(b) Each Lender shall, on the Loan Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, severally, but not jointly, make a term loan (a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrower in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Loans requested from all Lenders on the Loan Date.

Section 3.1 Borrowing Procedure. Borrowings of Loans shall be made in accordance with this Section 3.1 (Borrowing Procedures).

Section 3.1.1 Funding of the Borrowing. (a) No later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Loan Date, each Lender shall make available its pro rata share (based on such Lender’s Percentage) of the Aggregate Commitments in the manner provided below; provided, that all conditions to the Lenders to make Loans on the Loan Date set forth in Article IV have been satisfied. All such amounts shall be made available in Dollars, and in immediately available funds to the Collateral Trustee for deposit into the Ramp-Up Account or such other Borrower Account as may be as otherwise specified in writing by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Borrower). The Collateral Trustee shall deposit all such amounts upon receipt, as directed by the Collateral Manager or the Borrower, in accordance with the Indenture and Security Agreement.

(b) Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments and other commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

Section 3.2 Lender Notes. (a) On the Loan Date, the Borrower shall, to the extent requested by any Lender, (i) sign a Lender Note in the name of such Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the Aggregate Commitments, which such Lender Notes shall be dated the applicable Loan Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit A (a “Lender Note”) and (ii) deliver such Lender Note to such Lender (with a copy to the Loan Agent). If requested by any Lender, the Borrower shall obtain a CUSIP or other loan identification number that is customary for the nature of the Loans made hereunder. To the extent any Lender does not elect to receive a Lender Note, the Loan Agent shall, upon instruction of the Borrower, deliver to such Lender a Confirmation of Registration in the form of Exhibit D hereto.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Loan Agent to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on its internal records, which notations shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of, and the interest rate applicable to, the Loans evidenced thereby. The notations on such internal records indicating the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans made by such Lender shall be prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid, but the failure to record any such amount, or any error therein, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Lender Note to make payment of principal of or interest on such Loans when due. At any time (including, without limitation, to replace any Lender Note that has been destroyed or lost) when any Lender requests the delivery of a new Lender Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender the Lender Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that, other than in the case of a substitute or replacement Lender Note to replace a Lender Note that has been destroyed or lost, only one Lender Note shall be issued to any Lender and the Loan Agent shall not deliver a new Lender Note to any requesting Lender until such Lender surrenders the Lender Note currently held by such Lender; provided, further, that, in the case of a substitute or replacement Lender Note, the Borrower and the Loan Agent shall have received from such requesting Lender (i) evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Lender Note and (ii) there is delivered to the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee and/or such Loan Agent that such Lender Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Borrower shall execute and, upon receipt of such Lender Note, the Collateral Trustee shall deliver to the Holder, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Lender Note, a new Lender Note, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal or face amount, registered in the same manner, dated the date of its issuance, bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Lender Note and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding; provided, further, that, in connection with the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date of the Class A-1L Loans, each Lender shall surrender the Lender Notes to the Loan Agent for payment of the Redemption Price or final payment of principal of such Class A-1L Loans in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Such surrender shall occur either at the address specified herein for the Loan Agent or, with respect to any Redemption Date, in accordance with the redemption notice delivered pursuant to Article IX of the Indenture and Security Agreement.

If, after delivery of such new Lender Note, a protected purchaser of the predecessor Lender Note presents for payment, transfer or exchange such predecessor Lender Note, the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee and such Transfer Agent shall be entitled to recover such new Lender Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee and such Loan Agent in connection therewith.

In case any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Lender Note has become due and payable, the Borrower in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Lender Note pay such Lender Note without requiring surrender thereof except that any mutilated or defaced Lender Note shall be surrendered.

Upon the issuance of any new Lender Note under this Section 3.2, the Borrower may require the payment by the Lender thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Loan Agent and the Collateral Trustee) connected therewith.

All Lender Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, conversion, exchange or redemption, or mutilated, defaced or deemed lost or stolen, shall be promptly canceled by the Loan Agent and may not be reissued or resold. No Lender Note may be surrendered (including any surrender in connection with any abandonment, donation, gift, contribution or other event or circumstance) except for payment as provided herein, or for registration of transfer, exchange, conversion or redemption, or for replacement in connection with any Lender Note mutilated, defaced or deemed lost or stolen. Any such Lender Note shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Loan Agent, be delivered to the Loan Agent. All canceled Lender Notes held by the Loan Agent shall be destroyed or held by the Loan Agent in accordance with its standard retention policy unless the Borrower shall direct by an Issuer Order received prior to destruction that they be returned to it.

The provisions of this Section 3.2 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Lender Notes.

Section 3.3.1 Repayments and Prepayments. The Borrower shall make payments of unpaid principal of each Loan on each Payment Date after the Reinvestment Period to the extent provided in the Priority of Payments of the Indenture and Security Agreement. Prior thereto, the Loans must be repaid to the extent payments are required (or allowed) pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Indenture and Security Agreement and Section 3.3.3 (Mandatory Prepayment) or Section 9.6 of the Indenture and Security Agreement and Section 3.3.4 (Special Prepayment) herein, and may be voluntarily repaid (in whole or in part) on any Business Day to the extent payments are permitted pursuant to Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 of the Indenture and Security Agreement, and Section 3.3.5 (Optional Prepayment) or Section 9.8 of the Indenture and Security Agreement and Section 3.3.6 (Prepayment in Connection with Clean-Up Call Redemption of Secured Debt) herein.

Section 3.3.2 Application. Each prepayment of a Loan shall be subject to the terms of the Indenture and Security Agreement (including the subordination provisions set forth in Section 13.1 and the Priority of Payments set forth in Article XI thereof) and, except as set forth in Section 3.3.6 (Prepayment in Connection with Clean-Up Call Redemption of Secured Debt) below, the requirement to pay Lenders on a pro rata basis as set forth in Section 8.6 (Payments Pro Rata). The Loans that are prepaid shall receive the Redemption Price of such Loans, in each case, in accordance with the Indenture and Security Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Loans shall comprise and be a part of the Class A-1 Debt and, as such, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture and Security Agreement applicable to the Class A-1 Debt, and shall have the rights afforded in the Indenture and Security Agreement to the Class A-1 Debt (to the extent of the component thereof consisting of the Loans).

Section 3.3.3 Mandatory Prepayment. In connection with a Mandatory Redemption, if a Coverage Test is not met on any Determination Date on which such Coverage Test is applicable, the Borrower shall apply available amounts in the Payment Account pursuant to the Priority of Payments on the related Payment Date to make payments on the Secured Debt (including the Loans) as set forth in Section 9.1 of the Indenture and Security Agreement (a “Mandatory Prepayment”).

