(b) The Borrower shall be entitled at its option, at any time, to reduce Advances Outstanding; provided that (i) the Borrower shall give one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice of such reduction in the form of Exhibit A-2 to the Loan Agent and each Lender, and (ii) any reduction of Advances Outstanding (other than with respect to repayments of Advances Outstanding made by the Borrower to reduce Advances Outstanding such that the Availability is greater than or equal to $0) shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000. In connection with any reduction of Advances Outstanding (x) in part, the Borrower shall wire to the Loan Agent, on behalf of each Lender, funds sufficient to repay such Advances Outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest (to be paid pro rata to each Lender) and any Break Costs, if applicable (to be paid to the applicable Lender) and (y) in whole, the Borrower shall wire to the Loan Agent, on behalf of each Lender, funds sufficient to repay such Advances Outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest (to be paid pro rata to each Lender) and all Break Costs, if applicable (to be paid to the applicable Lender); provided that no such reduction shall be given effect unless (1) sufficient funds have been remitted to pay all such amounts in full, (2) no event has occurred or would result from such prepayment which would constitute an Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event, and (3) no Applicable Law shall prohibit or enjoin the making of the proposed reduction of Advances Outstanding or any other transaction contemplated herein. The Loan Agent shall apply amounts received from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) to the pro rata reduction of the Advances Outstanding and to the payment of all accrued and unpaid Interest on the amount of the Advances Outstanding to be repaid. Any Advance so repaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed during the Reinvestment Period. Any Repayment Notice relating to any repayment pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall be irrevocable; provided that any such Repayment Notice may be conditioned on the effectiveness of any other transaction and may be revoked if such condition is not satisfied.

(c) In connection with any reduction of the Facility Amount in whole or in part pursuant to Section 2.3(a) or the Advances Outstanding pursuant to Section 2.3(b) that occurs on a day other than a Payment Date, each Lender requesting the payment of Break Costs shall provide a certificate to the Borrower confirming the amount thereof and attaching the calculation of the amount thereof and the Borrower shall pay such amounts on the date of such reduction.

Section 2.4 Determination of Interest, etc.

(a) Calculation of Interest.

(i) Advances shall accrue interest for each Accrual Period at a percentage rate per annum equal to the aggregate of:

(1) the Facility Margin Rate; and

(2) the Benchmark Rate.

(ii) The amount of “Interest” payable to any Lender in respect of its Advances for any Accrual Period shall be equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of the products determined for each day in such Accrual Period of (1) the Interest Rate, (2) the greater of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Advances outstanding on such day and (y) (i) during the Ramp-Up Period, $0 and (ii) following the Ramp-Up Period, an amount equal to 60% of the Facility Amount as of such date and (3) a fraction the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is 360 or 365, as applicable.

(iii) Interest shall be computed based on the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant Accrual Period divided by 360.

48

(b) Notifications of rates of interest, etc..

The Loan Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Lenders, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower of the determination of any Benchmark Rate under this Agreement. The Loan Agent shall determine the amount of interest and Commitment Fees to be paid by the Borrower on each Payment Date and shall advise the Collateral Agent thereof in writing no later than the first Business Day of the calendar month in which such Payment Date occurs. Each Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent in writing of all Costs and Expenses and Indemnified Amounts on such Payment Date for the related Accrual Period no later than the first Business Day of the calendar month in which such Payment Date occurs.

(c) Changes to Calculation of Interest.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein if the Borrower or Majority Lenders notify the Loan Agent and the Collateral Agent (with, in the case of the Majority Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Majority Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(1) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Benchmark Rate, including, without limitation, because the Benchmark Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(2) the administrator of the Benchmark Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Lead Lender or such administrator has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Benchmark Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans denominated in USD; provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Lead Lender that will continue to provide the applicable Benchmark Rate after such specific date; or

(3) the events or circumstances of the type described in clauses (1) through (2) above have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect;

then in each case, the Lead Lender and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the applicable Benchmark Rate at the end of any Accrual Period in accordance with this Section 2.4 with another alternate benchmark rate (a “Successor Rate”) giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any other mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Lead Lender (in consultation with the Borrower) from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated, so long as such Successor Rate and related adjustments are administratively feasible to the Lead Lender; provided that any such amendment to this Agreement that affects the rights or duties of the Collateral

49

Agent, the Loan Agent or the Document Custodian shall require the consent of such Person. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments shall constitute a Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.1, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Loan Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Loan Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders object to such amendment.

(ii) If , at the end of any Accrual Period, no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 2.4(c)(i) and the circumstances under Section 2.4(c)(i)(1), (2) or (3) above exist, the Lead Lender will promptly so notify the Borrower, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make Advances shall be suspended until the Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 2.4(c)(i). Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending Funding Request and (ii) any outstanding affected Advance will bear interest for each day of such Accrual Period at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate.

Section 2.5 Evidence of Advances.

Each Advance and all repayments thereof shall be evidenced by the applicable Lender’s loan accounts and records. Subject to the Register maintained pursuant to Section 13.14(b), such loan accounts and records shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Advances and repayments thereof. Any failure to record any Advances or repayment thereof or any error in doing so shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amount owing with respect to the Advances.

Section 2.6 Principal Repayments.

(a) Unless sooner prepaid pursuant to the terms hereof and subject to Section 10.2, the Advances Outstanding shall be repaid by the Borrower in full on the Termination Date. Advances Outstanding shall be repaid as and when necessary to cause the Availability to equal or exceed $0, and any amount so repaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed hereunder during the Reinvestment Period.

(b) All repayments of any Advance or any portion thereof shall be made together with payment of all Interest accrued and unpaid on the amount repaid to (but excluding) the date of such repayment.

Section 2.10 [Reserved].

Section 2.11 Collections and Allocations.

