THE COMMITMENTS AND BORROWINGS

2.01 Loans.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of the Loans made by any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.03, and reborrow under this Section 2.01. Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as further provided herein.

-36-

2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Term SOFR Loans, except as set forth in clause (g) below, shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, which may be given in writing, including via email. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (x) in the case of Intra-Period SOFR Loans, 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day immediately prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Intra-Period SOFR Loans or conversion of Base Rate Loans to Intra-Period SOFR Loans or of any conversion of Intra-Period SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans, (y) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day immediately prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or of any conversion of Term SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans and (z) in the case of Base Rate Loans, 11:00 a.m. on the same Business Day as the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of any Base Rate Loan; provided, without any action required by the Borrower under this Agreement (A) each Term SOFR Loan shall be automatically continued as a Term SOFR Loan at the end of the then-current Interest Period unless the Borrower converts such Loan into a Base Rate Loan and (B) each Base Rate Loan shall be automatically converted into a Term SOFR Loan at the end of the then-current Interest Period. Each written notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of the lesser of (x) $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (y) the amount of the unused portion of the Commitments. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or in the amount of the unused portion of the Commitments. Each Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Term SOFR Loans (unless such Term SOFR Loan is automatically continued pursuant to this Section 2.02(a)), (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or continued or to which existing Loans are to be converted and (v) with respect to any Delayed Draw Asset, the amount to be deposited in the Unfunded Exposure Account in connection with the acquisition of any Collateral Asset(s) pursuant to Section 2.15. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation of Term SOFR Loans, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans (unless, in the case of a Term SOFR Loan, such Loan was automatically continued as a Term SOFR Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02(a)); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower may make such specifications of the Type or Types of Loans in the form of standing instructions. Any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Term SOFR Loans.

-37-

(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Borrowing, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(c) Except as otherwise provided, a Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Term SOFR Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) upon the expiration of the Availability Period, if the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made a Loan Notice and for such Borrowing to be deposited into the Unfunded Exposure Account in the amount of the lesser of (x) such shortfall and (y) the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Loan Amount and (ii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, (A) if the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made a Loan Notice and for such Borrowing to be deposited into the Unfunded Exposure Account in the amount of such shortfall and (B) request a Borrowing equal to the aggregate Unfunded Exposure Amount minus any amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account (the “Exposure Amount Shortfall”). Following receipt of a Loan Notice (which shall specify the account details of the Unfunded Exposure Account where the funds will be made available), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loans and the Lenders shall fund such Aggregate Unfunded Exposure Loan Amount or Exposure Amount Shortfall, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.02(b), notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02), except that no Lender shall make any Loan to the extent that, after giving effect to such Loan, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Borrowing Base.

(f) Upon the Borrower’s written request, the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to promptly notify in writing the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period upon determination of such interest rate. Upon the Borrower’s written request, at any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify in writing the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

-38-

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Borrowing of SOFR Loans or conversion of Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans requested pursuant to the terms hereof on any day other than the first day of the applicable Interest Period shall initially be made as Intra-Period SOFR Loans. On the last day of each Interest Period, all Intra-Period SOFR Loans shall automatically, and without further action by the Borrower, be converted to Term SOFR Loans; provided that, during the existence of an Event of Default, no Intra-Period SOFR Loans shall be converted to Term SOFR Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders, and to the extent such consent is not obtained prior to the last day of the related Interest Period, such Intra-Period SOFR Loans shall be converted to Term SOFR Loans on the last day of the next Interest Period if either (x) the Required Lenders have consented to such conversion or (y) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on such date. In no case shall the Borrower be permitted to convert Term SOFR Loans to Intra-Period SOFR Loans.

2.03 Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans, in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) one Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of any Term SOFR Loan and (B) the date of prepayment of any Base Rate Loan; (ii) any prepayment of Term SOFR Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Subject to Section 2.12, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower may rescind any such notice not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day before such prepayment was scheduled to take place if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of the Loans, which refinancing will not be consummated or will otherwise be delayed.

(b) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that:

(i) a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists at such time (such notice, a “Deficiency Notice”), then the Borrower shall (A) give notice to the Administrative Agent and Lenders via electronic mail of its intent to cure any Borrowing Base Deficiency by 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day following the delivery of notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower of such Borrowing Base Deficiency (unless the Borrower has actually cured such Borrowing Base Deficiency by such time) and (B) either (I) cure any Borrowing Base Deficiency by 3:00 p.m. on the second Business Day following the delivery of such notice

-39-

by repaying outstanding Loans, selling Collateral Assets and depositing the proceeds of such sale into the Collection Account or Unfunded Exposure Account, as applicable or transferring additional Eligible Collateral Assets (including Permitted Participation Interests on a trade date basis), Cash or Cash Equivalents (including Interest Proceeds) to the Principal Proceeds Account so that the Borrowing Base Deficiency Amount will be reduced to zero and/or (II)(x) deliver to the Administrative Agent a written report showing a projected cure of any Borrowing Base Deficiency based on actions described in clause (I), if any, delivery of a Capital Contribution Notice and pending purchases and sales of Collateral Assets by 3:00 p.m. on the second Business Day following the delivery of such notice (or any combination of the foregoing), which report shall (1) be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which report shall be deemed to be satisfactory if it contemplates only sales to Approved Dealers pursuant to clause (3) below), (2) give effect to all committed purchases of Collateral Assets and other financial assets by the Borrower and account in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for any change in the market value of any such Collateral Asset and (3) give effect to sales of Collateral Assets (including sales committed to on the date of such report) only if such sales are to Approved Dealers and Borrower reasonably expects such sales to be settled within 10 Business Days of the Borrower’s commitment to such sale and (y) cure Borrowing Base Deficiency by 3:00 p.m. on the tenth (10th) Business Day following the delivery of such notice (which period shall include the two (2) Business Days permitted for delivery of such report); provided that, notwithstanding anything contrary in this Section 2.03(b)(i) and subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, if the Borrowing Base Deficiency ceases to exist during the relevant cure period set forth herein (whether due to a change in the Current Market Value of any Collateral Asset or otherwise), the Borrower shall not be required to take any of the foregoing actions, notwithstanding any notice given to the Administrative Agent of any intent to take any action or any Capital Contribution Notice sent to investors; or

