery of a Notice of Reduction (which notice shall include a Borrowing Base Certificate) to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lender Agents, either (i) cause the Collection Date to occur upon payment in full of all Advances Outstanding, all accrued and unpaid Yield, any Breakage Fees (solely to the extent such prepayment occurs on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor), any Prepayment Fees (solely prior to the one year anniversary of the Closing Date), all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, Lender Agents and Lenders and all other Obligations (other than unmatured contingent indemnification obligations) or (ii) reduce in part any portion of the

-69-

Maximum Facility Amount that exceeds the sum of all Advances Outstanding, all accrued and unpaid Non-Usage Fee and/or Make-Whole Fee (pro rata with respect to the portion of the Maximum Facility Amount so reduced) and all accrued and unpaid costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, Lender Agents and Lenders relating to such partial termination. Any termination of this Agreement shall be subject to Section 12.05.

Section 2.18 Collections and Allocations.

(a) Collections. The Borrower shall cause the Collateral Manager to promptly identify any collections received as being on account of Interest Collections or Principal Collections and shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, all such Available Collections received directly by it to the Collection Account by the close of business not later than one (1) Business Day after such Interest Collection or Principal Collections are received. Upon the transfer of Available Collections to the Collection Account, the Borrower shall cause the Collateral Manager to segregate Principal Collections and Interest Collections and transfer the same to the Principal Collection Account and the Interest Collection Account, respectively; provided that, any Collections received by the Collateral Manager after the end of the Reinvestment Period shall be applied first to the Unfunded Exposure Account in the amount, if any, necessary to make the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account equal to the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount and second to the appropriate subaccount of the Collection Account as set forth above. The Borrower shall cause the Collateral Manager to report the amount of Principal Collections and Interest Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Account and the Interest Collection Account, in each case on each Reporting Date in the Collateral Management Report delivered pursuant to Section 6.07(b).

(b) Initial Deposits. On and after the Cut-Off Date with respect to any Loan, the Borrower shall cause each Borrower Advisor to deposit into the Collection Account all Available Collections received in respect of Eligible Loans being transferred to and included as part of the Collateral Portfolio on such date.

(c) Excluded Amounts. The Borrower may (or may cause the Collateral Manager to) withdraw from the applicable Controlled Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Borrower has caused the Collateral Manager to, prior to such withdrawal, deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts and the Administrative Agent agrees in writing that the form and substance of the report is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

(d) Investment of Funds. Prior to Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined in the Securities Account Control Agreement), the Borrower or the Collateral Manager may, pursuant to written instruction (which may be in the form of standing instructions), direct the Collateral Agent to invest, or cause the investment of, funds on deposit in the Controlled Accounts in Permitted Investments, from the date of this Agreement until the Collection Date. Absent any such written instruction, such funds shall not be invested. A Permitted Investment acquired with funds deposited in any Controlled Account shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding any Payment Date, and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Account Bank or

-70-

its nominee and shall be credited to a Controlled Account; provided that compliance shall be the responsibility of the Borrower and not the Collateral Agent and Account Bank. All income and gain realized from any such investment, as well as any interest earned on deposits in any Controlled Account shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Article II hereof. During the occurrence and continuation of a Borrowing Base Deficiency, the Borrower shall deposit in the Collection Account (with respect to investments made hereunder of funds held therein) an amount equal to the amount of any actual loss incurred, in respect of any such investment, promptly upon realization of such loss. None of the Account Bank, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Lender Agent or any Lender shall be liable for the amount of any loss incurred, in respect of any investment, or lack of investment, of funds held in any Controlled Account, other than with respect to fraud or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The parties hereto acknowledge that Permitted Investments may include those investments in which the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates provides services and receives reasonable compensation.

(e) Unfunded Exposure Account.

(i) If, at the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount is greater than $0, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made a timely request for an Advance pursuant to Section 2.02 in an amount equal to the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount at the end of the Reinvestment Period. All of the conditions to funding such Advance (including, without limitation, the conditions set forth in Sections 2.07(c) and 3.02) other than the absence of an Unmatured Event of Default or an Event of Default shall be deemed to have been satisfied and, on the last day of the Reinvestment Period, the Lenders shall, subject to the absence of an Unmatured Event of Default or an Event of Default, fund such requested Advance into the Unfunded Exposure Account.