(a) Collections. The Collateral Agent shall promptly identify any collections received in any Collection Account as Interest Collections or Principal Collections (and shall, in the absence of actual knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to receive and rely upon directions from the Collateral Manager in connection with such identification) and shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, all Collections received by the Borrower to the applicable Collection Account by the close of business on the second (2nd) Business Day after such Collections are received. Upon the transfer of Collections to the applicable Collection Account, the Collateral Agent shall segregate Principal Collections and Interest Collections and transfer the same to the Principal Collections Account and the Interest Collections Account, respectively. The Collateral Agent further include a statement in the Collateral Report and in the Payment Date Report as to the amount of Principal Collections and Interest Collections on deposit in the Collection Account as of the related Determination Date in the Collateral Report delivered pursuant to Section 6.7(b).

(b) Excluded Amounts. With the prior written consent of the Lead Lender, the Borrower or the Collateral Manager may withdraw from the applicable Collection Account any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the Collateral Manager has, prior to such withdrawal and consent, delivered to the Loan Agent and the Lead Lender a report setting forth the calculation of such Excluded Amounts in form and substance satisfactory to the Lead Lender.

(c) Initial Deposits. On the Funding Date with respect to any Loan, the Collateral Manager will deposit into the applicable Collection Account all Collections previously received after the applicable Cutoff Date in respect of Eligible Loans being transferred to and included as part of the Collateral on such date.

(d) Investment of Funds. Until the occurrence of a Termination Event, to the extent there are uninvested amounts deposited in the Collection Account, all such amounts shall be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Collateral Manager on each Payment Date. In the absence of any written direction from the Collateral Manager, all amounts deposited in the Collection Account shall remain uninvested. From and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, to the extent there are uninvested amounts in the Collection Account, all such amounts may be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Lead Lender). In the absence of any written direction from the Lead Lender, all amounts deposited in the Collection Account shall remain uninvested. All earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) thereon shall be retained or deposited into the Collection Account and shall be applied on each Payment Date pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.7, Section 2.8(a) and Section 2.9.

54

Section 2.12 Payments, Computations, Etc.

(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 3:00 p.m. on the day when due in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds and any amount not received before such time may be deemed by the Loan Agent, in its discretion, to have been received on the next Business Day. The Borrower or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Secured Parties interest on all principal and Interest amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder at 2.0% per annum above the Benchmark Rate (other than with respect to any Advances Outstanding, which shall accrue at the Interest Rate), payable on demand; provided that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. Such interest shall be for the account of the applicable Secured Party. Any Aggregate Unpaids hereunder shall not be reduced by any distribution of any portion of Collections if at any time such distribution is rescinded or required to be returned by any Lender to the Borrower or any other Person for any reason. All computations of interest and other fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of Interest or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be. For avoidance of doubt, to the extent that Available Funds are insufficient on any Payment Date to satisfy the full amount of any Increased Costs pursuant to Section 2.8(a)(1), such unpaid amounts shall remain due and owing and shall accrue interest as provided in Section 2.11(a) until repaid in full.

(c) If any Advance requested by the Borrower is not effectuated as a result of the Borrower’s actions or failure to fulfill any condition under Section 3.2, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify the applicable Lender against any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by the applicable Lender (other than any such loss, cost or expense solely due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to fund such Advance on the part of the Lenders), including, without limitation, any loss (including cost of funds) or reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the applicable Lender to fund or maintain such Advance. Any such Lender shall provide to the Borrower documentation setting forth the amounts of any loss, cost or expense referred to in the previous sentence, such documentation to be conclusive absent manifest error. Documentation of such expense received at least two Business Day prior to a Reporting Date for any Payment Date shall be paid by the Borrower on such Payment Date. Any expense set forth in a notice received after the second Business Day prior to the Reporting Date for any Payment Date shall be paid on the following Payment Date.

The Borrower hereby assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder, all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to, but none of its obligations under, the Underlying Instruments related to each Loan, all other agreements, documents and instruments evidencing, securing or guaranteeing any Loan and all other agreements, documents and instruments related to any of the foregoing but excluding any Excluded Amounts (the “Assigned Documents”). The Borrower confirms that, at any time when a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, until the Collection Date the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the sole right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under any UCC financing statements filed under or in connection therewith for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The parties hereto agree that such collateral assignment to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall terminate upon the Collection Date.

55

(a) Commitment Fee. On each Payment Date the Borrower shall pay, in accordance with Sections 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9, pro rata to each Lender, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) payable in arrears for each Accrual Period, equal to the sum of the products for each day during such Accrual Period of (i) one divided by 360, (ii) the applicable Commitment Fee Rate (as defined below), and (iii) the aggregate Commitments minus the greater of (x) the Advances Outstanding on such day and (y) (i) during the Ramp-Up Period, $0 and (ii) following the Ramp-Up Period, an amount equal to 60% of the Facility Amount as of such date (such amount, the “Unused Portion”). The Commitment Fee Rate (the “Commitment Fee Rate”) shall be equal to 0.60% for any Unused Portion.

(b) The Collateral Manager shall be entitled to the Collateral Management Fee in accordance with Section 2.7(10), Section 2.8(a)(4) and Section 2.9(7), as applicable.

(c) CLO Exit Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Lead Lender a fee (the “CLO Exit Fee”) equal to $250,000 upon any prepayment of Advances in connection with a CLO Closing Date. The CLO Exit Fee may be netted against any fees paid to the Lead Lender or its Affiliates in its role as arranger or placement agent in connection with the related Term CLO.

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Loan Agent an administration fee in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in the Loan Agent Fee Letter and the other Transaction Documents, in each case in accordance with Section 2.7, Section 2.8(a) and Section 2.9, as applicable.

(e) The Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Document Custodian shall be entitled to receive the Collateral Agent and Portfolio Administration Fee, in each case in accordance with Section 2.7, Section 2.8(a) and Section 2.9, as applicable.

Section 2.15 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

56

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

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

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

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Advances made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand; provided that in no event shall any Lender be required to provide any information or documentation to the extent such Lender reasonably determines providing the same would constitute a breach by such Lender of confidentiality obligations), then on the next succeeding Payment Date the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that such Lender is charging such additional amounts (or similar amounts) to other special purpose entity borrowers under credit facilities backed by assets similar to the Loans in similar circumstances, and such additional amounts are determined by such Lender in a manner that is consistent with the manner in which it determines such additional amounts (or similar additional amounts) charged to such other borrowers.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate, and the basis for such compensation of, such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section, and certifying that such Lender is charging such additional amounts (or similar amounts) to other special purpose entity borrowers under credit facilities backed by assets similar to the Loans in similar circumstances, and such additional amounts are determined by such Lender in a manner that is consistent with the manner in which it determines such additional amounts (or similar additional amounts) charged to such other borrowers shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate on a Payment Date that is within 90 days after receipt thereof.