(ii) a breach of the Interest Coverage Test exists at such time (such notice, also a “Deficiency Notice”), then the Borrower shall (A) give notice to the Administrative Agent and Lenders via electronic mail of its intent to cure any such breach of the Interest Coverage Test by 3:00 p.m. on the second Business Day following the delivery of notice from the Administrative Agent of such breach (unless the Borrower has actually cured such breach by such time), (B) if the Borrower intends to cure such breach by means of a cash capital contribution from the Borrower Parent, provide evidence to the Administrative Agent, which is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that delivery of a Capital Contribution Notice shall constitute such reasonably satisfactory evidence so long as the Collateral Manager is not in default of any of its obligations under the Loan Documents or any of its other material contractual obligations), that the Borrower Parent intends to make such contribution in order to cure such breach on or prior to the date that is ten (10) Business Days following the date on which the Administrative Agent sent notice to the Borrower that a breach of the Interest Coverage Test has occurred (unless the Borrower has actually cured such breach by such time), (C) if the Borrower intends to cure such breach by designating Principal Proceeds as Interest Proceeds, provide evidence to the Administrative Agent that the Principal Proceeds Test will be satisfied on a pro forma basis by 3:00 p.m. on the second Business Day following the date on which the Administrative Agent sent notice to the Borrower regarding such breach and (D) in each

-40-

case, cure any such breach by 3:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day (or, in the case of a cure by means of a capital contribution from the Borrower Parent, the tenth Business Day) following the date on which the Administrative Agent sent notice to the Borrower that such breach arose by transferring Cash to the Collection Account which shall immediately be applied to pay interest on the Loans and/or fees payable to the Lenders or Administrative Agent that otherwise could not be paid with Cash available in the Collection Account prior to such transfer, to cure such breach (it being understood that, for purposes of this Section, such Cash shall be deemed to be Interest Proceeds for purposes of determining the Interest Coverage Ratio) and, for purposes of determining whether an Event of Default under Section 8.01(i) has occurred, the Interest Coverage Ratio shall be re-calculated on a retrospective basis as if such deemed Interest Proceeds had been received in the previous Interest Period);

provided that, any Deficiency Notice delivered on (x) a non-Business Day or (y) after 12:00 p.m. on a Business Day, will, in each case, be deemed to have been delivered on the immediately succeeding Business Day.

(c) Any prepayment of any Loan shall be accompanied by all amounts owing under Section 2.06 (other than accrued interest, if such prepayment is not on a Payment Date) in respect of the amount prepaid and in the case of any Term SOFR Loan any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.

(d) If a Restricted Payment Test Failure has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may cure such Restricted Payment Test Failure in accordance with the definition of “Restricted Payment Test Cure.”

The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower may rescind any such notice not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day before such termination was scheduled to take place if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of the Commitments, which refinancing will not be consummated or will otherwise be delayed.

The Commitment Fee shall accrue from and including the Closing Date to and including the last day of the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date (and shall be calculated on the related Determination Date), commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. The Commitment Fee shall be calculated monthly in arrears and if there is any change in the Commitment Fee Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Commitment Fee Rate separately for each period during such month that such Commitment Fee Rate was in effect.

(b) Make-Whole Fee. Subject to Section 2.12(a)(iii), if the Aggregate Commitments are terminated in whole or in part pursuant to Section 2.04 prior to the nine (9) month anniversary of the Closing Date, then the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a fee (a “Make-Whole Fee”) equal to the amount in Dollars of the product of (i) the portion of the Aggregate Commitments terminated thereof multiplied by (ii) 0.50%; provided that no Make-Whole Fee shall be due and payable in the event of a termination in connection with (A) any Lender invoking the illegality provision of Section 3.02, (B) the relevant interest rate being replaced with an alternative interest rate that is not Daily SOFR or Term SOFR pursuant to Section 3.03(b) without consent of the Borrower, (C) the relevant interest rate shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.03(a) for greater than ten Business Days without consent of the Borrower, (D) the inability of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to determine an alternative interest rate pursuant to Section 3.03(b), (E) the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.06, (F) the occurrence of a CLO Takeout, (G) any Lender or Affected Person makes any claim for increased costs or reserves pursuant to Section 3.04, (H) the removal of the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 14 of the Collateral Management Agreement or (I) solely with respect to such Defaulting Lender, any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender.

(i) The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter (the “Agent Fees”). Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders, in Dollars, such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified (collectively, the “Lender Fees”). Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

-43-

2.08 Computation of Interest and Fees.

All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to Term SOFR) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest, including those with respect to Term SOFR Loans, shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.10(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.09 Evidence of Debt.

The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business in accordance with its usual practice. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans to the Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

2.10 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. All payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall in each case be deemed received on the next following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that this sentence shall not apply to payments made on the Maturity Date without giving effect to the proviso in the definition of such term.

-44-

(b) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(i) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

-45-

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to the Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.11 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

-46-

2.12 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. 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) Waivers and Amendments. Such 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 the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 10.01.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or is continuing, 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 such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such 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 Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. 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 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.07(a) or 2.07(b) 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.

-47-

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages, whereupon such 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.

2.13 Distributions.

(a) On each Payment Date, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall distribute from the Collection Account, in accordance with the Payment Date Report for such Payment Date prepared by the Collateral Agent and approved by the Collateral Manager and the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.04(b), the portion of the Amount Available consisting of Interest Proceeds for such Payment Date in the following order of priority:

2.14 Discretionary Sales.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right to sell all or a portion (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to participation agreements or other agreements to effectuate assignments following an initial transfer of a participation interest or other portion of a Collateral Asset) of the Collateral Assets (each, a “Discretionary Sale”), subject to the following terms and conditions (unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent), provided that, immediately after giving effect to such Discretionary Sale:

(i) no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would occur as a result of such Discretionary Sale; provided that the Borrower may sell Collateral Assets as necessary to facilitate a cure of a Borrowing Base Deficiency (and any Default arising therefrom) in accordance with Section 2.03(b);

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, provided that the Borrower may sell Collateral Assets as necessary in accordance with Section 2.03(b);

-51-

(iv) such Discretionary Sale shall reflect arm’s length market terms and be in a transaction in which the Borrower makes no representations, warranties or covenants and provides no indemnification for the benefit of any other party (other than those which are customarily made or provided in connection with the sale of assets of such type); and

(v) on the date of such Discretionary Sale, all proceeds from such Discretionary Sale (x) will be deposited directly into the Collection Account and (y) with respect to any sold Collateral Asset, will be in Dollars.

(b) In connection with any Discretionary Sale, following deposit of all proceeds from such Discretionary Sale into the Principal Proceeds Account, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to release and transfer to the Borrower all of the right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in, to and under such Collateral Asset(s) and related Collateral subject to such Discretionary Sale and such portion of the Collateral so transferred shall be released from the Lien of the Security Agreement.

