The Administrative Agent may waive any conditions to a Purchase Commitment or Purchase, as the case may be, specified above in this Section 1.03 by written notice thereof to the Collateral Administrator, the Company and the Portfolio Manager. If the above conditions to a Purchase Commitment or a Purchase are satisfied or waived by the Administrative Agent, the Portfolio Manager shall determine, in consultation with the Administrative Agent and with notice to the Lenders and the Collateral Administrator, the date on which such Purchase (if any) shall settle (the “Settlement Date” for such Portfolio Investment).

Promptly following the Settlement Date for a Portfolio Investment and its receipt thereof (and at other times thereafter promptly following the written request of the Administrative Agent (including via email)), the Portfolio Manager shall provide to the Administrative Agent a copy of the executed assignment agreement pursuant to which such Portfolio Investment was assigned, sold or otherwise transferred to the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements under clause (x) of this paragraph (other than no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) shall not apply to any sales initiated following the occurrence of a Market Value Trigger Event to the extent consummated to effect a Market Value Cure.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to this Section 1.04): (i) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, neither the Company nor the Portfolio Manager on its behalf shall have any right to cause the sale, transfer or other disposition of a Portfolio Investment or any other asset (including, without limitation, the transfer of amounts on deposit in the Collateral Accounts (other than the transfer of funds from the Permitted Non-USD Currency Accounts to another Collateral Account in accordance with this Agreement)) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), (ii) following the occurrence of a Market Value Event, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell Portfolio Investments (individually or in lots, including a lot comprised of all of the Portfolio Investments) at the sole direction of, and in the manner (including, without limitation, the time of sale, sale price, principal amount to be sold and purchaser) required by the

Following the occurrence of a Market Value Event and in connection with the sale of any Portfolio Investment by or at the direction of the Administrative Agent, the Portfolio Manager shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in writing (including via e-mail) to facilitate the consummation of such sale. Any prepayments made pursuant to this paragraph shall automatically reduce the Financing Commitments as provided in Section 4.07(c).

In connection with any sale of Portfolio Investments required by the Administrative Agent following the occurrence of a Market Value Event, the Administrative Agent or a designee of the Administrative Agent shall:

(i) notify the Company at the Designated Email Notification Address promptly upon distribution of bid solicitations regarding the sale of such Portfolio Investments; and

(ii) direct the Company to sell such Portfolio Investments to the Designated Independent Dealer if the Designated Independent Dealer provides the highest bid in the case where bids are received in respect of the sale of such Portfolio Investments, it being understood that if the Designated Independent Dealer provides a bid to the Administrative Agent that is the highest bona fide bid to purchase a Portfolio Investment on a line-item basis where such Portfolio Investment is part of a pool of Portfolio Investments for which there is a bona fide bid on a pool basis proposed to be accepted by the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion), then the Administrative Agent shall accept any such line-item bid only if such line-item bid (together with any other line-item bids by the Designated Independent Dealer or any other bidder for other Portfolio Investments in such pool) is greater than the bid on a pool basis.

For purposes of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to disregard as invalid any bid submitted by the Designated Independent Dealer if, in the Administrative Agent’s judgment (acting reasonably):

(A) either:

(x) the Designated Independent Dealer is ineligible to accept assignment or transfer of the relevant Portfolio Investments or any portion thereof, as applicable, substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for the relevant Portfolio Investments; or

(y) the Designated Independent Dealer would not, through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts, be able to obtain any consent required under any agreement or instrument governing or otherwise relating to the relevant Portfolio Investments to the assignment or transfer of the relevant Portfolio Investments or any portion thereof, as applicable, to it; or

(B) such bid is not bona fide, including, without limitation, due to (x) the insolvency of the Designated Independent Dealer or (y) the inability, failure or refusal of the Designated Independent Dealer to settle the purchase of the relevant Portfolio Investments or any portion thereof, as applicable, or otherwise settle transactions in the relevant market or perform its obligations generally.