Section 3.3.4 Special Prepayment. In connection with a Special Redemption, principal payments on the Loans shall be made in part in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date (i) after the Effective Date, if the Collateral Manager notifies the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent that a redemption is required pursuant to Section 7.18 of the Indenture and Security Agreement in order to (A) satisfy the Effective Date S&P Conditions or (B) obtain from S&P its written confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Secured Debt or (ii) during the Reinvestment Period, if the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion notifies the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Special Redemption Date that it has been unable, for a period of at least twenty (20) consecutive Business Days, to identify additional Collateral Obligations that are deemed appropriate by the Collateral Manager, in its sole discretion, and which would satisfy the Investment Criteria in sufficient amounts to permit the investment or reinvestment of all or a portion of the funds then in the Collection Account that are to be invested in additional Collateral Obligations and the Collateral Manager elects, in its sole discretion, to designate all or a portion of those funds as a Special Redemption Amount (each, a “Special Prepayment”).

In the event of any Special Prepayment pursuant to clause (ii), the Loan Agent shall notify the Lenders thereof in writing in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and Security Agreement.

Section 3.3.5 Optional Prepayment. In connection with an Optional Redemption of the Class A-1 Debt under Section 9.2 of the Indenture and Security Agreement, the Loans shall be repaid in whole but not in part from Sale Proceeds and/or Refinancing Proceeds. In connection with a Tax Redemption of the Class A-1 Debt under Section 9.3 of the Indenture and Security Agreement, the Loans shall be prepaid (each, an “Optional Prepayment”) by the Borrower, in whole on the same Business Day as such Optional Redemption or Tax Redemption.

Following receipt by the Loan Agent of a notice of prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 3.3.5 (Optional Prepayment), the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion shall (except in the case of a Refinancing) direct the sale (and manner thereof, which may be by participation) of all or part of the Collateral Obligations and other Assets in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article IX of the Indenture and Security Agreement.

In connection with any Optional Prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.3.5 (Optional Prepayment), upon notification from the Borrower or the Collateral Trustee (as applicable) as required by the Indenture and Security Agreement, the Loan Agent shall notify the Lenders thereof in writing within the same time periods permitted for notice by the Collateral Trustee to the Holders of a Redemption Date under the Indenture and Security Agreement.

Section 3.3.6 Prepayment in Connection with Clean-Up Call Redemption of Secured Debt. In connection with a Clean-Up Call Redemption of the Secured Debt under Section 9.8 of the Indenture and Security Agreement, the Loans may be prepaid (each, a “Clean-Up Call Prepayment”) by the Borrower as and to the extent set forth in such Section 9.8 of the Indenture and Security Agreement.

Following receipt by the Loan Agent of a notice of prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 3.3.6 (Prepayment in Connection with Clean-Up Call Redemption of Secured Debt), the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion shall direct the sale (and manner thereof, which may be by participation) of all or part of the Collateral Obligations and other Assets in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article IX of the Indenture and Security Agreement.

In connection with any Clean-Up Call Prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.3.6 (Prepayment in Connection with Clean-Up Call Redemption of Secured Debt), upon notification from the Borrower or the Collateral Trustee (as applicable) as required by the Indenture and Security Agreement, the Loan Agent shall notify the Lenders thereof in writing within the same time periods permitted for notice by the Collateral Trustee to the Holders of a Redemption Date under the Indenture and Security Agreement.

Section 3.3.7 Re-Pricing. For avoidance of doubt, the Loans and the Class A-1A Notes will not be subject to Re-Pricing.

(a) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in respect of each Loan, on each Payment Date and on any date of prepayment or repayment of such Loan, commencing on the first Payment Date following the Loan Date in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and Security Agreement (including the subordination provisions set forth in Section 13.1 of the Indenture and Security Agreement and the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 11.1 thereof). For each Loan, interest shall accrue during each Interest Accrual Period on the unpaid Aggregate Outstanding Amount of such Loan thereof on the first day of the applicable Interest Accrual Period.

(b) Interest due and payable shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.8 of the Indenture and Security Agreement.

(c) The Borrower shall make all payments of interest to the Loan Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with Section 3.5 (Method and Place of Payment).

(d) The Lenders hereby consent to the Borrower’s appointment of the Collateral Trustee to serve as Calculation Agent under this Agreement. All computations of the Benchmark hereunder shall be made by the Calculation Agent in accordance with Section 8.7 (Calculations; Computations) hereof. The Borrower hereby agrees that for so long as any Class A-1L Loans remain Outstanding, there will at all times be a Calculation Agent appointed under the Indenture and Security Agreement to calculate the Benchmark in respect of the Class A-1L Loans.

(e) In no event shall the rate of interest applicable to any Loan exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law.

(f) Upon an assignment of Loans pursuant to Section 8.4 (Benefit of Agreement), unless otherwise directed by the assignor Lender, the assigned Loans shall trade without accrued interest and the Loan Agent shall, on the Payment Date immediately succeeding the date of assignment, disburse to (x) the assignor Lender the interest accrued on such assigned Loan from and including the previous Payment Date (or in the case of the first Interest Accrual Period, the applicable Loan Date) to but excluding such date of assignment and (y) the assignee Lender the interest accrued on such assigned Loan from and including such date of assignment to but excluding such Payment Date.

Section 3.5 Method and Place of Payment. To the extent funds are available pursuant to the Priority of Payments, all payments by the Borrower of principal and interest in respect of Loans hereunder and all fees and all other Loans hereunder shall be made in accordance with Sections 2.8(e) and 11.1 of the Indenture and Security Agreement.

Payments in respect of interest on and principal of any Secured Debt shall be made by the Loan Agent by wire transfer to each Lender in accordance with the instructions specified in Schedule 3 hereto (or in the Assignment Agreement, as applicable) in immediately available funds.

(a) Incorporation of Subordination Provisions of the Indenture and Security Agreement. All Loans incurred pursuant to this Agreement are subject to, and each Lender hereby consents and agrees to, the subordination and remedy provisions set forth in Section 13.1 of the Indenture and Security Agreement. Sections 2.8(i) and 13.1 of the Indenture and Security Agreement shall be binding upon each Lender as though such sections (and the corresponding defined terms) had been set forth herein in their entirety.