(c) In connection with any Discretionary Sale, the Administrative Agent shall, at the sole expense of the Borrower, execute such instruments of release with respect to the portion of the Collateral subject to such Discretionary Sale to the Borrower, in recordable form if necessary, as the Borrower may reasonably request.

(c) If the Borrower shall receive any Principal Proceeds from an obligor with respect to a Delayed Draw Asset following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or following the end of the Availability Period and, as of the date of such receipt (and after taking into account such repayment), the aggregate amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the aggregate Required Funding Amount with respect to all Loans included in the Collateral (the amount of such shortfall, in each case, the “Unfunded Exposure Shortfall”), the Collateral Agent shall deposit into the Unfunded Exposure Account an amount of such Principal Proceeds designated by the Borrower equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of such Principal Proceeds and (ii) the Unfunded Exposure Shortfall.

-52-

2.16 Reinvestments. During the Availability Period, the Borrower may withdraw from the Collection Account any Principal Proceeds and apply such Principal Proceeds to (a) prepay the Total Outstandings in accordance with Section 2.03 or (b) acquire additional Collateral Assets (each such reinvestment of Principal Proceeds, a “Reinvestment”), so long as each condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied.

2.17 CLO Takeouts. (a) On any Business Day, the Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or a portion of the Loans then outstanding and require the Administrative Agent to release its security interest and Lien on the related Collateral Assets and Related Security in connection with a CLO Takeout (which may be effected by way of a distribution or otherwise), subject to the following terms and conditions (unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent):

(i) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) of its intent to effect a CLO Takeout and shall provide the Administrative Agent with all information reasonably required by it to release the related Lien;

(ii) the Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an updated Borrowing Base, together with evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that the Borrower shall have sufficient funds on the date of the CLO Takeout to effect such CLO Takeout in accordance with this Agreement, which funds may come from the proceeds of sales of the Collateral Assets and Related Securities in connection with such CLO Takeout;

(iii) on the date of the CLO Takeout, the Borrower shall provide a certificate to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent representing that, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such CLO Takeout, (A) there will be sufficient proceeds in the Collection Account for all payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement on the next Payment Date (or on such date, if such date of the CLO Takeout is a Payment Date), (B) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (C) no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists;

(iv) on the date of such CLO Takeout, all proceeds payable to the Borrower from such CLO Takeout (net of reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such CLO Takeout) will be deposited directly into the Collection Account and (B) with respect to any sold Collateral Asset, will be in the currency in which such Collateral Asset is denominated; and

(v) the representations and warranties contained in Article V hereof shall be correct in all respects, except to the extent relating to an earlier date, after giving effect to such release; and

(vi) the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such CLO Takeout.

(c) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay the reasonable and documented outside counsel legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses of one counsel in each of the applicable states of the United States for each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Securities Intermediary in connection with any CLO Takeout (including, but not limited to, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the release of the Lien of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral in connection with such CLO Takeout).

(d) In connection with any CLO Takeout, the Administrative Agent shall, at the sole expense of the Borrower, execute such instruments of release with respect to the portion of the Collateral subject to such CLO Takeout to the Borrower, in recordable form if necessary, as the Borrower may reasonably request.

ARTICLE III.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Laws. If any Applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, then (A) the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to withhold or make such deductions as are reasonably determined by the withholding agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Laws, and (B) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

-54-

(i) The Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Recipient within 10 days after written 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 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, 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 Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (y) against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, 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 Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (i).

(d) Evidence of Payments. After any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or the taxing authorities of a jurisdiction pursuant to such Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by the

-55-

Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient 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 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (B) or (D)) shall not be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) 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 Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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 Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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;

(II) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(III) 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 substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the Borrower Parent within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower’s sole owner as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, 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 substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies 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 or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient 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 Recipient shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative 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 or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

-57-

(iii) Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(iv) Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date a copy of an executed IRS Form W-9 of its sole owner. If such form becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, or if a successor version of such form or certification is published, Borrower shall update such form or promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Recipient 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 by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

3.02 Illegality.

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to engage in reverse repurchase of U.S. Treasury securities transactions of the type included in the determination of SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or maintain SOFR Loans, to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans or convert Intra-Period SOFR Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be, in each case, suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the

-58-

illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay all SOFR Loans, in the affected currency or currencies or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all SOFR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the SOFR component of the Base Rate), in each case, immediately and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and any amounts due pursuant to Section 3.05.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates; Availability of Term SOFR.

(a) If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion of Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate for SOFR has been determined in accordance with Section 3.03(b) and the circumstances under Section 3.03(b)(i) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred with respect to SOFR (as applicable), or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining SOFR for Dollars for any determination date(s) or Interest Period, as applicable, with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason that SOFR with respect to a proposed Loan for any requested Interest Period or determination date(s) does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended in each case to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of this Section 3.03(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to Term SOFR Loans to the extent of the Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (ii) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately.

-59-

(b) Replacement of SOFR or Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) the Applicable Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans denominated in Dollars, or shall or will otherwise cease; provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that will continue to provide such representative tenor(s) of SOFR for Dollars (the latest date on which one month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate) are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

(iii) syndicated loans currently being executed and agented in the U.S., are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace SOFR for Dollars;

or if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 3.03(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) have occurred with respect to SOFR or any Successor Rate then in effect, then (x) with respect to a replacement of Term SOFR and if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily SOFR is available and the Borrower provides consent to replace Term SOFR with Daily SOFR, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily SOFR for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) otherwise, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 3.03 with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in Dollars for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in Dollars for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time

-60-

in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a “Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than 0%, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be 0% for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

3.04 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (other than as set forth below);

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) 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; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Term SOFR Loans made by such Lender or participation therein;

-61-

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender (such Lender, an “Affected Person”), 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) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, 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, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans 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), then from time to time, upon written request of such Lender, 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.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof (or thereafter as may be agreed by the Lender).

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 3.01 and this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered 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 (except 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).

