An amount equal to $7,824,106 (the “Pharmalogic Funds”) shall be set aside in the Principal Collections Account solely for purposes of funding an incremental portion of the “Pharmalogic Holdings Corp” Loan at a later date. Each of the Servicer and the Seller

3

acknowledge and agree that it shall be a condition precedent to the release of all or a portion of the Pharmalogic Funds from the Principal Collections Account that, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, the final terms and agreements between the Originator and Pharmalogic Holdings Corp. shall not be materially different than the terms set forth in that certain term sheet, dated as of October 31, 2011, between the Originator and Pharmalogic Holdings Corp. In addition, following the earlier of (a) the funding date of the “Pharmalogic Holdings Corp” Loan and (b) March 31, 2012, the Pharmalogic Funds (or any portion thereof) which has not been released to fund all or a portion of such Loan shall no longer be deemed to be set aside in the Principal Collections Account and thereafter shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.8 of the Agreement.

Neu as an acceptable replacement for Steve Tunney and further acknowledges that the Unmatured Termination Event caused by the October 31, 2011 resignation of Steve Tunney from MCG Capital Corporation has been cured in accordance with Section 6.15(n) of the Agreement.

3.4 As a result of various organizational changes of the Originator, the Credit and Collection Policy that was most recently furnished to the Administrative Agent in August 2010 has not been and is not currently being followed in all material respects. Each of the Originator, Servicer and the Seller hereby request a waiver of, and the Administrative Agent and SunTrust Bank (as assignee of Three Pillars) hereby agree to waive, any Servicer Default, Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event arising as a result of (i) the failure by the Servicer or the Seller to comply with the Credit and Collection Policy or (ii) the failure of the Servicer to provide notice of any prior changes to the Credit and Collection Policy; provided that (i) each of the Originator and the Servicer hereby agrees to follow the credit and collection procedures which are currently in place as of the date hereof and have been communicated and/or furnished to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date hereof and (ii) not later than March 31, 2012, the Servicer and/or Originator shall provide the Administrative Agent with a revised Credit and Collection Policy setting forth the aforementioned credit and collection procedures (such revised Credit and Collection Policy shall be adhered to by the Originator and Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, if a new Credit and Collection Policy has not been received by the Administrative Agent by March 31, 2012, such a breach shall be deemed to be a Servicer Default under the Agreement. This waiver is a limited one-time waiver and shall not be construed to be a waiver as to non-compliance of any of the other provisions of the Agreement.

4. Assignment.

4.1 Three Pillars, in its capacity as a Purchaser under the Agreement, hereby provides notice to the parties that on the date of this Amendment it shall assign in full all right, title and interest to its Variable Funding Note (and all related Advances made thereunder) to SunTrust Bank.