In connection with any sale of a Portfolio Investment directed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 1.04 and the application of the net proceeds thereof, the Company hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as the Company’s attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of the Company by this appointment), with full authority in the place and stead of the Company and in the name of the Company to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.04 (including, without limitation, the power to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 1.04 or any direction or notice to the Collateral Agent in respect of the application of net proceeds of any such sales). None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Agent or any Affiliate of any thereof shall incur any liability to the Company, the Portfolio Manager, any Lender or any other Person in connection with any sale effected at the direction of the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 1.04, including, without limitation, as a result of the price obtained for any Portfolio Investment, the timing of any sale or sales of Portfolio Investments or the notice or lack of notice provided to any Person in connection with any such sale, so long as, in the case of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent only, any such sale does not violate Applicable Law.

SECTION 1.05. Certain Assumptions relating to Portfolio Investments. For purposes of all calculations hereunder, any Portfolio Investment for which the Trade Date in respect of a sale thereof by the Company has occurred, but the Settlement Date for such sale has not occurred, shall be considered to be owned by the Company until such Settlement Date.

SECTION 1.06. Valuation of Permitted Non-USD Currency Portfolio Investments.

SECTION 1.07. Interest Rates; Benchmark Notification. The interest rate on an Advance may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Section 3.01(h) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Company. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Company, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this section. This Section 3.01(c) shall be construed so that the Advances are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

Any Lender may request that Advances made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(d) Pro Rata Treatment. Except as otherwise provided herein, all borrowings of, and payments in respect of, the Advances shall be made on a pro rata basis by or to the Lenders in accordance with their respective portions of the Financing Commitments in respect of Advances held by them.

(e) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company that the adoption of any law, rule or regulation, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for a Lender or the Administrative Agent to perform its obligations hereunder to fund or maintain Advances hereunder, then (1) the obligation of such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder to fund or maintain Advances shall immediately be suspended until such

time as such Lender or the Administrative Agent determines (in its sole discretion) that such performance is again lawful, (2) at the request of the Company, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, other than immaterial, incidental expenses), until such time as the Advances are required to be prepaid as required under clause (3) below, to transfer all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates with respect to which such performance would not be unlawful, and (3) if such Lender or the Administrative Agent is unable to effect a transfer under clause (2), then any outstanding Advances of such Lender shall be promptly paid in full by the Company (together with all accrued interest and all other amounts owing hereunder) but not later than the earlier of (x) if the Company requests such Lender or the Administrative Agent to take the actions set forth in clause (2) above, 20 calendar days after the date on which such Lender or the Administrative Agent notifies the Company in writing that it is unable to transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement as specified in such clause (2) and (y) such date as shall be mandated by law; provided that, to the extent that any such adoption or change makes it unlawful for the Advances to bear interest by reference to the Term SOFR Rate, then the foregoing clauses (1) through (3) shall not apply and the Advances shall bear interest (from and after the last day of the Calculation Period ending immediately after such adoption or change) at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Advances set forth on the Transaction Schedule; provided further, that no breakage costs shall be payable in connection with this Section 3.01(e).

(f) Increased Costs.

(i) If any Change in Law shall:

(A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;

(B) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender; or

(C) subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (z) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Advance or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, upon written request by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (which may be by email), the Company will pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(ii) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Advances made by such

- 46 -

CONFIDENTIAL

Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(iii) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate, and the basis for such compensation of, such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(iv) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Administrative Agent notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. None of the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to any such compensation unless such Person is generally seeking such compensation from borrowers under substantially similar facilities with substantially similar assets and from whom such Person is entitled to so seek such compensation.

(v) Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agrees that it will take such commercially reasonable actions as the Company may reasonably request that will avoid the need to pay, or reduce the amount of, any increased amounts referred to in this Section 3.01(f); provided that no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to take any actions that would, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, be disadvantageous to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, due to a loss of money). In no event will the Company be responsible for increased amounts referred to in this Section 3.01(f) which relates to any other entities to which any Lender provides financing.

(vi) If any Lender (A) provides notice of unlawfulness or requests compensation under clause (e) above or this clause (f), (B) defaults in its obligation to make Advances hereunder, (C) becomes the subject of a Bail-In Action or (D) does not consent to a Material Amendment consented to by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related transaction documents to an assignee identified by the Company that shall assume such obligations (whereupon such Lender shall be obligated to so assign), provided that, (x) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder through the date of such assignment, (y) a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply and (z) such assignment or delegation shall be offered first to JPMCB and any Affiliate thereof that is a Lender. No prepayment fee that may otherwise be due hereunder shall be payable to such Lender in connection with any such assignment

- 47 -

CONFIDENTIAL

(g) No Set-off or counterclaim. Subject to Section 3.03, all payments to be made hereunder by the Company in respect of the Advances shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that every such payment (after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future Taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Company is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority therein or thereof) shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement.