3.05 Compensation for Losses.

Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any actually incurred loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or an Intra-Period SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower or the Borrower unless such notice is rescinded in accordance with the terms hereof; or

-62-

(c) any assignment of a Term SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;

including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. Each Lender may make any Loan to the Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at the request of the Borrower such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

3.07 Survival.

All obligations of the Borrower under this Article III shall survive the Payment in Full of the Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(a) declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated;

(b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;

(c) deliver a notice of exclusive control in relation to the Collection Account and the Unfunded Exposure Account and give instructions to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian and the Securities Intermediary in relation thereto under the provisions of the Security Agreement, and may (in addition to all other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and/or of a secured party under the UCC and other legal or equitable remedies), realize upon the Collateral, and/or may immediately sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof, subject to, and in accordance with the terms of the Security Agreement; and

(d) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents;

-83-

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Borrower, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

8.03 Purchase Rights.

Upon the declaration that the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document be immediately due and payable (or the occurrence thereof), the Borrower, or any Affiliate of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or any funds, accounts or vehicles managed by the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates (such parties collectively in such capacity, the “Purchasing Parties”) may purchase the Collateral, in whole but not in part, (a) at a purchase price determined by the Borrower but in any event not less than the sum of (i) the amount of the Obligations outstanding plus (ii) all other amounts owing or payable to the Secured Parties by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document and (b) by paying or, in the case of the Collateral Manager, causing the Borrower to pay, such amount to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties using the proceeds from such purchase not later than 4:00 p.m. on the date that is three Business Days (or, if the Capital Contribution Condition is satisfied, on the date that is five (5) Business Days) following the declaration or automatic occurrence of the acceleration of the Loans (or such later deadline as the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may agree with the Borrower); provided that the Collateral Manager or Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of its intent to pay such amounts (including by delivering a Capital Contribution Notice) no later than 4:00 p.m. on the first Business Day following the declaration or automatic occurrence of the acceleration of the Loans (or such later deadline as the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may agree with the Borrower), and thereafter the Purchasing Parties’ right of first refusal shall terminate.

As used herein, the term “Capital Contribution Condition” shall mean a condition that is deemed satisfied upon delivery of a Capital Contribution Notice within the timeframe described in the proviso to the above paragraph but only if either (x) an Event of Default under Section 8.01(b) has not occurred and is continuing or (y) an Event of Default under Section 8.01(b) has occurred and is continuing, but no Capital Contribution Notice has been delivered pursuant to Section 2.03(b) with respect to the related Borrowing Base Deficiency which triggered such Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, a Capital Contribution Notice delivered in connection with a different Borrowing Base Deficiency (that was either cured or which was otherwise not the cause of the continuing Event of Default at issue) shall not qualify as a Capital Contribution Notice delivered under clause (y) above.

ARTICLE IX.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.01 Appointment and Authority.

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Borrower shall have no rights as third party beneficiary of any such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

9.02 Rights as a Lender.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents or those rights and powers that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;

-85-

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity

(d) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender;

(e) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Loan Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; and

(f) shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender.

9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

-86-

9.05 Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, if no Event of Default exists or is continuing upon the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and if an Event of Default exists and is continuing in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which at all times shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

-87-

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 3.01(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.08 No Other Duties, Etc.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Arranger listed on the cover page hereof shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

-88-

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, provisional liquidator, restructuring officer, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which the Borrower is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any Applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this

-89-

Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (a) through (f) of Section 10.01 of this Agreement), (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

9.10 Collateral Matters.

Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.09, the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and Payment in Full of the Obligations, (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; and

(b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 9.10.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by the Borrower in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

-90-

9.11 Indemnification.

The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager under the Loan Documents, and without limiting the obligation of such Persons to do so in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents), ratably according to the Outstanding Amounts of their Loans from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent or the affected Person in connection with any investigative, or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Administrative Agent or such affected Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such affected Person as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under the Loan Documents or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith.

9.12 Recovery of Erroneous Payments.

Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by the Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon sending, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii), if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice, email or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

The Bank (in each capacity under the Loan Documents) shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall provide to the Bank an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, elects to give the Bank Instructions using Electronic Means and the Bank in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Bank’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent understand and agree that if the Bank cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions, the Bank shall confirm the identity of the actual sender and the correct Instructions with the Borrower or Administrative Agent, as applicable. If the Bank receives Instructions which conflict with or are inconsistent with a previous or subsequent written directions, the Bank shall confirm such Instructions with the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree: (i) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Bank and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable; (ii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iii) to notify the Bank immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

(c) The Platform. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (i) the Administrative Agent and/or the Arranger may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on DebtDomain, IntraLinks, Syndtrak or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (ii) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that (A) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (B) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.07); (C) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (D) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.”

-94-

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through the platform, any other electronic platform or messaging service, or through the Internet.

Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and Applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities Laws.

(d) Effectiveness of Electronic Mail Documents. Loan Documents may be transmitted by electronic mail. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to Applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any electronic mail document or signature.

(e) Change of Address, Etc. The Borrower, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Administrative Agent may change its address, electronic mail address or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, electronic mail address or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.

-95-

(f) Reliance by Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and Lenders. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic or electronic Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement.

No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrower shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a)(i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or (ii) the Bank from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that insure to its benefit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.11), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.11, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian and each Lender and their respective Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian or any Lender), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. Notwithstanding and in addition to the foregoing, the Borrower shall bear the costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent for all audits and inspections permitted by Section 6.10 and Section 11.05, subject to a maximum of $100,000 per annum of such costs and expenses in the aggregate, and any additional audits, inspections, costs or expenses in excess of $100,000 per annum shall be for the account of the Administrative Agent; provided that during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall be required to bear the expense of all such inspections and audits.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all costs, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) (all of the foregoing being collectively called “Indemnified Amounts”) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrower) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary and their respective Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including without limitation any such claim, litigation or proceeding arising from any sale or distribution of securities by the Borrower or Borrower Parent), whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(c), this Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

-97-

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any Related Party of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Aggregate Commitments at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), such payment to be made severally among them based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), provided further that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(d).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after written demand therefor.

(f) Sufficiency of Remedies. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (i) any and all claims, damages and demands against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of, or in connection with, the exercise by such Person of any of such Person’s rights or remedies under the Facility can be sufficiently and adequately remedied by monetary damages, (ii) no irreparable injury will be caused to the Borrower, the Borrower Parent or the Collateral Manager as a result of, or in connection with, any such claims, damages or demands, and (iii) no equitable or injunctive relief shall be sought by the Borrower, the Borrower Parent or the Collateral Manager as a result of, or in connection with, any such claims, damages or demands.

-98-

(g) Survival. The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provisions of Section 10.02(f) shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the Payment in Full of the Obligations.

