(a) Termination Date Extension Options. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.06(a), Seller shall have two (2) options to extend the then- current Termination Date for a period of one (1) year each (each, an “Extension Period”). Each extension of the Termination Date shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions both on the date of Seller’s request to extend and as of the then- current Termination Date, each as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion (each, an “Extension Condition”): (i) Seller shall request the extension of the Termination Date in a writing delivered to Buyer no earlier than ninety (90) days and no later than thirty (30) days before the then-current Termination Date, (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iii) no Margin Deficit shall be outstanding, (iv) Seller shall be in compliance with the Facility Debt Yield Test; provided, however, if Seller is not in compliance with the foregoing condition, then Seller may make a payment to Buyer in an amount sufficient, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion, to cause each such condition to be in full compliance prior to the then-current Termination Date, (v) all Purchased Assets otherwise qualify as Eligible Assets, and (vi) Seller has paid to Buyer the Extension Fee on or before the then-current Termination Date. If the Extension Conditions are not fully satisfied as of the current Termination Date, then notwithstanding any prior approval by Buyer of Seller’s request to extend the then- current Termination Date, Seller shall have no right to extend the then-current Termination Date, and any pending request to extend the then-current Termination Date shall be deemed to be denied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.06, in no event shall the Termination Date be extended for more than two (2) Extension Periods. For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise of an extension of the Termination Date pursuant to this Section 3.06(a) shall not extend the scheduled Repurchase Date of any Transaction for a period in excess of one (1) year. (b) [Reserved.] (c) Maximum Amount Upsize Options. At any time during the Revolving Period, but in no event more than three (3) times per calendar year, Seller may request an increase of the Maximum Amount (the “Upsize Option”) by delivery of written notice to Buyer of such request not less than thirty (30) days prior to the requested effective date of the corresponding increase in the Maximum Amount. Each Upsize Option shall be in an amount not less than $50,000,000. Each Upsize Option in an amount greater than $50,000,000 shall be in increments of $25,000,000. Seller’s request(s) to exercise an Upsize Option may be approved or denied by Buyer in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, that a request by Seller to exercise an Upsize Option will be deemed to be denied if, on the date of the related request or on the proposed effective date of such request, any of the Extension Conditions set forth in Section 3.06(a) are not satisfied, as determined by Buyer in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion. In addition, no exercise of an Upsize Option shall be effective until Seller has paid to Buyer the Upsize Fee applicable for the related Upsize Option.” (e) The Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new section immediately following Section 18.25. “Section 18.26.

(b) In the event that Buyer or a BHC Act Affiliate of Buyer becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement and/or the Repurchase Documents that may be exercised against Buyer are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement and/or the Repurchase Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.” SECTION 2.