(h) Alternate Rate of Interest.

(i) Temporary Benchmark Unavailability. Subject to clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of this Section 3.01(h) , if:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR Rate (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for the applicable tenor or (B) if the then-current Benchmark is Daily Simple SOFR, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Daily Simple SOFR; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that (A) the Term SOFR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Advances (or its Advance) or (B) if the then-current Benchmark is Daily Simple SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Advances (or its Advance), then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator) and until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator) that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Company delivers a new Request for Advance in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03(d), then, with respect to Advances referencing the affected Benchmark (1) any Request for Advance that requests a Term Benchmark Advance shall instead be deemed to be a request for (x) Daily Simple SOFR Advance so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of Section 3.01(h)(i)(a)(B) or (b)(B) above or (y) a Base Rate Advance if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of Section 3.01(h)(i)(a)(B) or (b)(B) above and (2) any Request for Advance that requests a Daily Simple SOFR Advance shall instead be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Advance.

Furthermore, if any Daily Simple SOFR Advance or Term Benchmark Advance is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 3.01(h)(i) with respect to a Benchmark applicable to such Term Benchmark Advance or Daily Simple SOFR Advance, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Company delivers a new Request for Advance in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03(d) then, with respect to Advances referencing the affected Benchmark (1) any Term Benchmark Advance shall, on the last day of the Calculation Period applicable to such Advance (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) a Daily Simple SOFR

Advance so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of Section 3.01(h)(i)(a)(B) or (b)(B) above or (y) a Base Rate Advance if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of Section 3.01(h)(i)(a)(B) or (b)(B) above, on such day, and (2) any Daily Simple SOFR Advance shall, on and from such day, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Base Rate Advance.

(ii) Permanent Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then:

(a) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and

(b) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(iii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes (in consultation with the Company) from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(iv) Notices from and Determinations by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator) of (a) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (b) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (c) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (d) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (v) below and (e) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.01(h), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.01(h).

CONFIDENTIAL

(v) Unavailable Term Rate Tenors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (a) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Calculation Period” or “Term SOFR Rate” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (b) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (a) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of definition of “Calculation Period” or “Term SOFR Rate” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(vi) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any request for or conversion to a Term Benchmark Advance or Daily Simple SOFR Advance to be made or converted during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Company will be deemed to have converted any request for, or request for conversion to, a Term Benchmark Advance into a request for, or conversion to, (A) a Daily Simple SOFR Advance so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) a Base Rate Advance if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event.

During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

Furthermore, if any Daily Simple SOFR Advance or any Term Benchmark Advance is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Benchmark applicable to such Term Benchmark Advance or Daily Simple SOFR Advance, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such currency is implemented pursuant to this Section 3.01(h), (1) any Term Benchmark Advance shall on the last day of the Calculation Period applicable to such Advance (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Advance so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) a Base Rate Advance if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any Daily Simple SOFR Advance shall, on and from such day, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Base Rate Advance.

SECTION 3.03. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. All payments to be made hereunder or under any Loan Document by or on account of any obligation of the Company shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law (including FATCA), as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent. If any Applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Company shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Company. The Company shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify each Secured Party, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Secured Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Secured Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Company to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Status of Secured Parties. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the

CONFIDENTIAL

Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.03(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), an executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an executed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E or any applicable successor form establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii) an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company or the Parent within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, and is not a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) an executed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form; or

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or applicable successor form, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

CONFIDENTIAL

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), copies of any other executed form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so; and

(E) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Company an electronic copy of an IRS Form W-9 upon becoming a party under this Agreement attesting to the fact that it is a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1 and a “U.S. financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1471-3(a)(3)(iii) and that it will comply with its obligations to withhold under Section 1441 and FATCA.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Financing Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 3.04. Mitigation Obligations

(a) Designation of a Different Lending or Issuing Office. If any Lender requires the Company to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.03, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Company) use reasonable efforts to, as applicable, designate a different lending or issuing office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or issuing letters of credit or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.03, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

COLLECTIONS AND PAYMENTS

SECTION 4.01. Interest Proceeds. The Company shall notify the Portfolio Investment Obligor with respect to each Portfolio Investment to remit all amounts that constitute Interest Proceeds to the Interest Collection Account or the Permitted Non-USD Currency Interest Collection Account.

