  2(b) to obtain the prior consent of (i) GSCP to the purchase by the Issuer of any Loan hereunder or (ii) GSI to the purchase by GSI of a Bond under the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Collateral Manager may on any Business Day during the Accumulation Period enter into a commitment on behalf and for account of the Issuer (in the case of a Loan) or request that GSI enter into such a commitment (in the case of a Bond) to purchase a Collateral Debt Obligation to be included in the Warehouse Portfolio for settlement during the Accumulation Period.
   
(b) At any time prior to entering into any commitment on behalf and for account of the Issuer to purchase a Loan or requesting GSI to enter into such a commitment to purchase a Bond pursuant to Section 2(a), the Collateral Manager shall send a written or electronic notice to Goldman Sachs (i) requesting Goldman Sachs’s consent to such purchase and (ii) specifying (x) a description of the Collateral Debt Obligation to be purchased, (y) the maximum price that the Collateral Manager may bid, on behalf of the Issuer, for such Collateral Debt Obligation and (z) the expected settlement date for such purchase (which settlement date shall not be less than three Business Days after the trade date for such purchase and in any event shall be subject to satisfaction of Goldman Sachs’s internal compliance policies and procedures). Goldman Sachs shall use its reasonable efforts to respond to such request within two Business Days after receipt of such request. The Collateral Manager shall not enter into a commitment on behalf and for account of the Issuer to purchase a Loan hereunder, nor shall GSI be obligated to purchase any Bond at the request of the Collateral Manager, unless the Collateral Manager has received Goldman Sachs’s prior written or electronic consent to such purchase; provided that Goldman Sachs (1) may attach any conditions to such consent as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, delivery to it of (a) the draft trade confirmation for such purchase, (b) the latest draft credit agreement or indenture (or their equivalent) received by the Collateral Manager that is applicable to such Collateral Debt Obligation and (c) such other documentation as it may reasonably request as has been received by the Collateral Manager, and (2) may by written or electronic notice to the Collateral Manager withdraw such consent at any time prior to the Collateral Manager entering into the commitment to purchase such Collateral Debt Obligation. The Collateral Manager shall, no later than the trade date for the purchase of any Loan to be purchased by the Issuer hereunder, provide Goldman Sachs with a written confirmation of such trade.
   
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no purchase of a Loan shall occur, and GSCP shall not be required to fund such purchase, unless such Collateral Debt Obligation (and information related thereto) is set forth in a schedule (a Loan Transaction Schedule), substantially in the form of Annex D

14






  attached hereto, executed by the Issuer and executed by GSCP. Each Loan Transaction Schedule shall be prepared by Collateral Manager or by GSCP based on information provided by Collateral Manager and shall be deemed to incorporate in its entirety the applicable terms and conditions of this Warehouse Agreement and the Participation Agreement and all applicable representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities made hereunder or thereunder shall be deemed to have been made in respect of the Collateral Debt Obligation that is the subject of the applicable Loan Transaction Schedule as of the applicable settlement date.
   
(c) The Collateral Manager will not cause the Issuer to purchase or request GSI to purchase any Collateral Debt Obligation if any of the following conditions is satisfied (after giving effect to any such acquisition):
   
  (1) the Target Amount is less than the Warehouse Usage;
     
  (2) Goldman Sachs has not given its consent to such purchase pursuant to Section 2(b); or
     
  (3) the Collateral Manager has knowledge that such Collateral Debt Obligation would be an Ineligible Security as of the date of such acquisition.
     
(d) The Issuer hereby authorizes the Collateral Manager to consummate, on behalf of the Issuer as the Issuer’s agent, the purchase by the Issuer of any Loan to be included in the Warehouse Portfolio and to sign, execute, certify, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file, receive and record any and all documents that the Collateral Manager reasonably deems appropriate or necessary in connection with such purchase or the grant by the Issuer of a security interest in such Loan to GSCP pursuant to the Participation Agreement (including the execution and delivery of any bond power required thereunder). The Collateral Manager shall cause the Issuer to give each instruction required to be given by the Issuer in Section 3(a) of the Participation Agreement.
   
(e) By reason of the acquisition by GSCP pursuant to the Participation Agreement of a Participation Interest in each Loan purchased by the Issuer hereunder, GSCP will provide the Collateral Manager or the obligor on any Loan with any form or document that may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Manager in order to allow the obligor on such Loan to make a payment thereunder without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax or with such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate.
   