(ii) Amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account may be withdrawn (A) by the Collateral Custodian pursuant to Section 2.18(e)(iii) to fund any draw requests of the relevant Obligors under any Delayed Draw Loan or Revolving Loan or (B) if the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account exceeds the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount, by the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on the Borrower’s behalf) to make a deposit into the Principal Collection Account to the extent of such excess.

(iii) On any date of determination (occurring prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period, other than a Payment Date) on which no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if the amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account are less than the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Equity Amount, the Borrower shall cause a deposit to be made in the amount of the Unfunded Exposure Equity Shortfall into the Unfunded Exposure Account within 10 Business Days of such date of determination. On any date of determination (other than a Payment Date) occurring after the Reinvestment Period or on which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if the amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account are less than the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount, the Borrower shall cause a deposit to be made in an amount necessary to cause the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account to equal the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount within 10 Business Days of such date of determination.

(iv) After the end of the Reinvestment Period, any draw request made by an Obligor under a Delayed Draw Loan or Revolving Loan, along with wiring instructions for the applicable Obligor, shall be forwarded by the Collateral Manager (on the Borrower’s behalf) to the Collateral Custodian (with a copy to the Lender) along with an instruction to the Collateral Custodian to withdraw the applicable amount from the Unfunded Exposure Account. Upon receipt of, and in accordance with, such instruction, the Collateral Custodian shall fund such draw request directly from the Unfunded Exposure Account.

-71-

(f) Rights of Withdrawal. Until the Collection Date, neither the Borrower nor any Borrower Advisor shall have any rights of direction or withdrawal, with respect to amounts held in any Controlled Account, except to the extent explicitly set forth in Section 2.04 or Section 2.19.

Section 2.19 Reinvestment of Principal Collections.

On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth as certified in writing to the Collateral Agent, the Lender Agents and Administrative Agent, prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Borrower may (or may cause the Collateral Manager), to the extent of any Principal Collections on deposit in the Principal Collection Account:

(a) withdraw such funds for the purpose of reinvesting in additional Eligible Loans to be Pledged hereunder; provided that the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) all conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 have been satisfied;

(ii) (x) no Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event has occurred or exists or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment, and (y) no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would result from such withdrawal and reinvestment; provided that if as a result of such withdrawal and reinvestment any Borrowing Base Deficiency would be decreased, such withdrawal and reinvestment will be permitted;

(iii) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.01, 4.02 and in Section 4 of the Management Agreement shall be correct in all respects on the date of such withdrawal, except to the extent relating to an earlier date;

(iv) the Borrower provides or causes the Collateral Manager to provide, same day written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by facsimile or email (to be received no later than 2:00 p.m. on such day) of the request to withdraw Principal Collections and the amount of such request;

(v) the notice required in clause (iv) above shall be accompanied by an Approval Notice, a Disbursement Request and a Borrowing Base Certificate, each executed by the Borrower and an Authorized Person of the Collateral Manager; and

(vi) the Borrower provides (or causes the Collateral Manager to provide) to the Administrative Agent by facsimile (to be received no later than 2:00 p.m. on that same day) a statement reflecting the total amount on deposit as of the opening of business on such day in the Principal Collection Account; or

-72-

(b) withdraw such funds for the purpose of making payments in respect of the Advances Outstanding at such time in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 2.17.

Upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.19 (as certified by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent), the Collateral Agent will release funds from the Principal Collection Account to the Borrower in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the amount requested and (B) the amount on deposit in the Principal Collection Account on such day.

Section 2.20 Commitment Increases and Joinder of New Lenders.

The Borrower may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, (i) add additional Persons as Lenders and/or (ii) increase the Commitment of any Lender, in each case which shall increase the Maximum Facility Amount by the amount of the Commitment of each such existing or additional Lender. Each additional Lender and its applicable Lender Agent shall become a party hereto by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a Joinder Supplement and a Transferee Letter. Along with its written consent, the Administrative Agent will deliver to the Borrower an updated Annex B reflecting the new or increased Commitment of each such existing or additional Lender. If any Lender increases its Commitment (including the amount of a new Commitment by a new Lender), such Lender shall be paid an upfront fee in an amount equal to 0.50% of such increase in its pro rata share of the Commitment.

Section 2.21 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) 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 Section 12.01;

(ii) 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, 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 Unmatured Event of Default, Facility Amortization Event or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this

-73-

Agreement; fourth, so long as no Unmatured Event of Default, Facility Amortization Event or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

(iii) during any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to make Advances, the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to be zero; and

(iv) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Non-Usage Fee or Make-Whole Fee for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(b) If the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.21(a)(iii) above), 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 Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; 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.