Eligible Investments shall mature no later than the end of the then-current Calculation Period. In the absence of any such written direction from the Company (or the Portfolio Manager on its behalf) or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, Interest Proceeds in the Interest Collection Account shall remain uninvested. Interest Proceeds in any Permitted Non-USD Currency Interest Collection Account shall remain uninvested.

(b) Collateral Agent in Control of Collateral Accounts. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (1) each Collateral Account shall be deemed to be a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC), (2) all property credited to any Collateral Account shall be treated as a financial asset for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC and (3) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collateral Agent will be exclusively entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each financial asset credited to each Collateral Account. Except as provided in Section 8.01(h) below, the parties hereto agree that the Securities Intermediary shall act only on entitlement orders or other instructions with respect to the Collateral Accounts originated by the Collateral Agent and no other Person (and without further consent by any other Person); and the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal over each Collateral Account. The only permitted withdrawals from the Collateral Accounts shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Subordination of Lien, Etc. If the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Collateral Account or any security entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The property credited to any Collateral Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Collateral Agent (except that the Securities Intermediary may set-off (1) all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Collateral Accounts, and (2) the face amount of any payments received by check, wire transfer, ACH or otherwise which have been credited to any Collateral Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).

(d) Property Registered, Indorsed, etc. to Securities Intermediary. All securities or other property represented by a certificated security, promissory note or an instrument underlying any financial assets credited to any Collateral Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary, and in no case will any financial asset credited to any Collateral Account be registered in the name of the Company, payable to the order of the Company or specially indorsed to the Company except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank.

(e) Jurisdiction; Governing Law of Collateral Accounts. The establishment and maintenance of each Collateral Account and all interests, duties and obligations related thereto shall be governed by the law of the State of New York and the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) shall be the State of New York. As permitted by Article 4 of the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an Intermediary (the “Hague Convention”), the parties hereto agree that the law of the State of New York shall govern each Securities Account and the issues specified in Article 2(1) of the Hague Convention. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed as an amendment to any other account agreement governing any Securities Account. Terms used in this Section 8.01 without definition have the meanings given to them in the UCC.

(f) No Duties. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Securities Intermediary shall not have any additional duties under this Agreement other than those expressly set forth in this Section 8.01, and the Securities Intermediary shall satisfy those duties expressly set forth in this Section 8.01 so long as it acts without gross negligence, fraud, reckless disregard or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Securities Intermediary shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, and the Securities Intermediary shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers. The Securities Intermediary shall be subject to all of the rights, protections and immunities given to the Collateral Agent hereunder, including indemnities. In the event the Securities Intermediary receives instructions from the Company to effect a securities transaction as contemplated in 12 CFR 12.1, the Company acknowledges that upon its written request and at no additional cost, it has the right to receive the notification from the Securities Intermediary after the completion of such transaction as contemplated in 12 CFR 12.4(a) or (b). The Company agrees that, absent specific request, such notifications shall not be provided by the Securities Intermediary hereunder, and in lieu of such notifications, the Securities Intermediary shall make available periodic account statements in the manner required by this Agreement.

(g) Ownership of Collateral Accounts; Tax Forms. For the avoidance of doubt, each Collateral Account (including income, if any, earned on the investments of funds in such Collateral Account) will be owned by the Company, for federal income tax purposes. The Company is required to provide to the Securities Intermediary (i) an IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 no later than the

date of this Agreement, and (ii) any additional IRS forms (or updated versions of any previously submitted IRS forms) or other documentation at such time or times required by Applicable Law or upon the reasonable request of the Securities Intermediary as may be necessary (x) to reduce or eliminate the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes and (y) to permit the Securities Intermediary to fulfill its tax reporting obligations under Applicable Law with respect to the Collateral Accounts or any amounts paid to the Company. If any IRS form or other documentation previously delivered becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, the Company shall timely provide to the Securities Intermediary accurately updated and complete versions of such IRS forms or other documentation. The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association, both in its individual capacity and in its capacity as Securities Intermediary, shall have no liability to the Company or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid or withheld from the Collateral Accounts pursuant to Applicable Law arising from the Company’s failure to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9 or an appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable, or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, no funds shall be invested with respect to such Collateral Accounts absent the Securities Intermediary having first received the IRS forms and other documentation required by this paragraph.