(f) The Collateral Manager hereby agrees with Goldman Sachs and GSCC that:
   

15






  (i) the Collateral Manager will not direct the Issuer or request GSI to purchase a Collateral Debt Obligation if at the time of such direction, the Collateral Manager knows (or, to the extent that it was grossly negligent in assessing or accumulating, or willfully disregarded, relevant information, should have known) that such Collateral Debt Obligation would be an Ineligible Security on the earlier of the date the Issuer or GSI, as applicable, acquires such Collateral Debt Obligation or the date the Issuer or GSI, as applicable, commits to acquire it; except that the Collateral Manager may so direct the Issuer or so request GSI with the express written consent of Goldman Sachs; provided that, the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of tax counsel in determining that the acquisition (including the manner of acquisition), ownership, enforcement and disposition of such Collateral Debt Obligation by GSI (in the case of Bonds) or the Issuer (in the case of Loans) would not cause the Issuer to be engaged in a trade or business within the United States for United States Federal income tax purposes; and
     
  (ii) the Collateral Manager agrees promptly to notify Goldman Sachs and GSCC if at any time during the Carry Period it obtains actual knowledge that any Collateral Debt Obligation then constituting part of the Warehouse Portfolio has become an Ineligible Security.
     
(g) Goldman Sachs shall be entitled to all distributions of principal, interest and/or other amounts received, including in respect of a sale or other disposition (whether by Goldman Sachs or the Issuer) or otherwise accrued but unpaid in respect of any Collateral Debt Obligation at any time constituting part of the Warehouse Portfolio during the Carry Period therefor (including, without limitation, any Purchased Accrued Interest, any up front fees paid or owing to the Issuer (in respect of Loans) or GSI (in respect of Bonds) and any proceeds in respect of a sale pursuant to Section 4(c)).
   
(h) None of Goldman Sachs, GSCC or their respective Affiliates shall have any obligation to ascertain whether the acquisition hereunder of any Collateral Debt Obligation complies with any Issuer Documentation.
   
(i) (i) With respect to Sections 3, 6 and 14 of the Participation Agreement, the Collateral Manager shall act on behalf of the Issuer in respect of the Issuer’s obligations thereunder or, with respect to communications received from the Agent under a Loan, shall (i) notify such Agent of GSCP’s Participation Interest in such Loan, (ii) use reasonable efforts to cause such Agent to agree to deliver to GSCP all notices, reports, certifications or other information or communications to which the Issuer
   

16






  would otherwise be entitled as owner of such Loan (and, in the absence of such agreement, but subject to any applicable confidentiality provisions, shall cause to be delivered to GSCP (provided that any such confidentiality provisions shall be notified to GSCP in advance of delivery and GSCP shall be entitled to refuse delivery)) all notices, reports, certifications or other information or communications that the Issuer or Collateral Manager receives), and (iii) use reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary consents of the applicable issuer or Agent to the granting of the Participation Interest to GSCP.
   
  (ii) With respect to Sections 1(a), 4 and 5 of the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Collateral Manager shall act on behalf of the Issuer in respect of the Issuer’s obligations thereunder. The Issuer hereby authorizes the Collateral Manager to take, on behalf of the Issuer as the Issuer’s agent, any action required under the Forward Purchase Agreement necessary or desirable to effect the warehousing of Bonds by GSI under the Forward Purchase Agreement and to sign, execute, certify, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file, receive and record any and all documents that the Collateral Manager reasonably deems appropriate or necessary in connection therewith.
   
(j) GSCP shall comply with its obligations under the Participation Agreement in a timely manner and shall exercise its rights to consent to or waive or otherwise agree to any “Specified Matter” (as such term is defined in the Participation Agreement) in a commercially reasonable manner. GSI shall comply with its obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreement in a timely manner.
   
(k) All calculations and determinations made by Goldman Sachs hereunder, including, without limitation, as to Realized Gain, Realized Loss, Unrealized Loss, Unrealized Gain, Net Loss Amount, Excess Spread and all other payment obligations of Goldman Sachs hereunder, shall be provided, accompanied by information reasonably detailing the calculation of such amounts, to the Collateral Manager and GSCC in writing by an authorized employee of Goldman Sachs and shall be presumptively correct unless the Collateral Manager or GSCC provide proof to the contrary within a reasonable time of Goldman Sachs providing such calculation or determination.
   
(l) The Collateral Manager shall provide GSCC and Goldman Sachs with such information and documents as GSCC or Goldman Sachs shall reasonably request, as are reasonably available without undue expense to the Collateral Manager as are customarily provided by GSC to the equity holders in the other CDO funds in respect of which it acts as collateral

17






  manager, regarding the performance by the Collateral Manager under this Agreement.
   