57

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof; provided further that the Borrower shall only be required to pay such compensation to a Lender to the extent that such Lender is demanding similar compensation in similarly situated facilities.

(e) Each of the Lenders agrees that it will take such commercially reasonable actions as the Borrower may reasonably request that will avoid the need to pay, or reduce the amount of, any increased amounts referred to in this Section 2.15; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to take any actions that would, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender (including, without limitation, due to a loss of money). In no event will the Borrower be responsible for increased amounts referred to in this Section 2.15 which relates to any other entities to which any Lender provides financing.

(f) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.15 or Section 2.16, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Loan Agent, prepay the Advances of such Lender or require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.16), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related transaction documents to an assignee identified by the Borrower (subject to satisfactory completion of “know your customer” review of such assignee by such Lender) that shall assume such obligations (whereupon such Lender shall be obligated to so assign), provided that, (x) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder through the date of such assignment and (y) a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. No prepayment fee that may otherwise be due hereunder shall be payable to such Lender in connection with any such prepayment or assignment.

Section 2.16 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Borrower that the adoption of any law, rule or regulation, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for a Lender to perform its obligations hereunder to fund or maintain Advances hereunder, then (1) the obligation of such Lender hereunder to fund or maintain Advances shall immediately be suspended until such time as such Lender determines (in its sole discretion) that such performance is again lawful, (2) any such Lender shall assign and delegate all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related transaction documents to an assignee identified by the Borrower (subject to satisfactory completion of “know your customer” review of such assignee by such Lender) that shall assume such obligations (whereupon such Lender shall be obligated to so assign) (provided

58

that, (x) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder through the date of such assignment and (y) a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, such Lender determines in its sole discretion that its performance hereunder is again lawful), and (3) if such Lender is unable to effect a transfer under clause (2), then any outstanding Advances of such Lender shall be promptly paid in full by the Borrower (together with all accrued interest and other amounts owing hereunder), either on the following Payment Date, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Advances to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Advances; provided, that no breakage costs resulting from the repayment of Advances on a date other than a Payment Date shall be payable in connection with a repayment of Advances in accordance with this Section 2.16.

Section 2.17 Taxes.

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

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall severally indemnify each Secured Party, on the Payment Date following demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Secured Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Secured Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Secured Party shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Loan Agent and the Collateral Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.14 relating to the maintenance of a register in connection with any participation and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent in connection with the Transaction Documents, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

59

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lead Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Lender.

(e) Status of Secured Parties. (i) Any Secured Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Collateral Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Collateral Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Collateral Agent as will enable the Borrower and the Collateral Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f) (2)(A), (2)(B) and (2)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

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

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

60

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

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

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

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

(4) if a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, the Loan Agent and the Collateral Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower, the Loan Agent and the Collateral Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (4), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement; and

61

(5) if a Loan Agent is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), it shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which it becomes Loan Agent under this Agreement with two duly completed copies of Form W-9. If the Loan Agent is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), it shall provide to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which it becomes Loan Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower): (A) two executed copies of Form W-8ECI with respect to any amounts payable to the Loan Agent for its own account, and (B) two executed copies of Form W-8IMY with respect to any amounts payable to the Loan Agent for the account of others, certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business within the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a United States person with respect to such payments (and the Borrower and the Loan Agent agree to so treat the Loan Agent as a United States person with respect to such payments as contemplated by Section 1.1441- 1(b)(2)(iv) of the United States Treasury Regulations).

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower, the Loan Agent and the Collateral Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Loan Agent and the Collateral Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement, the termination of the Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

62

Section 2.18 Increase in the Maximum Facility Amount.

(a) Request for Increase. Provided that as no Unmatured Termination Event exists and no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 2.18, from time to time during the Reinvestment Period the Borrower may request one or more increases to the Facility Amount up to $200,000,000 (each such increase, a “Facility Increase”).

(v) no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and no Unmatured Termination Event exists at the time of the making of such Facility Increase or will result upon the effectiveness of such Facility Increase.

The Lead Lender shall determine the effective date of any Facility Increase (the “Increase Effective Date”), which (unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Lead Lender) will be no less than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Facility Increase Request and shall notify the Borrower, the Loan Agent, the Lenders, the Parent, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Manager of the Increase Effective Date.

(d) Commitment Increase. On any Increase Effective Date, each Lender’s Commitment will be increased in accordance with a revised Schedule I to be provided by the Loan Agent to each Lender on or prior to the Increase Effective Date.

All instructions and directions given to the Collateral Agent by the Collateral Manager, the Borrower or the Lead Lender pursuant to Sections 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 shall be in writing (including instructions and directions transmitted to the Collateral Agent by facsimile or e-mail), and such written instructions and directions shall be delivered with a written certification that such instructions and directions are in compliance with the provisions of Sections 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9. The Collateral Manager and the Borrower shall immediately transmit to the Lead Lender by facsimile or e-mail a copy of all instructions and directions given to the Collateral Agent by such party pursuant to Sections 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9. The Lead Lender shall promptly transmit to the Collateral Manager and the Borrower by facsimile or e-mail a copy of all instructions and directions given to the Collateral Agent by the Lead Lender, pursuant to Sections 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9. If either the Lead Lender or Collateral Agent disagrees with the computation of any amounts to be paid or deposited by a Borrower or the Collateral Manager under Sections 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, or upon their respective instructions, the Lead Lender shall so notify the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Collateral Agent in writing and in reasonable detail to identify the specific disagreement.

In the event the Collateral Agent receives instructions from the Collateral Manager or the Borrower which conflict with any instructions received from the Lead Lender, the Collateral Agent shall rely on and follow the instructions given by the Lead Lender, and shall have no liability for doing so.