(h) Investment of Funds on Deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account. All amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account shall be invested (and reinvested) at the written direction of the Company (or the Portfolio Manager on its behalf) delivered to the Collateral Agent in Eligible Investments; provided that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or following a Market Value Event, all amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account shall be invested, reinvested and otherwise disposed of at the written direction of the Administrative Agent delivered to the Collateral Agent. In the absence of any such written direction from the Company (or the Portfolio Manager on its behalf) or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, in accordance with this paragraph, amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account shall remain uninvested. Income earned on such Eligible Investments shall be deposited into the Interest Proceeds Account.

(ii) While no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no Market Value Event has occurred and subject to satisfaction of the Borrowing Base Test (after giving effect to such release), the Portfolio Manager may direct, by means of an instruction in writing to the Securities Intermediary (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator and which instruction shall be deemed to constitute a certification that the aforementioned conditions have been satisfied), the release of funds on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account (i) for the purpose of funding the Company’s unfunded commitments with respect to Delayed Funding Term Loans and Revolving Loans, for deposit into the Principal Collection Account and (ii) so long as no Unfunded Exposure Shortfall exists or would exist after giving effect to the withdrawal. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or following the occurrence of a Market Value Event, at the written direction of the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator), the Securities Intermediary shall transfer all amounts in the Unfunded Exposure Account to the Principal Collection Account to be applied pursuant to Section 4.05. Upon the direction of the Company by means of an instruction in writing to the Securities Intermediary (with a copy to the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent), any amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account in excess of outstanding funding obligations of the Company shall be released to the Principal Collection Account to prepay the outstanding Advances.

The Company agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) calendar days’ prior notice to the Company of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.

ARTICLE IX

THE AGENTS

SECTION 9.01. Appointment of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (each, an “Agent” and collectively, the “Agents”) as its agent and authorizes such Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Agent and each Lender hereby agree that no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Collateral shall be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties at the direction of the Administrative Agent.

Each financial institution serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender (if applicable) as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such financial institution and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

None of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Securities Intermediary or the Administrative Agent shall be required to risk or expend its own funds in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder if it reasonably believes it will not receive reimbursement therefor hereunder. Without limitation to the immediately preceding sentence, none of the Agents, the Collateral Administrator nor the Securities Intermediary shall be required to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document if taking such action (A) would subject such Person to Tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to Tax, or (B) would require such person to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified.

Each Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, direction, opinion, document, electronic communication or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.

The Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate.

The Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Administrator may, from time to time, request that the parties hereto deliver a certificate (upon which the Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Administrator may conclusively rely) setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Agreement or any related document together with a specimen signature of such authorized officers and the Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the then current certificate until receipt of a superseding certificate.

In order to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (“Applicable Bank Law”), the entity serving as Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary or Collateral Administrator is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with such entity. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator upon its reasonable request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator to comply with Applicable Bank Law.

The rights, protections and immunities given to the Agents in this Section 9.01, Section 9.02(c) and Section 9.02(j) shall likewise be available and applicable to the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator.

SECTION 9.02. Additional Provisions Relating to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator.

(a) Collateral Agent May Perform. The Collateral Agent shall from time to time take such action (at the written direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein and the Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Agent in writing to take any action incidental thereto; provided that with respect to actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Administrative Agent; provided further that.in each case the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to take any such action in the absence of such direction and shall have no obligation to comply with any such direction if it reasonably believes that the same (1) is contrary to Applicable Law or (2) is reasonably likely to subject the Collateral Agent to any loss, liability, cost or expense, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, issuing such instruction provides indemnification or otherwise make provision reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent for payment of same. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with such direction. In absence of such direction with respect to any action or inaction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such action unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received such direction, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

If, in performing its respective duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent or Collateral Administrator, as applicable, is required to decide between alternative courses of action, such Collateral Agent or Collateral Administrator shall request written instructions from the Administrative Agent as to the course of action desired by it. The Collateral Agent or Collateral Administrator, as applicable, shall be entitled to rely on the advice of legal counsel and independent accountants selected with due care in performing its respective duties hereunder.