(m) On each Payment Date, Goldman Sachs shall pay to GSCC an amount equal to the Excess Spread accrued as of such Payment Date.
   
(n) (i) In connection with the performance of its obligations under Sections 3(b) and 4(a)(iii) and the last sentence of Section 5, GSCC shall from time to time post cash collateral to Goldman Sachs, in an aggregate amount equal to 20% of the sum of the Warehouse Usage and the Net Realized Loss, in each case, as of the date such collateral is posted. Such collateral shall be posted on or before any increase in the Warehouse Usage in connection with the purchase of each Collateral Debt Obligation hereunder or, in the case such requirement is triggered by increase in Net Realized Loss, within 1 Business Day of such increase. Goldman Sachs shall, no later than three Business Days after the date of a reduction in Warehouse Usage or in Net Realized Loss, as applicable, return to GSCC such collateral amount, if any, that is in excess of the amount required to be posted by GSCC pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2(n)(i).
   
  (ii) In addition to the collateral required to be posted pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2(n), GSCC, may in its sole discretion and in such amounts as it may determine, post additional cash collateral to Goldman Sachs.
   
  (iii) On the earlier to occur of the Closing Date and the Portfolio Liquidation Date, after giving effect to any payments required to be made to Goldman Sachs under Section 3(b), 4(a)(iii) and the last sentence of Section 5, as applicable, Goldman Sachs shall pay to GSCC 100% of all the remaining collateral then held by Goldman Sachs pursuant to Sections 2(n)(i) and 2(n)(ii).
   
  (iv) GSCC understands and agrees that the collateral arrangements set forth in this Section 2(n) do not create a fiduciary relationship between Goldman Sachs and GSCC.

19






 

  (i) upon consummation of the sale or other liquidation of such Collateral Debt Obligation under Section 4(c), each of GSC and the Issuer shall cease to have any rights to request Goldman Sachs to finance or warehouse such Collateral Debt Obligation under this Agreement, the Participation Agreement or the Forward Purchase Agreement, as applicable; and
     
  (ii) the Controlling Party may sell (or direct the sale of) each such Collateral Debt Obligation in accordance with Section 4(c) and, in the case of an Ineligible Security or a Defaulted Security, shall sell (or, in the case of a Bond, direction to GSI to sell) each such Collateral Debt Obligation on or prior to the occurrence (if any) of the Closing Date.

The Collateral Manager, Goldman Sachs, GSCC and their respective Affiliates shall have the right to submit bids and Dealers whom they notify shall also have such right.
     
  (ii) If Goldman Sachs is the Controlling Party, and it is unable to obtain any cash bids pursuant to Section 4(c)(i), it shall be entitled (A) in the case of Loans, to sell a Sale Security to itself (following the termination by Goldman Sachs of its Participation Interest in such Collateral Debt Obligation) and (B) in the case of Bonds, to retain a Sale Security for itself and, in each case, such sale or retention shall constitute a “sale” at the Market Value (determined under clause (b)(ii) of the definition of “Market Value”) for the purposes of this Agreement and shall be effected by Goldman Sachs notifying GSC or GSCC, as the case may be, that Goldman Sachs is retaining such Collateral Debt Obligation for its own account without making any payment therefor and specifying the Market Value therefor.
     
  (iii) GSI agrees that it shall, without prejudice to GSCC’s payment obligations under Section 4(a)(iii), deliver, at the direction of the

The obligations of the parties under this paragraph shall survive the Termination Date; provided that no party shall be liable hereunder with respect to a claim for a Repayment that is first made by an Underlying Obligor or other person more than two years after the Termination Date.
   
(g) If, during the Carry Period for any Loan, GSCP assigns, sells or pledges its Participation Interest therein pursuant to the Participation Agreement, for the purposes of all calculations and determination made hereunder, including, without limitation, as to Realized Gain, Realized Loss, Unrealized Loss, Unrealized Gain, Net Loss Amount, Excess Spread and all other payment obligations of GSCP hereunder, GSCP shall be treated as continuing to own such Participation Interest in such Loan, without regard to such assignment, sale or pledge.