(b) Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of its Loans are subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Indenture and Security Agreement. Each Lender hereby agrees and acknowledges that its right to payment shall be subordinate and junior to certain other payment obligations senior in right of payments, as expressly provided in the Priority of Payments (collectively, the “Senior Items”) of the Indenture and Security Agreement. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture and Security Agreement, any Lender shall have received any payment or distribution in respect of its Loans contrary to the provisions of the Indenture and Security Agreement or this Agreement, then, unless and until each Senior Item shall have been paid in full in Cash or, to the extent each recipient of such Senior Item consents, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of, and shall forthwith be paid over and delivered to, the Collateral Trustee, which shall pay and deliver the same in respect of the Senior Items in accordance with the Indenture and Security Agreement; provided, however, that if any such payment or distribution is made other than in Cash, it shall be held by the Collateral Trustee as part of the Assets and subject in all respects to the provisions of the Indenture and Security Agreement. Each Lender agrees with all recipients of Senior Items that such Lender shall not demand, accept, or receive any payment or distribution in respect of its Loans in violation of the provisions of the Indenture and Security Agreement. Nothing in this Section 3.6(b) (Subordination) shall affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Lenders hereunder.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon delivery from any Converting Lender to the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Manager and the Borrower of a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, the Converting Lender may elect any Business Day (such Business Day, the “Conversion Date”) upon which all or a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans held by such Converting Lender shall be converted into Class A-1A Notes of an equal aggregate principal amount in accordance with Section 2.6(o) of the Indenture and Security Agreement; provided that (x) the Conversion Date shall be no earlier than the fifth Business Day following the date such notice is delivered (or such later date as may be reasonably agreed to by the Converting Lender, the Loan Agent and the Collateral Trustee) and may not be between a Record Date and a Payment Date and (y) such conversion shall be in a Minimum Denomination; provided, further, that if the Loans to be so converted have been assigned pursuant to Section 8.4 (Benefit of Agreement) hereof on any Business Day subsequent to the immediately prior Payment Date, then the Conversion Date shall only occur on a Payment Date; provided, further, that the Conversion Date must occur prior to the related Record Date and in no case may a Conversion Date occur between a Record Date or Determination Date (whichever is earlier) and a Payment Date. If such Converting Lender is converting its Loans into Class A-1A Notes in the form of interests in a Global Note, the Collateral Trustee must receive (a) instructions given in accordance with DTC’s procedures from an Agent Member directing the Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note in an amount equal to the Loans being converted and (b) a written order given in accordance with DTC’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of DTC and the Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase. On the Conversion Date, (i) the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A-1A Notes shall be increased by the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans so converted and (ii) the Loans so converted shall cease to be Outstanding and shall be deemed to have been repaid in full for all purposes hereunder and under the Indenture and Security Agreement, other than in respect of any interest payable on the next succeeding Payment Date to the Lender of such Loans for the portion of the related Interest Accrual Period occurring prior to the Conversion Date, which interest shall be payable on the Class A-1A Notes as more fully described below. The Collateral Trustee shall either (A) if such Holder is converting its Loans into Class A-1A Notes in the form of interests in Global Notes, approve the instructions at DTC, concurrently with such cancellation, to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Loans converted or (B) if such Holder is converting its Loans into Class A-1A Notes in the form of Certificated Notes, upon execution by the Borrower, authenticate and deliver one or more Certificated Notes representing Class A-1A Notes endorsed for transfer, registered in the name of the applicable Holder, in an Aggregate Outstanding Amount equal to the principal amount of the Loans being converted by such Holder, in each case, subject to the Minimum Denominations set forth in Section 2.3 of the Indenture and Security Agreement or in an amount equal to the entire remaining principal amount of the Loans of the applicable Converting Lender. Interest accrued on the Loans so converted since the prior Payment Date (or the applicable Loan Date, if no Payment Date has occurred or, with respect to any additional Loans, the applicable date of such loan, if no Payment Date has occurred since the first date of such loan) shall, as of the Conversion Date, be deemed to have been Outstanding on the Class A-1A Notes since such prior Payment Date (or the applicable Loan Date, if no Payment Date has occurred or, with respect to any additional Loans, the applicable date of such loan, if no Payment Date has occurred since the first date of such loan) and shall thereafter accrue at the Interest Rate applicable to the Class A-1A Notes. No Class A-1A Notes may be converted into Loans.

(b) The Borrower, the Collateral Manager and any Converting Lender agree to provide reasonable assistance to the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent in connection with such conversion, including, but not limited to, providing applicable instructions to DTC.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Conversion Option is exercised during an Interest Accrual Period during which the Loans have been assigned, the Collateral Trustee shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the Class A-1A Notes (including interest deemed to be accrued and unpaid on the Class A-1A Notes in accordance with Section 3.7(a) (Conversion)) on the related Payment Date to the Holder as of the applicable Record Date (regardless of whether the Record Date occurred prior to or after the effectiveness of the conversion).

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to exercise a Conversion Option concurrently with an assignment of all or a portion of its Loans (an “Assignment/Conversion”) such that the Assignment Date (as defined in the Assignment Agreement attached as Exhibit B hereto) of the assignment occurs on the related Conversion Date and the assignee receives Class A-1A Notes in lieu of the portion of the Loans being assigned. Any assignment made in connection with an Assignment/Conversion shall meet the requirements for an assignment set forth in Section 8.4 (Benefit of Agreement). Any Lender electing to make an Assignment/Conversion shall deliver to the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Manager and the Borrower at least five Business Days prior to the Conversion Date, (w) an executed Assignment Agreement, (x) a completed notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, (y) the assignment fee required to be paid pursuant to Section 8.4(c) (Benefit of Agreement) hereof and (z) a transferee representation letter substantially in the form of the applicable exhibit to the Indenture and Security Agreement.

(e) The Borrower shall provide notice to S&P of any conversion under this Section 3.7 (Conversion).

Section 4.1 Loan Date. The obligations of the Lenders to make Loans on the Loan Date shall not become effective until the date on which each of the conditions set forth in this Article IV are satisfied, including the receipt by the Collateral Trustee of the following:

If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Borrower, the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Borrower, will be required to appoint promptly a replacement Calculation Agent which does not control and is not controlled by or under common control with the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or their respective Affiliates and provide notice thereof to the Collateral Trustee and the Collateral Administrator.

At such time, the Calculation Agent will communicate such rates and amounts to the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent (to be forwarded by the Loan Agent to the Lenders), each Paying Agent, the Collateral Manager, DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream. The Calculation Agent will also specify to the Borrower the quotations upon which the foregoing rates and amounts are based, and in any event the Calculation Agent shall notify the Borrower before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on every Interest Determination Date if it has not determined and is not in the process of determining any such Interest Rate or Debt Interest Amount together with its reasons therefor.

(a) As of the Loan Date, the Borrower shall elect to be classified, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a disregarded entity wholly owned by the sole beneficial owner of the Preferred Shares and shall not take any action or permit any other Person to take any action that would cause it to be treated as other than a disregarded entity or a partnership (that is not a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. So long as there is one beneficial owner of the Preferred Shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes, each of the Borrower and such beneficial owner agree to treat the assets and liabilities of the Borrower as those of the sole beneficial owner. The Borrower will treat the Secured Debt, to the extent outstanding for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as debt and the Preferred Shares as equity, in each case, for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes and will take no action inconsistent with such treatment unless required by law.

(b) The Borrower shall prepare and file, or shall hire accountants and the accountants shall cause to be prepared and filed (and, where applicable, delivered to the Borrower or Holders) for each taxable year of the Borrower the federal, state and local income tax returns and reports as required under the Code, or any tax returns or information tax returns required by any governmental authority which the Borrower is required to file (and, where applicable, deliver), and shall provide to each Holder any information that such Holder reasonably requests in order for such Holder to comply with its U.S. federal, state or local tax and information return and reporting obligations.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall take any and all reasonable actions that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Borrower satisfies any and all withholding and tax payment obligations under Code Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446, 1471 and 1472, and any other provision of the Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower may withhold any amount that it or any advisor retained by the Collateral Trustee on its behalf determines is required to be withheld from any amounts otherwise distributable to any Person.