(b) Custody and Preservation. The Collateral Agent is required to hold in the custody and preserve any of the Collateral in its possession pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the standard of care set forth herein; provided that the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have complied with the terms of this Agreement with respect to the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral if it takes such action

CONFIDENTIAL

as the Company reasonably requests (or, following the occurrence of a Market Value Event or following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, as the Administrative Agent reasonably requests), but failure of the Collateral Agent to comply with any such request at any time shall not itself be deemed a failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Administrator will be responsible for filing any financing statements or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any liens thereon.

(c) Collateral Agent Not Liable. Except to the extent arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, criminal conduct, fraud or reckless disregard of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable by reason of its compliance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to (1) the investment of funds held thereunder in Eligible Investments (other than for losses attributable to the Collateral Agent’s failure to make payments on investments issued by the Collateral Agent, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as collateral agent, in accordance with their terms) or (2) losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its stated maturity. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any act or omission of the Company, the Lenders party hereto, the Securities Intermediary, the Administrative Agent or any other person, and absent written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent to the contrary, the Collateral Agent may assume that such person is in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement or any other document related to this transaction. The Collateral Agent and its Affiliates shall be permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in such Agent’s economic self-interest for (1) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Eligible Investments, (2) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Eligible Investments, and (3) effecting transactions in certain investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable pursuant to this Agreement. It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Collateral Agent is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Portfolio Investments or other Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible or chargeable with knowledge of or responsible for any terms or conditions contained in any Loan Document (or any other agreement) to which it is not a party.

(d) Certain Rights and Obligations of the Collateral Agent. Without further consent or authorization from any Lenders, the Collateral Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to release any lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or as otherwise permitted or required hereunder or to which the Required Lenders have otherwise consented. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, any Agent or Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender in its individual capacity unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the purchaser at such sale.

(e) Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary and Collateral Administrator Fees and Expenses. The Company agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator such fees as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Administrator and the Portfolio Manager, may agree in writing, subject to the Priority of Payments. The Company further agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator, or reimburse the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator for paying, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including attorney’s fees, in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby, subject to the Priority of Payments.

(f) Execution by the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Administrator.

(g) Reports by the Collateral Administrator. The Company hereby appoints The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association as Collateral Administrator and directs the Collateral Administrator to prepare the reports substantially in the form reasonably agreed by the Company, the Collateral Administrator and the Administrative Agent, which shall include daily position and cash flow reports with respect to the Portfolio Investments. The Company and the Portfolio Manager shall cooperate with the Collateral Administrator in connection with the matters described herein, including calculations relating to the reports contemplated herein or as otherwise reasonably requested hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (or the Portfolio Manager on its behalf) shall supply in a timely fashion any determinations, designations, classifications or selections made by it relating to a Portfolio Investment, including in connection with the acquisition or disposition thereof, and any information maintained by it that the Collateral Administrator may from time to time reasonably request with respect to the Portfolio Investment and reasonably need to complete the reports required to be prepared by the Collateral Administrator hereunder or reasonably required to permit the Collateral Administrator to perform its obligations hereunder. The Collateral Administrator shall deliver a draft of each such report to the Portfolio Manager and the Portfolio Manager shall review, verify and approve the contents of the aforesaid reports. To the extent any of the information in such reports conflicts with data or calculations in the records of the Portfolio Manager, the Portfolio Manager shall notify the Collateral Administrator of such discrepancy and use reasonable efforts to assist the Collateral Administrator in reconciling such discrepancy.

(h) Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Administrator shall have any obligation to determine or calculate any Net Asset Value, the Borrowing Base Test, the Unfunded Exposure Amount, the Unfunded Exposure Shortfall or any Market Value and shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon such amounts as reported by the Company (or the Portfolio Manager on its behalf) or the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon information provided by the Administrative Agent with respect to the determination of all interest, fees, expenses and other amounts due and payable to the Lenders and the calculation of each Benchmark, Reference Rate, Term SOFR Reference Rate and any Base Rate or Benchmark Replacement.