Section 2.22 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i) That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 13.1.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Loan Agent, Collateral Agent and Document Custodian hereunder, second, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Lead Lender hereunder; third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Unmatured Termination Event or Termination Event exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fourth, if so determined by the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any

66

amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Unmatured Termination Event or Termination Event exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) For any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender, that Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(b) If the Lead Lender determines that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Loan Agent shall notify the other parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Lead Lender may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

110

(d) the failure of the Collateral Manager to make any payment when due (after giving effect to any related grace period) under one or more agreements for borrowed money to which it is a party in an aggregate amount in excess of United States $15,000,000, individually or in the aggregate, or the occurrence of any event or condition that has resulted in the acceleration of such recourse debt or other obligations (unless such acceleration has been rescinded or waived or such indebtedness has been discharged);

For the avoidance of doubt, a Lender may be appointed as the Successor Collateral Manager and the appointment of any Successor Collateral Manager shall be in the sole discretion of the Lead Lender.

111

Section 6.12 Appointment of Successor Collateral Manager.

(a) On and after the receipt by the Collateral Manager of a Collateral Manager Termination Notice pursuant to Section 6.11, the Collateral Manager shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the Collateral Manager Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Lead Lender in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Collateral Manager Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Lead Lender, until a date mutually agreed upon by the Collateral Manager and the Lead Lender and shall be entitled to receive, to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.7, Section 2.8 or Section 2.9, as applicable, the Collateral Management Fee therefor until such date. The Lead Lender may, following delivery of a Collateral Manager Termination Notice in its sole discretion, upon 90 days prior written notice to the Collateral Manager, appoint a successor collateral manager (the “Successor Collateral Manager”), and such Successor Collateral Manager shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Lead Lender and each other Lender. In the event that a Successor Collateral Manager has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Collateral Manager ceases to act as Collateral Manager, the Lead Lender shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution or asset manager, having a net worth of not less than United States $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of Collateral, as the Successor Collateral Manager hereunder.

The indemnification obligations of the Successor Collateral Manager upon becoming a Successor Collateral Manager, are expressly limited to those arising on account of its failure to act in good faith and with reasonable care under the circumstances. In addition, the Successor Collateral Manager shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Collateral Manager contained in Article IV.

112

(c) All authority and power granted to the Collateral Manager under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of this Agreement and shall pass to and be vested in the Borrower and, without limitation, the Borrower is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Collateral Manager, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Collateral Manager agrees to cooperate with the Borrower in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Collateral Manager to conduct servicing of the Collateral.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, a Successor Collateral Manager is authorized to accept and rely on all of the accounting, records (including computer records) and work of the prior Collateral Manager relating to the Loans (collectively, the “Predecessor Collateral Manager Work Product”) without any audit or other examination thereof, and such Successor Collateral Manager shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of the prior Collateral Manager. If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, “Errors”) exist in any Predecessor Collateral Manager Work Product and such Errors make it materially more difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to the Successor Collateral Manager making or continuing any Errors (collectively, “Continued Errors”), such Successor Collateral Manager shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for such Continued Errors; provided that such Successor Collateral Manager agrees to use its best efforts to prevent further Continued Errors. In the event that the Successor Collateral Manager becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, it shall, with the prior consent of the Lead Lender, use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future Continued Errors.

(ii) The Lead Lender may direct the Collateral Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder.

115

(iv) The delivery of reports, and other documents and information to the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Transaction Document is for informational purposes only and the Collateral Agent’s receipt of such documents and information shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein.

(c) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Collateral Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in the case of its willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in this Agreement against the Collateral Agent or any other Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in the Transaction Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not have any fiduciary relationship with any party hereto or any Secured Party in its capacity as such, and no implied covenants, functions, obligations or responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. The grant of any permissive right or power hereunder (without an explicit duty to act) to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose a mandatory duty to act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby expressly agreed and stipulated by the other parties hereto that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion hereunder and shall have no investment or management responsibility.

118

(f) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to advance, expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial or other liability or expense in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk, expense or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(g) It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Collateral Agent is not overseeing or guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or to any other Transaction Document or any parties to the Collateral or related documents. The Collateral Agent Agents shall be under no obligation to (i) confirm or verify whether the conditions to the delivery of Collateral have been satisfied or to determine whether (A) a loan is an Eligible Loan or meets the criteria in the definition thereof or is otherwise eligible for purchase hereunder, (B) an investment is an Permitted Investment or meets the criteria in the definition thereof or is otherwise eligible for purchase hereunder, (ii) to determine or verify the Borrowing Base or Borrowing Base Calculation Statement, or (iii) evaluate the sufficiency of the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with the grant by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent of any item constituting the Collateral or otherwise, or in that regard to examine any underlying documents, in order to determine compliance with the applicable requirements of and restrictions on transfer of a Eligible Loan or Permitted Investment.

(h) In case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent may, prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event or the Termination Date, request instructions from the Collateral Manager and may, after the occurrence of a Termination Event or the Termination Date, request instructions from the Lead Lender or the Majority Lenders, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Collateral Manager or the Lead Lender or the Majority Lenders, as applicable. The Collateral Agent shall in all events have no liability, risk or cost for any action taken pursuant to and in compliance with the instruction of the Collateral Manager, the Borrower, the Majority Lenders or the Lead Lender. In the event the Collateral Agent shall receive conflicting instruction from the Lead Lender and the Majority Lenders, the instruction of the Majority Lenders shall govern. In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits or diminution of value), even if the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(i) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of the Document Custodian, the Securities Intermediary, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Manager, the Borrower, the Lead Lender or any other Person under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and shall not be required to monitor the performance of any such Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to perform any of the duties of any such Person under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(j) It is expressly acknowledged by the parties hereto that application and performance by the Collateral Agent of its various duties hereunder (including recalculations to be performed in respect of the matters contemplated hereby) shall be based upon, and in reliance upon, data, information and notice provided to it by the Collateral Manager, the Lead Lender, the

119

Borrower and/or any related bank agent, obligor or similar party, and the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of any such information or data provided to it by such persons and shall be entitled to update its records (as it may deem necessary or appropriate). Without limiting the generality of any terms of this section, the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of the Collateral Manager, the Lead Lender, or the Borrower to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to the Collateral Agent or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on the its part of any of its duties hereunder that is caused by or results from any such inaccurate, incomplete or untimely information received by it, or other failure on the part of any such other party to comply with the terms hereof.