(d) The Borrower shall treat each purchase of Collateral Obligations (other than those transferred to it from a Person from whom the Borrower is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes) as a “purchase” for tax accounting and reporting purposes.

(e) If required to prevent the withholding and imposition of U.S. federal income tax on payments made to the Borrower, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered an IRS Form W-9 of its sole beneficial owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes or, for periods during which the Borrower is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its own IRS Form W-9 (or applicable successor of such IRS form) to each Obligor of, or counterparty or paying agent with respect to, an Asset at the time such Asset is acquired or entered into by the Borrower and thereafter prior to the obsolescence or expiration of such form.

(f) Upon the Collateral Trustee’s receipt of a request by a Holder of Secured Debt or by a Person certifying that it is an owner of a beneficial interest in Secured Debt for the information described in Treasury regulations Section 1.1275-3(b)(1)(i) that is applicable to such Holder or beneficial owner, the Borrower shall cause its Independent accountants to provide promptly to the Collateral Trustee and such requesting Holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Secured Debt all of such information.

(g) No more than 50% of the debt obligations (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) held by the Borrower may at any time consist of real estate mortgages as determined for purposes of Section 7701(i) of the Code unless, based on an opinion or advice from Paul Hastings LLP or Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, or an opinion of other nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters, the ownership or such debt obligations will not cause the Borrower to be treated as a taxable mortgage pool for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(h) In connection with a Re-Pricing or designation of a Fallback Rate that results in a deemed exchange of Secured Debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Borrower will cause its Independent accountants to assist the Borrower in complying with any requirements under Treasury regulations Section 1.1273-2(f)(9) (or any successor provision), including (i) determining whether Secured Debt subject to such Re-Pricing or designation of a Fallback Rate are traded on an established market, (ii) if so traded, causing its Independent accountants to determine the fair market value of such Secured Debt, and (iii) making available such fair market value determination to Holders and beneficial owners of such Secured Debt in a commercially reasonable fashion, including by electronic publication, within 90 days after the effective date of such Re-Pricing or designation of a Fallback Rate.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Manager, the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Administrator, the Initial Purchaser, the Holders and beneficial owners of the Debt and each employee, representative or other agent of those Persons, may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Indenture and Security Agreement and all materials of any kind, including opinions or other tax analyses,

that are provided to those Persons. This authorization to disclose the U.S. tax treatment and tax structure does not permit disclosure of information identifying the Collateral Manager, the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Administrator, the Initial Purchaser or any other party to the transactions contemplated by the Indenture and Security Agreement.

(j) Upon written request, the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent and the Registrar shall provide to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or any agent thereof in accordance with Section 14.3 of the Indenture and Security Agreement, any information specified by such parties regarding the Holders of the Debt and payments on the Debt that is reasonably available to the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or the Registrar, as the case may be, and may reasonably be necessary for the Borrower to comply with FATCA and the CRS.

(k) The Borrower (or an agent acting on its behalf) will take such reasonable actions, including hiring agents or advisors, consistent with law and its obligations under this Agreement or the Indenture and Security Agreement, as are necessary for compliance with FATCA and the CRS including appointing any agent or representative to perform due diligence, withholding or reporting obligations of the Borrower pursuant to FATCA and the CRS, and any other action that the Borrower would be permitted to take under the Indenture necessary for compliance with FATCA and the CRS.

Section 5.15 Representations Relating to Security Interests in the Assets. (a) The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that, as of the Loan Date (which representations and warranties shall survive the execution of this Agreement and be deemed to be repeated on each date on which an Asset is Granted to the Collateral Trustee under the Indenture and Security Agreement), with respect to the Assets:

(i) The Borrower owns each Asset free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person, other than such as are being released on the Loan Date contemporaneously with the sale or incurrence, as applicable, of the Debt on the Loan Date or on the related Cut-Off Date contemporaneously with the purchase of such Asset on the Cut-Off Date, created under, or permitted by, the Indenture and Security Agreement and any other Permitted Liens.

(ii) The Borrower has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Assets to the pledge under the Indenture and Security Agreement to the Collateral Trustee of its interest and rights in the Assets.

(c) The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that, as of the Loan Date (which representations and warranties shall survive the execution of this Agreement and the Indenture and Security Agreement and be deemed to be repeated on each date on which an Asset is Granted to the Collateral Trustee under the Indenture and Security Agreement), with respect to the Assets that constitute Security Entitlements:

(i) All of such Assets have been and will have been credited to one of the Accounts which are securities accounts within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC or “deposit accounts” as defined in Section 9-102(a) of the UCC. The Securities Intermediary for each Account that is a securities account has agreed to treat all assets other than cash or general intangibles credited to such Accounts as “financial assets” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) the UCC.

(iii) (x) the Borrower has caused or shall have caused, within ten days after the Loan Date, the filing of all appropriate Financing Statements in the proper office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest granted to the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties under the Indenture and Security Agreement and (y)(A) the Borrower has delivered to the Collateral Trustee a fully executed Securities Account Control Agreement pursuant to which the Custodian has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Collateral Trustee relating to the Accounts without further consent by the Borrower or (B) the Borrower has taken all steps necessary to cause the Custodian to identify in its records the Collateral Trustee as the person having a security entitlement against the Custodian in each of the Accounts.

Section 5.17 Investment Company Act; Volcker Rule. None of the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is or is required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Borrower will be a “covered fund” under the Volcker Rule because (i) it is an entity that would be an investment company under the Investment Company Act but for its reliance on the exemption provided by Section 3(c)(7) thereunder; and (ii) it is not taking any action to qualify for any of the exclusions from the definition of “covered fund,” including the loan securitization exclusion. The Borrower believes that the Class A-1L Loans will not constitute an “ownership interest” in a “covered fund” for purposes of the Volcker Rule.

Section 5.18 OFAC. Neither the Borrower, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, any director, officer, employee, agent, affiliate or representative thereof, is an individual or entity that is, or is owned or controlled by any individual or entity that is (i) currently the subject or target of any Sanctions, (ii) included on OFAC’s List of Specially Designated Nationals, HMT’s Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets and the Investment Ban List, or any similar list enforced by any other relevant sanctions authority or (iii) located, organized or resident in a Designated Jurisdiction.

The Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of any Loan for any purpose which would breach the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the UK Bribery Act 2010, and other similar anti-corruption legislation in other jurisdictions.

Section 5.20 Sanctions. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of any Loan, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other individual or entity, to fund any activities of or business with any individual or entity, or in any Designated Jurisdiction, that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of Sanctions, or in any other manner that will result in a violation by any individual or entity (including any individual or entity participating in the transaction, whether as Lender or otherwise) of Sanctions.

The Borrower covenants and represents that neither it nor any of its Affiliates, subsidiaries, directors or officers are the target or subject of any sanctions enforced by the U.S. Government (including OFAC), the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, HM Treasury, or other relevant sanctions authority.