25

14. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts by facsimile or other written form of communication, each of which shall be deemed to be an original as against each party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Provisions Separable

15. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any party or any circumstance, is held to be unenforceable,

28






invalid or illegal (in whole or in part) for any reason (in any relevant jurisdiction), the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, modified by the deletion of the unenforceable, invalid or illegal portion (in any relevant jurisdiction), will continue in full force and effect, and such unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality will not otherwise affect the enforceability, validity or legality of the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement will not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavour in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited or unenforceable provision with a valid provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited or unenforceable provision.

Titles Not to Affect Interpretation

16. The titles of the sections and paragraphs contained in this Agreement are for convenience only, and they neither form part of this Agreement nor are they to be used in the construction or interpretation hereof.

Limited Recourse; Non-Petition

17. Each party to this Agreement hereby acknowledges and agrees that all obligations of the Issuer arising out of or in connection herewith or in connection with the Participation Agreement or the Forward Purchase Agreement shall constitute limited recourse obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from the Issuer’s assets (excluding the U.S.$250 from the proceeds of the issue and allotment of the Issuer’s shares and also excluding the U.S.$250 transaction fee payable to the Issuer for entering into the Transaction for the issue of the Offered Securities) (the Assets). Upon realization of the Issuer’s Assets and their reduction to zero, all unpaid or unsatisfied claims against the Issuer arising out of or in connection herewith or in connection with the Participation Agreement or the Forward Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No party shall have any claim for any shortfall upon realization of the Issuer’s Assets and their reduction to zero. No party hereto shall take any action against any director, officer, employee, shareholder or administrator of the Issuer in relation to the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or under the Participation Agreement or the Forward Purchase Agreement. Furthermore, each of Goldman Sachs, GSC and GSCC agrees not to petition or join in any petition for the winding up of the Issuer (or any analogous procedure having the effect of a winding up or liquidation) in any jurisdiction for the then applicable preference period in the relevant jurisdiction plus one day.

29






The Collateral Manager

18.(a)  The Issuer hereby appoints the Collateral Manager as its investment adviser and manager with respect to the Warehouse Portfolio and authorizes the Collateral Manager to perform such services and take such actions on its behalf as are contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Collateral Manager accepts such appointment and shall provide the Issuer with the following services:
   
(b)  The Collateral Manager agrees to supervise and direct the investment, disposition and reinvestment of the Collateral Debt Obligations and shall perform on behalf of the Issuer the duties set forth herein and the duties that have been specifically delegated to the Collateral Manager (and the Collateral Manager shall have no obligation to perform any other duties other than as specified herein) and, to the extent necessary or appropriate to perform such duties, the Collateral Manager shall have and is hereby granted full power and authority to negotiate, execute and deliver all necessary and appropriate documents and instruments on behalf of the Issuer with respect thereto as its attorney-in-fact. The Collateral Manager shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, perform its obligations hereunder with reasonable care and in good faith, using commercially reasonable judgment in rendering its services as Collateral Manager, using a degree of skill and attention no less than that which the Collateral Manager (i) exercises with respect to the management of comparable assets that it manages for itself and its Affiliates and (ii) exercises with respect to the management of comparable assets that it manages for others, and in a manner reasonably consistent with accepted asset management practices and procedures known by the Collateral Manager to be followed by reasonable and prudent institutional managers of national standing of assets of the nature and character of the Collateral Debt Obligations. To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Collateral Manager may follow its customary standards, policies and procedures in performing its duties hereunder.
   
(c)  The Collateral Manager, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, may, at any time, direct the Issuer to dispose of a Collateral Debt Obligation or other securities received in respect thereof in the open market or otherwise, and may, in each case subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, as agent of the Issuer, take or, if applicable, direct the Issuer to take the following actions with respect to a Collateral Debt Obligation:

  (A) retain such Collateral Debt Obligation; or

30






  (B) sell or otherwise dispose of such Collateral Debt Obligation in the open market or otherwise; or
     
  (C) if applicable, tender such Collateral Debt Obligation pursuant to an offer (made by the issuer thereof or by any other person) to all holders of such Collateral Debt Obligation (an Offer); or
     
  (D) if applicable, negotiate with the issuer of any Collateral Debt Obligation as to proposed waivers or modifications of the Underlying Instruments governing such Collateral Debt Obligation; or
     
  (E) if applicable, consent to any proposed amendment, modification or waiver of the Underlying Instruments governing such Collateral Debt Obligations pursuant to an Offer; or
     
  (F) retain or dispose of any securities or other property received pursuant to an Offer; or
     
  (G) waive any default with respect to any Defaulted Security; or
     
  (H) vote to accelerate (or rescind the acceleration of) the maturity of any Defaulted Security;
     
  (I) take appropriate action with respect to any Collateral Debt Obligation that constitutes a Defaulted Security or Ineligible Security; or
     
  (J) exercise any other rights or remedies with respect to such Collateral Debt Obligation as provided in the related Underlying Instruments.
     