(k) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including but not limited to acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, disease or government action (including any laws, ordinances, regulations, whether or not of the same class or kind as specified above), that delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of services by the Collateral Agent as contemplated by this Agreement.

(l) The Collateral Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more agents or sub-agents appointed by it; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the actions or omissions of any agent or sub-agent appointed with due care hereunder, to the extent such agent or sub-agent is not an Affiliate of the Collateral Agent.

(m) [Reserved].

(n) The Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility and shall have no liability for (i) preparing, recording, filing, re-recording or re-filing any financing statement, continuation statement, document, instrument or other notice in any public office at any time or times, (ii) the correctness of any such financing statement, continuation statement, document or instrument or other such notice, (iii) taking any action to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest granted to it hereunder or otherwise or (iv) the validity or perfection of any such lien or security interest.

(o) The Collateral Manager and the Lead Lender shall reasonably cooperate with the Collateral Agent in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder and under any Transaction Document, including providing it with such information or documentation as it may reasonably request for purposes of any calculation to be made by it. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent under the Transaction Documents are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral, shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers, unless and to the extent expressly provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents, and are subject to the provisions of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for taking any necessary steps to protect, preserve or exercise rights against any Person with respect to any of the Collateral (except to the extent expressly required in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents), unless and to the extent expressly provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents, and shall be relieved of all responsibility for the

120

Collateral upon surrendering it to the Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to take any discretionary action under this Agreement or any Transaction Document and before taking or omitting any action to be taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent under the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Collateral Agent may seek the written direction of the Lead Lender, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely (and shall be fully protected in so relying) upon such direction. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with such direction. In absence of such direction with respect to any action or inaction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such action unless and until such Agent shall have received such direction, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

(p) The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into (i) the occurrence of any default, or the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (ii) the creation, perfection or priority of any lien purported to be created by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (iii) other than as expressly set forth in Section 2.2(c), the satisfaction of any condition set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(q) The Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility in respect of (i) the acquisition or maintenance of any insurance or (ii) the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Collateral or any other assets of the Borrower or any other Person.

(r) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for failing to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Transaction Document in so far as the performance of such obligations is dependent upon the timely receipt of instructions and/or other information from any other person which are not received or not received by the time required.

(s) Except as expressly required pursuant to Section 7.2(b) hereof, nothing herein shall be construed to impose an obligation on the part of the Collateral Agent to recalculate, evaluate, verify or independently determine the accuracy of any report, certificate or other information received from the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Lead Lender or any other Person.

(t) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for the selection of any investments or any losses in connection therewith, or for any failure of the relevant party to timely provide investment instruction in connection with the investment of funds in or from any account set forth herein.

(u) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation (i) to monitor, determine, or verify any Benchmark Rate, Reference Rate, Term SOFR or other applicable benchmark interest rate, or to monitor, determine, calculate or verify the unavailability or cessation of any Benchmark Rate, Reference Rate, Term SOFR or other applicable benchmark

121

interest rate whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other Person of the occurrence of, any date on which such rate may be required to be transitioned or replaced in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, applicable law or otherwise, (ii) to select, determine or designate any replacement to such rate, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, (iii) to select, determine or designate any modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (iv) to determine whether or what any amendments to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing.

(v) In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (collectively, “Relevant Laws”), the Collateral Agent is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Collateral Agent. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Collateral Agent upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as is reasonably available to such party (and not subject to any confidentiality restrictions) in order to enable the Collateral Agent to comply with Relevant Laws.

(w) The rights, privileges, protections, indemnities, immunities and benefits afforded to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement are extended to, and shall be enforceable by (i) it in each Transaction Document to which it is a party or otherwise subject, whether or not specifically set forth therein, and (ii) the entity serving as the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates, including U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in their respective capacities as Securities Intermediary and Document Custodian hereunder and under any other Transaction Document and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act by the Collateral Agent and its affiliates, including U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, hereunder and under any Transaction Document, whether or not specifically set forth herein or in any Transaction Document, as the case may be, together with such other rights, privileges, protections, indemnities, immunities and benefits afforded to the applicable party hereunder or under any related document.

Section 7.8 Erroneous Payments.

(i) Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent notifies such Lender that it has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Loan Agent or any of its Affiliates or the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a

122

portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent in same day funds at a rate determined by the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including, without limitation, waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar theory or doctrine. A notice of the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent to any Lender under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment from the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by notice of payment, or (z) that such Lender otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each case, if an error has been made each such Lender is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of receipt of such Erroneous Payment, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar theory or doctrine. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in same day funds a rate determined by the Loan Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

Each of the Loan Agent and the Collateral Agent agrees promptly to notify the Lender after any such setoff and application made by it; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(v) Each party’s obligations under this section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Loan Agent and the Collateral Agent, the termination of this Agreement, the termination of the Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

Section 8.7 Release of Documents.

(a) Release for Servicing. From time to time and as appropriate for the enforcement or servicing of any of the Collateral, the Document Custodian is hereby authorized (unless and until such authorization is revoked by the Lead Lender), upon written receipt from the Collateral Manager of a request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D, to release to the Collateral Manager within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such request, the related Required Loan Documents or the documents set forth in such request and receipt to the Collateral Manager. All documents so released to the Collateral Manager shall be held by the Collateral Manager in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral Manager shall return to the Document Custodian the Required Loan Documents or other such documents (i) promptly upon the request of the Lead Lender, or (ii) when the Collateral Manager’s need therefor in connection with such foreclosure or servicing no longer exists, unless the Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, the Collateral Manager shall deliver an additional request for release of documents to the Document Custodian and receipt certifying such liquidation from the Collateral Manager to the Document Custodian, all in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D.