(i) None of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator shall be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of any Benchmark, Term SOFR Reference Rate or Reference Rate including, without limitation, any screen rate for Advances denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency, or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, or Benchmark Unavailability Period, (ii) to select, determine or designate any Base Rate, Benchmark Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, (iii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (iv) to determine whether or what Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing. None of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Collateral Administrator shall be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Agreement as a result of the unavailability of any Benchmark,

CONFIDENTIAL

Term SOFR Reference Rate or Reference Rate including, without limitation, any screen rate for Advances denominated in a Permitted Non-USD Currency, the Base Rate or any Benchmark Replacement, and absence of a designated replacement Benchmark Replacement, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party, including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent, the Company, the Portfolio Manager or the Required Lenders, in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement and reasonably required for the performance of such duties.

(j) Information Provided to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator. Without limiting the generality of any terms of this Section, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Administrator shall have liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of the Portfolio Manager, the Administrative Agent, the Company or the Required Lenders to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and, absent gross negligence, willful misconduct, criminal conduct, fraud or reckless disregard of the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on the Collateral Agent’s or Collateral Administrator’s, as applicable, part of any of its duties hereunder that is caused by or results from any such inaccurate, incomplete or untimely information received by it, or other failure on the part of any such other party to comply with the terms hereof.

(k) If the Collateral Agent receives an instruction to effect any foreign exchange transactions (which instruction shall be given at least one Business Day prior to such conversion date, or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Collateral Agent), or cannot comply with instructions without effecting foreign exchange transactions, the Collateral Agent is authorized to enter into spot foreign exchange transactions (“FX Transactions”) with the Borrowers in connection with the Accounts and may provide such foreign exchange services to the Borrowers themselves or through any BNYM Affiliates. The Collateral Agent may convert currency itself or through any BNYM Affiliate and, in those cases, the Collateral Agent or, as the case may be, the relevant BNYM Affiliate through which currency is converted acts as principal for its own account and not as agent, advisor, broker or fiduciary on behalf of any other person and may earn revenue, including, without limitation, transaction spreads and sales margin, that it will retain for its own account. The revenue is based on, among other things, the difference between the exchange rate assigned to the FX Transaction made under this Agreement and the rate that the Collateral Agent or any BNYM Affiliate receives when buying or selling foreign currency for its own account. The Collateral Agent or the relevant BNYM Affiliate makes no representation that the exchange rate used or obtained for any FX Transaction under this Agreement will be the most favorable rate that could be obtained at the time or as to the method by which that rate will be determined. The Collateral Agent or the relevant BNYM Affiliate may establish rules or limitations concerning any foreign exchange facility made available to the Company. Any such FX Transactions will be subject to terms and conditions (the “FX Terms”) separately disclosed. In addition, the Collateral Agent may transmit any FX Transaction to a sub-custodian or depository or as otherwise agreed between the applicable Borrower and the Collateral Agent. In such cases, the relevant FX Transaction may not be processed and priced as described in the FX Terms. For the purposes for this clause (k), “BNYM Affiliate” means any subsidiary, affiliate or other related body corporate of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and which shall exclude any third party affiliates or other entities of whatever description which are not part of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation group of companies.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Secured Party under this Section 9.03 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Each Secured Party hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (i) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Secured Party agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Secured Party shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Secured Party to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c) The parties hereto hereby agree that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Secured Party that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Secured Party with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by the Company, except, in each case, to the extent such Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Company for the purpose of making such Payment.