Section 5.21 PATRIOT Act. The Lenders hereby notify the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the U.S. Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow the Lenders to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act.

(g) the institution by the Borrower of Proceedings to have the Borrower adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent of the Borrower to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency Proceedings against the Borrower, or the filing by the Borrower of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any Bankruptcy Law or any other similar applicable law, or the consent by the Borrower to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment in a Proceeding of a receiver, liquidator, provisional liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Borrower or of any substantial part of its property, respectively, or the making by the Borrower of an

Section 6.3 Remedies. Remedies for an Event of Default are granted to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Indenture and Security Agreement.

Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the Holder of any Lender Note (or the registered Holder of a Loan in the form of a Confirmation of Registration) shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or indorsee, as the case may be, of such Lender Note (or Confirmation of Registration) or of any Lender Note or Lender Notes (or Confirmation of Registration) or Class A-1A Notes issued in exchange therefor.

(b) The Loan Agent may deem and treat the transferee of a properly executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 8.4(b) (Benefit of Agreement) whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender under this Agreement with all of the same rights and obligations as a Holder of a Lender Note, whether or not such Lender requests a Lender Note pursuant to Section 3.2 (Lender Notes), for all purposes hereof unless and until the Loan Agent receives and accepts a subsequent Assignment Agreement properly executed and delivered pursuant to Section 8.4(b) (Benefit of Agreement).

(i) to pay each of the Loan Agent and the Collateral Trustee on each Payment Date, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as set forth in Section 2.2 (Fees) hereof;

(ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein and subject to the Priority of Payments, to reimburse the Loan Agent (subject to any written agreement between the Borrower and the Loan Agent) in a timely manner upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Loan Agent in accordance with any provision of this Agreement or other Transaction Document (including, without limitation, securities transaction charges and the reasonable compensation and expenses and disbursements of its agents and legal counsel and of any pricing service, accounting firm or investment banking firm employed by the Loan Agent

pursuant to the Indenture and Security Agreement, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to the Loan Agent’s negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith); but with respect to securities transaction charges, only to the extent any such charges have not been waived during a Collection Period due to the Loan Agent’s receipt of a payment from a financial institution with respect to certain Eligible Investments, as specified by the Collateral Manager; and

(iii) to indemnify the Loan Agent and its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, advisors and agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable counsel’s fees and expenses) of any type or nature incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Agreement and the Credit Documents or the performance of its duties hereunder or thereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder or any other document related hereto.

This Section 7.9 (Compensation and Reimbursement) shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the removal or resignation of the Loan Agent.

(b) The Loan Agent hereby agree not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Borrower for the non-payment to the Loan Agent of any amounts provided by this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, this Section 7.9 (Compensation and Reimbursement) hereof until at least one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) plus one day after the payment in full of all Debt. Nothing in this Section 7.9 (Compensation and Reimbursement) hereof shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Loan Agent (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) plus one day in (A) any case or Proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Borrower or (B) any involuntary insolvency Proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Loan Agent, or (ii) from commencing against the Borrower or any of its properties, any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation Proceeding. This Section 7.9(b) (Compensation and Reimbursement) shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the removal or resignation of the Loan Agent.

(c) The Loan Agent acknowledges that all payments payable to it under this Agreement shall be subject to the Priority of Payments in the Indenture and Security Agreement and payable as Administrative Expenses. If, on any date when any amount shall be payable to the Loan Agent pursuant to this Agreement, insufficient funds are available for the payment thereof, any portion of a fee or expense not so paid shall be deferred and payable on such later date on which a fee or expense shall be payable and sufficient funds are available. Following realization of the Assets and distribution of proceeds in the manner provided in the Priority of Payments in the Indenture and Security Agreement, any obligations of the Borrower and any claims of the Loan Agent against the Borrower shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. This Section 7.9(c) (Compensation and Reimbursement) shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the removal or resignation or the Loan Agent.

(d) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Loan Agent be liable for punitive, special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits).

(e) The Borrower’s payment obligations to Loan Agent under this Section 7.9 (Compensation and Reimbursement) shall be secured by the lien of the Indenture and Security Agreement, and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Loan Agent, as applicable. When the Loan Agent incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under the Indenture and Security Agreement, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Bankruptcy Law or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 7.10 Loan Agent Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Loan Agent hereunder which shall be organizations or entities organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof, each having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000 and meeting the eligibility criteria specified in Section 6.8 of the Indenture and Security Agreement. If at any time the Loan Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.10 (Loan Agent Required; Eligibility) hereof, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VII (The Collateral Trustee and Loan Agent).

Section 7.11 Resignation and Removal of Loan Agent; Appointment of Successor Loan Agent. (a) No resignation or removal of the Loan Agent and no appointment of a successor loan agent with respect to the applicable Agent (the “Successor Loan Agent”) pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the Successor Loan Agent under Section 7.12 (Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Loan Agent). The indemnification in favor of the Loan Agent in Section 7.9 (Compensation and Reimbursement) hereof shall survive any resignation or removal (to the extent of any indemnified liabilities, costs, expenses and other amounts arising or incurred prior to, or arising out of actions or omissions occurring prior to such resignation or removal).

(b) The Loan Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 30 days written notice thereof to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, each Holder (including each Lender) and the Rating Agency. If the Loan Agent shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Loan Agent for any reason, the Borrower shall promptly appoint a Successor Loan Agent by Issuer Order, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Loan Agent, the Successor Loan Agent, each Holder and the Collateral Manager; provided, that such Successor Loan Agent shall be appointed by an Act of a Majority of the Loans. If no Successor Loan Agent shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a Successor Loan Agent shall not have been delivered to the resigning Successor Loan Agent within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Successor Loan Agent or any Holder, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a Successor Loan Agent satisfying the requirements of Section 7.10.

(c) The Successor Loan Agent so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the Successor Loan Agent and supersede any Successor Loan Agent proposed by the Borrower. If no Successor Loan Agent shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a Successor Loan Agent shall not have been delivered to the Loan Agent within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Agent, or any Holder, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a Successor Loan Agent satisfying the requirements of Section 7.10 (Loan Agent Required; Eligibility) hereof.

(d) The Loan Agent may be removed at any time by Act of a Majority of the Lenders.

(i) the Loan Agent shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.10 (Loan Agent Required; Eligibility) hereof and shall fail to resign after request therefor by the Borrower or by a Majority of the Lenders; or

(ii) the Loan Agent shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver or liquidator of the Loan Agent or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Loan Agent or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

then, in any such case (subject to Section 7.11(a) (Resignation and Removal of Loan Agent; Appointment of Successor Loan Agent) hereof), (A) the Borrower, by an Issuer Order, may remove the Loan Agent, or (B) any Lender may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Loan Agent and the appointment of a Successor Loan Agent.

(f) If the Loan Agent shall be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Loan Agent for any reason (other than resignation), the Borrower, by Issuer Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Loan Agent; provided, that such successor Loan Agent shall be appointed by an Act of a Majority of the Loans. If no successor Loan Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, subject to Section 6.9 of the Indenture and Security Agreement, any Lender may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Loan Agent.