(b) Limitation on Release. The foregoing provision with respect to the release to the Collateral Manager of the Required Loan Documents and documents by the Document Custodian upon request by the Collateral Manager shall be operative only to the extent that the Lead Lender has consented to such release. Promptly after delivery to the Document Custodian of any request for release of documents, the Collateral Manager shall provide notice of the same to the Lead Lender. Any additional Required Loan Documents or documents requested to be released by the Collateral Manager may be released only upon written authorization of the Lead Lender (with a copy to the Document Custodian). The limitations of this paragraph shall not apply to the release of Required Loan Documents to the Collateral Manager pursuant to the immediately succeeding subsection.

(c) Release for Payment. Upon receipt by the Document Custodian of the Collateral Manager’s request for release of documents and receipt in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment or repurchase have been credited to the Collection Account as provided in this Agreement), the Document Custodian shall promptly release the related Required Loan Documents to the Collateral Manager.

Section 8.8 Return of Required Loan Documents.

The Borrower may, with the prior written consent of the Lead Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), require that the Document Custodian return each Required Loan Document (a) delivered to the Document Custodian in error, (b) that has been the subject of a sale pursuant to Section 2.19(a) or (c) that is required to be redelivered to the Borrower in connection with the termination of this Agreement, in each case by submitting to the Document Custodian

131

and the Lead Lender a written request in the form of Exhibit D hereto (signed by both the Borrower and the Lead Lender) specifying the Required Loan Documents to be so returned and reciting that the conditions to such release have been met (and specifying the Section or Sections of this Agreement being relied upon for such release). The Document Custodian shall upon its receipt of each such request for return executed by the Borrower and the Lead Lender promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, return the Required Loan Documents so requested to the Borrower.

Section 8.9 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Collateral; Audits.

The Document Custodian shall provide to the Lead Lender and the Collateral Agent access to the Required Loan Documents and all other documentation regarding the Collateral including in such cases where the Lead Lender and/or the Collateral Agent is required in connection with the enforcement of the rights or interests of the Secured Parties, or by applicable statutes or regulations, to review such documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (i) upon two (2) Business Days prior written request, (ii) during normal business hours and (iii) subject to the Collateral Manager’s and Document Custodian’s normal security and confidentiality procedures. Prior to the Closing Date and periodically thereafter at the discretion of the Lead Lender, the Lead Lender and each Lender may review the Collateral Manager’s collection and administration of the Collateral in order to assess compliance by the Collateral Manager with the Collateral Management Standard, as well as with this Agreement and may conduct an audit of the Collateral, and Required Loan Documents in conjunction with such a review (which audit (x) shall be coordinated by the Lead Lender and (y) may take the form of a bank meeting). Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.9, from time to time on request of the Lead Lender, the Document Custodian shall permit certified public accountants or other independent auditors acceptable to the Lead Lender to conduct, at the Borrower’s expense, a review of the Required Loan Documents and all other documentation regarding the Collateral.

Section 8.10 Agency.

The Document Custodian agrees that, with respect to any Required Loan Documents (or copies thereof) at any time or times in its possession or held in its name, the Document Custodian shall be the agent of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for purposes of perfecting (to the extent not otherwise perfected) the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral and for the purpose of ensuring that such security interest is entitled to first priority status under the UCC (subject to Permitted Liens).

ARTICLE IX.

SECURITY INTEREST

Section 9.1 Grant of Security Interest.

(a) The parties to this Agreement intend that this Agreement constitute a security agreement and the transactions effected hereby constitute secured loans by the applicable Lenders to the Borrower under Applicable Law. For such purpose, the Borrower hereby Grants as of the Closing Date to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a lien and continuing security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under (but none of the obligations under) all Collateral, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired by the Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, to secure the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, of the applicable Aggregate Unpaids arising in connection with this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, including, without limitation, all Aggregate Unpaids. The Grant of a security interest under this Section 9.1 does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by any of the Secured Parties of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Person in connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or obligations under the Collateral, and (iii) none of Secured Parties shall have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each party to this Agreement hereby agrees to treat each Advance as indebtedness for purposes of United States federal and state income tax or state franchise tax to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and shall file its tax returns or reports in a manner consistent with such treatment.

Section 9.2 Release of Lien on Collateral.

At the same time as (i) any Collateral expires by its terms and all amounts in respect thereof have been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account, (ii) such Loan is transferred or replaced in any manner permitted under this Agreement, including in accordance with Section 2.18, pursuant to a Discretionary Sale pursuant to Section 2.19 or pursuant to a Term CLO or (iii) this Agreement terminates in accordance with Section 13.5, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties will, to the extent requested by the Collateral Manager (which request shall be deemed to be a certification (upon which the Collateral Agent, Document Custodian and the Loan Agent may conclusively rely and shall not be liable for acting upon) that all conditions precedent to such release have been satisfied and such release is authorized and permitted by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents), release its interest in such Collateral. In connection with such release, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, will after the deposit by the Collateral Manager of any amounts required to be deposited into the Collection Account, at the sole expense of the Collateral Manager (subject to reimbursement as provided in Sections 2.7, 2.8(a) and 2.9), execute and deliver to the Collateral Manager any assignments, bills of sale, termination statements and any other releases and instruments prepared by the Collateral Manager (and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) as the Collateral Manager may reasonably request in order to effect the release and transfer of such Collateral; provided that, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, will make no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to any such Collateral in connection with such sale or transfer and assignment.

133

Section 9.3 Remedies.

Subject to the provisions of Section 10.2, upon the occurrence and continuance of a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent and Secured Parties shall have, with respect to the Collateral granted pursuant to Section 9.1, and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Collateral Agent and Secured Parties under this Agreement or other Applicable Law, all rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC.

Section 9.4 Power of Attorney.

The Borrower and the Collateral Manager each hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent (each, without obligation) as its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense (subject to reimbursement of the Collateral Manager as provided in Sections 2.7, 2.8(a) and 2.9), in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for (and subject to the terms and conditions set forth) in this Agreement solely following the occurrence and continuance of a Termination Event, including without limitation the following powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, the Borrower and the Collateral Manager hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto, and (d) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction Document. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent or a Lender, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent or such Lender all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request.