(d) The Collateral Manager assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder made applicable to the Collateral Manager pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in good faith and, subject to the standard of conduct described in the next succeeding sentence, shall not be liable for any action or omission of any other party hereto or of any other Person, including (without limitation) in their following or declining to follow any advice, recommendation or direction of the Collateral Manager. Neither the Collateral Manager nor its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, stockholders, partners, agents, members or employees shall be liable to the Issuer, Goldman Sachs or GSCC or their respective affiliates or any other Person for any losses, claims, damages, judgments, assessments, costs or other liabilities (collectively, Liabilities) incurred by them that arise out of or in

31






  connection with the performance by the Collateral Manager of its duties under this Agreement or any decrease in the value of the Collateral Debt Obligations, except to the extent such Liabilities are caused by acts or omissions constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance, or reckless disregard, of the obligations of the Collateral Manager hereunder applicable to it.
   
(e) The Collateral Manager shall not be obligated to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action on behalf of the Issuer that is not incidental to its responsibilities under this Agreement or that, in its sole opinion, may involve it in any expense or liability. In the exercise of its discretion, however, the Collateral Manager may undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to the enforcement or protection of the rights and duties of the other parties to this Agreement or the interest of the Issuer hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action, and any liability resulting therefrom, shall be borne by the Issuer, and the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to receive reimbursement thereof from the Issuer.

Obligations of GSCP and GSI

19. All transactions contemplated hereunder with respect to Collateral Debt Obligations that are Loans, any Participation Interest granted in respect of such Loans, and the Participation Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein shall be between the Issuer and GSCP (and not GSI). All transactions contemplated hereunder with respect to Collateral Debt Obligations that are Bonds and the Forward Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein shall be between the Issuer and GSI (and not GSCP). The obligations of Goldman Sachs hereunder relating to Loan-related transactions shall be several obligations of GSCP alone; the obligations of Goldman Sachs hereunder relating to Bond-related transactions shall be several obligations of GSI alone; and the term “Goldman Sachs” as used in this Agreement shall be construed accordingly. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any of Goldman Sachs’s obligations hereunder may, in GSCP’s or GSI’s sole discretion, be performed by any Affiliate of Goldman Sachs, which performance by such Affiliate shall not release either of GSI or GSCP from responsibility for such Affiliate’s actions or relieve either of GSI or GSCP from their duties and responsibilities hereunder.

ANNEX A – ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

Terms used in this Annex A but not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the respective meanings given to such terms in Annex B hereto.

Unless the following criteria are amended or Goldman Sachs, the Collateral Manager and GSCC otherwise agree by mutual consent in writing, a Collateral Debt Obligation will be eligible for purchase by the Issuer hereunder or GSI under the Forward Purchase Agreement if, at the time it is purchased or, if earlier, the time the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) commits or the Collateral Manager requests GSI to commit to purchase such Collateral Debt Obligation, the following criteria (the Eligibility Criteria) are satisfied:

(1) such obligation or security is a Bond (in the case of GSI) or Loan (in the case of the Issuer); provided that the aggregate par amount of Bonds contained in the Warehouse Portfolio shall not exceed 15% of the Target Amount;
   
(2) such obligation or security is not (a) a Defaulted Security or (b) a security whose repayment is subject to material non-credit related risk (for example, catastrophe bonds), as determined in the sole judgment of the Collateral Manager;
   
(3) such obligation or security matures no later than December 31, 2017;
   
(4) the aggregate par amount of Collateral Debt Obligations with an S&P rating of “CCC+” or lower or a Moody’s rating of “Caa1” or lower contained in the Warehouse Portfolio shall not exceed 15% of the Target Amount;
   
(5) if such obligation or security is a Loan, it provides for payments of interest at least quarterly;
   
(6) if the Collateral Debt Obligation to be purchased has an attached Equity Security that will be received in connection with such investment, the aggregate principal balance of all such Collateral Debt Obligations after giving effect to such investment is not greater than U.S.$10,000,000;
   
(7) with respect to a Collateral Debt Obligation that is a Loan, such obligation or security is a floating rate security and the calculation of the relevant floating rate of interest is determined by reference to the London interbank offered rate; provided that Loans in an aggregate par amount of up to 15% of the Target Amount may be floating rate securities with respect to which the calculation of the relevant floating rate of interest is determined by reference to the prime rate;