(i) such Underlying Collateral is in compliance in all material respects with applicable Environmental Laws; and

(ii) there are no circumstances present at such Underlying Collateral relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation would reasonably be expected to be required by the owner, occupier or operator of the Underlying Collateral under applicable federal, state or local law or regulation.

-105-

In the event that the Phase I or other environmental assessment first obtained by the Borrower with respect to Underlying Collateral indicates that such Underlying Collateral may not be in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws or that hazardous materials may be present but does not definitively establish such fact, the Borrower shall immediately sell or substitute the related Loan in accordance with Section 2.07.

(b) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to sell all of the Collateral Portfolio on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for the assets constituting the Collateral Portfolio may not be liquid. Accordingly, the Administrative Agent may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any of the Collateral Portfolio, and nothing contained herein shall obligate the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) to liquidate any of the Collateral Portfolio on the date the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7.01 or to liquidate all of the Collateral Portfolio in the same manner or on the same Business Day.

(c) If the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent proposes to sell the Collateral Portfolio or any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, at the request of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager shall make available to (i) the Administrative Agent, on a timely basis, all information (including any information that the Borrower and the Collateral Manager is required by Applicable Law or contract to be kept confidential) relating to the Collateral Portfolio subject to sale, including,

-115-

without limitation, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials requested by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) each prospective bidder, on a timely basis, all reasonable information relating to the Collateral Portfolio subject to sale, including, without limitation, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant compliance certificates and any other materials requested by each such bidder.

(d) The Borrower agrees (and, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree) that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral Portfolio may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral Portfolio or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and the Borrower, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral Portfolio marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral Portfolio as an entirety or in such parcels as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent) or such court may determine.

(e) Any amounts received from any sale or liquidation of the Collateral Portfolio pursuant to this Section 7.02 in excess of the Obligations will be applied by the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Administrative Agent) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04(c), or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(f) The Administrative Agent, the Lender Agents and the Lenders shall have, in addition to all the rights and remedies provided herein and provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of any applicable state, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), all rights and remedies available to the Lenders at law, in equity or under any other agreement between any Lender and the Borrower.

(g) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

(h) The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at is expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, including without limitation the following powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral Portfolio in connection with any such sale or other

-116-

disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (d) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent or all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.

(i) After the declaration of the Facility Maturity Date, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall cause each Borrower Advisor to take such action as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Collateral Portfolio; provided, that the Administrative Agent may, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred but solely after a failure of the Collateral Manager to make any such notifications within 10 Business Days of Administrative Agent’s written demand therefor, notify any Obligor with respect to any Collateral Portfolio of the assignment of such Collateral Portfolio to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or account designated by the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may enforce collection of any such Collateral Portfolio, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

ARTICLE VIII.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.01 Indemnities by the Borrower.

(a) Without limiting any other rights which the Affected Parties, the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral Custodian or any of their respective Affiliates may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Affected Parties, the Secured Parties, Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral Custodian and each of their respective Affiliates, assigns, officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”), awarded against or actually incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or having an interest in the Collateral Portfolio or in respect of any Loan included in the Collateral Portfolio; provided that, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that any Indemnified Amount is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

-117-

(b) Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 8.01 shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party on the Payment Date immediately following the Administrative Agent’s written demand therefor (which demand shall be on or before the Determination Date related to such Payment Date) on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party (and the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts). The Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Indemnified Party making a request for indemnification under this Section 8.01, shall submit to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the computations of the Indemnified Amounts with respect to which such indemnification is requested, which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 8.01 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(d) If the Borrower has made any payments in respect of Indemnified Amounts to the Administrative Agent on behalf of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.01 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Borrower, without interest.

(e) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.01 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.02 Notices.

Each applicable Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Borrower under Section 8.01 within a reasonable time after such Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by such Indemnified Party relating to the claim giving rise to the Indemnified Amounts.

Section 8.03 Legal Proceedings.