10.05 Payments Set Aside.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent, or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the Payment in Full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

-99-

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption (the “Trade Date”), as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000.00 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition, (A) the consent of the Borrower will be required for the syndication or assignment by any Lender of all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, unless (1) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such syndication or assignment or (2) such syndication or assignment is to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; provided that (x) the Borrower will be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it objects thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) Business Days after notice thereof and (y) the consent of the Borrower shall not be required upon the determination by a Lender that its ownership of any of its rights or obligations hereunder is prohibited by Applicable Law (including, without limitation, the Volcker Rule); and (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; provided that, in each case, the Lender shall provide prior written notice of any such assignment to the Borrower, with a copy to the Collateral Agent and Dechert LLP.

-100-

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B) or (C) to a natural Person (any such Person described in clause (A), (B) or (C), a “Disqualified Lender”).

(vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

-101-

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a Disqualified Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) prior notice and the identity of such Participant shall have been given to the Borrower; (ii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the written consent of the Borrower and the Collateral Manager shall be required for any participation sold to a Competitor. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participation.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 10.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or 3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent that such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender.

-102-

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f) Status as an Approved Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, each Lender hereunder, and each Participant, must at all times be an Approved Lender. Accordingly:

(i) each Lender represents to the Borrower, (A) on the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (whether by being a signatory hereto or by entering into an Assignment and Assumption) and (B) on each date on which it makes a Loan hereunder, that it is an Approved Lender;

(ii) each Lender agrees that it shall not assign, or grant any participations in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any Person unless such Person is an Approved Lender; and

(iii) the Borrower agrees that, to the extent it has the right to consent to any assignment or participation herein, it shall not consent to such assignment or participation hereunder unless it reasonably believes that the assignee or participant is an Approved Lender at the time of such assignment or participation and that such assignment or participation will not cause the Borrower or the pool of Collateral to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

(g) Ratings. The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Lenders in connection with obtaining any rating for the Facility from a rating agency.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any Participant agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and such Person agrees to keep such Information confidential, and the applicable Lender or Administrative Agent shall be responsible for any breach by any such Affiliate or Related Party of the confidentiality provisions contained herein), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process with prior written notice to the Borrower, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 10.01, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the written consent (including via email) of the Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. In addition, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits any individual from communicating or disclosing information regarding suspected violations of law, rules, or regulations to a (x) governmental or regulatory authority without any notification to any person or (y) to any self-regulatory authority, provided that the related Person shall be notified of such disclosure or communication.

-104-

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

10.08 Right of Setoff.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Secured Party or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Secured Party or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Secured Party different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Secured Party and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Secured Party or its Affiliates may have. Each Secured Party agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.09 Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

-105-

10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by email or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tiff”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Payment in Full of the Obligations.

10.12 Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

10.13 Replacement of Lenders.

If the Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

-106-

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) to the extent required by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.06(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the Outstanding Amount of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such Outstanding Amount and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws.

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.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

10.18 USA PATRIOT Act.

Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) and the Collateral Custodian and the Collateral Agent hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Agent, or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

10.19 Compliance with Laws.

Borrower acknowledges that Bank of America’s obligations hereunder shall be subject to all Applicable Laws and, without limitation, the Loan Documents shall not limit the ability of Bank of America to take any actions that it determines, in the exercise of its sole discretion, to be necessary or advisable to comply fully and prudently with any Law, including without limitation any regulatory margin requirement.

10.20 Non-Recourse Obligations; No Petition. (a) Each Lender and the Administrative Agent covenants and agrees that the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement are from time to time and at any time limited recourse obligations of the Borrower, payable solely from the Collateral available at such time in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and, following realization of the Collateral, any claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and all obligations of the Borrower shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.20(a) shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by this Agreement until the Collateral has been realized, whereupon any outstanding indebtedness or obligation shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral shall not include “Excluded Property” as such term is defined in the Security Agreement.

(b) Each of the parties hereto (other than the Borrower) covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day (or, if longer, any applicable preference period and one day) after the Payment in Full of the Obligations and the payment in full of any securities issued by the Borrower in connection with a CLO Takeout, no party hereto shall institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Borrower any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, winding up or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceedings under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or similar law.

10.21 Time of the Essence.

Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

10.22 Judgment Currency.

If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under Applicable Law).

10.23 Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs.

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

-111-

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 10.23, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

(a) The Collateral Custodian, as the duly appointed agent of the Secured Parties, shall take and retain custody of the Collateral Asset Files delivered to it by, or on behalf of, the Borrower for each Collateral Asset listed on the Collateral Asset Schedule. The Collateral Custodian acknowledges that in connection with any Reinvestment or Borrowing, additional Collateral Asset Files (specified on the applicable Collateral Asset Schedule or supplement to the Collateral Asset Schedule) may be delivered to the Collateral Custodian from time to time. Promptly upon the receipt of any such delivery of Collateral Asset Files and without any review, the Collateral Custodian shall send notice of such receipt to the Collateral Manager, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(b) With respect to each Collateral Asset File which has been or will be delivered to the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Custodian shall act exclusively as the custodian of the Secured Parties, and has no instructions to hold any Collateral Asset File for the benefit of any Person other than the Secured Parties and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In so taking and retaining custody of the Collateral Asset Files, the Collateral Custodian shall be deemed to be acting for the purpose of perfecting the Secured Parties’ security interest therein under the UCC. Except as provided herein, no Collateral Asset File or other document constituting a part of a Collateral Asset File shall be released from the possession of the Collateral Custodian.

(c) The Collateral Custodian shall maintain continuous custody of all Collateral Asset Files (other than electronically delivered documents) in its possession in secure facilities in accordance with customary standards for such custody and shall reflect in its records the interest of the Secured Parties therein. Each Collateral Asset File which comes into the possession of the Collateral Custodian (other than documents delivered electronically) shall be maintained in fire resistant vaults or cabinets at the address of the Collateral Custodian located at The Depository Trust Company, 570 Washington Blvd – 5^th Floor, Jersey City, NJ 07310, Attn: BNY Mellon/Branch Deposit Department. Each Collateral Asset File shall be marked with an appropriate identifying label and maintained in such manner so as to permit retrieval and access by the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Custodian shall keep the Collateral Asset Files clearly segregated from any other documents or instruments in its files.

(d) With respect to the documents comprising each Collateral Asset File, the Collateral Custodian shall (i) act exclusively as Collateral Custodian for the Secured Parties, (ii) hold all documents constituting such Collateral Asset File received by it for the exclusive use and benefit of the Secured Parties and (iii) make disposition thereof only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or with written instructions furnished by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (given at the instruction of the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders); provided that in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the written instructions of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

The Collateral Custodian shall, to the extent permitted by Law, continue to hold and maintain all the Collateral Asset Files that are the subject of such proceedings pending a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction permitting or directing disposition thereof. Upon final determination of such court, the Collateral Custodian shall dispose of such Collateral Asset File or a document included within such Collateral Asset File as directed by the Administrative Agent, which shall give a direction consistent with such determination. Expenses of the Collateral Custodian incurred as a result of such proceedings shall be borne by the Borrower.