(d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, any Secured Party, the termination of the Financing Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 9.04. Notices. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123

or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which the Company is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Secured Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.05 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Secured Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Secured Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Secured Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Secured Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Secured Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

Each of the Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator and Securities Intermediary (“BNYM”) shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instruction (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Borrower, the Portfolio Manager and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall provide to BNYM an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Borrower, the Portfolio Manager and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Borrower, the Portfolio Manager and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, elects to give BNYM Instructions using Electronic Means and BNYM in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, BNYM’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Borrower, the Portfolio Manager and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, understand and agree that BNYM cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that BNYM shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to BNYM have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Borrower, the Portfolio Manager and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to BNYM and that the Borrower, the Portfolio Manager and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Borrower, the Portfolio Manager and the Administrative Agent, as applicable. BNYM shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from BNYM’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Borrower, the Portfolio Manager and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agree: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to BNYM, including without limitation the risk of BNYM acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to BNYM and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Borrower, the Portfolio Manager and the Administrative Agent, as applicable; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify BNYM immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures. “Electronic Means” shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by BNYM, or another method or system specified by BNYM as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.

SECTION 10.03. No Waiver. No failure on the part of any party hereto to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

The rights of each Lender under this clause (d) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

(e) This Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the repayment of all amounts owing to the Secured Parties hereunder and, if applicable, the earlier resignation or removal of any Indemnitee.

SECTION 10.05. Amendments. Subject to Section 3.01(h)(ii), no amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including, without limitation, a writing evidenced by electronic mail) and executed by each of the Agents, the Collateral Administrator, the Required Lenders, the Company and the Portfolio Manager; provided, however, that any amendment to this Agreement that the Administrative Agent determines in its commercially reasonable judgment is necessary to effectuate the purposes of Section 1.04 hereof following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or following the occurrence of a Market Value Event and which would not result in an increase or decrease in the rights, duties or liabilities of the Portfolio Manager or the Company shall not be required to be executed by the Portfolio Manager or the Company; provided further that the Administrative Agent may waive any of the Eligibility Criteria and the requirements set forth in Schedule 3 or Schedule 4 in its sole discretion; provided further that none of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator or the Securities Intermediary shall be required to execute any amendment that affects its rights, duties, protections or immunities; provided further that any Material Amendment shall require the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby; provided further that (i) the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Company only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent), so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice (which may be by electronic mail) thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice (which may be by electronic mail) from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment and (ii) the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Required Lenders), in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to any action or omission as set forth in this Agreement and may grant waivers, concessions and other indulgences in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.06. Successors; Assignments.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Portfolio Manager, the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Company without such consent shall be null and void) and the Portfolio Manager may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Subject to the conditions set forth below, any Lender may assign to any other Person, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Financing Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, it being understood that it shall not be unreasonable for the Company to withhold consent to an assignment to a Competitor) of the Administrative Agent and the Company; provided that (1) no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Financing Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender (or any Affiliate thereof)

- 94 -

CONFIDENTIAL

immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment and (2) no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a bank, broker-dealer or insurance company; provided, further, that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to any Person following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or following the occurrence of a Market Value Event.

Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) [reserved]; (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; and (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof below, from and after the effective date specified in each assignment and assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment and assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment and assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment and assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto as a Lender but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.03 and 10.04).

The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each assignment and assumption delivered to it and the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the parties hereto shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, any Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Portfolio Manager, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon its receipt of a duly completed assignment and assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall accept such assignment and assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.

(c) Any Lender may sell participations to one or more banks, broker-dealers, insurance companies or other entities (a “Lender Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Financing Commitment and the Advances owing to it); provided that (1) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (2) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (3) the Company, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; (4) the Administrative Agent has consented to the sale of such participation (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Lender Participant, agree to any Material Amendment that affects such Lender Participant and (5) other than following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or following the occurrence of a Market Value Event, the Borrower has consented to any participation that is to a Competitor.

(d) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Lender Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Lender Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of

- 95 -

CONFIDENTIAL

any Lender Participant or any information relating to a Lender Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or any successor provision. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The Company agrees that each Lender Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01(e) and 3.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.03(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.03(f) shall be delivered to the Lender that sells the participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Lender Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.01(f) relating to replacement of Lenders as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 10.06 and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01(e) and 3.03, with respect to any participation, than the Lender that sells the participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Lender Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the replacement of Lenders provisions set forth in Section 3.01(f) with respect to any Lender Participant.

Nothing in this Agreement precludes any party hereto from bringing Proceedings to enforce any judgment against any such party arising out of or relating to this Agreement in the courts of any place where such party or any of its assets may be found or located, nor will the bringing of such Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of such Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.

(c) Waiver of Jury Trial.

SECTION 10.09. PATRIOT Act.