In the event an Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action, claim, or legal, governmental or administrative proceeding (an “Action”) for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of the nature and particulars of the Action; provided that its failure to do so shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure has a material adverse effect on the Borrower. Upon written notice to the Indemnified Party acknowledging in writing that the indemnification provided hereunder applies to the Indemnified Party in connection with the Action (subject to the exclusion in the first sentence of Section 8.01), the Borrower may

-118-

assume the defense of the Action at its expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel in connection with the Action, and the Borrower shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party after the Borrower has assumed the defense of the Action as described in the prior sentence; provided that if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnified Party and the Borrower in connection with the Action, or that the Borrower is not conducting the defense of the Action in a manner reasonably protective of the interests of the Indemnified Party, the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Borrower; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not, in connection with any one Action or separate but substantially similar or related Actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (and any required local counsel) for such Indemnified Party, which firm (and local counsel, if any) shall be designated in writing to the Borrower by the Indemnified Party. If the Borrower elects to assume the defense of the Action, it shall have full control over the conduct of such defense; provided that the Borrower and its counsel shall, as reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party or its counsel, consult with and keep them informed with respect to the conduct of such defense. The Borrower shall not settle an Action without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement provides for the full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in connection with the Action. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in connection with the defense of the Action.

Section 8.04 After-Tax Basis. Indemnification under Section 8.01 shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any Tax consequences to the Indemnified Party of the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder, including the effect of such Tax or refund on the amount of Tax measured by net income or profits that is or was payable by the Indemnified Party.

ARTICLE IX.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDER AGENTS

Section 9.01 The Administrative Agent.

(a) Appointment. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each Lender Agent and each Secured Party. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party further authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or Lender Agent, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or

-119-

otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

(c) Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for, solely with respect to the Borrower, its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Lender, Lender Agent and each Secured Party hereby waives any and all claims against the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for, solely with respect to the Borrower, its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower and the Seller), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of any Borrower Party or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or the Borrower Advisors; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

(d) Actions by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lender Agents as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders and Lender Agents against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or consent of the

-120-

Lender Agents; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. In the event the Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender Agent pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten Business Days of such Person’s receipt of such request, then such Lender or Lender Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.

(e) Notice of Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender, Lender Agent, the Borrower or any Borrower Advisor referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Event of Default,” “Notice of Unmatured Event of Default” or “Notice of Facility Amortization Event,” as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 9.01(c)) take such action with respect to such Event of Default, Unmatured Event of Default or Facility Amortization Event as may be requested by the Lender Agents acting jointly or as the Administrative Agent shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lender Agents.

(f) Credit Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Seller, the Borrower Advisors or any of their respective Affiliates or review or approval of any of the Collateral Portfolio, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates to any Lender Agent as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender Agent and each Secured Party hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender Agent with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Seller, the Borrower Advisors or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

-121-

(g) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender Agent agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Borrower Advisors), ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Share of its related Lender, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any action taken or omitted or decision made by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder; provided that the Lender Agents shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Lender Agents shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Article IX. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Agent agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Share of its related Lender, promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Lender Agents or Lenders hereunder and/or thereunder and to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or the Borrower Advisors.

(h) Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time, effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, by giving at least thirty (30) days’ written notice thereof to each Lender Agent and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with cause by the Lender Agents acting jointly. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Lender Agents acting jointly shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided that, so long as no Unmatured Event of Default, Event of Default, Unmatured Facility Amortization Event or Facility Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent shall require the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each Lender Agent agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be either (i) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (ii) an Affiliate of such a bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

-122-

(i) Succession of Administrative Agent upon Payment of Obligations. Upon payment in full of the Obligations due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the successor Administrative Agent shall, without further action, succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and Capital One shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may appoint a successor Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be either (i) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (ii) an Affiliate of such a bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

(j) Payments by the Administrative Agent. Unless specifically allocated to a specific Lender Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Agents shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lender Agents in accordance with their related Lender’s respective Pro Rata Shares in the applicable Advances Outstanding, or if there are no Advances Outstanding in accordance with their related Lender’s most recent Commitments, on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to each Lender Agent on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such Lender Agent not later than the following Business Day.

(k) Platform. The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make Syndicate Communications available to the Lenders by posting such Syndicate Communications on Debtdomain™, IntraLinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (collectively, the “Platform”). The Platform is provided by the Administrative Agent “as is” and “as available”. The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Syndicate Communications or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Syndicate Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Syndicate Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability

-123-

to the Borrower, any Lenders or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or any Agent Party’s transmission or posting of Obligor materials through the Platform or via email, except to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

Section 9.02 The Lender Agents.