38






(8) such obligation or security, other than a Bridge Security, does not by its own terms provide for an increase or decrease, after the date of purchase thereof, in the per annum interest rate on such security solely as a function of the passage of time;
   
(9) such obligation or security is not a Synthetic Security or a Structured Finance Security;
   
(10) after giving effect to such investment, the aggregate principal balance of the Collateral Debt Obligations issued by issuers that fall within the same S&P Industry Classification Group does not exceed 15% of the then- applicable Target Amount;
   
(11) after giving effect to such investment, the aggregate principal balance of the Collateral Debt Obligations issued by issuers that fall within the same Moody's Industry Classification Group does not exceed 15% of the then- applicable Target Amount;
   
(12) after giving effect to such investment, the aggregate principal balance of all Collateral Debt Obligations then contained in the Warehouse Portfolio issued by any single issuer and its Affiliates (except that, for purposes of this clause (12), affiliation will not result from common ownership by a common financial sponsor) does not exceed 2.5% of the Target Amount; provided that any three single issuers or obligors (together with their respective Affiliates) may each represent up to 3.0% of the Target Amount;
   
(13) such obligation or security is issued by, or constitutes an obligation of, an issuer or obligor organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States (or any state thereof);
   
(14) after giving effect to such investment, the aggregate Commitment Amount of all Revolving Loans and Delayed Drawdown Securities constituting part of the Warehouse Portfolio does not exceed 7.5% of the then- applicable Target Amount;
   
(15) such obligation or security is (a)(i) in registered form for U.S. Federal income tax purposes or (ii) in the case of a non-U.S. obligor, such obligation or security is held through a financial institution within the meaning of Treasury regulation section 1.165-12(c)(3) and (b) it (and, if it is an interest in a trust treated as a grantor trust for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, each of the obligations or securities held by such trust) was issued after July 18, 1984;

39






(16) the holder will receive payments due under the terms of such obligation or security and proceeds from disposing of such obligation or security free and clear of withholding tax, other than withholding tax as to which the obligor or issuer must make additional payments so that the net amount received by the Issuer after satisfaction of such tax is the amount due to the Issuer before the imposition of any withholding tax; and
   
(17) such obligation or security is purchased at a price not less than 90% of its par amount.

For the purposes of determining whether the Eligibility Criteria are satisfied with respect to the purchase of any Collateral Debt Obligation, the “aggregate principal balance” of any Collateral Debt Obligation that is a Revolving Loan or Delayed Drawdown Security shall be its Commitment Amount.

40






ANNEX B – CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

  (vi) any obligation or security that is an Equity Security, other than (x) one that is received with respect to any Collateral Debt Obligation or purchased as part of a “unit” with any Collateral Debt Obligation (an Equity Kicker) or (y) any security received in exchange for a Defaulted Security upon foreclosure, exercise of remedies or in a distressed exchange, which security does not entitle the holder thereof to receive periodic payments of interest and one or more installments of principal (an Equity Workout Security)); provided that if the Equity Kicker or Equity Workout Security is a United States real property interest within the meaning of section 897 of the Code, it shall be promptly sold or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer; or

43






ANNEX C – CERTAIN ADDITIONAL CRITERIA

Terms used in this Annex C but not otherwise defined in this Annex C or in this Agreement have the respective meanings given to such terms in Annex B hereto.

The following conditions are designed to minimize the risk that the acquisition (including the manner of acquisition) or ownership of a Collateral Debt Obligation could cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a U.S. trade or business for U.S. federal income tax purposes. GSC shall be deemed to have observed the restrictions in Section 2(f) as to the manner of acquisition if (after giving effect to clauses (o) and (p), below) the Collateral Manager does not take on behalf of the Issuer or cause the Issuer to take any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (n) below (except as specifically provided therein):