(g) The Borrower shall give prompt notice of each resignation and each removal of the Loan Agent and each appointment of a Successor Loan Agent to the Collateral Trustee, the Rating Agency and to each Lender. Such notice shall include the name of the Successor Loan Agent and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. If the Borrower fails to provide such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the Successor Loan Agent, the Successor Loan Agent shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Borrower.

(h) Any resignation or removal of the Collateral Trustee under the Indenture and Security Agreement shall be an effective resignation or removal of State Street in all capacities hereunder and under the Indenture and Security Agreement.

Section 7.12 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Loan Agent. Every Successor Loan Agent appointed hereunder and qualified under Section 7.10 (Loan Agent Required; Eligibility) hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Borrower and the retiring Agent an instrument accepting such appointment and agreeing to be bound by this Agreement and, to the extent such Successor Loan Agent shall be a party thereto, the Indenture and Security Agreement and the Securities Account Control Agreement. Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation or removal of the retiring Loan Agent shall become effective and such Successor Loan Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Agent; but, on request of the Borrower or a Majority of the Loans or the Successor Loan Agent, such retiring Agent shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such Successor Loan Agent all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Agent, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such Successor Loan Agent all property held by such retiring Loan Agent hereunder. Upon request of any such Successor Loan Agent, the Borrower shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such Successor Loan Agent all such rights, powers and trusts.

Section 7.13 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Loan Agent. Any entity into which the Loan Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Loan Agent shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Loan Agent, shall be the successor of the Loan Agent hereunder; provided that such entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VII (The Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent) hereof, without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, further, that the Loan Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, each Lender, and the Rating Agency.

Section 7.14 Representations and Warranties of State Street. State Street hereby represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Organization. It has been duly organized and is validly existing as a trust company with trust powers under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and has the power to conduct its business and affairs as a collateral trustee, paying agent, registrar, transfer agent, custodian, calculation agent and securities intermediary.

(b) Authorization; Binding Obligations. It has the corporate power and authority to perform the duties and obligations under this Agreement. It has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and all of the documents required to be executed by State Street pursuant hereto. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by State Street and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of State Street enforceable in accordance with its terms subject, as to enforcement, (i) to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights as such laws would apply in the event of any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency or similar event applicable to State Street and (ii) to general equitable principles (whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(d) No Conflict. Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the Indenture and Security Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Indenture and Security Agreement, (i) is prohibited by, or requires State Street to obtain any consent, authorization, approval or registration under, any law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree that is binding upon State Street or any of its properties or assets, or (ii) will violate any provision of, result in any default or acceleration of any obligations under, result in the creation or imposition of any lien pursuant to, or require any consent under, any material agreement to which State Street is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound.

Section 8.1 Payment of Expenses, etc. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (A) of the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee and the Lenders in connection with any amendment, waiver or consent of the Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein and (B) of the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee and each of the Lenders in connection with any Default or with the enforcement of the Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Trustee, counsel for the Loan Agent and one (1) counsel in total for all Lenders, collectively). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee and any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under Applicable Law, subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preceding sentence and the Priority of Payments. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 8.1 (Payment of Expenses) shall be made on the first Payment Date that funds are available for such payments as an Administrative Expense in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 8.2 Right of Setoff. Each Lender hereby waives any right of setoff that the Lender may have against the Borrower in respect of any Obligation arising hereunder or under the Lender Notes.

Section 8.3 Notices. (a) all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopier or electronic mail (if an e-mail address for the relevant party is set forth in the Indenture and Security Agreement)) and mailed or delivered, if to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Rating Agency, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee and/or any Lender, at its address specified in the Indenture and Security Agreement (or, in the case of any Lender, in Schedule 2 hereof), in the case of any Lender becoming party hereto after the Loan Date, the related Assignment Agreement; or, at such other address as shall be designated by any party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given or made as of: the date so delivered, if delivered personally or by

overnight courier; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; if sent by electronic mail (if an e-mail address for the relevant party is set forth in the Indenture and Security Agreement or herein, as applicable), when received in the electronic mail account thereof and three (3) calendar days after mailing if sent by registered or certified mail (except that a notice of change of address shall not be deemed to have been given until actually received by the addressee).

(b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent may, prior to receipt of written confirmation, act without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Collateral Trustee and/or the Loan Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower and/or the Collateral Manager (including an Officer thereof). In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Collateral Trustee’s and/or the Loan Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice absent manifest error.

(c) In the event that any provision in this Agreement calls for any notice or document to be delivered simultaneously to the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent and any other person or entity, the Collateral Trustee’s and the Loan Agent’s receipt of such notice or document shall entitle the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent to assume that such notice was delivered to such other person or entity unless otherwise expressly specified herein or unless the Collateral Trustee or Loan Agent is responsible for sending such notice or document pursuant to the Indenture and Security Agreement or hereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement or in any agreement or document related hereto, any documents (including reports, notices or supplemental indenture) required to be provided by the Collateral Trustee or the Loan Agent to the Lenders may be provided by providing notice of, and access to, the Collateral Trustee’s website containing such document.

(e) State Street (in each of its capacities) shall accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to the this Agreement, Indenture and Security Agreement or any documents executed in connection therewith sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided however that, any person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to State Street an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to provide such instructions or directions, which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person is added or deleted from the listing. If such person elects to give State Street email (or .pdf or similar files) or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and State Street in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, State Street’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. State Street shall not be liable for any losses, costs or other expenses arising directly or indirectly from State Street’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Any person providing such instructions or directions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to State Street, including without limitation the risk of State Street acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

Section 8.4 Benefit of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto to the extent permitted under this Section 8.4 (Benefit of Agreement); provided, that, except as provided in Section 5.10 (Successor Substituted) of this Agreement, the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender. Each Lender may at any time grant participations in any of its rights hereunder to one or more commercial banks, insurance companies, funds or other financial institutions; provided, that in the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; and provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer, grant or assign any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Lender Note in which such participant is participating or waive any Mandatory Prepayment thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase such participant’s participating interest in any Lender Note over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or a Mandatory Prepayment, shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Lender Note), (y) release all or substantially all of the Assets (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents), or (z) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (except as provided in Section 5.10 (Successor Substituted) of this Agreement); and provided, further, that each participation shall be subject to the related participant providing a representation and warranty to the Lender from which it is acquiring its participation that it is (x) a Qualified Purchaser and a Qualified Institutional Buyer or (y) a non-U.S. Person that is a Qualified Purchaser.