(a) Authorization and Action. Each Lender, respectively, hereby designates and appoints its applicable Lender Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under each other Transaction Document, and authorizes such Lender Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Lender Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. No Lender Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, or any fiduciary relationship with its related Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of such Lender Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist for such Lender Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, each Lender Agent shall act solely as agent for its related Lender and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Borrower or the Borrower Advisors or any of the Borrower’s or the Borrower Advisor’s successors or assigns. No Lender Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes such Lender Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or Applicable Law. The appointment and authority of each Lender Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations. Each Lender Agent hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file any UCC financing statement deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender Agent (the terms of which shall be binding on such Lender Agent).

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

(c) Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Lender Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except for its, their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to its related Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or the Borrower Advisors contained in Article IV, any other Transaction Document or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of

-124-

this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith, or for any failure of the Borrower or any Borrower Advisor to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in this Agreement, or for the perfection, priority, condition, value or sufficiency of any collateral pledged in connection herewith. No Lender Agent shall be under any obligation to its related Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or the Borrower Advisors. No Lender Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Facility Amortization Event, Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default unless such Lender Agent has received notice from the Borrower or its related Lender.

(d) Reliance by Lender Agent. Each Lender Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Lender Agent. Each Lender Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of its related Lender as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by its related Lender; provided that, unless and until such Lender Agent shall have received such advice, such Lender Agent may take or refrain from taking any action, as the Lender Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of its related Lender. Each Lender Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of its related Lender, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon its related Lender.

(e) Non-Reliance on Lender Agent. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither its related Lender Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Lender Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Borrower or the Borrower Advisors, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Lender Agent. Each Lender represents and warrants to its related Lender Agent that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon its related Lender Agent, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto.

(f) Lender Agents are in their Respective Individual Capacities. Each Lender Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as though such Lender Agent were not a Lender Agent hereunder. With respect to Advances pursuant to this Agreement, each Lender Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not a Lender Agent, and the terms “Lender,” and “Lenders,” shall include the Lender Agent in its individual capacity.

(g) Successor Lender Agent. Each Lender Agent may, upon five days’ notice to the Borrower and its related Lender, and such Lender Agent will, upon the direction of its related Lender resign as the Lender Agent for such Lender. If any Lender Agent shall resign, then its related Lender during such five day period shall appoint a successor agent. If for any reason no successor agent is appointed by such Lender during such five day period, then effective upon the termination of such five day period, and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations due to such Lender directly to such Lender, and for all purposes shall deal directly with such Lender. After any retiring Lender Agent’s resignation hereunder as a Lender Agent, the provisions of Articles VIII and IX shall inure to its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Lender Agent under this Agreement.

-125-

Section 9.03 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior to the date an Advance is to be made by such Lender (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make its portion of such Advance available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall assume that such Lender has made such proceeds available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, without duplication, from either the Borrower or such Lender at a per annum rate equal to the then-applicable Yield Rate. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to the Borrower or any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this Section 9.03 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

-129-

successor Collateral Agent has been appointed and has agreed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder; provided that the Collateral Agent shall continue to receive compensation of its fees and expenses in accordance with Section 10.04 above while so serving as the Collateral Agent prior to a successor Collateral Agent being appointed.

The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 60 days written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and with the consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 12.04 Binding Effect; Assignability; Multiple Lenders.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Lender Agents, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank, the Collateral Custodian and their respective successors and permitted assigns. With the written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), each Lender and their respective successors and assigns may assign, or grant a security interest or sell a participation interest in, (A) this Agreement and such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and interest herein in whole or in part (including by way of the sale of participation interests therein) and/or (B) any Advance (or portion thereof) or any Variable Funding Note (or any portion thereof) to:

(i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default:

a. any Eligible Assignee with 90 days (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Borrower) prior written notice specifying the name of such Eligible Assignee to the Borrower;

b. any Person with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld);

c. any Affiliate of such Lender with prior written notice to the Borrower; or

d. any Person, if required by any change in Applicable Law with prior written notice to the Borrower; and