(a) commit to purchase or acquire a Collateral Debt Obligation or other asset (each, an Applicable Asset and, together, the Applicable Assets) to the Warehouse Portfolio (A) until after the terms of such Applicable Asset are fully negotiated by a Person that is not Affiliated with or acting on behalf of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager (not including the obligor of such Applicable Asset) and the final legal documentation with respect thereto has been executed and (B) until after the Person from whom the Issuer will purchase such Applicable Asset is legally committed to fund or purchase such Applicable Asset on such terms, provided, that it may commit to purchase an Applicable Asset notwithstanding the foregoing requirements if such Applicable Asset is a When-Issued Loan. A When- Issued Loan shall mean an Applicable Asset that the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) commits to purchase from a Person other than the obligor in respect of such Applicable Asset pursuant to a forward purchase agreement at a fixed price specified therein, provided, that (1) the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate of the Collateral Manager) makes no commitment to said obligor, (2) the seller of the Applicable Asset is not Affiliated with the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, (3) such purchase occurs no earlier than two (2) days after the later of execution of final legal documentation or the initial funding of such Applicable Asset, (4) the Issuer does not execute any credit agreement or other similar agreement with said obligor in connection with such Applicable Asset prior to the transfer of such Applicable Asset pursuant to such forward purchase agreement or hold itself out as an originator of the loan in respect thereof or participant in the original loan syndicate in respect thereof, (5) the seller of the Applicable Asset is not acting as the Issuer’s agent in connection with such Applicable Asset, and the Collateral Manager understands that such seller will not disclose to said obligor the Issuer’s commitment, in each case, prior to execution of final legal documentation, (6) none of the Issuer, Collateral Manager, any Person Affiliated with or acting on behalf of the Issuer or the Collateral

44






  Manager (other than the obligor of such Applicable Asset), participates in, or has any direct or indirect involvement in, structuring or negotiating the terms of such Applicable Asset, (7) the Issuer’s obligation to purchase such Applicable Asset is subject to the condition that no material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of said obligor or the relevant market on or before the relevant purchase date, and (8) the Issuer will not hold a loan, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of, or as nominee for, any bank, and the Issuer will not use funds (other than funds representing proceeds of the sale of Participation Interests to Goldman Sachs) borrowed from a bank on a limited recourse or other basis, the effect of which is to shift the economic benefits or burdens of ownership of an interest in a loan to such bank, to acquire an interest in a loan;
   
(b) cause any Applicable Asset to be added to the Warehouse Portfolio if any of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, any Person Affiliated with or acting on behalf of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, participated in structuring, or was involved directly or indirectly in negotiating (except as the obligor of such Applicable Asset) the terms of, such Applicable Asset;
   
(c) (i) have any discussions with any obligor on an Applicable Asset, except for due diligence purposes after all the material terms and conditions of such Applicable Asset are fixed and binding or (ii) structure or influence the terms of any Applicable Asset, provided, that the Collateral Manager may consent to any amendments, supplements or other modifications of the terms of any Applicable Asset requiring consent after the date on which any such Applicable Asset is acquired by the Issuer if (x) such amendment, supplement or modification is not a Significant Modification or (y) it has received advice of counsel that its involvement in such amendment, supplement or modification will not cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States or (z) if the reason for the Significant Modification is a default or anticipated default of the obligor that was reasonably not expected when the loan was acquired by the Issuer. As used herein, Significant Modification means any amendment, supplement or other modification that involves (1) a change in the stated maturity or a change in the timing of any material payment of any Applicable Asset (including deferral of an interest payment), that would materially alter the weighted average life of the Applicable Asset, (2) any change involving a material new extension of credit, (3) except in the case of nonrecourse debt, a change in the obligor of any Applicable Asset, (4) a material change in the collateral or security for any Applicable Asset, including the addition or deletion of a co-obligor or guarantor, that results in a material change in payment expectations, (5) in the case of Applicable Assets that are nonrecourse debt instruments, a release, substitution, addition or other alteration of a substantial amount of collateral where such collateral is not fungible or otherwise of a type

45






  where the particular units pledged are unimportant; provided that the substitution of a similar commercially available credit enhancement contract is not a Significant Modification, or (6) a change in the recourse or nonrecourse nature of an Applicable Asset;
   
(d) purchase any Applicable Asset on terms such that the Issuer receives, directly or indirectly, the benefit of a fee for underwriting services, syndication services, placement services or other services connected with structuring the terms of, marketing or placement of the Applicable Asset (which shall not include any discount or fee for the use of or time value of money or commitment fees);
   
(e) purchase any Applicable Asset or other instrument that is an interest in any entity that is not treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes unless such interest is properly classified as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) may purchase interests in a grantor trust if (i) all of the assets of such trust are properly classified as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes or are cash or incidental Applicable Assets and (ii) either (x) all such debt assets of such trust satisfy eligibility criteria (15) in Annex A or (y) such interests are considered to be in registered form in accordance with Treasury regulation section 1.163-5T (or applicable successor provision);
   