(g) With respect to actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Collateral Custodian hereunder, the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Administrative Agent; provided that the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to take any action hereunder at the request of the Administrative Agent, any Secured Parties or otherwise if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Custodian, (x) shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provisions of this Agreement or (y) shall expose the Collateral Custodian to liability hereunder or otherwise (unless it has received indemnity which it reasonably deems to be satisfactory with respect thereto). In the event the Collateral Custodian requests the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such request, then the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have declined to consent to the relevant action.

(h) The Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the request or direction of any Secured Party, to the extent that this Agreement provides such Secured Party the right to so direct the Collateral Custodian, or the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter hereunder, including an Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Custodian has actual knowledge of such matter or written notice thereof is received by the Collateral Custodian.

-114-

11.03 Collateral Asset File Review.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Custodian’s obligation to review the Collateral Asset Files, if such review is requested, shall be limited to reviewing such Collateral Asset Files based on the information provided on the Document Checklist. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary herein, the Collateral Custodian shall make no representations as to, and shall not be responsible to verify, (i) the validity, legality, ownership, title, perfection, priority, enforceability, due authorization, recordability, sufficiency for any purpose, or genuineness of any of the documents contained in each Collateral Asset File or (ii) the collectability, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any such Collateral Asset.

In the event a Default, an Event of Default, an Unmatured Collateral Manager Termination Event or a Collateral Manager Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Manager shall not make any such request with respect to any original documents unless the Administrative Agent shall have consented in writing thereto (which consent may be evidenced by an executed counterpart to such request). The Collateral Manager shall return each and every original document previously requested from the Collateral Asset File to the Collateral Custodian when the need therefor by the Collateral Manager no longer exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Collateral Asset File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Related Security either judicially or non-judicially, the Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Collateral Custodian a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Collateral Asset File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of the Collateral Manager substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, stating that such Collateral Asset was either (x) liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited have been so deposited, or (y) sold pursuant to Section 2.14, the Collateral Custodian shall within three (3) Business Days (provided that the Collateral Custodian has received such request by 12:00 p.m.) after receipt of a Request for Release and Receipt, release the requested Collateral Asset File, and the Collateral Manager will not be required to return the related Collateral Asset File to the Collateral Custodian.

(c) The Collateral Manager may hold, and hereby acknowledges that it shall hold, any documents and all other property included in the Collateral that it may from time to time receive hereunder as custodian for the Secured Parties solely at the will of the Collateral Custodian and the Secured Parties for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Collateral Assets and such retention and possession shall be in a custodial capacity only. To the extent the Collateral Manager, as agent of the Collateral Custodian and the Borrower, holds any Collateral, the Collateral Manager shall do so in accordance with the Collateral Manager Standard as such standard applies to collateral managers acting as custodial agent. The Collateral Manager shall promptly report to the Collateral Custodian and the Administrative Agent the loss by it of all or part of any Collateral Asset File previously provided to it by the Collateral Custodian and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such loss.

In such custodial capacity, the Collateral Manager shall have and perform the following powers and duties:

(i) hold the Collateral Asset Files and any document comprising a Collateral Asset File that it may from time to time have in its possession for the benefit of the Collateral Custodian, on behalf of the Secured Parties, maintain accurate records pertaining to each Collateral Asset to enable it to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and maintain a current inventory thereof;

(ii) implement policies and procedures consistent with the Collateral Manager Standard and requirements of this Agreement so that the integrity and physical possession of such Collateral Asset Files will be maintained; and

(iii) take all other actions, in accordance with the Collateral Manager Standard, in connection with maintaining custody of such Collateral Asset Files on behalf of the Administrative Agent.

Acting as custodian of the Collateral Asset Files pursuant to this Section 11.04(c), the Collateral Manager agrees that it does not and will not have or assert any beneficial ownership interest in the Collateral Assets or the Collateral Asset Files.

11.05 Examination of Collateral Asset Files.

Upon reasonable prior notice to the Collateral Custodian, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and their agents, accountants, attorneys and auditors will be permitted during normal business hours to examine and make copies of the Collateral Asset Files, documents, records and other papers in the possession of or under the control of the Collateral Custodian relating to any or all of the Collateral Assets. Prior to the occurrence of a Default, an Event of Default, an Unmatured Collateral Manager Termination Event or a Collateral Manager Termination Event, upon the request of the Administrative Agent and at the cost and expense of the Borrower, the Collateral Custodian shall promptly provide the Administrative Agent with the Collateral Asset Files or copies, as designated by the Administrative Agent, subject to any cap on costs and expenses and other terms and conditions set forth in the Collateral Management Agreement; provided that the Collateral Custodian shall not be required to provide such copies if it does not receive adequate assurance of payment.

11.06 Lost Note Affidavit.

In the event that the Collateral Custodian fails to produce any original promissory note delivered to it related to a Collateral Asset that was in its possession pursuant to Section 6.18 within five (5) Business Days after required or requested by the Administrative Agent (so long as (x) the Collateral Custodian previously certified in writing to the Administrative Agent that it had received such original promissory note and (y) such original promissory note has not been released pursuant to a Request for Release and Receipt), the Collateral Custodian shall with respect to any missing original promissory note, promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent upon request a lost note affidavit.

The Collateral Manager shall arrange for the provision of such services at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense (or, at the Collateral Custodian’s option, reimburse the Collateral Custodian for all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Custodian consistent with such instructions) and shall maintain such insurance against loss or damage to the Collateral Asset Files as the Collateral Manager deems appropriate.

11.08 Merger or Consolidation.

Any Person (i) into which the Collateral Custodian may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Custodian shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to all or substantially all of the collateral custody business of the Collateral Custodian, shall be the successor to the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.

Promptly after giving notice of removal of the Collateral Custodian, the Administrative Agent shall appoint, or the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Custodian may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Collateral Custodian, which such successor Collateral Custodian, so long as no Collateral Manager Termination Event or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Manager.

(d) The Collateral Custodian makes no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Collateral, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity or value of any of the Collateral.

(g) It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Collateral Custodian is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Collateral.

(h) In case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Custodian may, prior to the occurrence of the Maturity Date or absent the continuance of an Event of Default, request instructions from the Collateral Manager and may, after the occurrence of the Maturity Date or during the continuance of an Event of Default, request instructions from the

-119-

Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Collateral Manager or the Administrative Agent, as applicable.