(ii) after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, any Person (other than any natural Person), with prior written notice to the Borrower;

provided that, (y) any Conduit Lender shall not need prior consent to at any time assign, or grant a security interest or sell a participation interest in, any Advance (or portion thereof) to a Liquidity Bank or any commercial paper conduit sponsored by a Liquidity Bank or an Affiliate of its related Lender Agent and (z) if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, unless such Lender shall have been deemed to no longer be a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.21(b), then the Administrative Agent shall have the right to cause such Defaulting Lender to assign its entire interest in the Advances and this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.04(a) to a transferee selected by the Administrative Agent. Any such assignee shall execute and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a fully-executed Transferee Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto (a “Transferee Letter”) and a fully-executed Joinder Supplement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable to the Administrative Agent, such fee to paid by either the assigning Lender or the assignee Lender or shared between such Lenders. If the assignee was not previously a Lender hereunder, such assignee shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. The parties to any such assignment, grant or sale of a participation interest shall execute and deliver to the related Lender Agent for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties and the applicable Lender Agent. The Borrower shall not (nor shall it permit the Seller, the Collateral Manager or the Equityholder to) assign, or permit any Lien to exist upon, any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any Transaction Document or any interest herein or in any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of each Lender Agent and the Administrative Agent;

-141-

provided, further that, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if any Lender (the “Selling Lender”) proposes to sell, assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder (its “Lender Interest”) to a Competitor, such Lender must first make a written offer to sell its Lender Interest to the Equityholder. For five (5) Business Days after receipt of such written offer, the Equityholder shall have the right to elect to purchase all or any portion of such Lender Interest at a price equal to all (or the applicable pro rata portion ) of the outstanding Obligations owing to such Lender. To exercise this right to purchase, the Equityholder shall give written notice to the selling Lender prior to the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period. Upon the exercise of a right to purchase, the Equityholder shall pay the applicable purchase price for such Lender Interest within five (5) Business Days of Equityholder’s exercise of the right to purchase; provided, however, that the pro rata share of the Commitment assigned to the Equityholder (together with its Affiliates) shall be disregarded in determining whether the consent or approval of the Lenders has been obtained at any time.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.04, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 12.05 Term of This Agreement.

This Agreement, including, without limitation, the Borrower’s representations and covenants set forth in Articles IV and V shall remain in full force and effect until the Collection Date; provided that the rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower pursuant to Articles III and IV and the indemnification and payment provisions of Article VIII, IX and Article XII and the provisions of Section 2.09, Section 2.10, Section 12.07, Section 12.08 and Section 12.09 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b) The Borrower shall pay on demand any and all stamp, sales, excise and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable to any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution, delivery, filing, enforcement or recording of, or any performance, receipt or perfection of a security interest under, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder.

(b) Each of the parties hereto (other than any Conduit Lender) hereby agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Liquidity Banks any Bankruptcy Proceeding so long as any commercial paper issued by such Conduit Lender shall be outstanding and there shall not have elapsed one year and one day (or such longer preference period as shall then be in effect) since the last day on which any such commercial paper shall have been outstanding.

(a) No recourse under or with respect to any obligation, covenant or agreement (including, without limitation, the payment of any fees or any other obligations) of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any other Secured Party as contained in this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall be had against any administrator of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, any other Secured Party or any incorporator, affiliate, stockholder, officer, employee or director of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, any other Secured Party or of any such administrator, as such, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the agreements of each party hereto contained in this Agreement and all of the other agreements, instruments and documents entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any other Secured Party pursuant hereto or in connection herewith are, in each case, solely the corporate obligations of such party (and nothing in this Section 12.09 shall be construed to diminish in any way such corporate obligations of such party), and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to or be incurred by any administrator of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, any other Secured Party, or any incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, employee or director of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any other Secured Party or of any such administrator, as such, or any of them, under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any other Secured Party contained in this Agreement or in any other such instruments, documents or agreements, or are implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability of every such administrator of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any other Secured Party and each incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, employee or director of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any other Secured Party or of any such administrator, or any of them, for breaches by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any other Secured Party of any such obligations, covenants or agreements, which liability may arise either at common law or in equity, by statute or constitution, or otherwise, is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement.

-144-

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no claim may be made by the Borrower or any other Person affiliated with or related to the Borrower against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents or any Secured Party or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect to any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected.

(e) The provisions of this Section 12.09 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

-145-

Section 12.10 Execution in Counterparts; Severability; Integration.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by e-mail in portable document format (.pdf) or facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

This Agreement and any agreements or letters (including fee letters) executed in connection herewith contains the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior oral or written understandings other than any fee letter delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Agents.

Section 12.11 Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process.