(b) Any Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, such Lender’s Loans, Lender Note and other Loans) to one or more commercial banks, insurance companies, funds or other financial institutions (including one or more Lenders) that is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser. No assignment pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to an institution other than an Affiliate of such Lender or another Lender shall be in an aggregate amount less than (unless the entire outstanding Loan of the assigning Lender is so assigned) $250,000. No consent of the Borrower or the Loan Agent shall be required for any assignment by a Lender to (x) an Affiliate of such Lender, (y) a Conduit Lender or (z) another Lender. If any Lender so sells or assigns all or a part of its rights hereunder or under the Lender Notes, any reference in this Agreement or the Lender Notes to such assigning Lender shall thereafter refer to such Lender and to the respective assignee to the extent of their respective interests and the respective assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same rights and benefits as it would if it were such assigning Lender.

(c) Each assignment pursuant to Section 8.4(b) (Benefit of Agreement) shall be effected by the assigning Lender and the assignee Lender executing an Assignment Agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”), which Assignment Agreement shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B (appropriately completed); provided, that, in each case, unless otherwise consented to by the Borrower, the Assignment Agreement shall contain a representation and warranty by the

assignee to the Loan Agent and the Borrower that such assignee is an Approved Lender. In the event of (and at the time of) any such assignment, either the assigning Lender or the assignee Lender shall pay to the Loan Agent a nonrefundable assignment fee of up to $3,500, and at the time of any assignment pursuant to subclause (b) of this Section 8.4 (Benefit of Agreement), (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the Lender Note (or the Confirmation of Registration in lieu thereof) of the respective assignee (which shall result in a direct reduction to the Lender Note of the assigning Lender) and of the other Lenders, and (ii) the Borrower shall issue new Lender Notes (or Confirmation of Registration) to the respective assignee and/or to the assigning Lender, as applicable, in conformity with the requirements of Sections 3.2 (Lender Notes) and 8.16 (Register). No transfer or assignment under subclause (b) of this Section 8.4 shall be effective until recorded by the Loan Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 8.16 (Register). To the extent of any assignment pursuant to subclause (b) of this Section 8.4 (Benefit of Agreement), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Lender Note (or Confirmation of Registration). Each Lender and the Borrower agree to execute such documents (including amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents) as shall be necessary to effect the foregoing. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Lender Notes or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank.

Section 8.5 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower or any other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 8.6 Payments Pro Rata. (a) The Collateral Trustee agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Loans hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Loan Agent for remittance to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has expressly waived its right to receive its pro rata share thereof) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Loans with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Commitment then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Commitment then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for Cash without

recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Loans to such other Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such disproportionate sum received; provided, that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding subclauses (a) and (b) of this Section 8.6 (Payments Pro Rata) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders and to Section 3.3.6 (Prepayment in Connection with Clean-Up Call Redemption of the Secured Debt) of this Agreement.

Section 8.7 Calculations; Computations. All computations of interest hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable Notional Accrual Period or Interest Accrual Period divided by 360.

Section 8.8 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOANS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY THE LOANS (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this Agreement or any matter between the parties arising under or in connection with this Agreement (“Proceedings”), each party irrevocably: (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof; and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party. Nothing in this Agreement precludes any of the parties from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND ANY LENDER BECOMING A PARTY HERETO (BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE OF THE DEBT) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOANS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. Each party hereby (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the other would not, in the event of a Proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this paragraph.

(d) Each Party (other than the Borrower) to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.3 (Notices).

Section 8.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts) (including by facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original, and all of which together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by e-mail (PDF) or facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any signature (including, without limitation, any facsimile or electronic transmission, including .pdf file, .jpeg file or electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, including Orbit, Adobe Sign, DocuSign, or any other similar platform identified by the Borrwer and reasonably available at no undue burden or expense to the Collateral Trustee (including any symbol or process attached to, or associated with, a contract or other record and adopted by a Person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record)) hereto or to any other certificate, agreement or document related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any contract formation or record-keeping, in each case, through electronic means, including, without limitation, through e-mail or portable document format, shall have the same legal validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing also applies to any amendment, supplement, restatement, extension or renewal of this Agreement. Each party hereto represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that (i) it has the corporate or other applicable entity capacity and authority to execute this Agreement (and any other documents to be delivered in connection therewith) through electronic means, (ii) any electronic signatures of such party appearing on this Agreement (or such other documents) shall be treated in the same way as handwritten signatures for the purposes of validity, enforceability and admissibility of this Agreement (or any such other document) and (iii) the execution of this Agreement (or any such other document) by such party through such electronic means is not restricted by, and does not contravene, such party’s constitutive documents or applicable law. Any document electronically signed in a manner consistent with the foregoing provisions shall be valid so long as it is delivered by an Authorized Officer of the executing Person or by any person reasonably understood to be acting on behalf of such Person.

A Person that ceases to be a Lender shall continue to abide by the provisions of this Section 8.15 (Confidentiality).

Section 8.16 Register. (a) The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Loan Agent will serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 8.16 (Register), to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it shall record the names and addresses of each Lender, the Loans (and transfers thereof) made by each such persons and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Register under this Agreement is the “Loan Register” referred to in the Indenture and Security Agreement. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made by such Lender shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Loan Agent with respect to ownership of such Loan as provided in this Section 8.16 (Register) and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Loan shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Loan shall be recorded by the Loan Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Loan Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 8.4(b) (Benefit of Agreement). Each Lender shall promptly provide the Loan Agent any information reasonably requested by it for purposes of maintaining the Register. Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment Agreement to the Loan Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender its Lender Notes, if any, and thereupon one or more new Lender Notes (or Confirmation of Registration) in the same aggregate principal amount shall, if requested by the assigning or transferor Lender and/or new Lender, be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender, as applicable.

(b) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (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 any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury regulations. 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, no Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Section 8.18 Marshalling; Recapture. None of the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Loans. To the extent any Lender receives any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to the Borrower or its estate, trustee, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or Federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by the amount so repaid shall be reinstated by the amount so repaid and shall be included within the liabilities of the Borrower to such Lender as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.

Section 8.19 Lender Representations, etc.; Non-Recourse Obligations. (a) By executing this Agreement, whether on the date hereof or pursuant to an assignment permitted hereunder, each Lender represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(A) on each day from the date on which such Lender (or subsequent transferee) acquires its interest in the Loans through and including the date on which such Lender disposes of its interest in such Loans, either (x) it is neither a Benefit Plan Investor nor a governmental, church, non-U.S. or other plan which is subject to any federal, state, local or non-U.S. law that is substantially similar to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) or (y) its acquisition, holding and disposition of such Loans will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, in the case of a governmental, church, non-U.S. or other plan, a non-exempt violation of any Similar Law). Any purported transfer of a Loan, or any interest therein to a purchaser or transferee that does not comply with the requirements specified in the applicable documents will be of no force and effect and shall be null and void ab initio;

(B) if the Lender or any assignee of any Loan or beneficial interest therein is a Benefit Plan Investor, it will be deemed to represent and warrant that (i) none of the Borrower, the Initial Purchaser, the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Manager or any of their affiliates, has provided or will provide any investment advice within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA to the Benefit Plan Investor, or to any fiduciary or other person investing the assets of the Benefit Plan Investor (“Fiduciary”) in connection with its acquisition and holding of its interest in the Loans, and (ii) the Fiduciary is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating its extending the Loans;