Section 10.2 Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent, upon the written direction of all of the Lenders, shall by notice to the Borrower, declare the Termination Date to have occurred; provided that, in the case of any event described in Section 10.1(d) or 10.1(e) (in the case of Section 10.1(e) due to the occurrence of an event described in Section 6.11(f)) above, the Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred automatically upon the occurrence of such event. Upon any such declaration or automatic occurrence, (i) the Borrower shall cease purchasing Loans from any third party seller other than pursuant to binding commitments entered into prior to such time (provided that (x) the Lenders shall have no obligation to advance any amounts hereunder in connection with the acquisition of such Loan and the Borrower shall not apply any Principal Collections on deposit in the Collection Account to the acquisition of such Loan and (y) the Borrower shall not acquire such Loan if such action would worsen an existing Termination Event or cause the occurrence of a Termination Event), (ii) the Lead Lender acting at the direction of a Supermajority of the Lenders or all of the Lenders may declare the Advances to be immediately due and payable in full (without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower) and any other Aggregate Unpaids to be immediately due and payable, and (iii) all proceeds and distributions in respect of the Related Security shall be distributed by the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Lead Lender) as described in Section 2.9 (provided that the Borrower shall in any event remain

137

liable to pay such Advances and all such amounts and Aggregate Unpaids immediately in accordance with Section 2.9). In addition, upon any such declaration or upon any such automatic occurrence, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties and at the direction of the Lead Lender, shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction and other Applicable Law, which rights shall be cumulative. Without limiting any obligation of the Collateral Manager hereunder, the Borrower confirms and agrees that the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties and at the direction of the Lead Lender, (or any designee thereof, including, without limitation, the Collateral Manager), following a Termination Event, shall, at its option, have the sole right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under each Assigned Document, but without any obligation on the part of the Loan Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower under any such Assigned Document.

(b) Upon the declaration or occurrence of the Termination Date, the Reinvestment Period shall end and the Default Period shall commence. If, (i) upon the Collateral Agent’s (acting as directed by the Lead Lender) or the Lenders’ declaration that the Advances made to the Borrower hereunder are immediately due and payable pursuant to this Section 10.2 upon such declaration, or (ii) on the Termination Date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances, all accrued and unpaid fees and Interest and any other Aggregate Unpaids are not immediately paid in full, then the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Lead Lender), in addition to all other rights specified hereunder, shall have the right, in its own name and as agent for the Lenders, to immediately sell (at the Collateral Manager’s expense but subject to reimbursement as provided in Sections 2.7, 2.8(a) and 2.9) in a commercially reasonable manner, in a recognized market (if one exists) at such price or prices as the Lead Lender may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all of the Collateral and apply the proceeds thereof to the Aggregate Unpaids; provided that the Borrower, or its Affiliates, may exercise its right of first refusal to repurchase the Collateral, in whole but not in part, prior to such sale at a purchase price that is not less than the amount of the Aggregate Unpaids, which right of first refusal shall terminate not later than 5:00 p.m. on the tenth Business Day following the Termination Date.

(c) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to sell all of the Collateral on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for the assets constituting the Collateral may not be liquid. Accordingly, the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Lead Lender) may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any of the Collateral under this Section 10.2, and nothing contained herein shall obligate the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Lead Lender) to liquidate any of the Collateral on the date the Collateral Agent or all of the Lenders declare the Advances made to the Borrower hereunder to be immediately due and payable pursuant to this Section 10.2 or to liquidate all of the Collateral in the same manner or on the same Business Day.

(d) If the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Lead Lender) proposes to sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or private sale following declaration of the Termination Date, at the request of the Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the Lead Lender), the Borrower and the Collateral Manager shall make available to (i) the Loan Agent, the Lead Lender, on a timely basis, all information (including any information that the Borrower and the Collateral Manager are required by law or contract to be kept confidential,

138

subject to compliance with the applicable law or contractual provision) relating to the Collateral subject to sale, including, without limitation, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant certificates and any other materials requested by the Collateral Agent, and (ii) each prospective bidder, on a timely basis, all reasonable information relating to the Collateral subject to sale, including, without limitation, copies of any disclosure documents, contracts, financial statements of the applicable Obligors, covenant compliance certificates and any other materials reasonably requested by each such bidder.

(e) Any amounts received from any sale or liquidation of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.2 in excess of the Aggregate Unpaids will be applied by the Collateral Agent (as directed by the Lead Lender) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.9, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(f) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Termination Event.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2, the Collateral Agent agrees not to deliver and the Loan Agent agrees not to direct the Collateral Agent to deliver a notice of exclusive control under any securities account or deposit account control agreement unless a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing.

(h) Concurrently with the exercise of any of the remedies set forth in this Section 10.2, the Collateral Agent shall provide written notice specifying the remedy that is being exercised to the Loan Agent and the Lead Lender.

(b) Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 11.1 shall be paid by the Borrower to the applicable Indemnified Party on the next Payment Date and each succeeding Payment Date until paid in full following receipt by the Borrower of written demand therefor by the applicable Indemnified Party.

(d) If the Borrower has made any indemnity payments to the Lead Lender, on behalf of an Indemnified Party, pursuant to this Section 11.1 and such payment fully indemnified such Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any payments from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, then such Indemnified Party will repay to the Borrower an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts.

Without limiting the Collateral Manager’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 11.2(a), in no event shall the Collateral Manager be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, even if the Collateral Manager has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 11.2 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Collateral Manager shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Collateral Manager on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that the Collateral Manager shall not be required to contribute in respect of any Indemnified Amounts excluded in Section 11.2(a).

(d) If the Collateral Manager has made any indemnity payments to an Indemnified Party, pursuant to this Section 11.2 and such payment fully indemnified such Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any payments from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, then such Indemnified Party will repay to the Collateral Manager an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts.

(e) The Collateral Manager shall have no liability for making indemnification hereunder to the extent any such indemnification constitutes recourse for uncollectible or uncollected Loans.

(f) The obligations of the Collateral Manager under this Section 11.2 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Loan Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent or the Document Custodian, the termination of this Agreement, the termination of the Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

(g) Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall not be payable from the Collateral.

(h) The provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable by an injured party subject to the limitations hereof.

Each applicable Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party under Section 11.1 and Section 11.2, within a reasonable time after such Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by such Indemnified Party relating to the claim giving rise to the Indemnified Amounts.