(a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in New York City in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(b) The Borrower agrees that service of process may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address specified in Annex A or at such other address as the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in accordance herewith. Nothing in this Section 12.11 shall affect the right of the Lenders, the Lender Agents or the Administrative Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 12.12 Characterization of Conveyances Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

(a) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of Eligible Loans by the Seller to the Borrower as contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement be, and be treated for all purposes (other than accounting purposes and subject to the tax characterization of the Borrower and the Advances) as, a sale by the Seller of such Eligible Loans. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Eligible Loans by the Seller to the Borrower to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Eligible Loans are held to continue to be property of the Seller, then the parties hereto agree that: (i) the Purchase and

-146-

Sale Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement under Applicable Law; (ii) as set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the transfer of the Eligible Loans provided for in the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Borrower of a first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Eligible Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Eligible Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including, without limitation, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Controlled Accounts, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (iii) the possession by the Borrower (or the Collateral Custodian on its behalf) of Loans and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be, subject to clause (iv), for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC; and (iv) acknowledgements from Persons holding such property shall be deemed acknowledgements from custodians, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Borrower for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under Applicable Law. The parties further agree that any assignment of the interest of the Borrower pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Borrower shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if the Purchase and Sale Agreement was deemed to create a security interest in the Eligible Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority (subject only to Permitted Liens) under Applicable Law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.

(b) It is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the Eligible Loans conveyed by the Seller to the Borrower pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall constitute assets owned by the Borrower and shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy or similar law.

(c) The Borrower agrees to treat, and shall cause the Seller to treat, for all purposes (other than accounting purposes and subject to the tax characterization of the Borrower and the Advances), the transactions effected by the Purchase and Sale Agreement as sales of assets to the Borrower. The Borrower hereby agrees to cause the Seller to reflect in the Seller’s financial records and to include a note in the publicly filed annual and quarterly financial statements of the Equityholder indicating that: (i) assets related to transactions (including transactions pursuant to the Transaction Documents) that do not meet SFAS 140 requirements for accounting sale treatment are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet of the Equityholder, as finance receivables pledged and non-recourse, secured borrowings (or the applicable financial statements are otherwise footnoted to explain that such assets are maintained separately from the assets of the Borrower and that such assets are not available to pay the debts of the Equityholder) and (ii) those assets are owned by a special purpose entity that is consolidated in the financial statements of the Equityholder, and the creditors of that special purpose entity have received ownership and/or security interests in such assets and such assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of sellers (or any affiliate of the sellers) of such assets to that special purpose entity.

-147-

Section 12.13 Confidentiality.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Borrower, the Account Bank, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of the Agreement and all information with respect to the other parties, including all information regarding the business of the Borrower obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that each such party and its officers and employees may (i) disclose such information to its external accountants, investigators, auditors, attorneys or other agents, including any Approved Broker Dealer or Approved Valuation Firm, engaged by such party in connection with any due diligence or comparable activities with respect to the transactions and Loans contemplated herein and the agents of such Persons (“Excepted Persons”); provided that each Excepted Person shall, as a condition to any such disclosure, agree for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Borrower, the Account Bank, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian that such information shall be kept confidential and used solely in connection with such Excepted Person’s evaluation of, or relationship with, the Borrower and its affiliates, (ii) disclose the existence of the Agreement, but not the financial terms thereof, (iii) disclose such information as is required by Applicable Law (including, without limitation, public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission) and (iv) disclose the Agreement and such information in any suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether in law or in equity or pursuant to arbitration) involving any of the Transaction Documents for the purpose of defending itself, reducing its liability, or protecting or exercising any of its claims, rights, remedies, or interests under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.13(a), any Borrower Advisor may, subject to Applicable Law and the terms of any Underlying Instruments, make available copies of the documents in the Collateral Files and such other documents it holds in its capacity as a Borrower Advisor pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, to any of its creditors. It is understood that the financial terms that may not be disclosed except in compliance with this Section 12.13(a) include, without limitation, all fees and other pricing terms, and all Events of Default, Facility Amortization Events, and priority of payment provisions.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it (i) to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Account Bank, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Custodian by each other, (ii) by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Account Bank, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of them provided such Person agrees to hold such information confidential, or (iii) by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Account Bank, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian to any commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to any Lender or any Person providing financing to, or holding equity interests in, any Conduit Lender, as applicable, and to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided each such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information. In addition, the Lenders, the Lender Agents, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank and the Collateral Custodian may disclose any such nonpublic information as required pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law).