(i) In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Custodian may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any request, instruction, certificate, opinion or other document or electronic communication furnished to the Collateral Custodian, reasonably believed by the Collateral Custodian to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; but in the case of a request, instruction, document, certificate, opinion or other document or electronic communication which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be furnished to the Collateral Custodian, the Collateral Custodian shall be under a duty to examine the same in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement to determine that they conform on their face to the form required by such provision. For avoidance of doubt, Collateral Custodian may rely conclusively on certificates of a Responsible Officer delivered by the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the discretion or powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed hereunder, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action.

(k) The Collateral Custodian shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any certificate, notice, instruction, statement, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report or other document or electronic communication; provided, however, that if the form thereof is prescribed by this Agreement, the Collateral Custodian shall examine the same to determine whether it conforms on its face to the requirements hereof. It is expressly acknowledged by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Administrative Agent that application and performance by the Collateral Custodian of its various duties hereunder (including, without limitation, 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 Administrative Agent, the Borrower and/or any related bank agent, obligor or similar party with respect to the Collateral Asset, and the Collateral Custodian shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of any such information or data provided to it by such persons and shall be entitled to

-120-

update its records (as it may deem necessary or appropriate). Nothing herein shall impose or imply any duty or obligation on the part of the Collateral Custodian to verify, investigate or audit any such information or data, or to determine or monitor on an independent basis whether any issuer of the Collateral is in default or in compliance with the underlying documents governing or securing such securities, from time to time.

(l) Neither the Collateral Custodian nor any of its affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees will be liable to the Collateral Manager, Borrower or any other Person, except by reason of acts or omissions by the Collateral Custodian constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Collateral Custodian’s duties hereunder.

Subject to Section 12.04(c) and (d), each item in the Daily Report shall be reported by the Collateral Agent, based upon the Eligible Collateral Asset Information provided to it by the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, upon which the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely. Following the delivery by the Collateral Agent to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager of the Daily Report, the Collateral Manager shall review, verify and approve the contents of the Daily Report and to the extent any of the information in such reports, instructions, statements and certificates conflicts with data or calculations in the records of the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager shall notify the Collateral Agent of such discrepancy and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Collateral Agent in reconciling such discrepancy.

If any party receiving any Payment Date Report disagrees with any items of such report, it shall contact the Collateral Agent and notify it of such disputed item and provide reasonably sufficient information to correct such item, with (if other than the Administrative Agent) a copy of such notice and information to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Manager. Unless the Collateral Agent is otherwise timely directed by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent shall distribute a revised Payment Date Report on the Business Day after it receives such information. If the Collateral Agent is directed by the Administrative Agent that the Collateral Agent should not make such correction, the Collateral Agent shall (within one Business Day) contact the Administrative Agent and request instructions on how to proceed. The Administrative Agent’s reasonable determination with regard to any disputed item in the Payment Date Report shall be final.

(c) The Collateral Manager shall cooperate with the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation of the Collateral Reports and any supplement thereto.

In the case of a Collateral Dispute Notice delivered by the Collateral Manager, the corrected information shall not control for any purpose under this Agreement until such time as the Administrative Agent agrees in writing that it does.

12.05 Merger or Consolidation.

Any Person (i) into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Collateral Agent, shall be the successor to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement.

The Collateral Agent’s fees shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed during the related Interest Period and shall be based on the par amount of the Aggregate Principal Balance of all Collateral Assets, in each case measured as of the first day of such Interest Period relating to each Payment Date.

(a) The Collateral Agent may at any time resign and terminate its obligations under this Agreement upon at least 60 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Manager, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender; provided that no resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent will be permitted unless a successor Collateral Agent that meets the eligibility requirements in Section 12.09 has been appointed which successor Collateral Agent, so long as no Collateral Manager Termination Event or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Manager. Promptly after receipt of notice of the Collateral Agent’s resignation, the Administrative Agent shall promptly appoint a successor Collateral Agent by written instrument, in duplicate, copies of which instrument shall be delivered to the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the resigning Collateral Agent and to the successor Collateral Agent.

Promptly after giving notice of removal of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent shall appoint, or the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Collateral Agent that, so long as no Collateral Manager Termination Event or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, is reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Manager. Any such appointment shall be accomplished by written instrument and one original counterpart of such instrument of appointment shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent and the successor Collateral Agent, with a copy delivered to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager.

-126-

(c) Notwithstanding Section 12.07(b), if the Collateral Agent fails to comply with Section 12.09, any Lender may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Collateral Agent and the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.

12.08 Limitations on Liability. (a) The Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, telegram or other document or electronic communication delivered to it and that in good faith it reasonably believes to be genuine and that has been signed by the proper party or parties. The Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on and shall be fully protected in acting upon (a) the written instructions of any designated officer of the Administrative Agent or any other party to the extent authorized to direct the Collateral Agent hereunder or (b) the verbal instructions of the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Collateral Agent may consult counsel satisfactory to it and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(c) 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 bad faith, willful misconduct or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.

(d) The Collateral Agent makes no warranty or representation and shall have no responsibility (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) as to the content, enforceability, completeness, validity, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Collateral, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity or value of any of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to take any action that might in its judgment involve any expense or liability unless it has been furnished with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. 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 (other than any possession of possessory collateral) of any security interest granted to any party hereunder or otherwise or (iv) the validity or perfection (other than any possession of possessory collateral) of any such lien or security interest.

(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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, except as expressly set forth herein, shall have no obligation to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the performance of the Collateral Manager or the Borrower, shall not be responsible for any action or omission of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Manager, the Borrower or any Lender and, absent written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent, shall be entitled to assume that such person is in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement or any other document related to this transaction.

-127-

(f) The Collateral Agent and its respective affiliates, directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any Borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV; (iv) the terms, validity, or enforcement of the Security Agreement; or (v) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. Without prejudice to the Collateral Agent’s duties under this Article XII or any other provision of any Loan Document, the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to take any action to collect from any obligor any amount payable by such obligor on any Collateral under any circumstances, including if payment is refused after due demand.

(g) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds in the performance of its duties hereunder. 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, government action (including any laws, ordinances, regulations) or the like that delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of services by the Collateral Agent as contemplated by this Agreement.

(h) It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Collateral Agent is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Collateral.