(f) purchase any interest in one or more loans by banks or other financial institutions (Bank Loans), if the documents relating to such Bank Loan provide that only banks may hold an interest in such Bank Loan;
   
(g) purchase any interest in a Bank Loan whose documents would hold out the Issuer as an initial lender;
   
(h) purchase any Revolving Loan or Delayed Drawdown Security unless (i) one or more advances thereunder have already been made or (ii) the Revolving Loan or Delayed Drawdown Security, as the case may be, may not be transferred without the associated term loan, and the associated term loan may not be transferred without the associated Revolving Loan or Delayed Drawdown Security, absent consent of the obligor which consent has not been granted (whether formally or informally) as of the date of the purchase. All of the terms of any advance required to be made by the Issuer will be fixed as of the date of the Issuer’s purchase (or determinable under a formula that is fixed as of such date), and such Revolving Loan or Delayed Drawdown Security may not permit the Issuer to have any discretion as to whether to make advances thereunder. However, the fact that certain advances under such Revolving Loan or Delayed Drawdown Security may be made under optional bidding

46






  procedures will not disqualify a Revolving Loan or Delayed Drawdown Security from purchase by the Issuer so long as the Issuer does not exercise any such option;
   
(i) purchase any Applicable Asset that is a “United States real property interest” as defined in section 897 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder;

When these concurrent transactions occur, the objective of the Collateral Manager (and any of its Affiliates involved in such transactions) shall be to allocate executions among the accounts in an equitable manner.
   
(k) (i) act, or hold itself out, as a middleman, or as a retailer or wholesaler of any security; (ii) perform services, or hold itself out as willing to perform services, for any person; (iii) buy securities to subdivide them and sell the components or buy securities and sell them with different securities as a package or unit, except for occasional transactions in the event of changes in circumstances after the acquisition (however, in no case will it make a practice of subdividing and selling components of securities or hold itself out as doing so); (iv) make a market in any security, or hold itself out as a market-maker or as willing to buy or sell any security regardless of price; (v) charge or earn a commission on any purchase or sale of a security; or (vi) have or seek customers for its securities.

(l) hold itself out as being willing to enter into either side of, or to offer to enter into, assume, offset, assign or otherwise terminate positions (other than in respect of entering into any single side position for its own account) in (i) interest rate, currency, equity, or commodity swaps or caps or (ii) derivative financial instruments (including options, forward

47






  contracts, short positions, and similar instruments) in any commodity, currency, share of stock, partnership or trust, note, bond, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness, swap or cap;
   
(m) (i) register as or become subject to regulatory supervision or other legal requirements under the laws of any country or political subdivision thereof as a bank, insurance company or finance company; or (ii) be treated as a bank, insurance company or finance company for purposes of (a) any tax, securities law or other filing or submission made to any governmental authority, (b) any application made to a rating agency or (c) qualification for any exemption from tax, securities law or any other legal requirements; or
   
(n) (i) hold itself out to the public as a bank, insurance company or finance company; or (ii) hold itself out to the public, through advertising or otherwise, as originating loans, lending funds, or making a market in loans or other assets.
   
(o) Notwithstanding the foregoing, clauses (a) through (h) shall not apply if the Issuer obtains an opinion of nationally-recognized tax counsel having experience in such matters that the action specified in such clauses will not cause the Issuer to be engaged in a trade or business in the United States for United States federal income tax purposes.
   
(p) Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of clauses (a) and (b) above regarding transactions with Affiliates of the Collateral Manager, the Issuer may purchase (or commit to purchase) from, negotiate with and sell to, Affiliates of the Collateral Manager (other than the Collateral Manager or Persons acting on behalf of the Issuer) if those activities could otherwise be completed with persons who are not Affiliates of the Collateral Manager in accordance with this Annex C and if:
   
  (i) the portions of the loan that are purchased as a Collateral Debt Obligation, sold to Affiliates or retained by Affiliates do not exceed the total principal amount of the original loan sold substantially contemporaneously to one or more Persons who are not Affiliates of the Collateral Manager on terms and conditions substantially the same as those pursuant to which the Issuer is to purchase;
     
  (ii) the Issuer purchases no more than 33 percent of the total principal amount of such loan;
     
  (iii) such Affiliate is an Affiliate (A) which is a separate legal entity that is operated independently of the Collateral Manager from time
     

48






    to time and is not a disregarded entity of the Collateral Manager for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (B) whose personnel are not managed by and who do not report to the personnel of the Collateral Manager and (C) whose personnel are not compensated based upon the performance of the Collateral Manager;
