11

5694219.3 M5844.L07947

(d)

arising out of any breach by the Mortgagor of any term of this Mortgage,

All amounts suffered, incurred or paid by the Mortgagee or such receiver, agent or attorney or any of them shall be recoverable on a full indemnity basis provided that nothing in this Clause 11.1 shall require the Mortgagor to indemnify and hold harmless the Mortgagee from and against any expenses, claims, liabilities, losses, taxes, costs, duties, fees and charges suffered, incurred or made by the Mortgagee, any receiver, any agent or any attorney as a result of the Mortgagee's, receiver's, agent's or attorney's dishonesty, negligence or willful default.

APPENDIX B

CALCULATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

The Net Asset Value shall be calculated in accordance with Value Measurement ("ASC 820").

ASC 820 requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received when selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement dale.

ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritises and ranks the level of market price observability of inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factor, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Mortgagor is required to provide disclosures on fair value measurements according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the observability of the inputs used to determine fair values. Investments carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

Level1 -Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 -Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. which are either directly or indirectly observable.

 

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and where there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. The inputs for the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation and is based upon management's assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. These investments include debt and equity investments in private companies or assets valued using the market or income approach and may involve pricing models whose Inputs require significant judgment or estimation because of the absence of any meaningful current market data for identical or similar investments. The inputs in these valuations may include, but are not limited to, capitalization and discount rates, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") multiples. The information may also include pricing information or broker quotes that include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. Certain investments may be valued based upon estimated value of underlying collateral, and include adjustments deemed necessary for estimates of costs to obtain control and liquidate available collateral. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification as Level 3 information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at those quotations. Most of the Company's investments are private investments in companies whose securities are not actively traded in the market and for which quotations will not be available. For those investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed by the Manager not to represent fair value, our board of managers has approved a multi-step valuation process to be followed each fiscal quarter, as described below:

 

1.

Each investment is valued by TriLinc Advisors LLC (the "Manager") in collaboration with the relevant sub-advisor;

 

2.

For all investments with a maturity of greater than 12 months, TriLinc Global Impact Fund LLC (the "Fund") has engaged Duff & Phelps, LLC to conduct a review on the reasonableness of our internal estimates of fair value on each asset on a quarterly rotating basis, with each of such investments being reviewed at least annually, and provide an opinion that the Manager's estimate of fair value for each investment is reasonable;

 

3.

The audit committee of the Fund's board of managers reviews and discusses the preliminary valuation prepared by the Manager and any opinion rendered by Duff & Phelps; and

 

4.

The Fund's board of managers discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Manager, Duff & Phelps and the audit committee. The Fund's board of managers is ultimately responsible for the determination, in good faith, of the fair value of each investment.

Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Below is a description of factors that the Fund's board of managers may consider when valuing our investments.

Fixed income investments are typically valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including the sale of a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, interest and principal payments) to a single present value amount (discounted) calculated based on an appropriate discount rate. The measurement is based on the net present value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Manager may take into account in valuing the Mortgagor's investments include, as applicable: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the borrower's ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, the principal market for the borrower's securities and an estimate of the borrower's enterprise value, among other factors.

Equity interests in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are valued at fair value. The Fund's board of managers, in its analysis of fair value, may consider various factors, such as multiples of EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues or in limited instances book value or liquidation value. All of these factors may be subject to adjustments based upon the particular circumstances of a portfolio company or our actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners or the effects of acquisitions, recapitalizations, restructurings or other similar items.

The Manager may also look to private merger and acquisition statistics, public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity and other factors, valuations implied by third -party investments in the portfolio companies or industry practices in determining fair value. The Manager may also consider the size and scope of a portfolio company and its specific strengths and weaknesses, as well as any other factors the Manager deems relevant in measuring the fair values of our investments.