-148-

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known; (ii) disclosure of any and all information (a) if required to do so by any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation, (b) to any government agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee any respects of the Lenders’, the Lender Agents’, the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s, the Account Bank’s or the Collateral Custodian’s business or that of their affiliates, (c) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory authority, arbitrator or arbitration to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Lender Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian or the Account Bank or an officer, director, employer, shareholder or affiliate of any of the foregoing is a party, (d) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or contract or other document approved in advance by the Borrower or (e) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Custodian having a need to know the same, provided that the disclosing party advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed; or (iii) any other disclosure authorized by the Borrower.

Section 12.14 Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment.

All parties hereto agree that each of them and each of their employees, representatives, and other agents may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including, without limitation, opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. “Tax treatment” and “tax structure” shall have the same meaning as such terms have for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, the provisions of this Section 12.14 shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 12.18 Failure of Borrower or Collateral Manager to Perform Certain Obligations.

If the Borrower fails, or fails to cause the Collateral Manager, as applicable, to perform any of its agreements or obligations under Section 5.01(t), Section 5.02(p) or Section 5(q) of the Management Agreement, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor.

Furthermore, each of the Secured Parties agrees to cooperate with the Equityholder and the Collateral Manager, as the case may be, to deliver any amendments, modifications or other agreements to the Transaction Documents as may be reasonably necessary or requested by the Equityholder or the Collateral Manager, as the case may be, in order to effectuate such Permitted Equityholder Transaction.

ANNEX C

Calculated Applicable Spread

The “Calculated Applicable Spread” shall be determined in accordance with the following formula, rounded to four decimal places:

Calculated Applicable Spread = (AS_B x Percentage_B) + (AS_L x Percentage_L) + (AS_T x Percentage_T) + (AS_SL x Percentage_SL) + (AS_UL x Percentage_SL) + (AS_LO x Percentage_LO)


where:	AS_B	=	1.75%;
	AS_L	=	2.25%;
	AS_T	=	2.50%;
	AS_SL	=	2.50%;
	AS_UL	=	2.50%;
	AS_LO	=	2.50%;

	AR_B	=	75.00%;
	AR_L	=	70.00%;
	AR_T	=	67.50%;
	AR_SL	=	25.00%;
	AR_UL	=	25.00%
	AR_LO	=	60.00%;



		Percentage_B				= Average A_B / Average AA_gg;
		Percentage_L				= Average A_L/ Average A_Agg;
		Percentage_T				= Average A_T/ Average A_Agg;
		Percentage_SL				= Average A_SL/ Average A_Agg;
		Percentage_UL				= Average A_UL/ Average A_Agg;
		Percentage_LO				= Average A_LO/ Average A_Agg;

		Average A_B				= AR_B x (the aggregate Adjusted Borrowing Value of all Broadly Syndicated Loans on the first day of the related Collection Period + the aggregate Adjusted Borrowing Value of all Broadly Syndicated Loans on the last day of the related Collection Period) / 2;

		Average A_L				= AR_L x (the aggregate Adjusted Borrowing Value of all Large Middle Market Loans on the first day of the related Collection Period + the aggregate Adjusted Borrowing Value of all Large Middle Market Loans on the last day of the related Collection Period) / 2;

		Average A_T				= AR_T x (the aggregate Adjusted Borrowing Value of all Traditional Middle Market Loans on the first day of the related Collection Period + the aggregate Adjusted Borrowing Value of all Traditional Middle Market Loans on the last day of the related Collection Period) / 2;

Annex C-1


		Average A_SL				= AR_SL x (the aggregate Adjusted Borrowing Value of all Second Lien Loans on the first day of the related Collection Period + the aggregate Adjusted Borrowing Value of all Second Lien Loans on the last day of the related Collection Period) / 2;

		Average A_UL				= AR_UL x (the aggregate Adjusted Borrowing Value of all Unsecured Loans on the first day of the related Collection Period + the aggregate Adjusted Borrowing Value of all Unsecured Loans on the last day of the related Collection Period) / 2;

		Average A_LO				= AR_LO x (the aggregate Adjusted Borrowing Value of all Last Out Loans on the first day of the related Collection Period + the aggregate Adjusted Borrowing Value of all Last Out Loans on the last day of the related Collection Period) / 2; and

		Average A_Agg				= Average A_B + Average A_L + Average A_T + Average A_SL+ Average A_UL+ Average A_LO.