(iv) the Lender agrees that if it no longer qualifies as both (x) a Qualified Institutional Buyer and (y) a Qualified Purchaser, it shall notify the Borrower thereof immediately in writing and, from such time, no further Loans shall be made to the Borrower by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement;

(v) each Lender agrees to treat, and shall treat, the Secured Debt, to the extent outstanding for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as debt and the Preferred Shares as equity, in each case, for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes and will take no action inconsistent with such treatment unless required by law;

(vi) each Lender will timely furnish the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee or their respective agents with any tax forms or certifications (including, without limitation, an IRS Form W-9 in the case of a Person that is a United States Tax Person or an applicable IRS Form W-8 (together with all applicable attachments) in the case of a Person that is not a United States Tax Person, or any successors to such IRS forms), that the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee or their respective agents reasonably request in order to (A) make payments to the beneficial owner without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding, (B) qualify for a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which they receive payments, and (C) satisfy reporting and other obligations under the Code, Treasury regulations, or any other applicable law or regulation, and will update or replace such tax forms or certifications in accordance with their terms or subsequent amendments. Such Lender acknowledges that the failure to provide, update or replace any such tax forms or certifications may result in the imposition of withholding or back-up withholding on payments to the Lender, or to the Borrower. Amounts withheld by the Borrower or its agents that are, in its sole judgment, required to be withheld pursuant to applicable tax laws will be treated as having been paid to such Lender by the Borrower;

(viii) each Lender agrees that no Secured Debt may be transferred by a Person from which the Borrower is disregarded as separate for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless a written opinion or advice from Paul Hastings LLP or Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP or an opinion of other tax counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States experienced in such matters is delivered to the Collateral Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Manager, to the effect that any Secured Debt so transferred will be characterized as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes immediately following such transfer;

(ix) if it is not a United States Tax Person, it either: (i) is: (A) not a bank (or an entity affiliated with a bank) extending credit pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code); (B) not a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower (or its sole owner, as applicable)) within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) of the Code; and (C) not a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code that is related to the Borrower (or its sole owner, as applicable)) within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; has provided an IRS Form W-8ECI representing that all payments received or to be received by it from the Borrower are effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business within the United States and includible in its gross income; or has provided an IRS Form W-8BEN-E representing that it is eligible for benefits under an income tax treaty with the United States that eliminates U.S. federal income taxation of U.S. source interest not attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States;

(x) each Lender agrees to provide the Borrower and the Collateral Trustee with certifications necessary to establish that it is not subject to withholding tax under FATCA, and to correct and update such information as necessary; and

(xi) each Lender represents that, if it is not a United States Tax Person, it is not, and will not be, a member of an “expanded group” within the meaning of the Section 385 Rules) that includes a domestic corporation (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) if (i) such domestic corporation, directly or indirectly (through one or more entities that are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as partnerships, disregarded entities, or grantor trusts), owns Preferred Shares and (ii) (A) the Borrower is a “controlled partnership” (within the meaning of the Section 385 Rules) with respect to such expanded group or (B) the Borrower is an entity disregarded as separate from either such domestic corporation or an entity that is treated as a “controlled partnership” (within the meaning of the Section 385 Rules) with respect to such expanded group; provided that such beneficial owner may acquire Secured Debt in violation of this restriction if it provides the Borrower with an opinion of nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Manager, to the effect that the acquisition or transfer of Secured Debt will not cause such Secured Debt to be recharacterized as equity under the Section 385 Rules.

Each Lender understands that the Borrower, the Initial Purchaser, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Manager and their respective counsel will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations, and it hereby consents to such reliance. As of the Loan Date, the originating Lender represents that it is a national banking association, chartered and regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and that it is in the business of, among other things, extending credit in the form of commercial loans. In this regard, each Lender represents that it is extending credit under the Agreement as part of its commercial lending business and that it has performed what it views as the required credit underwriting in respect of extending credit under the Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges that it has been given access to such information as was necessary for it to conduct such credit underwriting. Each Lender further acknowledges, to its reasonable knowledge, that there has not been a distribution of Borrower’s credit obligations under the Agreement and that there is no current market for the purchase or sale of the Borrower’s obligations to such Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has no expectation that its extension of credit under the Agreement would be treated as the purchase of a “security” under the U.S. securities laws and that it is not extending credit in reliance on, or expectation of, any protection that may be provided by such securities laws.

(b) The Loan Agent, the Collateral Trustee and each Lender covenants and agrees that the obligations of the Borrower under the Loans and this Agreement are limited recourse obligations of the Borrower, payable solely from the Assets in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, and, following repayment and realization of the Assets, any claims of the Loan Agent or the Lenders and obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive, in accordance with Section 2.8(i) of the Indenture and Security

Agreement. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of the Loans against any member, shareholder, owner, employee, officer, director, manager, advisor, agent or incorporator or organizer of the Borrower or Collateral Manager or their respective successors or assigns for any amounts payable under the Loans, this Agreement or the Indenture and Security Agreement. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.19(b) shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Assets for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Assets or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Loans until the Assets has been realized, whereupon any outstanding indebtedness or obligation shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. The provisions of this Section 8.19(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.21 No Petition. (a) The Collateral Trustee, Loan Agent and each Lender or holder of an interest herein hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Borrower until one (1) year (or if longer, the then applicable preference period) and one day after all Debt has been paid in full, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other similar proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

(b) This Section 8.21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.

Section 8.23 Acknowledgment. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that none of the parties hereto has any fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary duty to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the relationship between the Collateral Trustee, the Lenders and the Loan Agent on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith is solely that of debtor and creditor.

Section 8.24 Limitation on Suits. No Lender shall have any right to institute any Proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Agreement or the Indenture and Security Agreement except as provided in Section 5.4 of the Indenture and Security Agreement.

Section 8.25 Unconditional Rights of Lenders to Receive Principal and Interest.

Section 8.26 Termination of Agreement. Without prejudice to any provision of the Indenture and Security Agreement, this Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder, other than those expressly specified as surviving the termination of the Agreement and the repayment of the Loans and those set forth in Section 4.1 of the Indenture and Security Agreement with respect to the Lenders, the Loans or the Loan Agent, shall terminate at such time that all of the Loans are repaid in full in accordance with the terms herein.

Section 8.27 Lender Information; Voting. (a) Notice to Lenders shall be provided as set forth in Section 14.4 of the Indenture and Security Agreement.

(b) Promptly after the Loan Agent is notified in writing or a Trust Officer of the Loan Agent becomes aware that the holders of any of the Class A-1L Loans are entitled to vote with respect to any matter, the Loan Agent shall give written notice to the Lenders stating: (a) the issue to be voted upon, (b) the date and time by which holders of such Class A-1L Loans must cast their votes, and (c) the date and time by which Class A-1L Loans may instruct the Loan Agent how to vote, which date and time shall be not later than 24 hours before the Lenders must vote.