(i) In case any reasonable question arises as to its duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent may, prior to the occurrence of the Maturity Date or absent the continuance of an Event of Default, request instructions from the Collateral Manager and may, after the occurrence of the Maturity Date or during the continuance of an Event of Default, request instructions from the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled at all times to refrain from taking any action unless it has received instructions from the Collateral Manager or the Administrative Agent, 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 Administrative Agent. 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), even if the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(j) In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any request, instruction, certificate, opinion or other document or electronic communication furnished to the Collateral Agent, reasonably believed by the Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; but in the case of a request, instruction,

-128-

document, certificate, opinion or other document or electronic communication which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be furnished to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall be under a duty to examine the same in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement to determine that they conform on their face to the form required by such provision. For avoidance of doubt, Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on certificates of a Responsible Officer delivered by the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the discretion or powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed hereunder, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action.

(k) The Collateral Agent shall (i) not have any obligation to determine if a Collateral Asset meets the criteria specified in the definition of Eligible Collateral Asset, (ii) have no discretion to select or make investments but shall be entitled to solely rely upon the investment directions of the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) and (iii) have no duty or liability to independently confirm or determine whether any investment made hereunder qualifies as a Cash Equivalent.

(l) In the event that the Collateral Custodian is not the same entity as the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of the Collateral Custodian under this Agreement and shall not be required to monitor the performance of the Collateral Custodian.

(m) Without limiting the generality of any terms of this Section 12.08, the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent 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, delay or error in the performance or observance on the Collateral Agent’s 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.

(n) The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any certificate, report or other document or electronic communication; provided, however, that, if the form thereof is prescribed by this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall examine the same to determine whether it conforms on its face to the requirements hereof. It is expressly acknowledged by the Borrower, the Collateral Manager and the Administrative Agent that application and performance by the Collateral Agent of its various duties hereunder (including, without limitation, 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 Administrative Agent, the Borrower and/or any related bank agent, obligor or similar party with respect to the Collateral Asset, 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). Nothing herein shall impose or imply any duty or obligation on the part of the Collateral Agent to verify, investigate or audit any such information or data, or to determine or monitor on an independent basis whether any issuer of the Collateral is in default or in compliance with the underlying

-129-

documents governing or securing such securities, from time to time.

It is hereby expressly agreed that Bloomberg Financial Markets is one such reputable service.

(o) The Collateral Agent may exercise any of its rights or powers hereunder (or under any other Loan Document) or perform any of its duties hereunder either directly or, by or through agents or attorneys, and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any actions or omissions on the part of any agent or attorney appointed hereunder with due care by it. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees will be liable to the Collateral Manager, Borrower or any other Person, except by reason of acts or omissions by the Collateral Agent constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Collateral Agent’s duties hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall in no event have any liability for the actions or omissions of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in any duty performed by it that results from or is caused by inaccurate, untimely or incomplete information or data received by it from the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent or another Person except to the extent that such inaccuracies or errors are caused by the Collateral Agent’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence of its duties hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for failing to perform or delay in performing its specified duties hereunder which results from or is caused by a failure or delay on the part of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent or another Person in furnishing necessary, timely and accurate information to the Collateral Agent.

(p) The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of SOFR, or Daily SOFR (or any other Interest Rate, Base Rate, Prime Rate or other applicable rate), or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any transition, replacement or other disruption event or date relating to SOFR or Daily SOFR, (ii) to select, determine or designate any Interest Rate, Base Rate, Prime Rate or other alternate reference rate, or other successor or replacement rate, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, or (iii) to select, determine or designate any spread adjustment or other modifier to any Interest Rate, Base Rate, Prime Rate or other replacement or successor rate or index, or (iv) to determine whether or what amendments or changes (including any Conforming Changes) are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing.

(q) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as a result of the unavailability of SOFR (or any other Interest Rate, Base Rate, Prime Rate or other applicable rate) and the absence of any Interest Rate, Base Rate, Prime Rate or other replacement index or floating rate, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party, including without limitation the Administrative Agent, in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and reasonably required for the performance of such duties.

-130-

(r) The delivery of reports, and other documents and information to the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan 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. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. Whether or not expressly stated in such Loan Documents, in performing (or refraining from acting) thereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights, benefits, protections, immunities and indemnities which are afforded to it in this Agreement.

(s) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender or the Administrative Agent originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Collateral Agent from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document except (1) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any Loan Document and (2) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of the Collateral Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

(t) All of the Collateral Agent’s rights, benefits, protections, indemnities and immunities afforded to the Collateral Agent hereunder shall also be afforded to the Bank acting in any capacity for any actions taken or omitted to be taken under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such rights, benefits, protections, indemnities and immunities shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any rights, benefits, protections, indemnities and immunities provided in any other Loan Document to which the Bank in such capacity is a party.

The Assigned Value of all Eligible Collateral Assets for which the obligors are domiciled in Canada may not exceed 15% of the Aggregate Assigned Value;

As of any date of determination, if the Eligible Collateral Assets, taken as a whole, do not satisfy the Portfolio Criteria, Eligible Collateral Assets or a portion thereof (the “Non-Qualifying Assets”) will be excluded from such determination to the extent necessary to cause the remaining Eligible Collateral Assets to satisfy the Portfolio Criteria. The Non-Qualifying Assets will be selected on the basis of, for purposes of determining the Borrowing Base, the lowest Assigned Value Percentage; provided that if two or more Eligible Collateral Assets have the same Assigned Value Percentage, the Eligible Collateral Asset that would (if it were not a Non-Qualifying Asset) have the lower Advance Rate will be selected for inclusion in the Non-Qualifying Assets. Any excess of Eligible Collateral Assets deemed to be included in the CCC Excess will be selected on the same basis as Non-Qualifying Assets.

Trade Date Basis. All determinations of whether an asset or any Cash is to be included for purposes of determination of the Borrowing Base, any Eligibility Criteria, any Portfolio Criteria or any other calculation to be made under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be on a trade-date basis (meaning that (x) any asset that has been purchased will be treated as a Collateral Asset from and after the trade date for such purchase, and the amount of any Cash to be applied to effectuate such purchase will be treated as disbursed as of the trade for such purchase and (y) any Collateral Asset which has been sold will be excluded as a Collateral Asset from and after the trade date for such sale, and the expected Cash proceeds from such sale will be treated as received as of the trade date for such sale so long as such sale has been made to an Approved Dealer).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Manager may declare any Collateral Asset to be a Defaulted Obligation if, in the Collateral Manager’s commercially reasonable business judgment, the credit quality of the obligor of such Collateral Asset has significantly deteriorated such that there is a reasonable expectation of payment default as of the next scheduled payment date with respect to such Collateral Asset.