Section 11.3 Legal Proceedings.

In the event an Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action, claim, or legal, governmental or administrative proceeding (an “Action”) for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other party or parties against whom it seeks indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the nature and particulars of the Action; provided that its failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure would materially prejudice the legal position of the Indemnifying Party. Upon written notice to the Indemnified Party acknowledging in writing that the indemnification provided hereunder applies to the Indemnified Party in connection with the Action (subject to the exclusion in the first sentence of Section 11.1, the first sentence of Section 11.2 or Section 11.2(d), as applicable), the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of the Action at its expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided that if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Action, or that the Indemnifying Party is not conducting the defense of the Action in a manner reasonably protective of the interests of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall no longer have such right to assume the defense of the Action. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel in connection with the Action, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party after the Indemnifying Party has done so; provided that if the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Action, or that the Indemnifying Party is not conducting the defense of the Action in a manner reasonably protective of the interests of the Indemnified Party, the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided further that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one Action or separate but substantially similar or related Actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (and any required local counsel) for such Indemnified Party, which firm (and local counsel, if any) shall be designated in writing to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Action, it shall have full control over the conduct of such defense; provided that the Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall, as reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party or its counsel, consult with and keep them informed with respect to the conduct of such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle an Action without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement provides for the full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in connection with the Action. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Action.

Section 11.4 After-Tax Basis.

Indemnification under Section 11.1 and Section 11.2 shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any Tax consequences to the Indemnified Party of the receipt of the indemnity payment provided hereunder, including the effect of such Tax or refund on the amount of Tax measured by net income or profits that is or was payable by the Indemnified Party.

ARTICLE XII.

THE LOAN AGENT AND LEAD LENDER

Section 12.1 The Loan Agent.

(a) Appointment. Each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Loan Agent as its representative and hereby further authorizes the Loan Agent to appoint additional representatives to act on its behalf and for the benefit of each Secured Party. Each Secured Party further authorizes the Loan Agent to take such action as representative on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Loan Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the Loan Agent as its representative to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Loan Agent may deem necessary or appropriate or that a Secured Party may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution by the Collateral Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Collateral now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, the Loan Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor shall the Loan Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Loan Agent.

(b) Delegation of Duties. The Loan Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Loan Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment that the Loan Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such agent, sub-agent or attorney-in-fact. The exculpatory provisions of this Article XII shall apply to any such agent, employee or attorneys-in-fact and the officers, directors and employees of the Loan Agent and any agent, employee or attorney-in-fact.

(c) Loan Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Loan Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Loan Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. Each party hereto hereby waives any and all claims against the Loan Agent or any of its Affiliates for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Loan Agent or any of its Affiliates under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-

145

appealable judgment; provided, that, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Loan Agent in accordance with the directions of the Lead Lender or Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary under the Transaction Documents, or as the Loan Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances) shall not be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Loan Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, the Loan Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the Collateral Manager), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any statements, warranties or representations made by any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager; (iv) shall not be responsible for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. The Loan Agent will provide copies of notices, certificates and reports that it receives from the Borrower to the Lenders to the extent they are not required to be delivered to Lenders by the Borrower or any other party to this Agreement, and shall have no obligation to review such notices, certificates or reports except as expressly provided herein. The Loan Agent shall not be under a duty to examine or independently evaluate, and shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of, the contents of any financial statements or reports to delivered to it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, it being acknowledged that such deliveries are for the purpose of making such materials available to the Lenders. In no event shall the Loan Agent be liable for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages (including lost profits) under or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, whether or not the Loan Agent has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damages.

(d) Actions by Loan Agent. The Loan Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lead Lender or the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lead Lender or the Majority Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Loan Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Lead Lender or the Majority Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Loan Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Loan Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Loan Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. In the event the Loan Agent requests the consent of the Lead Lender or the Majority Lenders pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Loan Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Person within ten Business Days of such Person’s receipt of such request, then the Lead Lender or the Majority Lenders shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action. In the event the Loan Agent shall receive conflicting instruction from the Lead Lender and the Majority Lenders, the instruction of the Majority Lenders shall govern.

146

(e) Notice of Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event or Collateral Manager Default. The Loan Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event or Collateral Manager Default, unless the Loan Agent has received written notice from a Lender, the Borrower or the Collateral Manager referring to this Agreement, describing such Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event or Collateral Manager Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Termination Event,” “Notice of Unmatured Termination Event” or “Notice of Collateral Manager Default,” as applicable. The Loan Agent shall (subject to Section 12.1(c)) take such action with respect to such Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event or Collateral Manager Default as may be requested by the Lenders acting jointly or as the Loan Agent shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

(f) Credit Decision with Respect to the Loan Agent. Each Secured Party acknowledges that neither the Loan Agent nor any of its Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Loan Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or any of their respective Affiliates or review or approval of any of the Collateral, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any of the Loan Agent or its Affiliates to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Loan Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Loan Agent, or any of its Affiliates, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Loan Agent or any of its Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each Secured Party hereby agrees that the Loan Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Loan Agent or any of its Affiliates.

(g) Indemnification of the Loan Agent.

Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Loan Agent Indemnified Parties, ratably in accordance with its pro rata share promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by the Loan Agent Indemnified Parties in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to the extent that the Loan Agent Indemnified Parties are not timely reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager.

DIVERSITY SCORE CALCULATION

The Diversity Score is calculated as follows:

(a) An Issuer Par Amount is calculated for each issuer of a Loan, and is equal to the aggregate principal balance of all the Loans issued by that issuer and all Affiliates.

(b) An Average Par Amount is calculated by summing the Issuer Par Amounts for all issuers, and dividing by the number of issuers.

(c) An Equivalent Unit Score is calculated for each issuer, and is equal to the lesser of (x) one and (y) the Issuer Par Amount for such issuer divided by the Average Par Amount.

(d) An Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score is then calculated for each of the Industries, shown on Schedule IX, and is equal to the sum of the Equivalent Unit Scores for each issuer in such Industry.

(e) An Industry Diversity Score is then established for each Industry, shown on Schedule IX, by reference to the following table for the related Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score; provided that if any Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score falls between any two such scores, the applicable Industry Diversity Score will be the lower of the two Industry Diversity Scores:
